Patch 7.1 of World of Warcraft brings new recipes for crafters. We will reveal to you what news there is.
With the major patch 7.1 “Return to Karazhan” there is not only the namesake 5-man instance, but also some other content. In addition to new world quests and the conclusion of the campaign in Suramar, various crafting professions also benefit from new recipes.
For Alchemists, there is a new potion that is likely to be very popular in raids and could be considered a new “Pre-Pot”. The “Potion of Prolonged Power” increases all of a player’s attributes by 2500 for one minute. To create 20 pieces, only a vial and one unit of “Blood of Sargeras” is required.
Scribes receive a whole array of new Vantus runes that allow them to ease individual boss fights. The corresponding runes are for the 3 new bosses, namely Odyn, Guarm, and Helya.
Tailors are sent on a new mission to be able to craft a larger bag.
All Leatherworkers get their “Light” version of Heroism/Bloodlust back. With the Drums of the Mountain, the speed of all raid members is increased by 25% for 40 seconds. As usual, targets cannot benefit from such an effect again for the next 10 minutes.
Finally, Tailors can craft a new bag. The “Power-Infused Silken Bag” has 30 slots, making it exactly as large as its predecessor from Draenor. Tailors no longer have to farm “old” materials to craft good bags.
Please consider that these things are still on the test server at present. A lot can still change before the actual release of patch 7.1.
In The Division, the vendors will undergo major changes with patch 1.4. They are becoming more important and have Sealed Containers in their inventory.
We at Mein-MMO.de report weekly on the big vendor reset in The Division. On the night from Friday to Saturday, vendors will receive a fresh offering of high-quality items – however, this is becoming less interesting for many agents in the end game. Most of the items offered come with a low gear score and are therefore no longer relevant for numerous players. Thus, we have observed a steady decline in view counts over the past weeks and months. Only a few agents are specifically looking for the vendor reset.
But this is supposed to change later this month. Because the October update 1.4, which still does not have a specific release date, will bring some changes to the vendors. On the one hand, the gear scores of the goods will adjust to your selected world level, so the vendors can bring items with the maximum gear value. Additionally, their offerings will change.
Your currencies should be worthwhile again
Since 1.4, the entire loot system is being revised, the vendors will also be adjusted. You will have more opportunities to exchange your hard-earned currencies for useful items. Even the (normal) credits vendors will be enhanced.
The credits vendors will sell superior and high-end items with 1.4, which are lucrative for your selected world level. You can then also invest credits to improve your equipment. Until now, these vendors were uninteresting as soon as you reached level 30. The reset of these vendors will no longer be daily as before, but weekly, like for the high-quality items vendors. They sell sealed containers, similar to the ones you can obtain with 1.4 through experience points.
The vendors in the Dark Zone will also sell sealed containers starting from 1.4. The only difference between the DZ containers and the other containers is that the DZ containers yield slightly more Phoenix Credits.
By the way: The sealed containers contain one to two random items, whose gear score depends on yours, and a few Phoenix Credits.
With “Phoenix Credits” vendors, you can buy sealed containers, but these are not as “random” as the other containers. Here, you can buy categorized containers: Either weapons, gear sets or mods.
The “Phoenix Credits” vendor, on the other hand, will bring one item from each gear set, but the slots are random (that is, whether he brings a mask, gloves, chest piece, holster, backpack or kneepads from the set).
This “Phoenix vendor” is supposed to offer the best gear of all vendors overall.
Additionally:
The prices for gear sets will decrease with 1.4 to align them with high-end items. Assault rifles, shotguns, pistols, and sniper rifles will also become cheaper. Named weapons as well.
To be able to buy Dark Zone containers, you must be DZ rank 20. Furthermore, the general requirements to acquire gear in the Dark Zone have been lowered.
What do you think of the changes?

GTA 5 Online is already a very immersive game that conveys a very vibrant, albeit wacky, world. Therefore, the gangster epic would be ideal for a VR adaptation, right? That’s what the folks from the YouTube channel Corridor Digital thought as well, who made a really cool video on the subject, featuring Trevor actor Steven Ogg in the lead role!
