Simply, all you need to do is fly just under the forest canopy and rain death upon all the troll mobs you come across. The mobs will respawn before you complete each lap so there will always be fresh ones to farm.
In my experience solo farming these mobs I can average between per hour, and for a herb that sells fast and for 1k Gold each, that is not a bad time investment.

Comment by Allakhazam There must be somethin wrong with ur server cause on mine and most others Edited, Jan 17th pm by Vamithras.
Comment by Allakhazam The occurrence of Wildvine when harvesting Purple Lotus depends on the zone you're in. Comment by Allakhazam Where does it say how much skill is required to pick this thing? Comment by Allakhazam Why anyone would pay so much for these is beyond me. Comment by Allakhazam double post Edited, Mon Sep 19 Comment by Allakhazam I love this plant :D.
AH has them at 4k. Anyone having any luck farming these? I just need for an xmog hah. View in 3D Find upgrades Quick Facts. Please keep the following in mind when posting a comment: Your comment must be in English or it will be removed.

Comment by Felwood is the place to farm Wildvine. Got 60 Purple Lotus and 3 Wildvines. In about 45 minutes. Comment by So after 3 hours of farming the 5 spawn points of purple lotus in felwood, a ticket confirmation from a GM that wildvine DOES still spawn, and being ganked by lvl 90's trying to level their herbalism, I am the proud owner of Purple lotus and ONE that's 1 wildvine.
Frustrated that my twink enchant calls for 2 wildvine, I decided to head to northern stranglethorn and see if I'd have better luck with the Skullsplitter whitchdoctors. After 1 hour and about 90 kills, I was able to get one to drop. Hope this helps! Comment by gbalkam So I have farmed these, and counted nodes. I got about 1 wildvine per 20 nodes from purple lotus. Try to get these at a time when nobody else is farming them, or you end up competing with off-realmers thank you blizzard for that This is not a bad thing.
Purple lotus is a material for Cenarion Herb Bag a nice and good selling herb bag. Easy sell at gold each. I have a couple in my bank slots for storing herbs, and carry the hyjal expedition bags with me. These are much cheaper than the Cata bags although smaller. I don't know about most people, but g per slot for storing herbs is a bit more than I want to spend.
Since that is a "white" item and used for low level blue bracers with leatherworking. Cant think of the name though, haven't had my coffee yet Anyway, if you see these in AH for under 20g, buy them out.
They sell for an easy g depending on how many are listed. I would think you would get an easy g or more, depending on how greedy you are feeling at the time. Comment by After searching for this rare herb i found that quite by accident the plant section of Mauradon drops it quite frequent. Well as frequent enough that i don't farm purple lotus anymore. Hopefully this helps anyone still wanting to cash in on this rare drop from WOW.
Comment by andrewb I agree with Drewbster the Skullsplitter Trolls do drop Wildvine but it seems that only the the Witchdoctors drop this. Went thro twice and got Wildvine x 6. Comment by After 2 and a half hours of farming Purple Lotus around the five points in Felwood, I collected purple lotus and 20 Wildvine. This is really pathetic and they need to change it. Comment by Aussiegnome8 I've had fairly limited success getting Wildvine in Felwood.
It's paired up with Purple Lotus, and pre-Cataclysm it was easy to get in Tanaris. Now however, the sites in Tanaris are underwater, so Felwood is pretty much the only spot to pick it apart from the bottom bit of Feralas. The map also shows Mithril and Truesilver nodes. If you can spot the Gold node, well done! Give yourself a pat on the back.
Comment by I wanted to make wildfeather leggings for a druid alt which need 4 wildvine. I came on here and read the comments about how rare wildvine is to find but I thought I'd give it an hour of my time up in Felwood.
It took me 20 minutes to get the 4 wildvine I needed and 33 purple lotus. I don't know whether the drop rates have changed or it was an extremely lucky day. Anyway I wish you all the same amount of luck. Comment by Turpentine Since I was in need of 4x Wildvine to craft Dreamweave Gloves , I read the comments for this herb and headed to Northern Stranglethorn, as most comments stated that the Hinterlands my usual farming spot for Wildvine had been set ablaze in Deathwing's path.
I farmed through these ruins and the two slightly to the north of it for about 90 minutes and came up with 4x Wildvine. Unfortunately, all four came from Skullsplitter Witch Doctor. Not one of them from any of the other types of trolls. Naturally, I killed everything that moved to test my drop theory and to force more of the Skullsplitter Witch Doctor to spawn. My advice is to stick to the Ruins of Zul'Mamwe, and kill everything in a neat rotation and hope for plenty of Skullsplitter Witch Doctor to spawn, for I believe that these are the only ones who drop Wildvine.
