requires 170 Herbalism to gather

评论来自 120476

You can find them on the sides of hills, just look for anywhere with a rocky texture.

评论来自 AsclepiusZ

If your after this as a high level character, a good farming method is to go into SM Cath. guaranteed 2 herb points in each run and as level 70, you can easily skip every mob. Walk out, reset, repeat....

The lowest level zone with Goldthorn is Alterac Mountains (30-40). Most others are 35-45 or 40-50.

I don't know if I caught a bad day or others were herbing Arathi, but wow...3 nodes the whole time.

Spent about an hour gathering stuff for a lower level guildie to power level his alchemy and got...5 goldthorn.

Spent most of my time in rocky portion and poking about in the mountains so didn't get a whole lot else besides khadgar's whisker, 5 goldthorn and 5 steelbloom.

Only idled about 5-7 minutes total to answer a few in guild questions O_o

I think Arathi was having a bad day.
Edit:
ok between approximately the princess' crystal and hammerfall, I found one more spawned node.

yay six whole goldthorn -_-;

heading to STV now.

I'd recommend Arathi Highlands over Stranglethorn Vale (STV). Arathi Basin will probably yield the highest hourly return compared to STV if you're the only one farming Goldthorn.

Although STV has about twice the amount of nodes as Arathi Basin, it's spread out over 3 times as much area. Additionally, while there are nodes along the outer edges of STV, a lot of the nodes are in the middle of the map which makes setting up efficient routes difficult. The nodes in Arathi Basin are all along the edges of the map with a small gathering near the ogre cave in the center. Running around the edge of the map and plunging into the center when you reach the castle in the Southwest is an efficient route.

The major difficulty in trying to farm Goldthorn in STV compared to Arathi Basin are all the obstacles. Even if you locate a node, you may have to go around a mountain or to the other side of the Troll walls in order to get to it. Arathi Basin on the other hand is generally flat and if you see a node, you can head straight to it. There are also fewer mobs to aggro in Arathi Basin.

This herb node has gone from Herbalism level 170 to 150 in Cataclysm.

This should be a nice money-making herb until Blizz raises how much spawns because it's become uncommon enough that it's a bottleneck for Alchemists in the 180-215 range. It's also very popular with scribes for Lion's Ink, since it is very commonly used.

评论来自 Sheepyhood

I concure with niisama, that Arathi is probably the best place to farm these.

I found about 10 nodes through the area, mixed in with lots of Fadeleaf, Kingsblood and Khadgar's Whiskars.

They are most often on top of the small grey rock mounds sticking out of the grass.

I had a lot more luck finding Goldthorn in Duskwallow Marsh than anywhere else. The path is obvious, and the Goldthorn is relatively plentiful compared to Arathi Highlands or Hinterlands.

评论来自 769014

I'm not so sure about Duskwallow Marsh - today I couldn't find even one there, and I followed the path. Unless someone else picked it all just before me, there are better places. In Feralas, for example, I found it on much more places than the pins on the map state.

评论来自 104263

It's still appearing Dustwallow Marsh as well...although I did have more luck farming Arathi Highlands, a couple quick rounds of Dustwallow yielded over a stack.

In addition, I did find a limited amount in Desolace, mostly south and east of Shadowprey Village. I wouldn't go out of my way again to farm there though.

评论来自 Nethageraba

I disagree with the claims of Arathi Highlands being the best place to farm Goldthorn. I flew around for about 15 minutes, and only collected under one stack.

However, after flying just north, I find that there are noticeably more spawns packed more closely together in the Hinterlands than that of Arathi Highlands herbs.

Though there may be more spawns of Goldthorn in Arathi Highlands, it's a much larger zone to cover. Pick these in The Hinterlands.

评论来自 Darkgoddless

id suggest to farm either on cathedral or/and feralas. went to cathedral did the 5 time reset then went to feralas . i got like 35 goldthorn in 30 mins in feralas :)

评论来自 800752

I've been to all the places and Feralas is by far the best for Goldthorn. In addition you roughly get the same amounts of Fadeleaf and Khadgar's whiskers. If you fly down the middle and then to the shore in a straight line, picking all the herbs as you go. The respawn timer will have reset for all the nodes. Don't wase your time anywhere else.