Anyone who has played Rockstar’s iconic gangster game GTA 5 knows Trevor, the rude psycho thug who perfectly embodies the anarchic element of the GTA series and loves to create chaos and destruction all day long.
GTA 5 in real life?
And that very Trevor takes the lead role in a funny and well-made YouTube fan film by Corridor Digital. The GTA VR movie is basically about the tutorial level in a (fictional) virtual reality version of GTA 5. An unsuspecting player puts on the GTA VR headset full of naive anticipation, only to be shortly after kidnapped into a completely crazy tutorial level by Trevor in his underwear.
In it, things immediately get GTA-style, as there is violence everywhere, completely crazy accidents are the order of the day, and of course, shooting and explosions abound, making it a pleasure to watch. By the way, there is a clear warning for violence and rough language here, as there is plenty of cursing and killing going on.
The actor portraying Trevor, Steven Ogg, is actually the same actor who also voices in-game Trevor. So he knows what he is doing. The filmmakers from Corridor Digital also know what they are doing, as seen in their earlier work Battlefield RUSH. We have embedded the GTA VR video here for you. Enjoy!

Currently, Cryptic Studios is working on the Neverwinter update Sea of Moving Ice, which concludes the story of the adventure module Storm King’s Thunder.
In it, you will explore the sea of drifting ice, a very large area through which you navigate with a ship. This is a type of Khyeks provided to you by a tribe of ice hunters. Over time, you will be able to acquire better Khyeks, which will allow you to travel faster and maneuver better.
Cast your line!
From your Khyeks, you can also fish. However, deep-sea fishing in the sea of drifting ice works a bit differently than you are used to from the regions of Lonelywood or Winterfest. You will also need a special rod, which you can obtain in the new zone. Deep-sea fishing requires more attention and quicker reaction times from you. To catch all the types of fish available in the sea of drifting ice, you must explore the area thoroughly.
You will use the fish to provide food for the refugees from Wulfgars deer tribe. Only when they are strengthened will they help you attack the frost giants. In addition, you will increase your reputation, which grants you a new artifact weapon set.
In the sea of drifting ice, you will find more than just fish. Occasionally, you will also find treasure map pieces, which you need to collect and piece together. The maps will lead you to hidden places where you can find valuable loot.
The Sea of Moving Ice update will be released on November 8 for the PC version of the MMORPG Neverwinter.
In FIFA 17, a new Squad-Building Challenge is live: “Chemistry is Everything.” We will show you how to do it.
There is a lot happening in FUT 17 right now: A new Squad-Building Challenge (SBC), the 7-Clubs-Challenge, recently started. While this one is still active, another one is being added: Chemistry is Everything. Both challenges fall under the category Live-SBC, meaning they are only active for a short period.
The “Chemistry is Everything” SBC will test you. You will be asked in-game: “Are you up for the challenge?” Below, you will read how to master the challenge effortlessly.
Rewards and Requirements for “Chemistry is Everything”
As a reward, you can obtain a Gold Player Pack. It contains 12 items, 10 of which are gold and one card is rare.
In “Chemistry is Everything,” you need to build a team that is multinational, but all players must come from a single club.
The specific requirements are:
Number of players in the team: 7
Clubs: Exactly one
Nationalities: Exactly 7
Player quality: All Gold
Team chemistry: At least 60
The following positions must be filled:
ST, ST, CAM, CDM, CB, CB, GK.
You have two days left for this.
A Solution for “Chemistry is Everything”
To complete this challenge, you can choose a team from the Bundesliga directly: If you don’t already happen to have the right players with the above-mentioned requirements in your club, you can purchase affordable players from FC Augsburg on the transfer market. The following players are recommended:
ST: Alfred Finnbogason
ST: Raul Bobadilla
CAM: Halil Altintop
CDM: Daniel Baier
CB: Jeffrey Gouweleeuw
CB: Gojko Kacar
GK: Marwin Hitz
https://youtu.be/tqD_Ci4grvo
Consider that you can also use numerous other combinations for the challenge. The solution mentioned above is just one possibility.
If you want to have your own server in Battlefield 1, you can easily and conveniently do this via in-game shop. EA offers a feature called “Rent a Server”, allowing players to rent a proprietary machine for the online shooter that certainly meets the game’s requirements.
