![]() / Patch 3.0.2 (1): No longer a quest objective.Patch 4.0.3 (1): Now only gathered from Felwood. ![]() Here are the zones it used to be found in:.Blizzard seems to have done an evil thing with Cataclysm and completely isolated this herb to one zone (Felwood) and removed it from all the other zones.Purple Lotus is used in the following recipes: Requires 210 Herbalism to gather.Īlthough the drop rate has been severely lowered, it can also be dropped or gathered from certain mobs in some instances such as: Sometimes when picking a Purple Lotus, you will also find a Wildvine. I also found 2 Wildvine, which sold for a grand total of 520 gold.Purple Lotus can typically be found around troll, night elf and titan ruins in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. From there, I'd take the flight path back up to the starting point and do it all again.Įach trip took roughly 8 minutes or so, and yielded enough Purple Lotus Petals to create 6 Purple Lotus on average.įour quick trips later, I had the stack I needed and didn't have to take out a second mortgage on my house. Starting at an herbalism skill of 1, I would begin my trip at Whisperwind Grove and hit all the spawn points until Emerald Sanctuary. I decided I'd train my level 67 druid (who had no professions) in herbalism and fly around to see how long it would take to gather everything up myself. The problem was, I didn't have an herbalist! Seeing as I didn't want to spend 480 gold on a single stack of herbs, I thought I'd go and just get the herbs from Felwood myself. If anyone else cares to track this the same way, perhaps we could keep a running total commented in this postĬomment by XaemoonI needed 20 Purple Lotus for some enchanting that I was doing, but when I went to the auction house, I found that they were going for 24g each on my server. I counted the nodes and how many yielded a wildvine.ģ0 purple lotus NODES farmed. since previous content was from yesterday. With the guild perk for gathering, the actual number of purple lotus gathered will not accurately give a percentage of wildvine per lotus. that would actually give us a 10% drop rate per farmed node. I am guestimating, I made about 4 passes of the 5 spawn points (various nodes per point) so we could say, I got about 20 nodes, (some less than 4, some more than 4) so just for a quick reference. I was getting anywhere from 2 to 7 purple lotus per node, for a total of about 80 purple lotus yielding 2 wildvine. That percentage is the drop/proc rate, or chance.Ĭomment by gbalkamI think what we need to look at also, it that is isn't the number of purple lotus you pick that gives the supposed 10% drop rate, rather the number of nodes you farm to get them. ![]() Every time you loot a corpse, attack, or farm a node, an invisible die gets rolled, where X% of the total possible results ends up delivering what you're looking for. That's how pretty much any rate in an MMO goes. Now if you were to roll that same die 1000 times, you're far more likely to roll a 1 or a 2, 10% of the time - but even then, it's not a guarantee. It could be zero, it could be 4, but the chance is still 10%. ![]() As far as chance goes, that's also a 10% chance but the number of times you actually roll a 1 or a 2, may vary. Take a 20-sided die, roll it 10 times, and count how many times you roll a 1 or a 2. What it does mean, is that should you farm enough of these items, you will end up finding that 10% to be accurate. You can, but you can also easily get more or less than 10% in such a limited sample size. RISE UP AND SOAR Purple Lotus International is looking for women and young girls who are weighed down by their past negative experiences and low self-esteem, yet who are ready to rise up and soar above these things as they move forward by developing a growth mindset that attracts success in their lives. If the drop rate is 10%, it does not mean you will get 1 out of 10, 10 out of 100 and so on. Second, and more importantly, a drop rate is not a linear percentage. more people submitting their results), the more accurate it gets. Comment by digitalutopia1This is in response to restopresto's post, as well as possibly others, who seem to be confused how drop/proc rates actually work.įirst off, only Blizzard knows the exact drop rate, however - with enough samples, it's possible to get pretty close.
