Picking Manathistle

Mana Thistle is a great herb for alchemists. Other than having a cool name, it is needed for many higher end recipes, such as the various Cauldrons, and most of the highest level elemental protection and healing/mana potions. Also, when you pick it, it restores some mana! How cool is that?

Mana Thistle can only be picked by a master Herbalist, that is, 375 skill. Aside from that, the places it grows most consistently can only be reached with a flying mount! So, this is not an easy herb to get, which means it tends to sell high and well.

• In Terokkar Forest, you can pick it in the southeast corner, at Skettis. Also, in the Barrier Hills just above the Aldor base.
• In Blade's Edge Mountains, check out the Pinnacle Vortext to the west, and Felstorm Point in the north.
• In Netherstorm, in the northwest, at Socrethar's Seat.
  
• In Shadowmoon Valley, check out the southeastern Netherwing Ledge.
