Where is the master herbalism trainer in outland?

I've just finished all quests in Hellfire Peninsula with my first and only character.. The game has just got a whole lot better for me i've went from lvl50 to 64 in about 2 weeks. Going to head out and buy WOTLK in a couple of days as i'll be due to hit grand master with mining and think i'll start a new character as a DK.

Only downside is the amount of group quests in outland and i'm a solo player so spent a lot of time sitting around begging for healers or groups. There should be an option to turn off group questing which turn the quests into easier solo quests.

So addictive..

^ I have never played the game but is it possible to play solo? I probably would play if I could do that...

Yeah i've reached 64 doing it solo. Non of my friends play it and i've made no in game friends. If i really want to complete a group quest i'll just ask for a healer or group and luckily you'll find someone on the same quest.

You can join guilds, which is basically a group so those guys will probably help. But i've not got into that yet.

I'm going back and completing all the quests I skipped (in outlands) and I must say, even though I'm 10+ levels higher than the content I'm facing, hunters have such a wide array of abilities/skills to use that makes PvE soloing that much more easy/fun/gratifying.

With 103 days /played on my hunter, I would recommend rolling one, if you do decide to play.

I spend 99% of my time solo, some off the final encounters of a quest chain you have to leave until a higher level so they can be soloed, but quite often you will find someone else doing it that you can pair up with.

Just as a reminder to all those who may care at all (even a little!), I'm keeping up with my blog, for now I'm posting every tuesday. Hopefully I'll get some sort of reaction / visitor traffic and be inspired to post more frequently.

Again, I'd love any feedback/constructive criticism.

Link is in the signature box!

Edit: Does anyone know how to add the Wowhead tooltips to a html text editor?

DBLEDIT: figured it out.

Piece of **** to solo. More so with the changes to the LFG tool.

Easy to solo, I solo leveled by questing only on my deathknight and my shaman (as enhance) easily. Was a little harder in Icecrown on my Shaman, but I did every quest on my DK in Icecrown alone, except the one you need at least three for, to put the stuff in the cauldron.

Didn't get a key, I was chosen through the Beta opt-in, so it's already attached to my account - Sorry ( Also to the guy who PM'd me :p )

I was excited at first but the fact they botched it up completely and made us wait an entire month after receiving the Beta letter, they were really puzzled why we didn't have access yet never really told us what was going on and kept saying they are 'looking into it' - 4 weeks later, without them telling us, we suddenly have access. That really turns off the hype-o-meter when you are shrugged off like that.

Okay that was a bit of a rollercoaster, then there's the botched installer that ruined my entire installation because I started it in the yellow 'playable' state - It froze, I restarted the game and it was permanently broken. Second time around, after downloading 15GB of data at some seriously slow speeds, it's unplayable due to the fact there's so many Error 132 messages you wouldn't believe it. I know it's Beta, don't have a problem with that but I choose not to bother after all that ... You just get that "meh" feeling, think I will wait for the retail product.

Not desperate enough to try Cataclysm that I want to spoil the experience by Beta bugs :)

Although, I did catch a short glimpse of the new Ogrimmar and all I can say is: Whhoooooooooooowza! :drool:

New plate armour from Deepholm looks like a drastic contrast from the Wrath art style.

Now a few choice quotes from a mate who has been leveling his DK in cata:

Just did a full run through Blackrock Caverns and thought Id share some thoughts:

1. We did it without any CC. I asked for it, but none of the group would oblige. (Although to be fair, our mage only seemed to speak Russian)

2. The healer ran out of mana lots of times.

3. Whilst I can hold aggro on multiple mobs at the same time, its difficult and not ideal. Most of my focus was on staying alive, meaning that dps pulled aggro. Marking a primary and secondary target was absolutely mandatory to ensure dps survival.

4. Even at level 82 with 76k HP, mobs still hit REALLY hard.

5. PUGs will be able to do this place. The group I was in was a PUG, nobody would respond to anything I said and yet we managed to clear it.

6. The Blizzard UI is not good enough for tanking

7. AOE is dead. Forget about it. Single target all the way and put those interrupts back on your hotbar. No interrupt and the tank is dead. Simple as that.

So thats the easiest dungeon out of the way. I will let you know how the next one goes when I do it.

Tentatively looking forward to this expansion. I have a feeling the LFG tool will be dead next expansion though since most people I meet can't even wipe their own arse! Let alone CC and single target mobs. Still I'll welcome the difficulty. :)

They want some nublets to see how the new dynamics play out for someone that doesn't know much ie a new customer

!!!! OPERATION GNOMER AND THE TROLL PRE-CATA LAUNCH EVENT ARE LIVE !!!!

Helps if you tell people where the quests begin. ;)

Full story here. Long story short go to either:

- The Echo Isles. You want to talk to Vanira, who is right next to Voljin in the Sen'jin village in Durotar.

- You want to talk to High Tinker Mekkatorque, who is located in the Tinker Town district of Ironforge.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      By Copernic · Posted

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
