  Craft Chilled Rune Scribes know it from Dragon Isles Inscription 1 and make it with the Virtuoso Inking Set: five Rousing Frost and one Serene Ink, the ink made from Bubble Poppy's pigment. From 5 × Rousing Frost, 1 × Serene Ink (Inscription).

  The Inscription guide makes one at 15–20 and lists 128: 80 for Vantus Runes at 60–85, 20 for the Crackling Codexes and the rest for Runed Writhebark, runes and missives. It suggests buying crafted reagents like this once they stop giving skill, as higher-level scribes sell them below the cost of materials. Easy to buy, too.

  35 × Rousing Air

  Farm Unleashed Storms, Ohn'ahran Plains The best source, but they are only there while the Wind Breaker world quest is up. Pull the storms only: the small neutral mobs around them drop nothing.

  Farm Restless Winds and Restless Gales, The Azure Span Air elementals that are there at any time; round them up and AoE them down.

  Windswept herbs and Primal ore deposits also give a few to gatherers. Ten turn into one Awakened Air from the bags. Inscription needs 35, for seven Runed Writhebark; Alchemy and Jewelcrafting need 2 each. Easy to buy, too.

  3 × Awakened Frost

  Craft Rousing Frost from the Calving Elementals by Camp Antonidas, The Azure Span Ten Rousing Frost turn into one Awakened Frost from the bags, no profession needed, so farm the Rousing: the Calving Elementals around the icy lake hyperspawn, so pull everything and keep AoEing. From 10 × Rousing Frost (no profession).

  Craft Rousing Frost from the Tormented Steam, The Waking Shore The other hyperspawning Rousing Frost spot; the Provoking Flames fighting them there give Rousing Fire, which the same recipes often want. From 10 × Rousing Frost (no profession).

  1 × Contoured Fowlfeather

  Farm Ducks by rivers and ponds, Dragon Isles Ducks living along the rivers and ponds of the Dragon Isles drop it; the guide needs only one, so kill ducks at the first water you pass until it drops.

  The Inscription guide uses it once, for the Scribe's Fastened Quill at 32–39. No source names the best pond. Easy to buy, too.

  12 × Blazing Ink

  Craft Blazing Ink Scribes know it from Dragon Isles Inscription 1, and each craft makes two. Mill Saxifrage for the Blazing Pigment and Hochenblume for the Shimmering Pigment; Gohfyrr in Valdrakken sells the water and vials. From 1 × Iridescent Water, 1 × Draconic Vial, 1 × Blazing Pigment, 2 × Shimmering Pigment (Inscription).

  The Inscription guide makes twelve at 15–20 and lists 12 more on top; it uses them for Burnished Ink, a Chef's Smooth Rolling Pin and the Fireflash missives. Easy to buy, too.

  180 × Burnished Ink

  The Inscription guide lists 180 more, all for 80 Vantus Runes at 60–85, and suggests buying them rather than making them, as higher-level scribes sell crafted reagents below the cost of materials. The two-of-each amounts come from the guide's 20–32 step. Easy to buy, too.

  44 × Cosmic Ink

  Craft Cosmic Ink Scribes build it from their other crafts, Burnished Ink, Serene Ink and Runed Writhebark, plus an Awakened Frost and an Iridescent Water from Gohfyrr in Valdrakken.

  25 × Awakened Air

  Craft Rousing Air from the Unleashed Storms, Ohn'ahran Plains Ten Rousing Air turn into one Awakened Air from the bags, no profession needed. The storms are the best Rousing Air source but only appear while the Wind Breaker world quest is up; skip the small neutral mobs, which drop nothing. From 10 × Rousing Air (no profession).

• 
  25 × Runed Writhebark

  Craft Runed Writhebark Scribes fasten a Chilled Rune to unmilled Writhebark with Flourishing Ink and Rousing Air; the guide makes seven at 20–32, which is why it says to keep 35 Writhebark back from milling. From 5 × Rousing Air, 5 × Writhebark, 1 × Flourishing Ink, 1 × Chilled Rune (Inscription).

  The amounts are from the guide's 20–32 step; Wowpedia lists one Awakened Air instead of the Rousing Air, so check the recipe in game. The guide lists 25, for the five Crackling Codexes at 85–100, and links two quality ranks (194862 and 194864); any rank will do. Easy to buy, too.

• 
  450 × Mycobloom

  Gather Herbalism loops, Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps, Azj-Kahet or Hallowfall Herbalism. The commonest herb in Khaz Algar, growing in almost any terrain, so any of the herbalism guide's loops through the four zones fills bags fast; the guide's author ran the long loop round the edge of the Isle of Dorn most.

  Needs Herbalism; a Phial of Truesight shows the camouflaged nodes, about a fifth more, and Lush nodes give extra herbs. That it grows almost anywhere is from the Herbalism specialization's own description of it; the guide does not rank the zones. Any quality rank will do. Alchemy needs 86, 60 of them for Algari Healing Potions, and Inscription mills 450. Easy to buy, too.

