Black Lotus

If a Gnome moos in Elwynn Forest, does it make a sound?

Sindall-myzrael · January 29, 2020, 8:35pm

Yes… but only Chucktaurus can hear it.

Chucktaurus-fairbanks · January 29, 2020, 8:38pm

I was wondering what that was.

Chodem-sulfuras · January 29, 2020, 8:42pm

Hilarious.

A flask of Supreme Power alone requires 40 herbs not black lotus, and you get 2 herbs on average for each node. And most herbs go to consumables that aren’t flasks. Which means black lotus should be about 1 in 40 to 1 in 60 in high-level herbs.

I’ve seen 2, got the first one, the 2nd was “stolen” while I fought the mob standing on it.

Must admit I like the idea of random spawn locations and an increase in spawns.

Where the heck were you herbing to get 5 stacks in 2 hours?

Sindall-myzrael · January 30, 2020, 12:29pm

Un’goro and Azshara. It was one of those freak runs where most of the picks were 3 herbs. Usually 3-3.5 stacks is a good run. I also didn’t see as many players in Un’goro… presumably due to raid night.

Im not sure what their reasoning for making the population 10x the original servers were but leave all the spawn times the same. WTF?!? How does Blizz not see this as a problem?!?

Dadigum-kurinnaxx · January 30, 2020, 1:25pm

I herb ALOT.

I have not seen a single Black Lotus. I know a guy who has collecting them down to a science. This is dumb and needs rectified. Having to login at 4am is bad enough for Azuregos.

Slobro-incendius · January 30, 2020, 1:36pm

Same in between grinds i’ll make herb runs & sometimes dedicate entire hours to pure herb runs…never ever have seen a single lotus yet. The second they spawn there’s already a player/bot with a timer up and picking it.
Random spawns within other herbs wouldn’t be a bad idea… would be like golden pearls… however I think just increasing spawn times and mixing up spawn points a bit would rectify the issue.

Oxtail-old-blanchy · January 30, 2020, 2:28pm

I saw one, back in 2006. So we’re due for a respawn soon.

Busher-atiesh · January 30, 2020, 2:49pm

STOP… BUYING… THEM!!! flasks are not necessary for current content and after a couple weeks they wont be “needed” for BWL either.

if you stop buying them the bots will do something else.

Kräckr-draka · January 30, 2020, 3:07pm

ive found 5 lotus, all were found during early morning hours 5-7am while i was just running BL node to node and stopping for nothing else.

Tonygwynn-azuresong · January 30, 2020, 3:10pm

Had 3 sniped this week while killing the elite. 1 by horde, that’s fine. 2 others by ally.

Sindall-myzrael · January 30, 2020, 3:37pm

Same here.

Slobro-incendius · January 30, 2020, 3:58pm

Flasks are a requirement for any good progression guild.

Dadigum-kurinnaxx · January 30, 2020, 4:02pm

Why?

We clear MC in less than 2 hours without flasks.

Slobro-incendius · January 30, 2020, 4:25pm

Not for MC… for BWL if it’s “progression” you’re required to flask.

Kräckr-draka · January 30, 2020, 4:43pm

flasks are great, but not required, theyre only mandated for logs/parsing guilds who NEED to feed their egos.

like if you’re wiping, then flasks help you not do that. but once you understand content and no longer wipe. flasks are literally a waste of gold to rank higher than others, which is stupid. if you’re not first you’re last.

because… youll never be a “first” or highest ranked speed runner guild unless you have 40 specific classes, a bear is better threat and damage than a warrior 100% single target. having a warrior tank hurts your speed run.

in fact, not getting an unusal amount of crits like 70% average across the team then theres room for improvement in your run until you eventually get lucky. which is why trying to aim for first is just stupid.
