Hello,
Since consumables are even more important since TBC, i thought it would be a good idea to share a few farming spots i've got. (If you think this is a way to introduce my new website, you are totally right, but i'll try to keep enough informations on the post to not make it useless. ^^)
Most of the informations here are probably known by a bunch of people here but i thought it would be a good idea to build a database on how and where to farm things.
Consumables list on my website
Ancient Lichen
List of potions requiring one
Farmed in : (Solo) First part of slave pens, you can freely travel around the first zone of the instance (before you enter the building) without aggroing anything
See my website for video and informations
You can also probably farm them in all the other coilfang instances as a rogue/druid.
And of course in all coilfang/auchindoun instance if you've got a group.
Mana Thistles
List of potions requiring one
Farmed in :
North-West of Shattrath (Terokkar),
Skettis (Terokkar),
Twilight Ridge (Nagrand),
Forge Camp: Wrath and Terror (Blade's Edge),
Felstorm Point (Blade's edge),
Socrethar's Seat (Netherstorm),
Netherwing Ledge (Shadowmoon Valley)
Flame Caps
Don't know if it's me, but it seems they spawn more often in the Dead Mire, you can also get spawns of flame caps in the slave pens (see above)
Gromsblood / Dreamfoil
Video on google video
Still needed for flasks of titans (cheaper HP boost than fortification) / supreme power.
Farmed in : Dire Maul east, use the "hidden" entrance, west of the horde village. Then go all the way through the instance and pick spawns of gromsblood on the way, once you're in the "garden" you'll have 3 or 4 herb spawns. if you're a rogue/druid/mage it could be faster to get out by using the other entrance instead of going all the way back to the one you used at the beginning.
Primal Fire, Earth, Water, Air
All farmed on the Elemental Plateau, but it seems it sucks now.
You can farm fire is farmed in Blade's Edge Mountains, north of Toshley's Station. Earth south of Oshu'gun in Nagrand, Water south of Skettis in Terokkar, and air in Shadowmoon, north of the Altar of Sha'tar and in Netherwing pass (but they're a pain in the ass to farm.)
If something isn't listed here, it's probably because you can't farm it more efficiently than the traditional way of roaming through the whole zone with an bag full of luck. Or it'could be because i forgot it :/
PS :
I'm still looking for people willing to help me build boss guides, feel free to PM me if you're interested
