Does anyone know if there is a weekly cap on these? I was getting them every now and then, and now im not getting any,

Comment by EternalWulf

Facts you should know::

You can only get one Dreambloom per character per week. Resets with the normal weekly reset.
You can only get a certain amount of Dreambloom Petal, and the remaining number you can still get for the week can be seen in the profession window when selecting this entry, it will show as the last line of text on the right. Resets with the normal weekly reset.
All nodes can drop Dreambloom Petal, including elemental nodes and Titan-touched nodes.
There appears to be no weekly limit on Infused Pollen, though it has a significantly smaller drop chance and likely only drops from elemental nodes (which may or may not include Titan-Touched and Infuriated nodes).

infused pollen and the one from mining has weekly limit..level a toon from 60-70 herbing/mining without getting these 2 lol

Comment by sybek1

in the first weeks, I met pollen about once every 100 herbs, but now, having leveled up a new character, I collected more than 500, and never met pollen

Comment by Athena84

I got 2 of these today so I think it's all RNG.

Comment by jason999

Does not seem to be a weekly cap on these.
I got 3 already since Wednesday (EU reset day).
Now it's Friday.But I herb about 3-4 hours per day and only in the Waking Shores.
No outside buffs just from the herbalism knowledge tree. Perception 24%.
I got one from 2 elemental herbs and one was a normal herb, all 3 are different from eachother.
I just recap all the things I have noticed so far and i don't know if they matter yet.
Will update the post as I notice more things.

You can get these from regular Hochenblume. just got one and ss'ed it for proof

Comment by Ashbone

Has anyone been able to loot any of these since Patch 10.1.7 went live? I've been Herbing for over 25 hours now and still have not gotten a single one of these! I'm not quite sure how much longer I will be trying as I am really expecting something to be wrong with it for the moment.
EDIT: Crafted the R5 tools, enchanted it & used a Phial of Perception (30% Perception) & managed to get it within the next 30 minutes! This 100% doesn't drop without a certain perception %

Comment by Brogash

Can someone just confirm you can get this even after reaching your cap on dreambloom petal and dreambloom?

Edit: I can confirm it myself it does drop after you have collected all of them. This is probably some freaky coincidence but anyway i farmed for a coupple of hours after having collected the weekly dreambloom and petals then i took a break, played some other chars then i remembered i didnt do the weekly herbalism quest in valdrakken so i went and did that and thought i try farm some more and the very first hochenblum dropped the pollen. Im probably completly paranoid but my first thought was that it was because i hadnt even collected ALL my weekly knowledge points yet (forgot about weekly herbalism quest) so it wouldnt drop for me. Either that or it was a very VERY weird coincidence i mean what are the odds

Help for Botanist's Log: Dragon Isles meta acheivement --

Infused Pollen
This achievement being added in 10.1.7 didn't record data of having used Infused Pollen in the past, so players who are maxed specialization are now forced to seek one out. Unfortunately, it seems as if the likelihood of finding one decreases as you advance your specialization - making it extremely difficult to find one for maxed players. Players have reported success having an alt pick herbs in the Isles. WowHead data for most herbs report the pollen's drop chance at 0.2% - but that's with max specialization players collecting data as well, so the drop chance may be higher for new alts (likely 1%). New players to herbalism or players seeking to get old achievements will not have issues with this.

Dreambloom
This is the "capstone" specialization reward for your weekly specialization points. This is gathered after collecting the maximum number of Dreambloom Petal allowed - which is all documented in your Herbalism Journal.

Elemental Herbs
Again, you can check your Herbalism Journal to learn more details on each of these individually, but in short:

Lambent herbs, such as Lambent Writhebark, can only be found in the Zaralek Cavern.
Injurious herbs, such as Infurious Hochenblume, can only be found in war mode.
Frigid herbs, such as Frigid Writhebark, can be mostly found in cold environments but may spawn rarely anywhere.
Decayed herbs, such as Decayed Writhebark, can be found in the decayed area of The Azure Span.
Titan-Touched herbs, such as Titan-Touched Writhebark, are most commonly found in Thaldraszus, but have other locations as well, these are rarer.

All other elemental herbs (Molten, Windy, etc.) are spread throughout the dragon isles but you should find them somewhat-commonly in the Waking Shores.

Other Useful Knowledge

Writhebark is most commonly found "in wooded areas" such as The Azure Span and The Ohn'ahran Plains. Lambent variants can be found in the Zaralek Caverns.
You can buy seeds such as Decayed Roused Seedling from the auction house, and (if you have unlocked the ability to grow seeds) these can be useful for finding more herbs.
Remember that a decayed herb's poison can be negated by jumping, and a firey herb's flame can be doused by jumping in the water.

Overloading
A key herbalist ability: Overload Elemental Herb can be used to "overload" elemental variants of herbs. Check your spell book for this ability. While it has a long cooldown - this cooldown is dramatically reduced by picking additional herbs.

Comment by Miniegun

Looted one today from a Frigid Hochenblume (just normal - not the empowered one) in Ohn'naran Plains.

Comment by Pwnboi

Max skill and probably around 250 knowledge into my main herb char, 28% perception and about 5 hrs of herbing, never seen one of these. Tried to go on an alternate char, got one to drop as I hit 71 skill point. Surely theres some kind of catchup stuff for this for new chars. I got it after the 5 weekly blue and 1 weekly epic knowledge item on the alt char.

Comment by Melandroso

After Botanist's Log: Dragon Isles hit, I went hunting for this. Took forever, but then I finallly got it from one of the herbs that came after planting a Propagating Roused Seedling.

Comment by Elerment

I had trouble with this on main and leveling alts. After trying for a while on alts added some profession gear with finesse and got within 30mins. Worth a try.

Comment by Zitchdog

It does not drop. I'm herbing everything..

Comment by Getwasted

Got herbalism on 1 alt, got it to about 80 skill points, also using it as a way of leveling. Did not see pollen drop.

Had another alt also at 60, did the same thing, finally got it around skill level 80 from a Lush Saxifrage (not sure if it mattered whether the herb was lush or not).

Comment by mmota

I have leveled both Herbalism and Mining from 1 to 100, got every other gathering achievement in the Dragon Isles and still couldnt find a single Infused Pollen for the Botanist's Log achiev... this sucks hard

Comment by Laika18

Spent 20+ hours herbing before this dropped, split between an herbalist with fully optimized profession gear + phial (tried both perception and finesse) and also a level 65 toon with zero profession equipment. It finally dropped from a regular Hochenblume on the toon without profession equipment. I had not yet hit my cap on Dreambloom Petal for the week. Seems absolutely random.
