Turn these in to Olly Nimkip to start a Garden work order.

Completing this work order on Beta (Build 6.0.1) I received:

10x Chameleon Lotus
15x Talador Orchid
12x Nagrand Arrowbloom
13x Frostweed
14x Fireweed
17x Gorgrond Flytrap
20x Starflower

Is there a way to get herbs from this garden without having the scale, such as the way you can loot mine carts with the mining garrison?

Comment by lpajwinner

You can get these by harvesting the plants in your herbal garden located at your garrison, you don't need herbalism to harvest the flowers.

Im level 676 and still have not found a Draenic Seed. Am I doing something wrong?

Comment by Schnoodledorfer

To get these, you need to have completed Clearing the Garden (H) or Clearing the Garden (A), which unlocks the herb garden, but requires level 96. (Herbalists can't accumulate them before hand.) Each herbalism work order consumes five Draenic Seeds.

Once your herb garden is unlocked, you get them by farming herb nodes in Draenor. Characters without Herbalism can only farm the nodes inside their herb garden. For those with high level Herbalism, whether the node is inside or outside the garden doesn't seem to matter. I don't know if characters with low level Herbalism get as many Draenic Seeds per node when farming outside the garden or not. They will be more likely to farm inferior herbs, e.g., Broken Frostweed Stem rather than Frostweed, though.

Added: I agree with the responses. I was frustrated because I wasn't getting any Draenic Seeds, even though Nali Softsoil acted as if I could turn them in to her before the herb garden was unlocked. I assume that Olly Nimkip does the same.

I can put Draenic Stone in my Mammoth Mining Bag, but I can't put Draenic Seeds in Hyjal Expedition Bag. Does it need to work like that?

Comment by yufie

Still a little confused as to why the drop rate on these isn't higher...I get between 30-40 stones from the mine between nodes, rich nodes, and carts, and only about 20 of the seeds a day (if im lucky). Yesterday wasn't even enough for 4 work orders :(

Edit: Talking about level 2 of each

Comment by rgoknot

So this might not be the best place, but it's a start. I don't have herbalism or gathering as a prof and i don't want it. Yet the Herb garden seems to be a fixed building. If it would produce enough seeds on its own to keep the work orders flowing, it might be ok, but it does not. The garden either needs to produce sufficient enough sends like the mine does stone, or we need to be able to exchange that building for something else. I can't buy the seeds on the open market like dust if I need it for my trading post orders, so it's an inefficient enterprise.

SO I guess Merchant Greenfield was prohibited from doing trade in Draenor, because of his low quality, contaminated seeds. I think the only reason he is still allowed to do business in halfhill is because he is a panda and related to someone on the farmers council. Probably somebodys, wife's, neer-do-well brother!

At any rate, these plots are vermin free and the seeds aren't contaminated with vine and weed seeds.

With 15 level 90s (or higher) the plants come in handy on my 2 alchemists and 2 scribes. (it basically doubles the number of Items I can make, in a 1 week *or so* period.) 100k for a staff times 2 isn't something to scoff at! Plus it supplies me with all the potions I need and ink for glyphs. To be honest, picking herbs off even 5 farms will get me more than I could by actually picking them in the wild. Herbs seem to be very widely spaced in Draenor, not like other zones where you could just follow a nice route and gather all you wanted.

When you assign a follower to the Garden at your Architect Table, and then speak to Olly Nimkip/Nali Softsoil to start work orders, it says "Follower bonus active!" in green in the lower left of the window. So assigning a follower appears to boost work order output here, as it does with the crafting buildings, even though that's not documented anywhere. However I cannot confirm the effect because for the moment I'm saving up my seeds.

Comment by Crook1d

There seems to be a good amount of comments explaining the details regarding these seeds.

As a non herbalist, the amount you loot per day is underwhelming to say the least. Nevertheless, looting 500 is required for the achievement Draenic Seed Collector. Once you loot 500 and the achievement is unlocked, you can purchase the level 3 blueprints from the blueprint vendor at your garrison. Note: you only have to loot this amount, not start or complete work orders so it is possible to do this quicker than a non herbalist if you are one.

This allows you to upgrade to a level 3 Herb Garden.

Comment by Amadorme

Is there anything else that we can buy with seeds besides doing work orders? I thought I seen somewhere that you could buy something for seeds?