Until now, those who wanted to operate their own server had to rely on third-party providers and rent a machine from them unless they happened to have such a device on hand. In Battlefield 1, this is not necessary, as the publisher EA offers servers for rent themselves as the sole provider.
Always the best servers
The advantage of this solution is, of course, that EA can guarantee that the machines are actually optimally suited for Battlefield 1 and are always up to date. Additionally, support can be centralized, and problems can be quickly identified and resolved.
On the rented servers, players may customize various gameplay options and change the map rotation. However, not all gameplay features are variable from the start. EA intends to unlock more options after obtaining feedback from customers by the end of the year.
The complete announcement from EA about the “Rent-a-Server” program can be found in the source reference on the Battlefield 1 page. Further details about the program are expected to be released with the launch of the game.
What do you think of the new server rental feature in Battlefield 1? Is it good that EA can set uniform quality standards and that the machines always run the same? Or do you not like this “server monopoly” of EA and would rather have an open competition with various third-party providers? Let us know and write it in the comments!

Hello Games, the developers of the space game No Man‘s Sky, are currently very tight-lipped. The game’s Twitter account, which also belongs to studio head Sean Murray, has been dormant for about two months. There are no news or information about the game.
But now something is stirring at the studio. Paul Weir, who is responsible for the audio part, stated in a tweet that Sean is doing well and everyone is working hard on the next update. He cannot say more at the moment. It is also not his job to comment on the situation surrounding the game.
Hello Games are continuing to work on No Man’s Sky
His words are meant to calm the community a bit and assure them that the team continues to care about No Man‘s Sky. Nowadays, it seems somewhat odd when a development studio does not provide updates every few days. This immediately sets off alarm bells for fans and fuels speculation that the studio might be facing its end.
Hello Games has struggled with a rocky launch of the space game No Man‘s Sky and some criticism from fans. They will now take a step back and review further options. This may require some quiet time. The fact that they continue to work on the game, despite all the criticism, should indeed be seen as a positive sign…
In Destiny, the weekly reset takes place today, on October 11th. There are new tasks to tackle and artifacts to acquire.
Today at 11 AM, fresh challenges will come your way, but some activities will also come to an end. Firstly, the curtain falls for the weekly PvP event, the Trials of Osiris. Secondly, the October Iron Banner is also ending. This was the first monthly PvP event after the launch of “The Rise of Iron” and brought some significant innovations to the game.
The weekly reset brings a new Nightfall, new modifiers in the heroic strike playlist, new quests in the Prison of Elders, fresh “Iron Lord” artifacts, and much more that has become somewhat irrelevant since RoI, like the challenges in the Oryx Raid. In the future, we can expect new raid challenges – but then in “Wrath of the Machine”.
Nightfall on October 11th on PS4 and Xbox One
This week’s Nightfall is the Immortal Spirit. The modifiers are:
Epic
Specialist: Special weapon damage is favored.
Fresh Troops: Some enemy units have received reinforcements.
Puzzle Game: Enemy shields are resistant to unequal elemental damage.
Airborne: Players deal more damage while airborne.
The modifiers in the heroic SIVA crisis strike playlist are Heroic, Solar Flare, Sidearms, Chaff.
The “Iron Lord” artifacts this week
If you fly into the Iron Temple, Tyra Karn has three artifacts for you. However, you must first complete Noble Deeds in the Plaguelands before she hands out the items. The following are in her inventory:
The world is looking for Sombra. But sometimes the Overwatch hunt goes too far and results in real crimes.
The hunt for Sombra, presumably the next hero of Overwatch, occasionally takes strange turns. This is mainly because Blizzard has created an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) around Sombra, in which the hacker repeatedly embeds small details about herself and her release in various works. This ranges from small glitches in “Developer Update” videos to a strange percentage counter that keeps filling up incessantly.
A newspaper article mentions “Sombra”.
However, sometimes it is no longer a game and causes real problems. For example, there was a player whose Battle.net account name contained the word “Sombra”, which led some fans to hack this account. They even pretended to be the real owners of the account and forged various evidence.
