Once again with actual flowchart! Or well, what is kind of a flowchart. Oh, shut up.
Flowchart Friday
Lyrandre: @ILikeBubbles
And theoretically, on rare occasions, we also have an @Orithea! On less rare and more wordy occasions, we also have a James. Who does not have a Twitter because he is fail? Anyway, there had to be some bubbles in this blog somewhere.
I Like Bubbles

DAMN HIPPIES!

Yeah… works for pretty much any gathering profession – just replace “Flower!” with “Shiny!”
XD

Or just “yellow dot!”

Heh, so true! So happy the priest isn’t a gatherer.
Also, ok, if I get demoted for saying casted, what is the punishment for “_an_ Herbalist”?

My wife’s 1st 80 has herbalism. THIS POST IS 100% FACTUAL!

I’m in a leveling team that contains 1 (one) herbalist (my pocket healer) and 1 (one) Miner (me).
45 seconds after going after heading out, our party communication contains mainly “DOT!” “DOT!” “DOT!”.
I think my herbalist has actually macroed it. XD

@Oasic My official ruling is that an herbalist is correct. :P Unless you pronounce the h.
Also, so true.

I hear you’re supposed to listen to Afroman while herbalizing…

Made my day!

This is definitely NOT the case for a miner, because quest areas are rarely on the outer edge of a zone. Thus I deem miners more HARD CORE than the hippy flower pickers.
And get a hair cut, slacker!
#11 by Splat on February 26, 2010 - 2:07 pm
@Carina My wife DID in fact make a macro for asking whatever party we were in if she could stop and pick flowers.

Holy crap. This cracked me up enough that my I had to try to explain it to my cube mate. This is exactly why my lock is only level 24.
#13 by Souci on February 26, 2010 - 3:53 pm
zomg totally nailed it – i even have a macro to alert any other members in my party that there is a PLANT! that i’m going after – just so they’ll know why it’s taking me so long to get to where they are =)

….how did you know how I level my herbalists?
#15 by Kyrstellaine on February 26, 2010 - 4:37 pm
So true, so true! It was especially crazy when we got to Freya’s room.
#16 by Corr on February 26, 2010 - 4:45 pm
Lmao!! This is me!! They used to tease me on vent because I would announce every 10 or 15 seconds “flower” to explain why I was trailing behind my questing buddies. I’ve long since stopped questing/leveling, but they still poke fun at me by saying “flower” at random times or chiming in with the occasional “herb!” instead.
#17 by Cayleb on February 26, 2010 - 4:56 pm
This is soooo true for any gatherer. In fact, just the other….
Ooooh, shiny!
…uh, what was I talking about?
#18 by Melfina the Blue on February 26, 2010 - 7:15 pm
It’s even better when the gatherer is the healer.
heal heal heal… ooh yellow dot! GATHER!
Um, why are all these mobs coming to eat my face and where’s the tank?
Oops.
*dies*

Totally agree with this flowchart, my friend that i tend to quest/lvl alts with is always like:
“ok so next up we can go kill those guys over there for X quest, and then we can follow this path to go pick up Y item for this other quest and then…..”
*Notices i went off the path to pick up herb/mine…*
“….just let me know when u’re actually coming for the quest >.>”
