Blizzard returns Weapon Oils in The War Within and puts them into use again. Let’s take a deeper look.

Traditionally, Weapon Oils were consumables used to increase your power for a little bit when they deemed it right. With the passage of time, they transformed from simple stat bonuses to oils, not only causing extra damage and healing but also boosting your characters’ stats.
As an example, in Shadowlands, you could craft the Shadowcore Oil, giving you an additional chance of dealing 881 Shadow Damage. In the near future, you can craft a similar Weapon Oil as well. Its name is Oil of Deepening Shadows, and it procs an extra 567 Shadow Damage in combat. It seems like this new oil is worse than Shadowlands’ Shadowcore Oil. But to make up for that, its effects last 120 minutes, which is twice as long as what the Shadowcore Oil offers.
Weapon Oils in The War Within: What’s New?
Let’s talk about the Weapon Oils Blizzard returns in The War Within. In the future expansion, you will be able to craft them with the help of the Enchanting profession, not Alchemy. This is the most important distinction you must take into consideration.

Oil of Beladar’s Grace
Once you use the Oil of Beladar’s Grace, you have a high chance to cause extra healing in the amount of 3,130 while you heal the target. The effect of the oil lasts 120 minutes. To craft it, you must have 1x Profaned Tinderbox, 1x Gleaming Shard, and 15x Storm Dust. Plus, your Khaz Algar Enchanting must be level 70.

The Oil of Deepening Shadowsinflicts an additional amount of 567 Shadow Damage while you fight. Its effect lasts 120 minutes. To craft it, you need 1x Vial of Kaheti Oils, 1x Gleaming Shard, and 15x Storm Dust. Additionally, your Khaz Algar Enchanting skill must be level 70.
Community Opinion

Nonetheless, a minority of players think that Weapon Oils are necessary as they make professions more relevant.
