Strange that this was not mentioned earlier in over 10 comments.

1st off: I was able to do this on my alliance character - hence this quest is definitely NOT Horde-only. Got the same rates as horde however - 100% rate from each herb picked around Barrens, even at lvl 80.

Secondly, which more will find of interest - at least for alliance this does NOT count towards Loremaster of Kalimdor

Easy quest. Just have to pick 8 herbs in the barrens. And like vexor stated, it's a 100% drop rate.

This quest does not seem to decrease your Bloodsail Buccaneers reputation (at 80, Hostile.)

評論來自 Thottbot

anyone know what your herbalism skill level must be to receive this quest?

評論來自 Thottbot

You can find the Root Samples with the other plants you find in Barrens. When you open the lootbox of any plant in Barrens you will get a sample as extra.

評論來自 Thottbot

i found them most with my earthroot grabs, almost nowhere else...don't know if anybody else had the same experience

評論來自 Thottbot

Found them in a Peacebloom just north of Ratchet

評論來自 Thottbot

there is a definate scatter of the root. Ive gotten root with every pick up of herb...

評論來自 Thottbot

I found the samples with silver root. The level I was in that profession was probably in the 20's or 30's, but the samples are with the roots that you start with for gathering, so it probably does not matter what level you are in that profession.

I could not pick up this quest at Herbalism 37. Came back at Herbalism 50, lvl 10 and could pick it up.

評論來自 Thottbot

i found them on every plant that i found in the barrens, farely easy quest

評論來自 Thottbot

Come from the south, then walk around Crossroads, hope that the other horde there dont try and get you then run to ratchet, get the quest, stay away from The Crossroads while you do this quest.

The only thing is that coming from the south has higher levels cuz the south leads to 1K Needles (level 35 - something) so might take abit if you are like level 20 alliance.

評論來自 Thottbot

what skill do you have to be to take an root sample?

評論來自 Thottbot

Doesn't seem to work with strangekelp.

評論來自 Thottbot

the roots come with every other herb u loot

評論來自 Thottbot

coordinates of where quest is attained?

評論來自 Thottbot

Found that any herb I picked up in the general area of the Crossroads yielded a root sample. Didn't need to use the gopher or any of those supplies (which you pick up by clicking on them, next to the quest giver).

評論來自 Thottbot

I found that every herb that i herbalized around xc gave me the roots. so if having a hard time try looking around there

評論來自 Thottbot

All i have to say about this item and quest is wtf....

評論來自 Thottbot

u get atleast one root sample with every herb for the herbalism skill that u pick up.

評論來自 Thottbot

^^^^in the barrens^^^^

評論來自 Thottbot

How can someone complete this quest if they don't have herbalism, like my alt? I haven't made it to the Barrens yet.....Least wise I haven't gathered any herbs yet......

評論來自 Thottbot

the item it drops is AWSOME mostly because im a lv 14 and it gives 70 armor my alt has a cloak that gives 20 armor plus 70 enchant so im going to have to get that with that cloak

評論來自 Thottbot

Honestly, they should give herbalism exp, and not normal exp. That would make this quest so much better.

評論來自 Thottbot

Just got the root from a silverleaf.You can get it from every herb in barrens.

評論來自 Allakhazam

Is this quest for Horde, Alliance, or both?

評論來自 Allakhazam

Well, it is in Ratchet - a neutral (contested) place - I'd say it would have to be both Horde and Alliance. I am Horde, so I cannot speak to Alliance, but I'd say Alliance can probably get it...

評論來自 Allakhazam

#1: Make sure your Herbalism skill is at least 70 before trying this quest. Half of the readily availble roots near Ratchet are Briarthorn, which requires a skill of 70. 50 would be the bare minimum to not get frustrated with this quest, so you can at least gather Mageroyal.

#2: Head for one of the Oasis. The Stagnant Oasis is very near Ratchet. Since this is The Barrens, you would logically expect most of the "growing stuff" to be near water, and it actually works that way. With a skill of at least 50 you'll have this quest done in under 5 minutes there.

hey u guys i need help
do u have to be herbalit to do quest?
plz aswer me this questuions
i also need help do u have to do quests before this one?

評論來自 Allakhazam

Just to clarify, as the quest description itself is not all that clear.

To do this quest you have to already be a herbalist, and basically you run around gathering herbs like normal, but while the quest is active, you will receive a bonus item "Root Sample" when you are gathering.

I found the root sample on anything I gathered (briarthorn, silverleaf, earthroot, etc.)

Hope that helps!

...of hearthing back to Crossroads. Here is how:

Lushwater Oasis -- which is right outside Wailing Caverns. I just finished this quest at lvl 14 Warrior and got all 8 roots. The harvesting nodes are close at the waters edge and spawn fast. Much faster than running around like a headless troll all over the Barrens.

The herbs are also low lvl silverleaves so your herbalism doesn't have to be over 70. In fact all the herbs there was silverleaves.

You can also do the Fungal Spore quest from Helbrim at Crossroads as the fungals spawn there to.

Only thing to warn against is of course the mobs, lvl 12-14ish horsemen (along with a named one with an entourage--didn't notice his lvl as I was too busy running from him and his cronies). Oh and don't be tempted to swim over the Oasis water. Good way to get dead unawares.

All in all, a very fine quest; except no use for me to wear the price.

評論來自 Allakhazam

Since it seems no one else has answered definitively, yes, it is also for Alliance, too. Obviously, a far greater pain to be able to do (that is, getting there without dying numerous times), but you can manage it with Alliance chars, too.

評論來自 Allakhazam

this seems worthless but i'll do it just for fun, since there are no other quest for herbalist other than the marrowgrain questline (which has been boring me) might as well make use of my skill for something other than profit or supporting my non-herbalist alchemist girlie.

評論來自 Allakhazam

Sweet, then i just can pick anything..
Ill get right to it.

PS. Love this forum

評論來自 alphasigmasigma

Not Horde-exclusive; Alliance characters can do this quest too.

評論來自 lcm1947

I just got a root sample at level 33 and 151 herbalism level

評論來自 Gwalchgwyn

For some reason the herbs in Wailing Caverns and just outside the instance (but inside the cave) don't drop the Root Samples. The herbs outside of the cave do.
