Follow both banks of the central river, detouring around buildings and hostile crocodiles. Classic Whiptail requires Herbalism 500. Volatile Life is a bonus herb yield. Retail players seeing the later invasion phase should use Zidormi near Ramkahen to return to old Uldum. Markers identify approximate areas. Lines are suggested searches; they are not fixed spawn locations or a measured yield guarantee.
