Here's my hint i'd like to share about this item:

- Early in the game if you're an herbalist and wish to make money quite rapidly try to gather as much as possible of this plant which by the way can only be found in Briathorn and Mageroyal plants and sell it in packages of 20 to the auction house. You'll see that it's worth a lot.

East of Loch Modan, you can go from north to south getting briarthorn/swiftthistle drops, then by the time you make your way around to go north again or so, it respawns in nearly the same places.

The south part of Silverpine Forest will net you a good 5-10 of each Briarthorn and Mageroyal. Briarthorn is a better source of Swiftthistle.

For any alchemists/herbalists (even lower level players with at least 60 alchemy skill) wishing to make some extra spending gold, making Swiftness Potion out of Swiftthistle is one good way to do this. Here's some helpful hints to get started:

1. Either find or buy the recipe for Swiftness Potion. I've never had a problem finding it, but if you already have sufficient funds and don't want to wait, you can put up a good amount of gold and get it off the AH. If you choose to farm for it, it's a world drop but seems to be found mainly in chests.

2. Go to either Westfall (alliance) or Silverpine Forest (horde) and watch your mini-map for any herbs that may come up. Mageroyal and Briarthorn plants both have a chance of containing Swiftthistle.

3. Once you've farmed a decent supply of both Briarthorn and Swiftthistle, make your Swiftness Potions and put them up on the AH. Unless inflation has your server by it's toes, the pots should sell for right around a gold a piece. Swiftness potions is highly sought after by all levels mainly for using in pvp.

Good farming.

Note that Swiftthistle does not appear on its own. It has a chance to appear when you gather Briarthorn or Mageroyal.

Swiftthistle is also used in Thistle Tea (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7676) which is for rogues only -- pretty nice for PvP for a little extra burst dps or end-game raiding when you mess up your cycle.

Swiftness Potions don't sell so well on my server, but my herbalist/alchemist priest makes lots of money off of Swiftthistle. Moral of the story: This is a cash crop. :D

The best place 2 gather this item is on Bloodmyst Isle, cuz u can get it from Corrupted Treant but it's only 3%, but there's also briarthorn and mageroyal growing there so I think that's the best spot ^^

It's a very good herb , it's used in a lot of rogue related products and is a reagent for "elixir of minor agility" which can be used directly or used as a reagent for leatherworkers making "nimble leather gloves."

This can also be used in inscription

One of the best places to farm that I've noticed was probably Westfall. The price for Swiftthistle is quite high on AH. All herbs are worth a good amount on most servers now that Insription has came for WoTLK, they need herbs to mill and make inks.

Commento di Deluge

So apart from it being a good lowbie money maker it has another fun feature...

Try saying Swiftthistle 3-5 times quickly in a row :)

Thistles contain millions of small hairs that break upon the slightest contact, the hairs enter the skin and inject the fluid.
The fluid is not toxic at all and infact purificates the blood, contains some important ingredients such as ;provitamine A, B-vitamines, vitamine C, chlorofyl, serotine, acetylcholine en histamine.

Anyways... people use it to stimulate their sexual lifes or just to get an adrenaline boost.
continuously rubbing the leaves over the skin should trigger a chemical reaction within the body so the body will start making adrenaline hence the use in swiftness potions or the food that restores energy for the rogues.

This can also be used to enhance your play in sports... you'll figure it out

I was casually farming over 2 days. Did not keep track of how long I spent farming.

115 Briarthorn
88 Mageroyal
42 Swiftthistle

Mathematically you get 1 swiftthistle for every 4 - 5 Briarthorn or Mageroyal.
Doesn't mean you can't collect 20+ without any swiftthistle dropping at all, just an overall average from the casual work that I did.

I tried barrens, too spread out, so I went over to Silverpine, and found a greater density. Less travel between nodes.

Hope these numbers help.

The best place to farm this now is at hillsbrad foothills. There is an abundance of mageroyal and briathorn in that area.

Commento di matamoros

I find it interesting that it cannot be picked by on it's own, and that it can be used for two items that are level-less. The swiftness pots and the rogue tea. Swiftness pots have so many uses, which I'm sure you all know. Being a scribe with a brother who's an alchemist specializing in potions, I have rediculous amounts of these stacked and use them all the time.

Commento di 787695

I recommend the Ruins of Mathystra in Darkshore, I've hearthed home with my bags full of mageroyal, briarthorn, and swiftthistle.

Commento di 961707

Made an account just to post this... be thankful.

I can confirm that Hillsbrad Foothills is the best place as of now to farm these (Swiftthistle) They spawn up with both Mageroyal, and Briarthorn.

Within 15-20mins of random farming (no specific route was taken, flew around the entire map) NOTE: I have epic flying, not 310% though.
This is what I managed to grab.

Briarthorn X 86
Mageroyal X 79
Swiftthistle X 45

Not bad at all considering I was thinking they'd rarely drop. The respawn rate is amazingly fast, so i recommend the Gatherer addon, makes it easy to back track your steps.. even though you cant fly around Hillsbrad for more than 3 seconds without hitting a herb on your map regardless. :P

Happy farming!

I can also say that Hillsbrad Foothills is a good place to farm this stuff even with the guild perks Im lucky to se 24 in every 5 loots. But its woth the time and effort due to the fact that the swiftness potions sell very well on my server.

Commento di Mysteriosf2p

from my experience in herb farming best place to get these is from hillsbrad foothills its filled with briarthorn and mageroyal.

Commento di drewbster

Without any perks, there seems to be about a 30% chance there'll be two instead of just one. Haven't paid attention yet on my guilded herbalists to see how many extras can appear with .

Also, Darkshore can be a good alternative if there are too many people in Hillsbrad.

Oh, and doesn't hurt to slaughter everything along the way in Hillsbrad since Trasportino per Gatto Soriano Nero is a zone drop.

Commento di Glowsome

From my personal experience, briarthorn has the higher chance of gaining it, in like ~ 15 minutes farming in Alture di Colletorto i got to :

- 75 Magareale
- 44 Grandespina
- 18 Sboccialesto

most of the gains (80%) were from Grandespina

I jumped on my herbalist and decided to time different zones and different routes in order to get the most amount of herbs. Keep in mind I am a HORDE DRUID, and flight/aquatic form helps out drastically with picking herbs. There are other items you can obtain through herbalism, however I'll be just stating the main herbs.

Each zone was timed for 10 minutes.

★ If herbs do not respawn at a good rate while on my druid, it will not be recorded below.
★ Links will take you to my YouTube videos.
