Question regarding gathering and spawn rates.
I am just curious what the spawn rates of Herb and Ore nodes are.
My character currently has both mining and herbalism. From what I have noticed it seems Herbs have a very high spawn rate, I will find 5-7 nodes all in one location, will fight a couple mobs and in less then 3-4 mins the herbs have reappeared. However copper nodes are few and far between and they take much longer to spawn. Hell simply flying over a zone while searching for Herbs will show dozens of herbs, fly over a zone while searching for ore and perhaps you will see 1 or 2.
Why is herbalism so heavily favoured? I have barely gotten to lvl 60 mining while herbalism I have gotten over 150 in no time. I found 8 Bruiseweed all in one spot while searching Loch Modan.
Is this a feature of WOTLK or has this server been set to spawn herbs like crazy?
