The Swiftthistle that can be gathered from Briarthorn is much more valuable because it is used in Swiftness potions, which can go for very high prices at the AH.

Kommentar von 2869

Swiftthistle is also used for Thistle Tea (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7676) that can only be used by rogues.

Kommentar von Wong

From my experience, Briarthorn is only located at the base of trees...

I found that a good, concentrated area to farm these is in southern Silverpine forest. (Around cords 60, 78) Easy farming for alliance because all the mobs there are friendly to us, not too hard for horde to as long as your lvl 22+. The real reason that people farm these is because they drop Swiftthistle which is an ingredient for thistle tea, an item most rogues will always have with them because of how useful it is in pvp and any other instance were you need a quick energy boost. Also both herbs that drop from Briarthorn (Briarthorn and Swiftthistle) are used in the creation of swiftness potions which sell for up to 5g on my server (Azuremyst) on WSG weekend. I've also found Briarthorn in Duskwood, Westfall, The Barrens, Stonetalon Mountains, and on rare occasions Bloodymyst Isle and The Ghostlands.

Edit: Added info on swiftness potions and additional area's to find it.

Swiftthistle comes from both Briarthorn and Mageroyal. And only these two herbs.

Kommentar von Felet

I can really recomend farming Briarthorn in Silverpine Forest becuase of two reasons:
Many spawn points (43)
Few people go there, so the competion is scarce.

In less then 30 min I found roughly 20 Briarthorn, 10 Bruiseweed and a few Silverleaf/Peacebloom.

I personally recommend Silverpine for Horde herbalists, who want to farm Briarthorn, especially low level ones. Since you can get your mount at level 30 these days, Briarthorn is an excellent way to farm that 40g you need - On most realms it is sold for 5g a stack, and I've seen it sell for 20g a stack.

Why Silverpine over Barrens? Silverpine is smaller than The Barrens, and less crowded. In my experience; The Barrens might seem tempting with the 130 spawn nodes, but you'll get good results with less running in Silverpine. Southern Silverpine also provides Mageroyal, Peacebloom and Bruiseweed, and go Northern Silverpine for Silverleaf, which you will also find lots.

The Briarthorn doesn't appear as often as it says it does on the maps, only some show up on the map a few at a time so don't expect to be able to go farm fourty Briarthorn all at once, although if you make a few trips around the perimeter, where most of them are, you can get quite a few since they will start popping up in different places.

Briarthorn is pretty much the second version of Silverleaf. It grows beside trees and large bushes like Silverleaf. Hope this helps.

Kommentar von Remonari

For Alliance I found that Westfall was a good place to farm this. In one pass I collected 18 in less than 20 mins.

Kommentar von 504822

This freaking SUCKS, when I needed Mageroyal I found Briarthorn all the time, now it's the other way around. >.>

Kommentar von Stigmata

If you are farming these at max level, I recommend going through razorfen kraul. There's lots in there, very easy to get, and very easy to farm. Surprised noone's mentioned it thus far.

Kommentar von 511147

Silverpine is a great place to find Briarthorn but I also recomend Razorfen Kraul. Both are good places to farm the herb. I personally can't say that one is better than the other so which one to go to is for one self to decide :D

Confirmed Silverpine Forrest is a great place to farm this herb. Here is the strategy I recommend.

1. Only farm south of the river as there are none north of the river.
2. Install the addon 'gatherer' and make sure you download the database.
3. Start near the river and pick one side of the map (either right or left of the road)
4. Whatever side you pick head south and stay on that side of the road.
5. When you get to the bottom stay close to the mountains and once you get to the border of Hillsbrad start heading north.
6. As you travel north stay on the opposite side of the road from the side you where on when you travelled south.
7. Pick up every herb you see. When you pick up 1 herb another will spawn somewhere else and you can sell the herbs you do not need or mill them for profit. (assuming you have inscription)
8. Once you get to the top at the river change sides again and repeat.

I would like to add that if you wait 5 minutes between each trip all the herbs will have spawned again. Hope this helps.

As for the debate between silverpine and barrens (for horde), I'd like to add another few reasons to go silverpine:

Silverpine is a horde territory, Barrens is not, and for whatever reason... there seems to be an affinity among alliance for raiding XR.

Also, the nodes within silverpine are closer (enough that I would be tempted as alliance for a short dalliance- especially at off times), and every time you herb something... another spawns, so closer is better than more spread out.

Finally, if your leveling herbs at level, barrens is a large place with a wide range of levels. Some nodes may not be safe for your health...or worth the time to actively farm. of course... if your questing....this all goes out the window, dun it?

Edit: if your farming silverpine with bruiseweed as a focus...there's only a handful of nodes, but if your after swiftness pots (Which is like wowcrank...) have at.

Kommentar von cirbafe

Best place: Silverpine Forest

Kommentar von 435833

Found myself buying these for over 100g / stack on Frostmane - EU, (A)
Then found myself in an outrage over where all my gold went.
The second later i found myself on my alt running through duskwood for briarthorns.

