I went to Suramar at level 103 to do this quest. I was very careful and flew away before anything could attack me, but one time, a mob (Withered Hungerer maybe?) spawned upon harvesting and started chasing me. I thought that was it, I was done for - until I realized the mob was only level 102 and I killed it with no problem. As long as you have flying and/or are very careful, it shouldn't be too big of an issue.

Description

Sadly, I don't have any special techniques that can help you here. You'll simply need to practice your methods. Get back out there, and focus on a gentle touch when dealing with starlight roses.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Starlight RosedustLevel 10-45

    Despite all your training, the rose disintegrated in your hand. Your herbalism trainer in Dalaran will want to see this.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Jeweled Spade HandleLevel 10-45

    An immaculately carved spade handle lies beside the rose. Apparently the spade was more beautiful than it was durable, as the blade has completely fallen off. Your herbalism trainer may be interested in seeing this.

Legion Herbalism has 6 steps, from Starlight Rosedust to Tharillon's Fall.
