Swiftthistle can be obtained through farming other types of herbs, such as Mageroyal and Brisrthorn. Which means you’re never really going to get more than the main herbs, but you can still farm up a good bunch.
Since I never really had Alchemy as a profession, I didn’t find much use in this herb, other than milling it into pigments.

Dismissed Zones
- Silverpine Forest
Side Note
- You gather this herb from Mageroyal and Briarthorn.
Eastern Kingdoms
This is a Horde zone.
Due to so many herbs in this zone, you’re going to want to be here if you want the most out of this specific herb. Meaning there are both Mageroyal and Briarthorn in this zone. That gives you more of the herb in question, since it’s not singular. Know that a lot of others may be farming here, and sometimes events are held, making it more populated.
- Swiftthistle – 100
Kalimdor
This is an Alliance zone.
Not as many herbs as the location above, but it’s still a really good place for those alliance herbalists. Or if Hillsbrad is too crowded for your liking, then the numbers of herbs aren’t too much lower.
- Swiftthistle – 69

Inscription
| Dusky Pigment Used by Inscription. Generally, these are used for crafting glyphs, but also scrolls and other such nonsense. I say that only because glyphs have degraded over the expansions. |