In another case, there was a picture in an Overwatch comic that very distantly showed the login screen of World of Warcraft – even with a registered email address. Here too, the “Game Detectives” attempted to crack the account in order to possibly obtain new information about the upcoming hero.
The latest leak has also led to problems again. In the image that (allegedly) shows Sombra, there was a link to a website that requires a login from everyone who accesses it. More precisely, the “Blizzard Employee Network” – meaning employee access. This surely wasn’t part of this “game”, even if Blizzard hasn’t commented on it yet.
What do you think about the whole Sombra ARG? An exciting thing where it’s no wonder that some go overboard, or does the secrecy annoy you?
For more news and articles about Blizzard’s hero shooter, you can find it on our Overwatch game page.

Nostalrius goes offensive: Blizzard should create WoW legacy servers, or Nostalrius will take matters into their own hands.
The whole uproar surrounding the dispute between Blizzard and the Nostalrius team, a former unofficial Classic server of World of Warcraft, has been going on for a while now. However, the Nostalrius team is back and sounds like they are issuing a threat to Blizzard. It says in the Nostalrius forum (translated from English):
“Blizzard’s BlizzCon is on November 4th and 5th, so in a month. This is the perfect opportunity to announce plans for legacy servers and possibly fulfill the dreams of millions of fans around the world.
Yes, Blizzard is aware of the legacy issue, thanks to you. (…) As a consequence, if Blizzard does not make an announcement to honor their own values, rest assured that we will.
In the end, satisfying the community is the only thing that really should count.”
Nostalrius and the Blizzard staff – it looked peaceful.
This can easily be seen as a threat to Blizzard and sounds like Nostalrius simply wants to set up a server themselves if Blizzard does not take action.
This year’s BlizzCon will likely be exciting – perhaps not because of what will be announced, but because of what may not be announced.
Cortyn says: I can’t imagine that Nostalrius would really go on a confrontation course with Blizzard, as it seems like a very unequal fight. It is possible that the guys and gals from Nostalrius already know a bit more than the rest of us. If that is not the case, then one can expect an exciting conflict that should at least make some headlines. But hey, that also secures my job somehow.

The resource Blood of Sargeras in WoW will become more valuable with Patch 7.1 – we reveal what is changing.
At the launch of the expansion “Legion,” Blood of Sargeras was quite rare and valuable – one needed the life essence of the demon lord to craft a variety of items and then enhance them with Obliterum. However, by now the blood has lost much of its value, and some players don’t even know what to do with it.
Enough blood spilled
Most players have now exhausted their Blood of Sargeras to craft good gear. However, even after that, the resource continues to flow into inventories, as bosses in dungeons and world quests often grant large amounts of the blood. This is particularly frustrating for pure collecting characters, as the blood is soulbound and thus worthless without a processing method.
After crafting the armor, Blood of Sargeras hardly has any use.
This will drastically change in Patch 7.1. From then on, there will be a vendor who exchanges the blood for various crafting materials. For almost all crafting materials, you get 10 in exchange for 1 blood, with the following exceptions:
Demonsteel x5
Leylight Shard x3
Starlight Rose x3
Intact Tooth x20
Intact Claw x20
Box of Order Resources x1
Especially the box will please many players, as it is account-bound and contains 200 order resources, which can easily be given to their alt characters.
These details are currently still from the PTR – they may change before the release of the patch.
Cortyn says: While I appreciate that one can buy various crafting materials for Blood of Sargeras, I find the account-bound order resources to be a thorn in the side. For this takes a very significant step towards the “twink obligation” and ultimately ensures that players lounge around in the order halls with their 10 characters. Order resources should only be granted to a character when they go “out into the world” – and that should not change. I fear Blizzard is making a big mistake here. One that could easily be avoided.
At least I then have a good source for Highmountain Salmon…
The action MMORPG Marvel Heroes is parting ways with the Omega system.
The Omega system in Marvel Heroes is an alternative progression method where it’s easy to lose track. There are 14 pages with countless nodes, into which players can invest points they collect after reaching the maximum level.
In an effort to make the whole game clearer and easier to understand, this must now give way. And it will be replaced by a simpler “Infinity” system.
