Picked a Frostweed node today in SMV and a disturbed podling spawned. After I killed it, I was able to gather herbs from its corpse. I like this change a lot. It was nice for archaeology and I'm glad to see it with herbalism :)

Somehow related to the mage ability 'cone of cold'...

Frostweed is needed for alchemy work orders. If you are an alchemist/scribe, save the frostweed for your alchemy work orders, and mill other herbs for the pigment needed for inscription work orders.

Somehow a totally different thing from WotLK's Icethorn, despite having a nearly-identical icon.

My Herbalist is also my Scribe so starting out my Alchemist is only getting the Frostweed which grows in my Herb Garden. I am not getting enough to keep my work orders full so Until I start farming herbs, I settle for whatever I can do with the limited numbers. The AH prices are insane so I will probably start my herbalist very soon.

From personal experience on my gathering druid this herb is somewhat sparse throughout Frostfire and Shadowmoon, and unless you know where to look it can take a long time to get enough just for one alchemist. You also cannot allow yourself to grow frostweed in the garden, because that conflicts with trading post work orders (It's been a couple weeks now and I have never seen frostweed in demand for trading post work orders, so the garden is better off on orchids, arrowbloom, or flytraps). The best area to find frostweed, with some starflower mixed in, is starting in the north western part of Shadowmoon from the very first beach, south through the cursed forest and across the path to Talador, and further south through Veloss' spawn and all that rough terrain till you hit bloodthorn hill then loop back around to the edge of garrison and the beach again.

I just looted x10 Frostweed from Disturbed Podling located inside a cave in The Nightmarsh.
