Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

1 lotus per zone, 1 hour respawn after picking, zones being Winterspring, EPL, Burning Steppes, and Silithus.
Wayback archive of wowhead shows 40 spawn points for Black lotus in azeroth.

I see comments from that same archive of wowhead saying that only 1 black lotus was available in azeroth at a time, but no timer.

Finding alot of misinformation and would appreciate a clear picture of how black lotus will work on this server.

I don't believe those stats are accurate. I was an herbalist all through retail vanilla and there was definitely more than 1 lotus per zone at a time. If no one else had been through, you could usually do a circuit through winterspring and maybe find 2-3 black lotus nodes.

No idea how it works on this server though. Nodes never seem to be quite right on pservers so I'm not getting my hopes up :/

Kaia,
I feel the same way. I don't remember timers at all when I played retail, and I don't ever remember specifically farming for Black Lotus. I just remember going to winterspring for icecap and picking up black lotus nodes while I was there.

Like on feenix....10 FIXED spawn-points....with 10_stealth_herbalist/spawn-point, using bots.

EDIT:
Forgot about the FIXED 1h respawn timer.

The Blacklotus spawns were scripted properly during beta.

I'm not 100% sure of the information below, this is what I remember. Just be sure the dev used trustworthy sources to script the things as they were supposed to be :

- The spawn cooldown was ranging from 45 minutes to something like 1h15 I think, randomly.
- There could be only one lotus spawned in each zone at any given time, BUT there had to be always at least one lotus spawned in one of the zones , which meant the actual respawn cooldown could be somewhat bypassed and the Lotus forced to respawn if all the lotuses of every zone were collected fast enough.

I'm trying to find the post with the sources in the Nostalrius french archive, there might be something I forgot / missed.

Makes sense to me. Thanks for the info.

This is exactly what i was hoping to hear.

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm curious, are the maps showing the spawn points of black lotus on Aowow db correct for nostalrius' version? Curious so I know if im actually looking in the right spawn areas or not. For example, i remember there really only being 2 spots in sith, one near a crystal at the twilight camp in the NW area of the zone and one at the hive just south of CH, but the map on aowow shows 4 spots(2 in the sw/se part of the map and one in the NE part right near the crystal vale.

Nostar has unique spawns of all nodes. Wont be the same as online db's.