评论来自 rbuffetta

I have had luck in each zone suggested by comments and wowhead, either late or early hours when others weren't in the area. I recommend checking an area out and move on if you have bad rng for this herb.

评论来自 Altaira

If you do the SM Cath trick, they tend to give you more towards 3 (sometimes 2) each pick. Very helpful.

评论来自 470907

So for anyone who is wanting to gather JUST Goldthorn with as few other herbs as possible, SM is the only place that is good. All the posts above are kind of garbage. There is very little Goldthorn mixed in with lots of other herbs for all those other zones. So if you are high level and grinding herbs to level alchemy, SM runs are the only way to get goldthorn fast.

评论来自 ThussAndGutler

If you are focusing on farming theese for the profit (Or well, every other reason) the Bountiful Bag guild perk is a dream. :)

4-9 goldthorn per Cath run gives a ton of cash, escpecially because Goldthorn goes for 40g/piece on Talnivarr EU :)

评论来自 matmurdock

While farming Goldthorn to make mana pots for my twink priest I flew to Feralas and Dustwallow Marsh. I can with certainty tell you not to waste your time, as the maps in wowhead are probably dated and worthless.

评论来自 rameymj

Arathi Highlands is a difficult grind for Goldtorn, but I did end up with 55 after about an hour.

评论来自 864850

Ok so to sum this up, the best way to farm it is in SM cath, but when the instance gets on CD, i farm in Hinterlands, it's quite close to SM and have a rich goldthorn amount growing there.

There's a good reason why they are called Goldthorn, cuz i sell theese for 30g each on Ah...LOL

评论来自 Kaiserin

Maybe it was bad luck, bad timing, or something else entirely, but I spent about an hour or so looking for these in Hinterlands after several people encouraged me to go there and only found a total of 21 pieces. There were 6 people there on both factions (had a friend check) and I ran the entire map over at least twice.. There was a wide assortment of other herbs though not any one type in particular more than the other. (Bruiseweed, Kingsblood, Fadeleaf, and Khadgar's Whisker namely.) Maybe I'm impatient, who knows, but I'm going to try STV next (that's where I used to farm them.)

Edited for errors.

Just did a run of Arathi Highlands for this herb. Went inland at the ogre cave as instructed.. 4 nodes. 3, 2, 2, 3. 10 Goldthorn in total. My Alchemy guide says I need 50.. stuff that. I'm going to check out Gravemoss in duskwood.

评论来自 872147

I did not find any in SM Graveyard (even after reset). However, Arathi gave me 22 units in 45 mins.

评论来自 521273

Would just like to say that whichever Blizzard designer decided that I *had* to have Goldthorn can go suck a back of dongs. Every other place in alchemy I can go with different flowers. Oh, and let's have almost no nodes compared to EVERY FRIGGIN OTHER FLOWER. Rage out.

评论来自 801141

I farmed roughly 40 goldthorn in 20 minutes in the Hinterlands - I'll send node updates through shortly

评论来自 MMOSimca

There are a lot of people here recommending one zone or the other: Hinterlands, Feralas, Stranglethorn, even Desolace.

Those zones could work, if you are lucky and arrive at a time when there is a high population of Goldthorn. The problem is that there are X number of herb spawns allowed per zone, shared with all herbs. Therefore, randomly, there could be all 10 nodes of Goldthorn up or 0 nodes.

There is a post here claiming he spent time in Hinterlands and got nothing and another stating he got a goldmine. If you feel like taking chances, you can fly around the world and hope to get lucky.

However, the only zone that will be consistent is Arathi Highlands because the zone is so highly made of Goldthorn. Yes, they are spread out over a mostly barren zone, so you aren't going to get much, but that is why Goldthorn farming sucks. People here are going from zone to zone to zone looking for a better method when in reality, there isn't one. Goldthorn farming is horrible in every zone.

