First look at this map of Hillsbrad Foothills, note all the yellow squares top right of the map, that's Ravenholdt:

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

Now, look over to the east, see Durnholde Keep?&nbsp Ok, now look NorthEast of that, see the pass going NE ?&nbsp That's towards the Hinterlands.&nbsp Now if you go here and look north as you enter the pass you should see a little (about 10x10 yards) graveyard.&nbsp This is the start of the path up to Ravenholdt.&nbsp 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.&nbsp My husband has a 34 rogue and I have a toon that I've made into a cook.&nbsp I had him go to the Vendor in Ravenholdt and grab the recipe.&nbsp This recipe *is* soulbound to him upon purchase.&nbsp for testing purposes, he tried to mail it, tried to AH it...didn't happen.&nbsp Now, I can't speak for any other server, but that's what happened on this day on Sargeras (pvp).&nbsp I have not tried to take other classes to purchase.&nbsp 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*

can&nbsp ally get this?

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

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

Horde rogues can buy this recipe if they accidentally destroyed/sold the one they got with their Poisons quest reward.&nbsp Go to Ravenholdt, enter the house, then take the staircase down into the basement.&nbsp You'll find a vendor there who will sell you the Thistle Tea recipe for a few silver.&nbsp There's also a specialty engineer vendor there.&nbsp You do not need much of a reputation... although I doubt&nbsp 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).&nbsp Fortunately, you just need 60 or 70 cooking skill before you can make the tea, so the grind isn't too bad.

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

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

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

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...

I went to buy this as an 18 rogue and I had a 28 rogue with me.&nbsp 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.&nbsp My friend was not friendly with ravenholdt when he bought this recipe (though he was working on it).
Hope this helps.

Yeah, i remember I used to see this in the AH sometimes, but I think blizz changed it recently.&nbsp 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&nbsp his recipe

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

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

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

I am a lvl 30 alliance rogue.&nbsp I've travelled to ravenholdt, performed the (ravenholdt) quest involving the insignias, gotten myself up to friendly status with Ravenholdt.
The dwarf poison vendor in the basement does *not* offer me the thislte tea recipie.
What am I doing wrong here?&nbsp Any thoughts?

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

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.

Rogues can get the recipe as a quest reward.

(Quest #2478) (not a twink)
Dark Iron

the guy Nycithis is talking about is called Smudge Thunderwood but it doesn't sell it yet. He is in the basement of Ravenholdt Manor but whether it was sold out or not available I couldn't tell... I desperatly need the recipe, if anyone can help in finding it other then doing the quest would be very useful

i also messed up by destroying the recipe but after seeing this is went right to revenholt and found it for 2s

60 cooking and level 5 to use. If you get this recipe sit on it... Make stack and sell it to a 60 rogue for 10g. You can buy all the mats on AH for 1-2g, huge profit margins :P

I'm sitting in front of the vendor and I can't see it, do you need to do a quest? Do you need a special class to buy it?

Thanks

My understanding is that this was to go in next big patch. I have yet to find it on this guy.
Has anyone actually purchased it yet?
