Increase Spawnrates for Herbs and Minerals

[Youfie]

Black lotus spawns are not Retail like at all, Either do not make them Static spawns as they are right now, they are not ZONE but 1 spot spawn every 1h.
So you either remove every lotus from a game a make it a rare drop from every high lvl herb or you make it DYNAMIC herb nodes. Dynamic means you loot a herb it appears somewhere else, even next to you, that does not work as it should because going through the zone for 3 hours and getting like 10 nodes ain't Blizzlike.
You can see the dynamic respawns at low lvl, those are non existant, and you will be able to see it very soon on high level herbs as they will cease to exist aswell.

Black Lotus should respawn elsewhere when you collect it only if there is absolutely no other lotus spawned in anywhere in the world.

Are you sure Black Lotuses aren't working properly atm?

It would be stupid to make black lotuses drop from herbs like they are dropping in TBC. It's not how it worked in vanilla since it's obviously separate herb. And i believe that black lotuses spawn correctly on Nostalrius. I cannot confirm if they spawn 2x on 1 continent (example: both winterspring and silithus 2x every 1 hour) or if it spawns only 1 per continent. But what i can confirm that spawn locations are blizzlike and respawn time is between 60 and 70 minutes.
Nodes (both herbs and minerals) shouldn't be on priority list for fixing (if it even needs a fix, i didn't noticed anything strange so far) but rather major class bugs that are reported via forums.

It's supposed to be one per area (WS / EPL / Steppes / Silithus), i.e. 4 spawned lotus at any given time (best case scenario). Respawn rate 45-75 minutes (random), and instant respawn if there are 0 Lotuses in all 4 areas.

Seems to be working fine here in that case. Only one problem (might be my bad luck though), I've gathered it 7 times so far and it always dropped only 1x, all 7 times. I doubt it's my bad luck but who knows.

You might consider increasing the Spawnrates of Herbs and Minerals the same way as you are increasing the Spawnrate of Mobs.

As someone who dropped Skinning (263) and Herbalism (231) for Engineering and Mining I can tell you from experience the spawn rate is fine. I was able to reach 40 Mining in about an hour and change.

What I would like to see is node positions fixed. Some of them are spawning in the air and in extreme examples they're unreachable.

Black Lotuses are only supposed to have 1 drop.

I have mining 300 too, but I'm not only talking about the current situation but also about the future, where most people will only farm the lvl 50-60 areas. And Thorium is getting harder to farm, especially when you can only farm during peek times, because of work. Thats why i also suggested to have the spawnrates dynmaically so you can also farm during peek times.

Some of the nodes are a little strange, for example there's a spot in Winterspring that has 4 sungrass all bundled ontop of each other.

You gotta remember. The lowest the server population gets is about 3k. And that's still a LOT. It's gonna be a struggle to farm man. I agree that's some brutally low yield, but it's gonna be a battle.

It was never a struggle to farm for herbs on retail, why it should be a struggle here, sounds like custom made not blizzlike to me. At least THANK god for Diremaul east for 1 BLACK lotus nearly every ID.
