Where does Stranglekelp grow?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.warcraft (More info?)

I have been looking for Stranglekelp all over the place. According to
those Excel sheets somebody posted a link to a few days ago there should
be some in
- Hillsbrad Foothills
- Wetlands
but although I spent quite some time strolling through those areas on
various quests and grinding runs I have never, ever found any yet.

Does it only grow in specific areas? I would be expecting it near water.
Or does it actually grow under water? Do I need to go gathering herbs
while swimming to get it?

Dazzled greetings

Usually it is under water. Occasionally I see some on the shore near
the water. The best place I have been able to locate it is the
western shore of Ashenvale - Zoram Strand area. I will see some other
areas too, but not with the consistency of Zoram.

I have to agree. If you're going to farm stranglekelp, Zoram Strand is
the place to go. Just swim out to the offshore islands and you'll see
it on your radar.

You CAN find it off the shore of the wetlands and Hillsbrad, but it's
not nearly as easy to gather as in ZS.

Menethil Harbour is where I used to get mine, if you use gatherer you will
see where it has been before, theres a place where it spawns alot, and other
places (around the harbour) that only has one node or none.
Always grows underwater as far as I know, so just dive for it, you don't
need to use any water breathing potions
Not much in Hillsbrad, just the odd bit I think.

South of southshore, just near the coast. On the whole length of the
cost are about 10 stranglekelp nodes (which made quite a chunk of
my mount money).

No idea.

I'd like to add Ashenvale, just follow the rivers and you'll find a lot
of liferoot and stranglekelp.

You have that herb tracking ability enabled?

I grows underwater.

Thanks, I'll go have a look there

And I'll give that a try, too

Actually, it's my default tracking when running all over the world and I
only switch to tracking animals, humanoids etc when I need them.

Ah, that might have been one reason why I haven't found any so far...

Thanks to all the others, too, who gave hints on where to find it easily.

What I forgot to mention: In the south east of this farming grounds
is an elite shark hanging around (with a level somewhere between 30
and 40). I never had to go in his aggro range, just keep an eye
open

In almost every case it's underwater - in one case I found
one on the beach at Zoram Strand (Ashendale). The places
It's not a very high level herb so you may be shooting too
high in the areas you hit - I like to collect in 2 places:
1) off the coast of the Wetlands, and 2) off the coast of
Westfall. I also see it off the shore of Darkshore and
Ashenvale, and I've found it in rare patches around the
lobster cages in south Desolace, and you even see some of
it in aquatic instances. I know I've seen little bits of
it in Mauradan when I go there for mushrooms, and I'd bet it
can be found in Blackfathom Deep and maybe Wailing Caverns.

For out-of-doors collecting (easiest for low levels when you
have the greatest need of it) turn on your herb radar, zoom
it all the way out, and swim out a long way from the shore
so that the land is just visible on the very edge of your
minimap, then start swimming parallel with the coast. If
you have some form of waterbreathing that's ideal, but you
can collect it without that type of special capability.
