I went through and stealthed around all three of the instances a bit, to see what I could get. There were five herb spawns in the steamvaults, and two of them were herbable by a solo stealther. The other three were unaccessable to anything less than a 5 man group.
The Slave Pens had 4 herb spawns that I could find before I ran into stealth detecting mobs, will need a small stealther group to acquire the other 3-4 throughout the rest of the zone. 3 of those 4 were herbable by a solo 70 stealther.
The underbog had 4 herb spawns up until the hydra boss, which means a 3-4 man group will be necessary to get any more out of the instance. Was able to herb all 4 spawns before then.
These spawns were fairly static over 3 resets of each instance.
Non-stealth classes can farm this fairly easily from Slave Pens at level 70. Between the first two caverns and the connecting hallway, you get an average of 3 lichen spawns. Reset, rinse, repeat. http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?page=38
As a warlock, I can solo the elite giants in Skettis. I highly suggest farming those; as they pretty much guaruntee motes of life and some good herbs. I farmed a primal and about 17 ancient lichen in maybe 10 minutes or less.