Comment by Raidell I can confirm that these drop from Skullsplitter Witch Doctor , though they're pretty rare. I must have killed close to 20 of these guys before I saw even one. So non-herbalists, there's hope! Also, my sincerest apologies to whoever I bought 3 of these from for less than a gold each on the Auction House. Your innocence was a wonder to behold. So they are still dropping with Purple Lotus. Comment by Still looks like quantities of this are scarce.
I did 4 passes through the Skullsplitter Trolls near that little fort. First couple I killed everything, last two I only concentrated on the Witch Doctors. Total of 8. Comment by Caraline As of mid these still do drop from the Skullsplitter Witch Doctors, but the drop rate is appaling.
It took 45 minutes just to get the first one. I was about to give up when it dropped. In hindsight I don't think the pair of gloves I wanted to make warranted so much time. Comment by mommyclz My husband just went picking in Felwood while I went killing in Stranglethorn - 45 minutes, I had 3 and he had 1. So, painful, but probably killing is faster. Comment by Unulia We all know the drop rate is, well, crap.
But I also needed a pair of those Dreamweave Gloves for my transmog. Here's my experience if it helps anyone. Needed 4 in total. Total time: 1h 2m. Happy grinding! Comment by Tampabound Droprate seems about right, needed eight for a recipie I am crafting, got all eight from Skullsplitter Witchdoctors in Northern Stranglethorn, took 2.
I decided to head to the hinterlands. I've been grinding every troll on the list here that says that a wildvine drops from for 2 hours. I am convinced that wildvine does NOT drop from the trolls in hinterlands.
Does anyone know of ANY other place to get this herb? I started out by just running around wiping everything out with no drops. Then remembered a comment on here about the Witch doctors so I concentrated on those. Within 5 kills I had one so to test the theory I went around killing everything again to no avail. So back to the Witchdoctors Again within kills had another one.
And I would say every kills I would get a drop. Once I had one back to back so it varies. Good luck and happy hunting! Note: 2 annoying things I went back to get more to sell on the AH and there seemed to be a lot less around since all I was killing was the Witch doctors. So I started killing scouts and axe throwers too and more popped back up.
Comment by Stizelswik This just totally sux. If I wanted another job 3rd , I would have gone out to get one! I wanna get into the GAME! NOT have to work another job too! And with sooooo many people playing, it's even harder to get the mats we need, as it is! This is just my 2 cents. No need to downrate, cuz if you do, it will just prove YOU have no respect for anyone's opinions but your own.
Pick a small flying mount and go in circles. I think i might have gone 30 minutes and only got 4. Very low drop rate in STV. Comment by dkcm As horrible as ever since Cata. I spent 40 minutes killing trolls in Stranglethorn. Got 1 wildvine. I went up to Felwood and picked purple lotus. Got two wildvine. Suspect it's just dumb luck, but I'll take what I can get. No wonder nobody goes to felwood anymore - such bad memories, the place is definitely cursed!
Comment by Beace I tried farming the Vilebranch trolls in Hinterlands first, but had no luck at all. You thought titanium was a pain to farm? By the good grace of Blizzard, another potentially profitable crafting piece rare these days has been rendered a waste of time at best. I am convinced this and Titanium, and a few other "reagents" are just a way to get players to grind out hours of wasted playtime to make the game look like it still "as busy as ever".
If Blizzard feels the need to just make reagents required for crafts never available, why not just remove the gear from the profession and call it a day? Comment by kaysuhdeeyuh Approximately an hour of farming in Felwood on a druid with a few stops to help lowbies questing Gromsblood Golden Sansam 79 Dreamfoil 47 Purple Lotus 3 Wildvine oof.
It's like Blizzard doesn't want anyone to use Wildvine anymore My results farming wildvine this way were 44 Purple Lotus to 1 Wildvine. Farming locations in Felwood: Purple lotus nodes in Ruins of Contstellas. Comment by Aross85 47 minutes yielded 99 Purple Lotus and 8 wildvine.
Had to have been extremely lucky and got 4 wildvine in 4 nodes in a row. Comment by Rhapsodi In two short farms today I picked up 97 purple lotus and 4 wildvine, just cruising between the spots where I know lotus spawns night elf ruins. Both areas often have two nodes up at once, where others have one. Respawn timer seems to be about 5 minutes, give or take.
Comment by Bunmeister Farmed from north to south and back up again using the nodes show in the gather mate 2 add on. I unchecked every herb except for the lotus. Thank god I only needed two of these very elusive herbs. I'm tight like that so broke out my druid farmer. I still want to push forward good data even as a future non-premium sub to them.
