After farming lots and lots, I now subscribe to the theory that there are always going to be x herb spawns in a zone. Each time you pick an herb, another one grows. If there are 100 spawn points in a zone, 10 active, then each spawn point has a 1/91 chance to be the next one to pop up, regardless of which type was picked.

It *may* be a psychological flaw, but it really seems to me that the more I dont pass up other herbs, the more dreamfoil i get. The reasoning would be that if everyone picked dreamfoil and passed the other herbs, eventually 10/10 spawn points would be other herbs, which everyone passes over. If you start picking the 10 that are up, the new spawns have a chance at being dreamfoil.

At least, that's my understanding. Anyone have a better explanation, or proof of a different spawn system?

One of my guildmates is definitely convinced that picking the sungrass in Azshara increases the chance of a dreamfoil being there when she paths back around.

After a couple nights picking in Azshara, I can't say I disagree with her theory.

I suppose this means I may have to actually pick Artha's Tears.

correct nurru, that's what I've been doing the past 6 months, and many arthas tears do indeed get destroyed for lack of bag space. and sungrass... oh how the decimation of sungrass and firebloom in the blasted lands in order to coax out the gromsblood is a bloody tale indeed.

On a related note, there is an Arthas Tears spawn near Naxxramas in Plaguewood that I'm fairly certain has not been picked on Tichondrius in a couple months. It's always there between wipes, it's there everytime I head to Naxx and it's always the same herb. It's almost comforting in its persistence. Tonight it shall meet its end however.

Thats the exact same way alot of mobs work. I can imagine blizzard use the same system for herbs, ores etc..

Yeah, I would say its true from my experiences when I've been farming and the only one in Azshara I've been able to convert the entire zone into Sungrass after a while which is quite annoying. Same is true in Blasted Lands with Gromsblood.

You might as well pick them up since otherwise you will end up completing your loop before they are even suppoesd to respawn normally. (besides Sungrass + Blindweed makes cheap Superior Mana Potions which I chug all the time without really worrying about).

Hehe yeah I've turned all the potential mob spawns in WPL near the Bulwark from the spiders into bears when I was farming Ironwood Spider Silk

How is timespent Money Earned for Blizzard? Ideally they would have you paying montly for WoW but never logging in. Its worst if you are on 24/7 picking herbs that only on just to soley raid at least till they convert to a pay/hour system or something :p

and imbued vials if this site is correct :-/

No replacement for Mongoose either so far except for the insane 360ap flask

Going back to an earlier post, anyone know if the rumor is true that AP buffs will affect ranged once again?

The AP flask has me excited, but if nothing changes, yay rogues and warriors, stuff it hunters...again. ; ;

Kalgan stated they will be going back through, but Not all melee AP buffs will increase RAP. He said if they did that then there would be no real reasonin having a RAP in the first place.

I really hope they dont add any rogue consumables. The AP flask is bad as it is ( oh...all rogues must get this flask tonight so we can kill Ilidan .. /sigh )

I understand the need for consumables ( it makes the top end guilds interact with the rest of the server... go around etc ) but i dont want to be like our priests / casters who spend 80% of their money on pots / consumables.

SO less rogue pots pls !

Bring more rogues instead of mages . Vanish !!!!!
