Also spawns in at least one location near Satyrnaar in Ashenvale.

Commento di Vantox

I've also found one near the border between Darkshore and Ashenvale in the Zoram Strand

Also on the island in the middle of Lake Falathim, again in Ashenvale.

And at the lake in the Furbolg camp north of Astranaar (30,39 approx).

People, download the WowHead tracker. It will keep track of where you pick things up, you upload it to the site, and when they've gotten a few hits to the same node, it'll update it. Then you don't have to post saying you found it X other place.

:) It's easy and comparatively low memory, i promise.

The wildvine doesn't come out that much...
and these things are hard to find in STV.
for people whose levels are in STV, gathering wildvine and as well as purple lotus is hard.
Run to The Hinterlands, and go to jintha'alor. There's a CRAPLOAD of it, like LsdLOR said.

Prized by the Shamanistic troll civilizations of Azeroth for it's soporific and vision-inducing effects and cultivated by them for millenia, the Purple Lotus flower can be found growing in and around the ruins of their ancient cities all over Azeroth.

Just found a node of this at 11.2, 13.1 in Ashenvale.

Used to be found almost exclusively near the troll ruin cities on stranglethorn, hinterlands and tanaris. Sadly, those areas had their levels reassigned, messing up the whole herbalism lore and logic.

Thanks blizz.

*These days, the new mapping are just crazy here in wowhead... But just on the herbalism lore, these probaly will be settled down on felwood and tanaris. Like bruiseweed, appearing near constructions/ruins.

Okay currently i have found that since realease of cata, the best place i can find purple lotus is in felwood, and theese are the most popular locations i have found...
49,29 iron tree woods
42,35 shatter scare vale
39,45
38,67 ruins of constellas--- this being the area for the BEST drop rate, a picked up 11 in a matter of 30 sec.

hope this helps

I don't think there are any purple lotus in Tanaris anymore. . I went there because I needed 4 Firebloom and 4 Purple Lotus, but going everywhere displayed as having purple lotus on map yielded 0.

Commento di dustdog

Hinterlands doesn't seem to have any either. As gordonplayer stated, the herb used to be found nearly exclusively within troll ruins, but troll ruins are now populated with bruiseweed.

edit - many zones seem to end up having the problem of having a herb that's well above it's level range, or well above the rest of the herbs in the zone. Hinterlands for example has blindweed which requires 235, but the rest of the zone is stacked with goldthorn, khadgar's whisker, fadeleaf and kingsblood, which probably will be grey before your skill is 235.

edit 2 - khadgar's is still green at 235, well whatever i guess :/

You can find purple lotus anywhere in felwood where there are ruins. This herb only seems to grow next to rubble.

Commento di 836405

Guys it says that it has 10% chance.. well dont believe.. its less then 4.. at least for me:(

Commento di 464052

Do not expect to gather a lot of these,
especially if someone else is after them

Commento di Memphoman

in Felwood, got 37 purple lotus, 1 Wildvine.

Commento di 786450

After about 35 minutes or so flying around Felwood and hitting all 5 major spots on the map (where the concrete ruins are) a few times, I ended up with 53 x Fiore di Loto Purpureo and 4 x Vite Selvaggia. The area around the 'Ruins of Constellas' is by far the best area to get the goods. There are a bunch of Emerald Bearkin fighting with some Jadefire Rogues. So as long as they are fighting each other, they will ignore you.

If you're using the tomtom addon, copy and paste these waypoints to find the purple lotus ruins more easily.

/way Felwood 57, 85
/way Felwood 38, 68
/way Felwood 40, 45
/way Felwood 42, 36
/way Felwood 50, 31
/cway

note: type /cway to point arrow to the nearest waypoint at the moment.

As of December 5th 2011... It took me about 90 min to farm 2 of these things for an enchant. On the bright side I was able to get a TON of herbs while i was there.

Commento di Hairband

Using Samanthan's guide, I made 1 pass DOWN and 1 pass UP:

31 Purple Lotus

91 Gromsblood
80 Golden Sansam
20 Dreamfoil
2 Wildvine

So basically for every 7 herbs you pick, 1 will be the Purple Lotus.

It took me probably 30 or 35 minutes to nab the herbs as indicated on a druid with 310% flying.

MY ADVICE TO SCRIBES: Please don't be tempted to mill the Purple Lotus. The herb is probably excessively pricey because you really need it to level enchanting from 250 to 265 making Lesser Mana Oil. My thought would be sell it for market value which ought to be well higher than herbs you need to skill up.

Commento di 937905

I just got through gathering some Purple Lotus. I wasn't getting it because I wanted to PL, I was looking for the Wildvine.

I got:
132 PL and 4 Wildvine.

Commento di Thundastruck87

Was just farming for Wildvine picked up 38 PL and 4 Wildvine, just had 3 Wildvine drop from one PL.

Commento di restopresto

Drop rate is certainly not 10%. Currently i have plucked one from the 45 lotus. That puts it at a hair over 2%. Most of these posts are out of date and certainly don't reflect the change to green or the impact of the cataclysm.

