Gathering Consumables for patch 11.2

There are a few consumables which will greatly increase your materials per hour and enhance their quality, which will result in a higher GPH. One of the consumables even allows you to see hidden nodes! Simply buy them on the auction house or make them yourself.

The Phial of Truesight, which lasts 30 minutes, will increase your perception by 75 points. This is the one that will allow you to see hidden nodes! It persist through death, so don’t be scared of losing the buff if you find yourself in a bad situation. This one can be brewed up by a character who has alchemy, however it is cheaper buying on the auction house, instead of buying the materials for it.

The Darkmoon Firewater increases your deftness by 15% and lasts 1 hour. If you wish to get this yourself, it is only avaliable during Darkmoon Faire. You’ll need to fish up 25 Darkmoon Daggermaw around Darkmoon Island, then buy it from Galissa Sundew at /way 52.61 88.62 on the Darkmoon Island. You can also buy it off the auction hourse.

The Enchant Tool – Algari Finesse increases your finesse by 120 points. This one is a permenant buff to your profession tool. This can be crafted by a character with the enchanting profession, or bought on the auction house. This one is cheaper making yourself.

Herb and Mine Routes for The War Within 11.2

The following routes will have you collect the ores Desolate Talus and K’areshi Resonating Stone, and the herbs Phantom Bloom and Verdant Seed.

Best Mining Route for Desolate Talus 11.2

These routes will have you gather as much Desolate Talus as possible. Firstly you’ll need to head to K’aresh and its eastern or south-western most landmass. The best strategy is to follow the rocky terrains outer corners, where the mining nodes spawn. They usually appear on large rocks away from danger. This is also where you’ll find the biggest amount of Desolate Talus.

Mega route for Desolate Talus dedicated farming sessions.

This mini Mining Route for Desolate Talus is best suited, if you’re in que for dungeons or battleground. It’s a nice little way for you to make gold while you wait.

Best Herb Route for Phantom Bloom 11.2

These routes will have the Phantom Bloom in focus, and have you follow the most optimized path for it. You’ll have to start off by heading to K’aresh and either its eastern or south-western most landmass. In these routes you’ll be a little more exposed to dangers than the mining route. We recommend bringing some Darkmoon Firewater for even faster gathering. This has the potential to “save” you from attacks, by collecting so fast they won’t even see you.

We have made these two routes for Phantom Bloom. Depending on how busy it is with competitive gatherers on your selected realm, one route is better than the other, but that is up to you.
