    Solution was posted for the original release version of this game, I'm just posting it here.

    Herbs respawn every time you fast travel to a tower, and several towers have a few herbs visible from them on the mini-map, which makes for quick farming, rather than searching through the map. Below are the 10 Survivalist Challenges, along with the best towers to farm from.

    #1 - 2 x Niphredil
    Udun Foothills (2)

    #2 - 3 x Pipeweed, 1 x Lothrond
    Udun Foothills (2 x Pipeweed)
    Barrows of Udun (1 x Lothrond - East/North East of the tower in a ditch)

    #3 - 2 x Azuradan, 2 x Remmenthond
    Barrows of Udun (1 x Azuradan)
    The Black Road (2 x Remmenthond)

    #4 - 1 x Azuradan, 2 x Lothrond, 2 x Niphredil
    Barrows of Udun (1 x Lothrond, 1 x Azuradan)
    Udun Foothills (2 x Niphredil)

    #5 - 4 x Blue Milk, 2 x Mallos
    Fern Outskirts (1 x Blue Milk)
    Barrows of Udun (1 x Mallos)
    Note by BSimmons4Prez : 1 x Blue Milk can be found under the bridge just East of the Tower at the Barrows of Udun. This will help you get that challenge done earlier in the game.

    #6 - 3 x Elgaran, 3 x Earthbread
    Cape of Nurn (1 x Elgaran, 1 x Earthbread)

    #7 - 4 x Alfirin, 3 x Gwinuial
    Cape of Nurn (1 x Alfirin)
    Durthang Outskirts (1 x Gwinuial)

    #8 - 3 x Carandol, 2 x Naugrimbas, 2 x Orchamarth
    Fern Outskirts (2 x Carandol - These are located under the bridge directly west of the tower. Note: toddycst reports 2 more Carandol under the bridge south east of the tower)
    Fort Morn (1 x Naugrimbas, 1 x Orchamarth)

    #9 - 7 x Athelas
    Fort Morn (1 x Athelas)

    #10 - 3 x Blue Milk, 2 x Elgaran, 2 x Gwinuial
    Fern Outskirts (1 x Blue Milk)
    Cape of Nurn (1 x Elgaran)
    Durthang Outskirts (1 x Gwinuial)

    SweetArkhaneFor the #8, I see no Carandol west of the tower :/

    SweetArkhaneBut there is a Carandol next to Fort Morn tower!
    Posted by SweetArkhane on 11 Jul 17 at 00:29
    SweetArkhane#10 There is one Gwinuial south west of the Blue Milk (really close).

    KanchanaburiThe best way is just to ride a cadagar, which moves fast, and watch the mini map, they all show up very easily.