The developers at Gazillion say: Everything you love about the Omega system will be packaged into a sleek shell that is much easier to use.
These SBCs can be categorized into Live, Basic, Advanced, and Leagues. While just a few days ago, the “Loyal Guys” challenge was up, now for two days the “7-Clubs-Challenge” is a live SBC. What are the requirements and rewards?
The rewards for the 7-Clubs-Challenge
The reward for this SBC is modest: it consists of 1000 coins and a Player-Only Pack. Since this challenge is not too demanding and can be fulfilled with your “leftover cards”, the reward seems appropriate.
In the Player-Only Pack, there are 12 players, including 4 Gold and one Rare.
Here are the requirements
For this challenge, you need to build a defense and a midfield. You need a total of 7 players, each belonging to a different club. You need:
Three CBs
One LM
One RM
Two CMs
Additionally:
Different Leagues: At least 5.
Different Nationalities: At least 5.
Clubs: Exactly 7.
Player Quality: All Gold.
Team Chemistry: At least 39.
If you do not sell or put all players from your packs on the transfer market immediately, you should quickly find what you need in your club.
A possible solution
If you want to specifically search for players on the transfer market to master this challenge, you can choose the following players:
LM: Steven Pienaar
CM: Aaron Mooy
CM: Adrien Rabiot
RM: Paul Lasne
CB: Daniele Gastaldello
CB: Emiliano Moretti
CB: Niko Bungert
These are relatively cheap players that meet all the criteria. However, there are countless other combinations available.

In Diablo 3, the current Season 7 will end this Friday and Season 8 will follow soon after. So far, there hasn’t even been a PTR patch for the eighth season.
Diablo 3 ends the seventh season of the action RPG on October 14. So far, so good, but Season 8 starts just a week later, on October 21. This is unusually quick for Blizzard, as the developers usually take at least two weeks between the end and start of a season.
Rewards for Season 7
Also unusual: There has not yet been a patch for the eighth season on the PTR of Diablo 3. Therefore, one can assume that there will be few innovations and changes this time, and thus no long testing times are needed.
As is customary in Diablo, your seasonal characters will be converted to normal heroes between seasons, and your corresponding resources (Paragon experience points, blood shards, gold, etc.) will also be transferred. By the way, don’t forget to check your mailbox, as if there is no more space for your items, they will be sent to you via mail, and these mail messages will disappear irretrievably after 30 days.
In addition, there are of course the promised rewards for the end of Season 7 if you have reached Level 70. You can find more details about Seasons 7 and 8 in the source reference.

In The Division, there is a wealth of information about the loot system from update 1.4. We summarize it in English.
In the last State of the Game, the developers revealed several new features regarding the loot with update 1.4. Massive has since released a detailed report listing and explaining all the loot changes.
The availability of good loot will be improved
The “availability” of good loot will be emphasized with 1.4. This means that almost every enemy can drop items that help you progress, which can improve your agent, which are relevant. Whether in the open world, in the Dark Zone, underground, or in missions. The exception is the incursions: only named enemies and bosses drop gear here. The gear score depends on the chosen world tier.
Additionally:
All items will be categorized into item pools with patch 1.4. This is intended to make your loot more diverse. An enemy can drop items from different pools. From each pool, a maximum of one item can come per enemy. For example, a mod drop will never “prevent” the drop of a gear set. Instead, you can get both, or items from other pools. However, you will not receive two mods simultaneously from one enemy.
It is now worthwhile, for example in the underground, to defeat all enemies, as even the unnamed Riker in the corner could drop the loot you currently need. You no longer have to “rush through” to the final boss. Fights in “Search and Destroy” missions and HVTs are also worthwhile.
The higher the difficulty of the enemies (Normal, Veteran, Elite), the greater the chances for loot drops. The quality remains the same. Because as mentioned: every enemy can drop relevant items.
Especially interesting: All gear sets will be available to all players. In Division 1.3, you obtained some sets only from specific activities. With 1.4, all parts of all sets can be obtained anywhere in the MMO shooter – and for all players. In other words, it no longer matters whether you own the underground DLC or the season pass for the sets. Every player can obtain all available sets in the game.