16 minutes later i found myself with 24 briarthorns and an abundance of bruiseweed, wild steelbloom, mageroyal, kingsblood and bruiseweeds.

VERY high farm for a very small effort. i strongly recommend it.

Kommentar von 111468

Just farmed some Briarthorn/Mageroyal, started in Silverpine, cleared the entire zone then went on to Hillsbrad.
I can safely say the best place to farm Briarthorn now is Hillsbrad Foothills, nodes aren't too spread out and respawn rather fast (you can just keep circling the zone when noone else's around).

Kommentar von selkie47

Best place I found for mageroyal and briarthorn so far has been hillsbrad. Silverpine has a mix of those two and earthroot

Kommentar von alvasalrey

hillsbrad is mageroyal and briarthorn heaven the stuff makes ur minimap look as if it had the pox yellow spots all over one round , around the ruins of alterac nets me :
44 briarthorn
38 mageroyal
8 bruiseweed

used 280% mount with 0 competition ( at least no alliance on the zone idk bout lowbie hordies there atm i did this)

Kommentar von 862998

I have Ally and Horde toons, always came to Hillsbrad for skinning and cooking...took herbology on my level 26 Human Disc Priest and braved this spot for Briarthorn and Mageroyal. Piece of cake, no trouble from Hordies (although a lovely level 85 stopped to wave to me at one point), and I got all that I'd ever need in less than an hour. Easily 40+ Swiftthistle too, though have yet to find a use for it.

Also, Ruins of Alterac is a great place for farming the Frozen Herb, as when Mageroyal and Briar have gone yellow or green, FH will still guarantee an experience point and give you one or the other.

Kommentar von subby

I found an awful lot of Briarthorn behind durnhold keep in hillsbrad, it respawned fast and there was tons of it, always by the trees, mage royal in abundance here also.

Kommentar von no0ob

i would recommend Hillsbrad Foothills for Briarthorn, few players in old maps, hence you can farm it more quickly more efficiently.

In like 40 mins i was able to farm a lil over 100 Briarthorns, 25 Mageroyals (i didnt take more, but there we're plenty nodes still) and around 27 Bruiseweeds.

Kommentar von 963491

Hillsbrad Foothills is, in my experience a good spot to get your herbalism up from 50, loads of Mageroyal and Briarthorn :) Collected a couple of stacks of them in just an hour.

Kommentar von 972705

I use the following two addons together Carbonite and Gathermate2 they work like a charm with Carbonite you can select your first node to harvest on the map the left click the map then under route select current gather locations and it draws you a little map to follow and if the node is there great if not on to the next one. I hope this helps.

Kommentar von 298390

As of right now (post-5.1, albeit it might have happened earlier), this only requires you to have LEVEL 1 HERBALISM, which means you can gather them right off the bat!

As of 6.2

I jumped on my herbalist and decided to time different zones and different routes in order to get the most amount of herbs. Keep in mind I am a HORDE DRUID, and flight/aquatic form helps out drastically with picking herbs. There are other items you can obtain through herbalism, however I'll be just stating the main herbs.

Each zone was timed for 10 minutes.

For all of those who posted to farm up Briarthorn in Hillsbrad Foothills, you are correct and are well thanked. I'd like to post my thoughts on this as well to maybe help out others:

1-Make sure you have herb tracking turned on. Don't be like me and go about 20 minutes and never get an herb until you figure it out.

2-Briarthorn is found always and only at the base of a tree. Useful information for planning routes.

3-If you are not a druid, get on your Sky Golem, because everybody has a Sky Golem now, right? And, be cause you do not dismount when picking herbs. Huge time saver.

4-If you are strictly farming up Briarthorn, avoid the frozen herbs. They randomly produce any of the herbs for this zone, so around a 30% for Briarthorn. If you are skilling up or just want any herbs, by all means hit the frozen herbs.

5-Put on some really great music! Soon you will forget about time and wonder how 100 Briarthorn ended up in your bag.

Also, I have not found any item or spell that speeds up herb gathering in this zone....wouldn't that be nice. If you know of something, let us know. Hope this helps some of you out. Peace.

This is pretty sad but after several sessions, I am having my best luck standing at a node and waiting for respawn than running around farming this.

Kommentar von sunsmoon

With 9.0.1, Silverpine and Hillsbrad have become wildly popular leveling areas both inside and outside of Chromie Time. I'm having much better luck farming Briarthorn (and by proxy, Swiftthistle) in Northern Barrens. 20 minutes results in 92 Briarthorn, 38 mageroyal, and 32 Swiftthistle. I ran this outside of Chromie Time, in non-war mode, with 280 flying on a Sky Golem (goblin mage, no herbalism speed increases).

I focused on going from oasis to oasis, stopping by the raptor grounds between the Stagnant Oasis and Wailing Caverns, hitting the nodes between Wailing Caverns and the Forgotten Pools, and checking out the spots around the briarthorn mountains northeast of Crossroads and the nodes around Ratchet. This was around a 10 minute loop, which was plenty of time for things to respawn. The three oasis/pools have pretty heavy concentrations of Briarthorn (3-6 nodes each), so they're the main focus.
