This spawns in one Netherstorm location and is absolutely miserable to loot with people competing over it like this. It really should proc on chance whilst gathering all high level herbs (Nightmare Vine / Netherbloom)
I’m having a rough time, even when successfully changing layers there will be 4+ people hovering in the one location, not actually sweeping the entire zone searching like we all should be. Very stressful split second response time to a yellow dot appearing on the minimap
Get ready for the bots parked on every spawn point.
Twilight Ridge in Nagrand is the best spot imo.
You can kill orcs for aldor turn ins and if exalted you can sell them while also getting herb.
@Blizz can you do something about this? This is absolutely insane ! 10 [H+A] on each layer for mana thistle. Just hovering over and absolute chaos if there is a spawn!
absolutely waste of time if this continues since folks are not geared and require flask!
mana thistle is an extreme outlier in what is already a completely busted economy. resources of all kinds are incredibly difficult to obtain due to the sheer number of players they’re jamming on to a tiny number of layers.
they need to make all kinds of fixes, but since they’ve already got that boost money out of us, they’re most likely gonna maintain radio silence and let this dog sh MEGA server ride.
Randomize all gathering spawns in a zone would alleviate this.
This is what i wish to happen, they made this change in SoD i think but too late
Outside of the novelty of phase 1, SoD was pretty bad.
that’s nice, nobody asked
One thing that SoD did right was vastly increasing herb spawns and randomizing them
I buy when its under 19g now. Ill sell later for profit after a bot purge.
really hoping blizzard gives TBC support beyond launch. these bot armies are now mass banning people on top of destroying the incredibly small number of layers they’re giving us to play on. it’s pretty gross what we settle for out of desperation with this company.
The bots are 24/7. I ‘ve made ONE flask in a month. Come on Blizzard this is insanity.
You understand when that happens, they’ll just buy that many accounts again, or more… Right?
No such thing.
After a bot purge prices tend to go up as supply gets temporarily squeezed so if you’re going to be a gold goblin you can try to time your sell off point around it.
Same principle why people loved MBers in retail with the way shared nodes worked. Kept prices low.
Edit: personally I’d be a bit nervous about trying to time the market on mana thistle and a bot purge. When T5 launches you can get flasks from raiding so you could see mana thistle prices plummet and if a bot purge happens after that you’ll lose money.