Commento di restopresto

Felwood's by far the only place to farm these. They're pretty spread out with usually no more than 3 per area. If you are flying, work all of the areas where they're found. If you're ground mount, stick to the SW ruins

Commento di 959814

I mainly herbed the purple lotus for wildvine because i needed it for enchanting but the drop rate for the wildvine is extremely small. There are 5 key areas that spawn purple lotus and your able to hit all of them in at least 12 mins (flying of course). The purple lotus has a respawn rate of at least 6-9 mins and travel time between each point is no longer then 30secs. With each run you should have two spawns around (49,30) one spawn around (42,36) one spawn around (39,45) four spawns around (38,60) (make sure to check the whole area they can be spread out sometimes) and the last spot is at (58,86) which will have two spawns.

i did maybe 10 runs or so probably more but i got
Purple Lotus x 177
Wildvine x 14

which puts the droprate of wildvine less then 1% which means for every 12-13 purple lotus you might get 1 wildvine. So if you need a lot it will take you a while :)

Commento di digitalutopia1

This is in response to restopresto's post, as well as possibly others, who seem to be confused how drop/proc rates actually work.

First off, only Blizzard knows the exact drop rate, however - with enough samples, it's possible to get pretty close. The more samples (i.e. more people submitting their results), the more accurate it gets.

Second, and more importantly, a drop rate is not a linear percentage. If the drop rate is 10%, it does not mean you will get 1 out of 10, 10 out of 100 and so on. You can, but you can also easily get more or less than 10% in such a limited sample size. What it does mean, is that should you farm enough of these items, you will end up finding that 10% to be accurate.

If you're confused, picture it this way. Take a 20-sided die, roll it 10 times, and count how many times you roll a 1 or a 2. 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. It could be zero, it could be 4, but the chance is still 10%. 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.

That's how pretty much any rate in an MMO goes. 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 percentage is the drop/proc rate, or chance.

Commento di uttara

Wildvine can still be found with Purple Lotus in Mists of Pandaria. After three passes through Felwood, I have 50 Purple Lotus and 1 lonely Wildvine.

It is still a terrible drop rate, though from reading previous comments, the spawns of Purple Lotus seem to have been increased/fixed. Flying through Felwood, I have seen Lotus spawns at each cluster of ruins where the nodes appear and have had 2 or 3 Lotus spawned in each cluster on several occasions.

Commento di gbalkam

I 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. I was getting anywhere from 2 to 7 purple lotus per node, for a total of about 80 purple lotus yielding 2 wildvine. 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.. that would actually give us a 10% drop rate per farmed node. With the guild perk for gathering, the actual number of purple lotus gathered will not accurately give a percentage of wildvine per lotus.

I need a faster mount for that stuff. LOL

Edit... since previous content was from yesterday..

I went after more wildvine today. I counted the nodes and how many yielded a wildvine.
Here are the results

30 purple lotus NODES farmed. 3 of those spawned wildvine. (4 wildvine total)

If anyone else cares to track this the same way, perhaps we could keep a running total commented in this post

Commento di Malebogia

If you need Purple Lotus for leveling Alchemy, this path is perfect for you.

Start out at Ruins of Constellas in Felwood and zig zag your way north to the to the Winterspring border. You'll come across plenty of Purple Lotus to help level your alchemy, as well as an abundance of Gromsblood and Golden Sansam. You'll even find a few Dreamfoil when you hit the north end of Felwood. In one pass, I had more than enough herbs to level past that range in Alchemy.

Now that you're at the Winterspring border, you may as well keep going until you hit the Flight Path for Everlook. I stayed North of the road all way to Everlook, and I was able to pick up more than enough Icecap and Mountain Silversage for the Alchemist's Flask.

Commento di wtfoomnofair

These have a chance of dropping Wildvine, which is used for valuable twink enchantments.

Purple lotus spawn around the ruins in Felwood

Commento di Lbowrm

I'm lvl 100. Today after farming purple lotus for an hour and a half, I picked 94 purple lotus and got 4 wildvine. Takes more time than anticipated.

Commento di 380141

I 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. 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.

The problem was, I didn't have an herbalist!

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.

Starting at an herbalism skill of 1, I would begin my trip at Whisperwind Grove and hit all the spawn points until Emerald Sanctuary. From there, I'd take the flight path back up to the starting point and do it all again.

Each trip took roughly 8 minutes or so, and yielded enough Purple Lotus Petals to create 6 Purple Lotus on average.

Four quick trips later, I had the stack I needed and didn't have to take out a second mortgage on my house. Thanks, wowhead!

P.S. - I also found 2 Wildvine, which sold for a grand total of 520 gold.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Kangi##DELIM##

Commento di Chaosrock

After 1 hour of gathering herbs with the Sky Golem, 280% speed mount, Gathermate2 and TomTom addons, I've collected:

114 Gromsblood
101 Golden Sansam
59 Purple Lotus
38 Dreamfoil
1 Wildvine

After a while I stopped gathering anything but Purple Lotus, as I am farming for Wildvine. They're currently 2200g on my server and I can't quite bring myself to pay that when I can farm it myself.

Commento di Gymlea

I just gathered 37 in two circuits of Felwood, less than 15 minutes. Purple Lotus always grows next to the ruined building blocks. They are difficult to see. I started in the north at:

the ruins northeast of Whisperwind Grove
the ruins just south of Whisperwind Grove on the east side of the road
the ruins just north of the stream and west of the road at Bloodwing Post
the ruins west of the road & north of the Ruins of Constella, there is an allout battle raging there
the small ruins just east of the road near the south edge of Felwood.
