I found this on another post:

Ghost Mushroom
- Arathi Highlands
- The Hinterlands


I have looked around the Arathi area, either I went by it or it just isnt there. Can someone confirm Ghost mushrooms in the Arathi zone? (specific spot post as well) ... in the cave by the fort?

Hinterlands, they are usually found in caves, one of which would be the skulk? cave before the dragon-portal area.


Arathi I got my doubts on.... but check caves. :-x

I think I know the place you refer to ... there is a troll seen every now and then with a scattering of Ogres? I'll check it out

Ty for the tips

ok, I was out here this weekend, I think your referring to Bouldercrest outpost. I checked it though and through , waited, went back to look. Didnt see any.

Has anyone seen ghost mushrooms out by the cave beside Hammerfall?

You can get them in Desolace too, in Maraudon though.

For the more seasoned player, Dire Maul also has lots of Ghostmushrooms, especially where the demons are found, of course they spawn behind wonderful camps of mobs containing about 4-7 baddies, lol. GL

Can you be more exact about the location in Desolace?
I did many a quest up there and didnt see any.

It's in the Maraudon instance, which is in Desolace. You're gonna want to be around 50 to get a group to go in there though.

Maradon is a instance in Decolace, if you drag you backside over twards the centars, you may see some on you mini map, but they will be greyed out(underground), at 47 I was able to stealth in and get some shroomies, but if you are going that far, why not fight the 47-48 slimes in skull rock and get them their.

While I was doing stuff in Un'Goro I got loads off the Bloodpetal Lasher, Thresher, Flayer and Trapper. Even though their reported drop rate isn't that high I seemed to get a lot (and had an alchemist friend almost die when I said I ditched most of them to free up bag space... I didn't know they were "rare", rofl).

Skulk Rock, inside the cave, in the Hinterlands is the best place I've found. Only 3 spawns though, I think.

was told thats a solid lead (your post) to check for them. Ty for the write ups.

Skull Rock, number one, second is Jinta Alor, I think it is called, or one of those ' areas in Hinterlands. It is the big bad one south east. If you have a rogue, it is perfect. you have to stealth all the way to the back. (pretty much better be near 60, 55 may work. There are about 5 in and around there and in the tunnels that are around the top level. These are one of the hardest herbs to farm, next to grave moss. Grave moss is in lower zones, but farmed often on my server, so you are competing for the few spawns.

Maraudon and Dire Maul both have them,as do several 50+ instances; but I sure wouldn't go there for that. It is nice if you let the group know in advance that you would like to get them, sometimes there is a competition over them, also you may have to convince the group to kill 3-5 elites to get to one mushroom.

sometimes when my alchem alt needs mushrooms I do a stealth run of Mara. I usually get 8 to 10 on each run, and it only takes a few minutes after you figure out where the spawns are, and which ones you can loot safely.

I do Maraudon stealth runs for shrooms with my level 60 warrior ;)
You can pick up ALL the shrooms without aggroing anything when you are carefull.
Walk from the orange entrance to the tree boss and then back out though the purple entrance. Pick the shrooms outside the instance, reset it and enter orange again.
There is one place you HAVE to aggro to pass, but that spot is close to the purple entrance, so just run on and you will get out before the mobs get you.

Easy when one has the "stealth" to do this. We are talking about a mid - upper lvl 40's character here. (minus the stealth)

Well then ghost mushrooms are not for you, I know you want them, but ya dont need them, you can level alchemy with much eazer herbs than this, if ya cant get to them ,it is becasue blizzard decided that you are not ready to collect them. right arround 46-48 if you can team up with a miner, skull rock in the hinderlands is the first place you can reliabley collect them , It may be my perspective, but they seem to respawn faster at night. 2 mid 40's should be able to clear out the slimes.

correct and correct with above post. Got a lvl 60 herbalist to show me around out there. Plain and simple (on my server) its camped period! I under stand what your saying about
Quote:

, however I hope Blizzard also reconizes that a gamer should be given a chance to collect them as she or he would like / need and that a profession leveling should be kept in line with ones own level. Not sure if Bliz took this into consideration when bringing all this together but just seems to make sense. (i.e. When one advances at work , one get the pay that goes along with the advancement; ect) maybe that example isnt the greatest but I do agree skull rock does seem to be a good place to find these when its not totally camped up. Something I saw that bothered me was one making kills to clear out an area , to get to the herb and then only finding someone wonder in and pluck the herb with the other is clearning that area. I guess its true when it was said that Personal responsibility and kindness is on the way out-

Actually what you need to do is go into mara, they are all over the place in there

Bumped a thread from more 2 months ago... check.

Answered with the same (but less) information than various other posts have given... check. See below:

As you see, other posters have stated these strategies long before you chimed in with even less relevent information.

I just thought I would be nice and tell you why I am rating you down, instead of doing it without an explanation.

On topic...

Mike, can you confirm that these are there? I have never seen any Ghost 'Shrooms in Arathi, so I just want to be sure. I will add this to the herbalism guide if they are indeed there. Thanks!

I only found them there once (a single spawn). When I needed Ghost 'shrooms for the epic mount quest, I went to the Hinterlands. I didn't find many spawns at Skulk rock, but I hit the jackpot in the cave at Jintha Alor (the one behind Hexx). I needed 7, and got them all there, without even going through the entire cave system.
