Gah, goldthorn. *shudder*

Most old-world resources have been shuffled and re-ordered and they're often very easy to find in pretty large numbers. I am only leveling one of each profession for now so that I can be relatively self-sufficient, and I decided to level up alchemy on one of my characters. Gathering the mats myself wasn't bad except for two items: bruiseweed and goldthorn. Goldthorn seemed to be particularly sparse. Once I got past goldthorn it was a breeze. Stuff like sungrass, kadghar's whisker, blindweed and sorrowmoss are available in large quantities in the right zones, and before you know it you've got a bagful.

Then again I was leveling alch on one character, not 5 as I had planned some time back.
