Farming for these for Loatheb has made me want to kill myself.

But, if you are looking to farm them, I've found the best place to be in Scarlet Monastery. I'm getting about 3 grave moss and some kingsblood and fadeleaf every time i reset the graveyard.

Another great place to farm Grave Moss is Razorfen Downs. There is roughly 4 nodes that spawn in Razorfen Downs. You might have a slight bit of difficulty reaching some the spawns if you are not a rogue though.

this aint rare at all. atleast not for me atm. i have 5 stacks of them, and i have only been spending 3 hours in Dusckwood at raven hill.

Comment by Joyd

As Raven Hill in Duskwood is generally more crowded than the Kodo Graveyard in Desolace, it can be somewhat easier to find them in the latter area, though it is somewhat more dangerous as the vultures there are of a considerably higher level than the undead in Raven Hill.

Lets hope they add more spawn points if becomes much use in inscription.

On my server nobody sells this, even if you threaten to kill kittens or sing "I Don't Know How To Love Him" in Trade.

Found a few spawn points in Blackthorn Ridge while doing the quest "Weapons of Choice"

IronBeard's tomb in wetlands, where all the oozes are is also a nice spot with 3-4 spawns at a time.

Comment by terylbrat42

Don't forget about the small graveyard in the north west Wetlands with all the slimes. There are usually a few grave moss in that area.

The skill required to gather Grave Moss has changed from 120 to 105.

There is one more spawn point in Hillsbrad Foothills, in the Ruins of Alterac (44,30).

Comment by Biffsterr

Maybe it's just that grave moss doesn't spawn all of the time but I didn't see it in the SM graveyard. In desolace, the kodo graveyard didn't have it and the valley of bones doesn't exist any longer. I used to find it in the cave in the hinterlands but not this time. It wasn't in the ruins of alterac. It wasn't in the cave in arathi.

Where I did find it was in Stromgarde (arathi) and Ironbeard's tomb (wetlands). And of course, Raven Hill (duskwood).

So, now I'm grave robbing...

Has anybody found a place where the grave moss will consistently spawn?

Comment by Huennin

In Alterac Mountains, at Ruins of Alterac (44, 30) there's a graveyard next to a church. Grave Moss is the only herb that spawns here. I camped this spot for a bit while doing other things around the house and found that the respawn rate for this Grave Moss node was about 6-8 minutes.

Comment by Stevenhyde

While farming this today, I went to Raven Hill, the cave in Hinterlands (with the spiders), Stromgarde (21,58), and the Alterac Ruins (44,30) location mentioned a few times previously. From what I can tell, the respawn rate at Alterac Ruins is around 5-8 minutes, consistently. All other locations respawned, but it didn't seem to have any dependable pattern. I got several of these from the ruins, but only one spawn from the other locations while I was out there. Hope this helps.

What is Grave Moss used for and where can you find it?

First off, why should you care about Grave Moss?
I don't know. You're here aren't you?

Gathered from:
-Grave Moss which is found in Duskwood (36), Razorfen Downs (9), Arathi Highlands (7), Wetlands (7), and Hillsbrad Foothills (3)
-Only found in graveyard-like places

Where in these zones?:
-Duskwood: At Raven Hill in the northwest and Tranquil Gardens Cemetery in the southeast
-Razorfen Downs: A couple different places in the dungeon
-Arathi Highlands: Northeast part of Stromgarde Keep
-Wetlands: Just south of Dun Modr at Ironbeard's Tomb
-Hillsbrad Foothills: Only 3 nodes right in the middle of Ruins of Alterac

Which zone is the best?:
-I have not tried all of them, but Raven Hill is working out pretty well for me. Usually no more than 2-4 nodes up at one time. The only problem is that the respawn time is pretty long so you usually will have to wait for ~5 minutes (I timed it. It is usually 5 minutes, but it can be as low as 3 or as high as 8) for new nodes to spawn. If you really wanted to, you can fly over to Tranquil Gardens Cemetery, but there is never more than 1 node up at a time there, and the nodes have about the same respawn time as Raven Hill. Not to mention you would be flying across Duskwood for only 1 node. I have been able to get around 60 Grave Moss in one day only gathering at Raven Hill. I have found that the best way to farm it is to farm all of the nodes at Raven Hill, go do something else for a bit, and then come back and some nodes should be back up.

So, what is it used for?

Milling:
-Golden Pigment (99%)
-Burnt Pigment (25%)

Reagent for:
-Shadow Oil (Alchemy 165; requires 2 Grave Moss and 1 Crystal Vial)
-Shadow Oil is a reagent for Dusky Leather Armor (Leatherworking 175), Guardian Armor (Leatherworking 175), Shadow Crescent Axe (Blacksmithing 200), Shadow Hood (Tailoring 170), Wicked Moonstone Ring (Jewelcrafting 125), and Greater Shadow Protection Potion (Alchemy 290)
-Shadow Protection Potion (Alchemy 135; requires 1 Grave Moss, 1Kingsblood, and 1Crystal Vial)
-Shadow Protection Potion is a reagent for Hands of Darkness (Tailoring 145)

What else?
-It looks cool, being a creepy themed herb (is it an herb?) with skulls and whatnot
-You will have almost no competition if you try to sell it on the Auction House (I have no clue who would buy it though)
-EDIT: Surprisingly when I tried to sell it on the Auction House it sold very well. As I said above, there was very little competition and I sold around 100x Grave Moss in just a couple of days. It just sucks to farm it though :(
-EDIT #2: Thanks for all of the upvotes! :)

Thanks for reading! Please upvote! :)

I recently had to do a mats run in the northern zones of Eastern Kingdoms and thought I would try some of the Grave Moss spawn points.

My First stop was Ruins of Alterac. I checked the graveyard in the center of town. There is about 12 gravestones there and ogre's around. After farming this a few times over here are my observations:
- This item seems to re spawn about every 5-10 minutes. The times seems to vary. It might increase if someone keeps farming it consecutively.
- It pops at only one grave (one node), for about 2-3 pieces of Grave Moss.

At this point I had gathered the number of herb I needed, but still visited other Grave Moss locations to see if they were still intact.

My Next Stop was Ironbeard's Tomb, Wetlands. Sure enough, there was a node right out front. I didn't stick around for re spawn times, but I verified there is still an herb node out here. Also, make sure you check down in the crypt. I found Grave Moss down in there.

My Third stop was the NE part of Stromgarde in Arathi Highlands (creepy graveyard near church). I found one node outside.

As far as I was able to tell from short visits, the wetlands location may be the best location due to more than one node.

RFD and the two graveyards in Duskwood are the best places I tried.

Scarlet Monastery - none. Doesn't spawn there any more.

I did RFD on my druid herbalist and wished I had a rogue herbalist because of the locked chests, but other than that, doesn't take too long and at least 3 nodes per run, sometimes 5. (goldthorn can pop instead of grave moss.)