The final chest in the underground will only contain purple items in world tier 1. There was an issue with this on the PTS.
Mods at level 33 will be introduced. Additionally, mods will be available in all quality levels.
“Hard”, “Challenging”, and “Heroic” do not determine the quality of the loot, but only the quantity. If you want to quickly obtain cool items and have strong agents at your side, you can increase the difficulty.
The Dark Zone remains the best place to obtain the most loot. On the one hand, it is still the most dangerous place in the game, where betrayal lurks around every corner, and on the other hand, it has the highest concentration of elite enemies and veterans.
The weighting of loot in incursions
You will receive all gear sets anywhere in the game. However, if you want to search for a specific armor piece, you can opt for specific incursions. The weighting now works not by gear set, but by armor slot. Bosses and named enemies drop all kinds of loot in incursions, but the final reward follows a predictable pattern:
Falcon Lost: Gloves, Mask
Clear Sky: Chest, Holster
Dragon’s Nest: Backpack, Knee Pads
Sealed containers through experience points
Once you reach level 30, you will still receive experience points. With 1.4, the XP in the endgame should have a purpose: Once you have filled the XP bar, there is no higher level, but a sealed container! Inside this container, there are two random items that depend on your gear score, and a few Phoenix Credits. This way, the XP bar is emptied again and fills up from the beginning. This system is called “Field Proficiency” by Massive.
You can also receive these sealed containers by completing daily and weekly missions. Therefore, they should also become meaningful again in the endgame. Additionally, you can purchase sealed containers from vendors.
Crafting
Crafting tasks will reward you with special sealed containers. These contain some crafting materials. Additionally, the “Division Tech” requirements for all blueprints have been removed.
Furthermore, blueprints for named weapons will no longer be sold. If you own any, you can still keep them after 1.4. However, they will remain at the previous gear score.
Additionally, minor changes will be made: You will receive more targeting data from “Search and Destroy” missions. There are 5-10 extra on top of the regular drops.
Moreover: The crafting station now requires 0.5 seconds less to be ready!
What do you think of all these changes?

In Destiny, we look at a new auto rifle: The Unyielding Tree. What can this Iron Banner exclusive weapon do?
For the first Iron Banner after the launch of “Rise of Iron”, Efrideet brought “The Unyielding Tree” (auto rifle) and “The Proud Tower Top” (shotgun). In this article, we take a closer look at the auto rifle: How does it perform in practice?
How do I obtain “The Unyielding Tree”?
There are four ways to obtain this weapon. A prerequisite for this is that the monthly Iron Banner event takes place:
By purchasing from Efrideet: In the coming months, Efrideet will bring back the Unyielding Tree with fixed perks – as in the October Iron Banner 2016.
As a random drop after Iron Banner matches: When Efrideet offers the weapon, it can also be randomly obtained after matches, with random perks.
As a reward for completing bounty quests: If you successfully master the new “Iron Banner” bounties, you will receive an immediate reward. The weapon rewards can include all Iron Banner weapons – not just the two weapons offered by Efrideet.
As a random reward for the quest “The Pursuit of Light”, where you need to reach ranks 1, 3, and 5 in the Iron Banner.
What makes “The Unyielding Tree” special in Destiny?
“The Unyielding Tree” was forged in honor of Saladin and is an auto rifle with maximum fire rate and minimal impact. The advantages of this weapon lie in the magazine size, reload speed, aim assist, and very fast “Time to Kill”: 17 body shots are needed to eliminate another Guardian. Here are the stats:
The major disadvantages are the very low range and stability. The stability is not enough to easily control the high fire rate. Therefore, you need to rely on perks that specifically compensate for this drawback.
Options include: Smallbore, Balance Compensation, Hand-laid Stock, Injection Molding, Reinforced Frame, or Perfect Balance. Due to the large magazine and high fire rate, Persistence is also interesting, making the weapon more precise the longer it is fired.
How the perks perform in practice can be seen in the following video by Nexxoss Gaming, who created a review of the weapon:

“The Unyielding Tree” is an excellent weapon that can eliminate opponents in a short time – but under two conditions: The opponents must not be too far away, and you need to be able to “tame” the weapon. If many shots hit, the enemy will fall quickly; if not, you will come off worse.
