While on the subject of herbs, has anyone else gotten rings while picking ancient lichen? I don't remember it happening in beta and thought it was a neat little addition.

No, its located in Lvl 70 flying only areas with same mechanics as regular herbs in that several nodes share the same herb timer and only one is allowed to be up at a time. So in a sense Black Lotus is actually the exact same as regular herbs just its not local but global the nodes its shared with.

Yes I got one off a lichen in Mana Tombs. Green and DEed, but still very nice touch.

Holy crap crackers. if the procs from Transmute Mastery are in line with the procs for Elixir Mastery, I think that the profit margin might be a bit slimmer than initially thought.

If how it works is to proc an extra 1 to 5 elixirs then going off that image the proability of a proc is almost 50% (5 out of 11). That is pretty good.

Nightmare Vine: Only grows in Shadowmoon Valley. Haven't picked any yet don't know if there are any effects.
100dps DoT for 8 seconds.

Terocone: Only grows in Terokkar Forest.
Can be harvested off bog lords in Zangermarsh as well.

Dreaming Glory: Only grows in Mountainous/Hilly areas but grows in every zone (Very similar to mountain silversage). Grants a small 30health every 5 seconds buff that last 15 minutes.
This buff is either useless or bugged in that it doesn't function while in combat.

Just got talked too a GM and he said that the quest (Master of potions) can't be completed at this time.
They would investigate further.

I can post a pic of the conversation if you like?

Awesome, Thanks everyone. And just from what I've gathered:

Transmute Master: Stormspire (Netherstorm)
Elixir Master: Shattrath (NW Part of town)
Potion Master: Cenarion Refuge (rumor is this quest is broken right now, I have no first hand experience with this though.)

And I can't belive I made it this far without using wowhead before :x

I've seen one dot in netherstorm on the little island where you teleport to do the kill the big red demon quest (if I knew the name of the demon or the quest, I'd say so.. but I don't)... forgot to pick it after we completed the quest however. :P

Mana Thistle has a fun little side effect of giving you something between 1500 and 3000 mana when you pick it (from personal experience so far).

I suppose it could be a nice little downtime helper for casters who do choose to grind in the few spots it grows.

Skettis in Terokkar is one such place and has a bunch of level 70-72 mobs, including some water elementals for motes.

Mana Thistle isn't really the rarest that goes to Ancient Lichen due to the vast quanties of it you actually need in comparison to mana thistle. BTW there is lots of those "bugged" areas since they never updated the terrain on the servers still... That bugged mana thistle can be reached though because its not under the altar but under the ground on a ramp that didn't used to be there but was added in and you can click on objects underneath the ground.

Killed about 100 of them already >.<

They're non elite 70-71 yeah?

Has anyone see a guide that details what recipes drop from which mobs and the zone they are located in?

Edit: I also wanted to add that I discovered Flask of Shadow Fortification while making Unstable Mana Potions.

High demand wouldn't make Lichen a rare herb. Especially since most of the spawn spots are in instances, so you don't really compete for them (outside of your group) More valuable, maybe.


I've already built up a stack and a half without trying.