  250 × Luredrop

  Gather Herbalism loops through the cavern zones, The Ringing Deeps, Azj-Kahet or Hallowfall Herbalism. The Herbalism specialization describes it as a carnivorous plant of Khaz Algar's underground spaces, so favour the herbalism guide's loops through the cavern zones over the open Isle of Dorn.

  Needs Herbalism; a Phial of Truesight shows camouflaged nodes too. Which zones count as its underground spaces is our reading of that description: no source counts nodes per zone. Any quality rank will do. Inscription mills 250 for Luredrop Pigment and Apricate Ink; Alchemy takes 20 of it or of Orbinid. Easy to buy, too.

  100 × Arathor's Spear

  Gather Herbalism loops in the open, lit zones, Isle of Dorn or Hallowfall Herbalism. The Herbalism specialization says it grows in Khaz Algar's bright, outdoor places, so work the guide's three loops on the Isle of Dorn or its loop through Hallowfall.

  Needs Herbalism; a Phial of Truesight shows camouflaged nodes too. That the Isle of Dorn and Hallowfall are those bright places is our reading of that description: no source counts nodes per zone. Any quality rank will do. Inscription needs 100 for 20 Boundless Ciphers, and 8 more if you make your own Lightweight Scribe's Quill; Alchemy needs 11. Easy to buy, too.

  20 × Orbinid

  Gather Herbalism loops through the cavern zones, The Ringing Deeps, Azj-Kahet or Hallowfall Herbalism. The Herbalism specialization calls it the uncommon alien herb of Khaz Algar's caverns, so expect it on the herbalism guide's loops underground rather than on the Isle of Dorn.

  Needs Herbalism; a Phial of Truesight shows camouflaged nodes too. Which zones count as its caverns is our reading of the Orbinid Observer description: no source counts nodes per zone. Any quality rank will do. Alchemy takes 20 of it or of Luredrop, and Inscription mills 20. Easy to buy, too.

  20 × Blessing Blossom

  Gather Herbalism loops, Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps, Azj-Kahet or Hallowfall Herbalism. None of our sources says which zone has the most, so take the herbalism guide's loops, which cover all four Khaz Algar zones; herbs are scattered all over them.

  Needs Herbalism; a Phial of Truesight shows camouflaged nodes too, and Lush nodes give extra. Any quality rank will do. Alchemy needs 25, 20 of them for Wild Experimentation, and Inscription mills 20. Easy to buy, too.

  22 × Viridescent Spores

  Gather Sporefused herbs, Khaz Algar Sporefused is one of the empowered herb types that stand in for ordinary Khaz Algar herbs at random, so there is no set place: loop any of the four zones and pick every Sporefused herb you pass.

  Needs Herbalism; miners do not get it. A Phial of Truesight shows the camouflaged nodes as well, about a fifth more to pick. Enchanting needs 22, one for each Gleeful Glamour; Inscription 22, for four Algari Missives and one Vantus Rune. Easy to buy, too.

  360 × Tranquility Bloom

  Gather Herb loops, Harandar Herbalism. Every Midnight herb grows in every zone, and Harandar has the most herb nodes of them all; many sit on top of the giant mushrooms, so fly the zone rather than following a strict route.

  Gather Along the rivers, Eversong Woods Herbalism. Herbs crowd the riverbanks, and Rich Soil turns up there for planting seeds for still more; the easiest zone to fly, with one loop round its edge.

  Needs Herbalism. The starter Midnight herb: it stops giving Herbalism skill at 30. Any quality rank will do; the guides say quality does not matter. Inscription mills 360 at 1–20; Alchemy wants 300 for potions to 50, and 640 more for the Light's Potential route to 100; Leatherworking 10. Easy to buy, too.

  100 × Argentleaf

  Gather Herb loops, Harandar Herbalism. Like all the Midnight herbs it grows in every zone, and Harandar has the most nodes; fly from mushroom top to mushroom top, since many herbs sit up there.

  Gather Along the rivers, Eversong Woods Herbalism. Herb nodes gather along the rivers, with the odd Rich Soil for planting seeds; an easy zone to loop.

  Needs Herbalism. Any quality rank will do; the guides say quality does not matter. Inscription mills 100 at 1–20 for Sienna Ink; Alchemy wants 4, for one Composite Flora, but 240 more for the Light's Potential route to 100. Easy to buy, too.

  90 × Mana Lily

  Gather Herb loops, Harandar Herbalism. No Midnight herb is tied to a zone, so pick the one with the most nodes, Harandar, and fly it freely; plenty of the herbs grow on top of the giant mushrooms.

  Gather Along the rivers, Eversong Woods Herbalism. The riverbanks hold most of the zone's herbs, and Rich Soil for planting seeds turns up beside them; the gentlest zone to fly.

  Needs Herbalism. Any quality rank will do; the guides say quality does not matter. Inscription mills 90 at 1–20, for both its inks; Alchemy wants 3, for one Lightfused Mana Potion, and 270 more if you level 50–100 with Flasks of the Magisters. Easy to buy, too.

  90 × Sanguithorn

  Gather Herb loops, Harandar Herbalism. None of the five Midnight herbs keeps to one zone, so go where the nodes are thickest: Harandar, flying between the herbs on the ground and those perched on the giant mushrooms.

