[[Shimmer Ridge]] is located in northern [[Dun Morogh]], west of the [[Gates of Ironforge]]. The ridge is inhabited by [[Frostmane]] [[troll]]s, who grow [[Shimmer Weed]] and dwell in two camps connected by a bridge. Young adventurers seek Shimmer Ridge out in order to collect the shimmer weed for an especially tasty ale recipe.

Black Lotus can be found in [[Winterspring]], [[Eastern Plaguelands]], [[Burning Steppes]], [[Silithus]], and outside the instance portals in [[Dire Maul]]. It is rare in all of these places and never appears anywhere else. Requires 300 Herbalism to gather.

It can also very rarely be obtained from harvesting the corpses of plant mobs like [[Bog Lord]]s in Outland. The chance to get a black lotus appears to increase with the monster's level, so chances are higher in places like [[Skettis]], [[The Steamvault]], [[Serpentshrine Cavern]] and heroic Coilfang Reservoir instances.

The chance to get a black lotus appears to increase with the monster's level, so chances are higher in places like Skettis, The Steamvault, Serpentshrine Cavern and heroic Coilfang Reservoir instances.
