this is probably one of the few reasons to the price of swiftthistle. to low levels: a good way to farm gold would be to go through silverpine farming briarthorn and mageroyal which both have chances of having swiftthistle. rogues will buy the swiftthistle for the thistle tea.

If you're wondering where you're recipe went... keep in mind this is cooking, not alchemy. :P

Comment by Thottbot

If you didn't do the quest for it, or chucked the recipe, you can buy it now from the Dwarf vendor in the basement of Ravenholdt Manor. There is an unlimited quantity of these as well. I know this because I bought 4 of them, thinking I could make a profit selling some at the AH. Once I got to the AH, I also discovered that the recipe is BoP =). Bought these on 04/12/05

Yeah, i remember I used to see this in the AH sometimes, but I think blizz changed it recently. Didn't know there was also a vendor in Ravenholdt, thanks for the info.

can horde buy this recipe somewhere

cuz the village u say its just aliance , and i am a rogue of horde that have loose his recipe

Comment by Thottbot

Horde rogues can buy this recipe if they accidentally destroyed/sold the one they got with their Poisons quest reward. Go to Ravenholdt, enter the house, then take the staircase down into the basement. You'll find a vendor there who will sell you the Thistle Tea recipe for a few silver. There's also a specialty engineer vendor there. You do not need much of a reputation... although I doubt you'll be able to buy from the vendor if you haven't finished the repeatable faction/syndicate amulet gathering quest for friendly status.

My rogue bought the recipe last night (6/6/05) after traveling to alliance newbie lands to get the cooking skill up quickly (it's hard to find the right mobs needed in Horde territories to advance cooking skill quickly in the early stages with the few recipes that the trainer gives you). Fortunately, you just need 60 or 70 cooking skill before you can make the tea, so the grind isn't too bad.

First look at this map of Hillsbrad Foothills, note all the yellow squares top right of the map, that's Ravenholdt:
http://i71.www.wowhead.com/classic/m/s/13121.jpg

If for some reason that isn't showing, search here on Thottbot for the quest "The Manor, Ravenholdt".

Now, look over to the east, see Durnholde Keep? Ok, now look NorthEast of that, see the pass going NE ? That's towards the Hinterlands. Now if you go here and look north as you enter the pass you should see a little (about 10x10 yards) graveyard. This is the start of the path up to Ravenholdt. Go up, through the cave, et voila, you should see the Manor.

The pass up starts at approx. 83,30 (disclaimer: I'm eyeballing that on my ingame map).

reading all the posts I figured I'd see what was what for myself. My husband has a 34 rogue and I have a toon that I've made into a cook. I had him go to the Vendor in Ravenholdt and grab the recipe. This recipe *is* soulbound to him upon purchase. for testing purposes, he tried to mail it, tried to AH it...didn't happen. Now, I can't speak for any other server, but that's what happened on this day on Sargeras (pvp). I have not tried to take other classes to purchase. But, when my cook is old enough, I might...just to see *shrug* I always like to test things out for myself...die many honorable deaths this way *grin*

so now i know y swifttissle is so valable
i was wondering cuz i sold the requirment for a lot of money =)

Comment by Thottbot

first of all to get it you have to get the LVL 24 ROGUE quest from uc or org, it says you have to go to ravenholdt manor, after doing the quest there, (you have to get about 30 of the book thingys) you will become friendly with them , once this happens you go downsairs into the basement of the manor adn talk to the poison vendor , he sells it, it IS BoP

Comment by Thottbot

WOW several ppl keep asking the same questions over & over and ppl have answered it over & over!
Can you say REDUNDANT...READ!

Comment by Thottbot

I'm a lvl 40 rogue and the guy in the basement doesn't carry the tea recipe anymore. Does anyone know if the location to purchase has changed?

Comment by Thottbot

I'm on the Horde side so I'll be speaking on behalf of the Horde. Go to the Dornhold keep. collect those patches the humaniods are wearing. If you're a rogue it helps to use pickpocket. btw, this place is also great for lockpicking. anyway...the idea is to collect about 30 patches. Once you've done that head towards Ravenhold manor which is directly north of the keep and slightly west. speak with one of the soldiers and give him the patches. At that time you should be honored. You will then be able to obtain thistle tea recipe in the basement.

