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.

    • I never knew Windows had a "hidden" collection of tools

      By jordanspringer · Posted

      I cannot believe this is a news post from Neowin. This should be embarassing, coming from a "senior editor". Is it your first day using Windows?! Maybe it's time to find a new Windows news site.
    • Module Blocked - Is this Okay?

      By SuperDuckGuy · Posted

      It's from having Core Isolation enabled in Windows security settings, which is a good thing!  It's letting you know it's not loading the Bonjour module as it's not signed in a way it would prefer. Bonjour was most likely installed along with iTunes. Feel free to disable that message using the checkbox.

      I'm looking forward to starting over online. I have no reason to keep all the money, cars, rank after 13 years. Now if I can just move my character itself and nothing else. I would be fine with that. But I doubt they would do a setup that way.