Nexxoss Gaming also has a tip for everyone who says: “I actually like the weapon quite a bit, but I can’t handle it at all”: Try out the perk “Fire Focus“. When zoomed in, the weapon fires slower but deals additional damage. This makes it easier to keep the crosshair on the opponent. However, the TtK decreases slightly.
Otherwise, the rule is: Practice makes perfect. If you have little experience with this auto rifle archetype, you first need to familiarize yourself with it. “The Unyielding Tree” is a good option for that. The weapon is deadly at close range and can be complemented in the special weapon slot with a sniper.

When gathering herbs in WoW: Legion there’s nothing to consider? Our guide convinces you otherwise.
Herbalism is arguably one of the simplest professions in World of Warcraft. You see a flower on the minimap, rush over, gather it … and done. Wrong! With Legion, there are many small details of herbalism that you should pay attention to if you want to maximize efficiency.
Aethril – the wonder plant with the great bonus
Aethril should be your top priority when you start gathering. Because Aethril (Rank 3) gives you a special property that also affects all other plants! Whenever you harvest an herb, there’s a small chance that another plant of the same type spawns right there. And before you ask: Yes, this new plant can trigger all effects – sometimes leading to chain reactions of 4 or 5 plants, which massively increases gathering efficiency!
However, you should bring a bit of time, because while “Aethril (Rank 1)” and “Aethril (Rank 2)” can often be obtained in just a few minutes, the quest starter for Rank 3 can take many hours before you find it at a flower. We needed exactly 43 rounds in Azsuna, which meant over 2000 herbs. The endurance is worth it though, as this bonus applies to all plants – yes, even to annoying Starstalkers.
Enchanting and Shredder – More speed, less downtime
If you’ve already gathered some herbs, you’ve likely noticed the many other players in goblin shredders. These mounts allow you to stay in the saddle while picking flowers. You can either buy such a shredder from engineers at the auction house or obtain it for an achievement, which requires you to collect 300 different toys – particularly with Legion it’s “relatively” easy to achieve. Then nothing stands in the way of your Mechanical Wood Extractor.
With the shredder, farming becomes a piece of cake.
If that’s too expensive, you can also visit a blacksmith you trust and buy some Demonsteel Stirrups. This item allows you to interact with items (like plants) for 2 hours without dismounting.
Also, you should get the Legion enchantment for herbalism. This is applied to gloves and thus does not interfere with any “important” enchantments. The enchantment ensures that herbs are harvested significantly faster. It takes about 0.5 seconds, allowing you to often finish before enemies even realize you’re picking an herb. Especially in combination with the shredder, you can farm without ever having to dismount!
More tips and tricks
With Dreamleaf, you can already tell in advance whether an angry plant will appear when harvesting, which leaves even more Dreamleaf. If the herb has a reddish color (see screenshot), a foe will definitely appear when harvesting!

… rotes Traumlaub garantiert!
Dreamleaf is best farmed not from the actual plant, but in Shala’nir (Val’Sharah). Hunt “Mischievous Sprouts” here. These creatures can be “harvested” after death and always leave behind Dreamleaf and often Yseralline Seeds. Between 2 and 12 Dreamleaf drop from a single creature.
Unlike all other herbs, each Aethril plant has exactly one possible spawn point. This is where helper addons like “Gatherer” really pay off.
When gathering Foxflowers, you should have the in-game sound turned on at all costs! Occasionally, after harvesting, foxes spawn that leave a trail of herbs behind – you can recognize them by their distinctive howling. Just walk over the flowers on the ground, and you’ll be about 20 Foxflowers richer.
For maximum effectiveness, you should get the shoulder enchantment Boon of the Harvest from the Dreamweavers (friendly). Then slain enemies occasionally leave behind bags with herbs.
Most herbs have certain “events” – Dreamleaf creates a special enemy that leaves even more Dreamleaf.
And one last tip: If you see other players also gathering herbs, join them. In Legion, all players can benefit from a single plant if harvested within a 10-second time window. Work together, not against each other, then everyone has more.