Yes...this can be used in combat. Yes, this is a very hot selling product for those who have the recipe. The recipe itself from Ravenholt is soulbound. The tea gives energy not mana. It's probably best to just look in AH for it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong about this

Comment by Thottbot

just been as a 39 pally with 225 cooking, the dwary in the basement did not offer it to me.

My rouge friend was there yesterday and it was available, so if a rouge wants thistle tea - THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT THEMSELVES

Comment by Thottbot

I went to the Vendor in the basmentof the Manor but he didn't have any of these recipes. Is there a limited amount or am I in the wrong place? Anyone else have this problem?

Comment by Thottbot

Yes. The recipe can be bought. By whom? Only rogues. It's BOP. No. You can't trade BOP items. Your paladin/warrior/druid/shaman CAN'T go get it. Why? Rogues only. I don't know how many times it can be said. The vendor ONLY sells this to rogues.

Comment by Thottbot

to buy the tea in the basement u need to be freindly...in order to become friendly u need to be a rouge and get the patches from the synidicte...so it is rouge only and BOP...

Comment by Thottbot

I went to buy this as an 18 rogue and I had a 28 rogue with me. This recipe did not even appear in the poison vendor's inventory for me, but my friend had no problem buying it.
The recipe was soulbound; he couldn't trade it to me.
I don't know if there's a level requirement, or if you just need to have done the first ravenholdt quest. My friend was not friendly with ravenholdt when he bought this recipe (though he was working on it).
Hope this helps.

Comment by Thottbot

in the past, prolly before you guys even knew what wow was the recipe was boe, even the one the rogue got on the lvl 15 quest, yep its true, now you need ot have rep with ravenholt to buy the recipe or get it at 15 on the quest, only reason the vender sells it is because at one point you could only get the recipe from the quest so if you tossed it , it was gone :P

Comment by Thottbot

Looks like it's only rogues that can get it.

I just swept my warrior through Durnholdt twice and nary a mark nor insignia fell. Also, not a single kill moved my rep meter with Ravenholdt.

Comment by Thottbot

can ally get this?

Comment by Allakhazam

B.o.p? Makes no sense why only rogues can buy it and why its b.o.p now. A few months ago, rogue buddy gave this to me and I would like it on my new char. Guess its not happening now.

Edited, Thu Sep 8 13:00:02 2005

Comment by Allakhazam

yeah, theres a guy in ravelholde who's selling the recipe for 2S, good to buy it and sell on the AH. Maybe it sells for about 1g...

Comment by Allakhazam

U can get it in Tarren Mill (in Hillsbrand Foothills) if u go from in to east, then u cross river and there will be mountain, u turn south following mountain wall and u will see a path to up of mountain, it will lead to a little cave at other end of it will be a village where i can get recipe for thistle tea but u need for that 1) Be a rogue 2)Complete a quest of this thistle tea. Recipe u got will be soulbounded so i can't see anywhere this recipe =)

Comment by Allakhazam

Ok, I have done this quest and at the time, I didn't have cooking as a skill. So, stupid me, I destroyed it. I have gone to Ravenholdt and when I place my cursor over Smudge, I do not even get the icon that he is a vendor. If I right click on him, I end up attacking him. Any suggestions?

Comment by Allakhazam

does he still sell it? everytime i go there he doesnt have it for sale. does anyone know?

Comment by Allakhazam

This bastard doesn't sell it, I waited for a good 45 minutes to see if it was a rare sell and nothing. I think someone got some info messed up.

Comment by Allakhazam

kleine ketjens zijn gino

Comment by Allakhazam

This was added to the vendor with the March 2005 patch ... maybe the patch notes will explain the confusion:

Smudge Thunderbrew in Ravenholdt Manor now sells the recipe for Thistle Tea to those rogues who completed the quest and inadvertently destroyed their recipes.

You need to be A> A Rogue, and B> Have previously completed one of the quests mentioned above.

Comment by Allakhazam

As listed above, a vendor in the basement of Ravenholdt sells this for 2s. So if you read this and need the recipe, don't buy it off the AH, it's usually overpriced there. If you read this and want to make money, you can abuse the fact since not a lot of people know about the NPC.
