Hey there guys, this is Reckles with WTBGold and today we’re farming all of the level
40 herbs.
I feel like I’ve hit my stride with this series so we’re picking things up a bit.
We’re getting Sungrass, Firebloom, Blindweed, Gromsblood, Purple Lotus, Ghost Mushroom,
and Wild Vine.
These are all the herbs that mill down into celestial ink, so those glyphs are probably
their main use, but you can also make certificate of ownership, which lets hunters rename their
pets, and alchemy actually has a lot, but we’ll go through those recipes as we go.
It’s worth noting that when Deathwing came and cleaned everything up during the shattering,
this tier of crafts was hit pretty hard, So, like, some of the NPC that sold recipes don’t
exist anymore, and there are things like the Crest of Benoning, which summons a miniboss,
but that miniboss was removed even though you can still craft his reagents.
It’s weird.
#BrokenGame.
Anyways, let’s get started!
I tested every zone in the game for an hour, and these are the best spots!
Sungrass is first and it’s found on sunny open plains.
Your best bet is to farm in Thousand Needles.
Super easy route.
Stay on the perimeter.
Keep moving forward.
And just don’t go in the water and you’re fine.
I got 510 sungrass per hour here.
The important thing here is that every lap, when you pass by Plucky Johnson, you have
to buy a chicken.
Because chickens.
Firebloom is next, and it’s found near burnt sand or lava.
Tailors can use this for the Festival Dress, which is a nice 5000 gold red kimono.
And alchemy can make goblin rocket fuel, which engineers can turn into the goblin rocket
helm, an awesome 10,000 gold cloth spaceman helmet.
As far as routes go, this is a pain to farm.
Everyone and their mom says to go to Tanaris or burning steppes, and yah those zones have
the most nodes, but it’s either the only herb there or really spread out.
Just go to Badlands.
Fly around the perimeter and hook up through the dread scar.
Yah, you’ll get a little bit less firebloom, but you’ll also get 250 sungrass, and 150
Dragon’s Teeth, and 150 Golden Sansam.
Much better farming.
Alright on to blindweed.
I ragged on Feralas in our last video, and decided to retest this zone, ignoring all
the other herbs, and you know what?
It’s actually pretty dope.
I just went back and forth between the lakes.
The respawn for this herb is really fast and doesn’t seem to be tied to the other herbs
in the zone?
Long story short, I got 470 in an hour.
Not the most we’ve ever gotten of any one herb, but hey, this is a great place to stock
up and the full zone route isn’t bad.
Next we’ve got Ghost mushroom and it’s used primarily for the invisibility potion
but alchemists can also make ghost dye, which tailors use for the ghostweave set, a cute
little grey cloth combo.
Shows a little skin.
sells for 5k each.
For this herb we’re headed to Skulk Rock, a cave on the Northeast side of Un’Goro.
It’s a super quick lap.
Just run around inside the cave until the herbs stop spawning.
And then hangout outside for 5 minutes or so until they respawn.
If waiting is annoying for you, fly around the perimeter and mine up the thorium nodes.
Those drop arcane crystals which sell for 500 gold each.
And my favorite comment from wowhead ever, remember, they do not drop from lvl 1 cockroaches.
We’re finishing off with the zone Felwood.
Which is the best place to get Gromsblood, Purple lotus, and wildvine, which all make
just a ton of transmog stuff.
This zone is big but it’s Herb city.
The important thing here is that purple lotus nodes, which like Bruiseweed spawn in ruins
at the base of manmade walls and pillars, they have a 1 in 10 chance of dropping a wildvine,
and that sells for 500-5000 gold depending on your server.
Here’s the map of the zone, and here are the purple lotus nodes.
We want to follow along the perimeter for the most part because there are herbs everywhere,
but because wildvine is so valuable, try to dip in and see if any purple lotus nodes are
up whenever you’re near a patch.
In one hour we got 90 dreamfoil, 200 golden sansam, 200 gromsblood, 60 purple lotus, and
4 wildvine, making this the first zone to net over 10k an hour.
You could actually just farm felwood and get a wowtoken every month.
So, thank you for watching.
The big circle in the middle of my screen is the addon FarmHUD, I use gathermate2 for
node tracking, and an addon called faster loot to you guessed it, loot faster.
Subscribe so you know when the level 50 herb video comes out.
But that’s it!
Have a great day, good luck, and happy gold making.
