warp splinterFollow

Last time i did bot i discovered i could herb pick warp splinter. I got 2 black [or was it fel?] lotus's off him.

This sorta cheesed me since ive done bot so many times before and not realised.

so one question.

Does he drop flask herbs every time? SInce he's the last boss he might have a better drop rate for such stuff.

Has anyone checked this out?

he could be a very viable farming resource for guilds since you can avoid every boss in botanica.

How about with people over qualified for it? Over equiped?

I have run Bot as an herbalist at least a dozen times and only 1 time not been able to herb/skin the last guy..(here was loot left on him that some one didnt pick up before they ported out {vendor trash type stuff} and you cant herb/skin unless everything is looted)

i have yet to get a black or fel lotus off of herb/skinning him. i usualy get felweed, motes of life and one or 2 other random herbs.

your particular herb/skin was a lucky loot. now, he does herb/skin for alot more items then a regular mob like a Bog Lord, but the loot table should be the same.

I have gotten black lotus off of the bog lords in Zangarmarsh more then a few times. I have yet to get a fel lotus from an herb/skin though.

....so, a good resourse for extra stuff if you are running Bot...but nothing efficent to speciffically farm for...your better off questing for cash and buying lotus rather then farming him specifically to herb/skin him.

first question....is your herb skill maxed? not sure if that would make a differance, but, thought i would ask in case you maybe were a skill point or so shy of the requirement.

i have not run Bot on Heroic with an Herablist toon. I have run it on reg many times and not had the problem...noless loot was left that i couldnot remove and then herb....why it would change from H to reg or if that would make a differance...no clue.

sorry i cant be of help

You can also mine the 2nd boss in Mana Tomb, and he usually drops Planar Essence (enough lesser to make a Greater and some change).

FTFY.

If you know what you're doing, you can solo these relatively easily, although I would count on having to blow a couple cooldowns and maybe a pot, depending on class. For elites, they don't hit that hard. I've watched Warlocks solo them without ever being touched (they're Fearable), Paladins do their whole chip-it-down-while-being-the-closest-thing-to-immortal thing... Only thing I really hate is the fact that non-herbalists are basically uninterested in them, so I can never harvest the body. >_<

Edit: Typo.
