Possible Millings?

1. Hriedmar, August 2008:

   I was wondering if there was any information on the dropped herb, Heart of the Wild. Since it's not harvested directly like many other herbs, it would make sense to me either way: non-millable or millable. Just an issue of curiosity, and I love this site, so keep it up!

2. sidereal, August 2008:

   There's a posting on the beta professions forums where someone tried to categorize things which were not millable.

   Un-Millable:
   Fire Seed
   Fire Leaf
   Deadknettle
   Fel Blossom
   Fel Lotus 300
   Black Lotus 300
   Wildvine 210

   Basically, the rare drop herbs, like wildvine, black lotus, etc are non millable (probably removing a dependency on acquiring them). I would assume Heart of the Wild might be in the same boat.

3. el, August 2008:

   I wrote a list of what herbs are Millable. However, I haven't checked all the dropped herbs: Heart of Wild is one. I suspect it is no millable, but there are unexpected quirks.

   I've been trying to check it most of the morning, but a few technical difficulties have so far prevented that... Updated: It's not millable.

   Are there any other similar "herbs" that I've missed and should check?

4. Hriedmar, August 2008:

   I haven't seen any others that you've missed, El: As I've said, you've done a great job so far. I can't wait to check back in on the site when Inscription comes in full force to the Beta, when it comes out to the live realms, and when the expansion is released.

   Not that I don't visit every day already anyways.

   Thanks for the quick response.

Bloodthistle for inscription?

1. Sonalita, October 2008:

   The guide here does not list bloodthistle as a herb that you can grind up for levelling 1 - 75 - does anyone know if it can be used as I have 3 stacks in my herb bag waiting...

2. el, October 2008:

   Bloodthistle is not millable, so not used in Inscription. It was at the start of beta, but not now. Generally herbs that give a buff cannot be milled.

3. ScoobyDew79, October 2008:

   Just a note too. Wildvine is NOT millable, however Wintersbite is.