  Gather Along the rivers, Eversong Woods Herbalism. Follow the rivers, where the herb nodes cluster and Rich Soil turns up for planting seeds; the zone is the easiest of the four to fly.

  Needs Herbalism. Any quality rank will do; the guides say quality does not matter. Inscription mills 90 at 1–20 for Munsell Ink; Alchemy wants 15, for the five Refreshing Serums that go into a Primal Philosopher's Stone, and hundreds more if you level 50–100 with flasks. Easy to buy, too.

  65 × Azeroot

  Gather Herb nodes all over the zone, Harandar Herbalism. Every Midnight herb grows in every Midnight zone, and Method rates Harandar the richest in herbs; many sit on top of the giant mushrooms and roots, so expect to fly up and down a lot.

  Gather A loop around the whole zone, Eversong Woods Herbalism. The easiest zone to fly: wow-professions' route circles the zone with a short cut through the middle on each side, and Method adds that many herbs grow along the rivers.

  Needs Herbalism. The Inscription guide wants 65, all for first crafts at 30–42: the baton, crutch and lamp, Codified Azeroot, Faunatender's Trust and the hobbyist tools. Easy to buy, too.

  1 × Dusk-Shrouded Stone

  Salvage Prospecting Midnight ore, Voidstorm, Zul'Aman, Eversong Woods or Harandar Jewelcrafting. Every prospect of five Midnight ore gives it, whichever ore, alongside Crystalline Glass; so prospect the cheapest, Refulgent Copper, mined in any zone, Voidstorm having the most deposits.

  Prospecting needs Jewelcrafting; anyone else should buy it. Method adds that crushing a single uncut gem also gives one. Wowhead spells it Dusk-Shrouded Stone; the guides write Duskshrouded. Jewelcrafting wants 7, Blacksmithing and Inscription 1 each (Inscription's goes into a Soul Cipher). Easy to buy, too.

  4 × Mote of Primal Energy

  Gather Primal herbs, Harandar Herbalism. Primal nodes, which always give these motes, are found almost only in Harandar, and Harandar is the richest herb zone of all, so fly it picking every glowing Primal herb.

  Gather Primal ore deposits, Harandar Mining. Primal deposits give the same motes, but Harandar is thin on ore; follow its outer edge, or better still gather herbs there as well.

  Needs Herbalism or Mining. A plain Primal gather gives the motes and a slowing damage-over-time; Overloading one (the Overload ability, learned from your first infused node) costs half your health in a channel for extra motes. Alchemy wants 4, for one Composite Flora; Inscription 4, for Codified Azeroot and three Thalassian Missives; Engineering 1. Easy to buy, too.

  4 × Mote of Pure Void

  Gather Voidbound herbs and ore deposits, Voidstorm Herbalism or Mining. Voidbound nodes, which give these motes, are concentrated in Voidstorm, the zone Method found richest in ore; a loop around the edge of the map passes plenty. Overloading a Voidbound node opens a portal with orbs that each give more motes and ore.

  Gather Void Diffuser on any skinnable beast, Any Midnight zone Skinning. A skinner with diffusers unlocked turns two motes into a Void Diffuser, throws it at a beast and gets one to four motes back from the skinned corpse.

  Voidstorm opens only after most of the Midnight campaign. A few Voidbound nodes also turn up in Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman. The Inscription guide wants 4 (a Soul Cipher and three Missives), Engineering and Leatherworking 1 each. Easy to buy, too.

  1 × Mote of Light

  Gather Lightfused herbs and ore deposits, Eversong Woods Herbalism or Mining. Lightfused nodes, glowing and marked on the minimap, nearly all grow in Eversong Woods and always give motes; gathering one scatters light orbs to catch for more. Loop the rivers for herbs or the zone's edge for ore.

  Needs Herbalism or Mining; both together double the Lightfused nodes. Overloading a Lightfused node (the Overload ability, learned from your first infused node) throws up far more orbs. A few Lightfused nodes grow in parts of Harandar too. Alchemy wants 12, 10 of them for one Transmute: Mote of Wild Magic, and 80 more for the Light's Potential route to 100; Enchanting 6, Leatherworking 4, Engineering and Inscription 1 each. Easy to buy, too.

  7 × Mote of Wild Magic

  Gather Wild infused herbs and ore deposits, Zul'Aman Herbalism or Mining. Zul'Aman is where the glowing Wild nodes grow, and each one gives motes; the herbs also call up lashers and the ore Rumbling Orelings, which you kill and gather from for more. Method found the most ore along the zone's southern coast.

  Gather Wild Diffuser on any skinnable beast, Any Midnight zone Skinning. Skinners who have unlocked diffusers make one from two motes, throw it at a beast and skin it after the kill for one to four motes back, with no cooldown.

  A gatherer's material: no one else gets it in quantity, though the Rumbling Orelings drop it now and then. The Inscription guide wants 7, one for the Codified Azeroot and six for Treatises; the Engineering guide 1. Easy to buy, too.
