There are four kinds of flasks: one to increase stamina, one to increase agility, one to increase intellect and one to increase strength. Each of the regular herbs grows in a different region of the Broken Isles, and the roses grow exclusively in the max-level region of Suramar. There’s also a special plant called Starlight Rose.
