So many potions in SoD require dreamfoil. I have TONS of the other mats required to make them, with the ONE mat being the issue being dreamfoil EVERY FREAKING TIME. Two kinds of flasks require 30 dreamfoil, EVERY protection potion requires dreamfoil. Greater elixir potion? DREAMFOIL! Basically if you’re playing a caster/healer in SoD, you need dreamfoil by the buckets every week unless you’re rich enough to buy all your consumes.
There’s so much competition on dreamfoil and few nodes. It usually takes me well over an hour just to get the 30 dreamfoil I need for ONE flask, and then I need more for protection potions and elixir. It makes sense they cost so much on the AH because they’re the worst to farm and prices on AH continue to increase. I have no issues farming consumes, but the amount of time for dreamfoil every week is crazy right now. I believe in the past there was the same issue with plaguebloom and blizzard increase the node amount or something, which makes sense to me, because I have like 800 of the dang things. Can you please increase dreamfoil nodes as well?!
I’m curious what others think of dreamfoil right now.

Do the searing gorge daily quests every day and you will get enough gold to just buy the flasks. You also get 1-5 dreamfoil for doing it usually! Dire Maul has dreamfoil nodes that are uncontested and soloable lol. Only thing that needs changes is shamans, they need to be nerfed!!! Hope you have a great day Docnova 
Thanks for the advice! I did do BRE dailies on all of my toons during phase 4 (exalted with both waterlords and TBH) and yes, it’s great gold, was able to pay for all my epic mounts and buy flasks. Sadly consume prices have continued to increase since phase 5 and also, I refuse to do another BRE, it’s torture at this point for me and one of the reasons I quit retail as it felt like endless grinds/dailies that are the same. Being able to farm my own consumes with my herbalist/alchemist is much preferable at this point then living in the searing gorge every day. I’m also on wild growth, which alliance outnumber us 3:1, they come in waves tagging the dukes so sometimes you might have to wait 3 duke respawns or more before you FINALLY get the tag, sucks so much. Blizzard should have just made dukes benefit all who tag at this point, but they usually only care about making balance stuff on pvp servers and forget what issues the pve server faces on the lesser population side, like Ashenvale pvp in phase 1 when horde had to all go on one layer to win.
When I was farming dreamfoil during late evening hours with less people on the server, I got 19 of them and it took me almost two hours (still 11 away from making ONE flask and still need more for elixirs/protection potions). During that time, I picked 126 plagueblooms. Like I said, in the past, blizzard increased plaguebloom nodes, which is very obvious to tell with these results. I just hope they can do the same with dreamfoil, as it’s used in way more potions/flasks than plagueblooms.
Also, why are all the flower picks on the alliance side female NE hunters? I pass them countless times in plaguelands and azshara lol.
They added the ability to get high end herbs in crates with Reals then made it cost 125 reals to get T2 bracers as their only source. Suddenly consume prices have exploded. Weird how that worked! No one could have predicted it! zzzzzz devs shooting themselves in their own feet.
They very much need to add more dfoil nodes. 1.5g per unit when a flask takes 30, lmao. It’s like we’re back in Classic.

They also told us to hold our emerald chips and showed during PTR we could buy herb bags (and enchant bags) with them, but then it didn’t end up happening…that definitely would have helped if they added that in the end. I rather farm chips on my skinner/miner for a chance at dreamfoil/ghost mustroom stacks then open world farming right now with so much competition and few nodes. Doesn’t help that SO MANY POTIONS/two out of the four flasks require dreamfoil.
Just go to dire maul east what are you even doing with your life lol
The crates don’t drop dreamfoil. That’s the problem.
Go to Aszhara any time and you’ll see 10-20 bots running circles between the nods. It has been like this since lvl 50. For me, dreamfoils and any other essential herb/mat, should be purchasable directly with reals and not part of random lootboxes. The problem with bots is real
