To get the log achievements for each herb, you need to learn the Lush, Windswept, Frigid, Decayed, Titan-Touched, Infurious, and Lambent version of each herb.

To get Botanist's Log - Overloaded Elements you need to learn the Windswept, Frigid, Decayed, Titan-Touched, Infurious and Lambent overloads.

If you're having trouble finding the Decayed version of each herb, buy some Decayed Roused Seedling and look for Rich Soil. The herb it spawns will count.

I can confirm that I got Infused Pollen from basic Hochenblume (it probably drops from any herb with very low % chance) as max 100/100 herbalist, lvl 70, with non-maxed outed knowledge points.

Infused Pollen
This achievement being added in 10.1.7 didn't record data of having used Infused Pollen in the past, so players who are maxed specialization are now forced to seek one out. Unfortunately, it seems as if the likelihood of finding one decreases as you advance your specialization - making it extremely difficult to find one for maxed players. Players have reported success having an alt pick herbs in the Isles. WowHead data for most herbs report the pollen's drop chance at 0.2% - but that's with max specialization players collecting data as well, so the drop chance may be higher for new alts (likely 1%). New players to herbalism or players seeking to get old achievements will not have issues with this.

Dreambloom
This is the "capstone" specialization reward for your weekly specialization points. This is gathered after collecting the maximum number of Dreambloom Petal allowed - which is all documented in your Herbalism Journal.

Elemental Herbs
Again, you can check your Herbalism Journal to learn more details on each of these individually, but in short:

Lambent herbs, such as Lambent Writhebark, can only be found in the Zaralek Cavern.
Injurious herbs, such as Infurious Hochenblume, can only be found in war mode.
Frigid herbs, such as Frigid Writhebark, can be mostly found in cold environments but may spawn rarely anywhere.
Decayed herbs, such as Decayed Writhebark, can be found in the decayed area of The Azure Span.
Titan-Touched herbs, such as Titan-Touched Writhebark, are most commonly found in Thaldraszus, but have other locations as well, these are rarer.

All other elemental herbs (Molten, Windy, etc.) are spread throughout the dragon isles but you should find them somewhat-commonly in the Waking Shores.

Other Useful Knowledge

Writhebark is most commonly found "in wooded areas" such as The Azure Span and The Ohn'ahran Plains. Lambent variants can be found in the Zaralek Caverns.
You can buy seeds such as Decayed Roused Seedling from the auction house, and (if you have unlocked the ability to grow seeds) these can be useful for finding more herbs.
Remember that a decayed herb's poison can be negated by jumping, and a firey herb's flame can be doused by jumping in the water.

Overloading
A key herbalist ability: Overload Elemental Herb can be used to "overload" elemental variants of herbs. Check your spell book for this ability. While it has a long cooldown - this cooldown is dramatically reduced by picking additional herbs.

I have found an Infussed Pollen, it is in my Herb Journal. Yet it is not ticked off for the achievement.
All herbing was done in 10.1.7.

If there something im missing? Are their multiple pollens to find?

Comment by Getwasted

Started Herbalism on one alt, got it to 90 in skill points, no pollen. Started another alt, already at 60 skill points, still no pollen. Does it exist? It's been hours... I've lost track of time...

Comment by gothicmaster

maybe it's just me but i find it crazy that there's no way to track your progress on these..i mean i am probably not gonna do these in 1 day so how can i remember on which herbs i used or didn't use overload ? or which herbs am i missing from the other achievements ?

Comment by PugnusDei

just got it on my main ( i dont have any alts ) with herbalism maxed out

Comment by thebl4ckd0g

It kind of sucks this achievement doesn't mesh with your actual Herbalism Journal and see you have it completely filled out.

Comment by DCCXVIII

This achieve isn't as difficult as some of the posters here might lead you to believe. Or at least it wasn't for me. True I may have gotten lucky. But it is equally possible that Blizz has patched it such that the main sticking point (Infused Pollen) is no longer an issue.

Basically all I did was farm herbs in the Emerald Dream and in about 15min I managed to get both my Infused Pollen and Dreambloom. The rest I obtained from their respective sources. I was already maxed out on my Herbalism skill long ago before completing this achievement.
