Many high-level zones provide buffing and potion-like items, some of which are useful for end-game activities. These can be collected repeatedly, but only after completing certain quests in the zone.
Felwood Plants
You must first complete the quest Cleansing Felwood given by Arathandris Silversky (Alliance) or Maybess Riverbreeze (Horde), who can be found near the road to Emerald Sanctuary. You will be given a [Cenarion Beacon], which, when held in your inventory, allows you to collect Corrupted Soul Shards from mobs in Felwood. You can also collect other drops based on your profession. For example, you will collect [Fel Creep] every time you gather herbs or [Tainted Vitriol] every time you mine ore. These items only drop in Felwood. You can repeatedly turn in quantities of these items to the NPC and get two [Cenarion Plant Salve] in exchange.
You can then use the salve to cleanse the corrupted plants that spawn at certain set locations around Felwood. A cleansed plant gives you a reward and then can not be interacted with for a while. 25 minutes after a cleansing, you (or any other player) can harvest the plant again without using salve. Eventually, the plant will despawn or respawn as a corrupted plant.
Plant | Salve needed | Reward | Effect |
Songflower | 1 Salve | Songflower Serenade This is a direct buff, not an item |
Increases chance for a melee, ranged, or spell critical by 5% and all attributes by 15 for 1 hour. |
Windblossom | 2 Salve | 8-12 [Windblossom Berries] | Use: Restores 1933 health over 27 sec. Must remain seated while eating. Also increases your Stamina by 10 for 10 min. |
Whipper Root | 3 Salve | 3-7 [Whipper Root Tuber] | Use: Restores 700 to 900 health. |
Night Dragon | 4 Salve | 3-7 [Night Dragon's Breath] | Use: Restores 394 to 456 mana and 394 to 456 health. |
All these items are on a 2 minute cooldown shared with healthstones and other "non-agressive" items (but seperate from potions.)
Winterspring Juju
Witchdoctor Mau'ari is in Everlook will give you Juju items when you bring her e'ko, which you can sometimes get from creatures throughout Winterspring. You need to have the [Cache of Mau'ari] with you to collect the e'ko, and also to use the Juju once you've received it. You must complete two quests for her first. As of patch 1.10 and before, it is most efficient to farm E'kos in a group. If you are grouped and an E'ko drops, everyone in the group gets to loot one, provided they meet the above prerequisites. If you already have plenty, you can help out others by just being in the group to make an extra one drop and giving it to them! These buffs do NOT stack with castable buffs!
Jujus are now available to both Alliance and Horde.

Un'Goro Crystals
Throughout Un'Goro, as you may have noticed, are lots of multicolored crystals growing out of the ground. If you collect them, you'll be able to use them in the 3 pylons located in the North, East, and West areas of the crater to produce items that you can use at any time to give you a certain buff. You need to complete the Crystals of Power and Making Sense of It quests to be able to use the pylons.
These buffs do NOT stack with castable buffs! These buff items can be used on friendly targets.

Blasted Lands Blood Elves Concoctions
There are two Blood Elves in the Northeast corner of the Blasted Lands who will give you certain items when you bring them certain parts from the animals in the area. It's pretty obvious which parts come from which animals. All of the concoctions are unique so you can only carry one of each at a time; however, you can carry as many of the ingredients as you have bag space for. Upon turning in each quest for the very first time, you will receive the buff of the concoction rewarded in addition to the concoction itself. You may only have one of these five buffs active at any given time (i.e. they do not stack with each other). However, they WILL stack with castable buffs! All concoctions have a shared 60 min. cooldown.

Sayge's Dark Fortunes
Sayge is a Gnoll who works at the Darkmoon Faire. He can "read" your fortune through a couple questions he asks you, and depending on your answer, he'll cast a certain buff on you as well. You'll also receive an unrelated scroll, most of which are worthless, but some of which give you a quest. Template:Sayge-table