I'd recommend doing the 5 Cathedral runs before heading to Arathi just because it is on the way and it is also very consistent with Goldthorn. There are 10-11 potential spawn points for Herbs in SM Cathedral, and 8 of those 10-11 spawns are Goldthorn. Between SM Cathedral and Arathi, prepare to spend 30-40 minutes to get the Goldthorn you need to level alchemy.

Take comfort at least in knowing that this is the worst part of alchemy leveling.

Patch 4.3.4

The best place I have found is the listing for Feralas (Shadebough Flight Point - puts you almost in the circle) by far, if you just circle up and back down several times your bound to pick up about 40 Goldthorn/Hour. What makes this better then Arathi is the circle here is very small.

One thing, you need to farm all the herbs as well it seems by doing so expedites the re-spawn of the Goldthorn.

In addition, add Darkmist Ruins to your circuit you will find tons of Blindweed as well.

1.5 hours I yielded: (58) Goldthorn, (75) Khadgar's Whisker, (25) Kingsblood, (100) Fadeleaf and (70) Blindweed.

Happy Farming!

评论来自 Rocky4209

People are scrambling to get these on Mal'Ganis for as much as 80 PER HERB. Get two stacks and you get like 3.5k or something close.

评论来自 907260

As of 5.0.4, The Scarlet Monastery no longer has Goldthorn...one full clear of both sides produced three Fadeleaf nodes.

Goldthorn is more of a nightmare then ever to farm.

评论来自 armyspc19695

I hate to say it to all the alchemists out there that want to find the blizzard employee that decided to make goldthorn a bottle neck herb all those years ago but Arathi Highlands is the best spot to farm the crap. Yeah the amounts are ass but the same applies everywhere. This herb still is a mind rotting herb to farm since you are going to be stuck running a hell of a lot of circles trying to get enough...My suggestion is to just work around yellow recipes since Liferoot and Kingsblood are SO much easier to farm the crap out of.

评论来自 derpomatic

As of Patch 5.2, goldthorn is way overpriced on most servers and difficult to find. If you're leveling Alchemy, a good workaround is 配方：自然防护药水 which can be purchased from 炼金师匹斯特苏格 in Gadgetzan. Note it has limited availability so you may need to park an alt there until it shows up.

Hit 215 in alchemy with Kingsblood and Liferoot (STV or Western Plaguelads) then farm Khadgars Whisker and Sungrass to skip Goldthorn.

评论来自 1463786

Do you wanna farm some goldthoooorn~
It's the most exciting way to plaaaayyy
I'll find some nodes for you and me
I've found like two or three
and I've been playing half the daaayyyyyy

They say I really need it
for my alchemy
but why's it hard to come byyyyyy?

Do you wanna farm some goldthorn~
It doesn't have to be just goldthorn...

After making a loop around Arathia Highlands you can take the tunnel to the north toward Hinterlands and make a loop through the middle of the zone. By time you're back to Arathia they should have respawned.

评论来自 alexiaras

As of Jul 2016, farming for Goldthorn isn't that great. A multitude of other herbs, Fadelead, Khadgar's W, Bruiseweed, Liferoot and Blindweed around water. Some Mageroyal too.

Not sure if this affected anyone, but when I was in flying travel from as feral druid, nothing appeared, however, when traxd to normal flying mount, they appeared.. it was odd. not sure if speed matters looking for nodules, you might fly right over them if you're going too fast. any ideas or comments welcome.. even the disparaging kind. I don't care.

评论来自 Eroda

There's a few in Mistvale Valley in The Cape of Stranglethorn, you'll find Fadeleaf & Khadgar's Whisker here too which comes in handy if you're farming for alchemy. Pick up the quests in Booty Bay for the Gorilla's if you haven't done so, if you go back and forth through the valley you'll get both the quest done and some precious herbs.

评论来自 Ryvi

My favourite place is around Camp Mojache in Feralas. Herbs are generally close to each other, with plenty of Goldthorn around and they respawn fairly quickly as well.
I should add it's packed with mobs and obviously being over lvl 60 and having a non-dismount mount or being a druid helps.
