Apologies first if this has been discussed before - I couldn't find it.
My character is a Level 40 Hunter - she is my main. She has 232 in Alchemy and 261 in Herbalism. I am now totally stuck on how to level up Alchemy from this point.
The only orange recipe I have now is Wildvine Potion (requires Wildvine, Purple Lotus, Crystal Vial) but wildvine only drops 10% of the time from Purple Lotus and Purple Lotus only grows in areas where I can't really wander around collecting herbs safely - I tried Ferelas last night both in the North and on the island and it was too close to constant death to bother with.
I've spent a day in Swamp of Sorrows which was v comfortable level wise and have collected TONS of bindweed but don't currently have any recipes that use it at all. Elixir of Greater Intelligence or Arcane Elixir look good to level up on for a while as I can get Goldthorn and Khadgar's Whisker easily. One problem is that I can't find out where to get either of these two recipes from? Can anyone help please or give me any other ideas on how to at least get up to 275 so I can transmute arcanite for my guildies.
(Buying the herbs to level up with is not an issue as I've in debt to my guild for their help with buying my mount and I want to give every gold I earn back to them.)
Thank you v much.
