So yeah.. Whenever I TRY to herb in Twilight Highlands, the herbcount per hour is absolutely awful. I get a maximum of 5 stacks per hour, if not less.. I havent done the quests there yet, does that affect the number of herbs available for gathering?
It does. A lot. The phasing in TH is awful. Next to that; the mobs in TH are awful and will make you die a lot or miss nodes a lot. Simple solution: Don't go TH, go Uldum instead. Much better nodes/hour rate.
I have no problem in Twilight Highlands... except for those random dragons that will make you just stand there for hours and hours.
From what I've experienced you have to quest up to where the portal to TH is open before you can even find more than 1 or 2 herbs. Last night quested up to around Thundemar, but not finished the Wildhammer wedding, and I'm getting the same nodes/hour as a toon that has only opened the portal. Could be that its bc I'm only farming twilight jasmine but I'm not sure.
The twilight jasmine is selling for 130-150g per stack on my server compared to 35-40g per stack of whiptail and cinderbloom, but the amount of time the bot spends having a staring contest with the dragons in twilight highlands make it not worth it, even at those prices.
