Herbalism Guide

WoW Herbalism Leveling Guide 1 - 525

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Herbalism.

I recommend you to get the following enchant: [Enchant Gloves - Gatherer]. You can just buy any low level gloves from a vendor and enchant that one with this Enchant, equip the gloves when you level your herbalism. Check the Auction House and if there is any [Scroll of Enchant Gloves - Gatherer available, buy it.

For the first 70 points, you can go to any starter zone, there is not much difference between them. I recommend the two following zones, because they are really close to the zones that I recommend for the next part of the Herbalism guide.

You will gather the following herbs: [Peacebloom], [Silverleaf], [Earthroot]

Tirisfal Glades


Elwynn Forest



70 - 150 Herbalism
You will gather the following herbs: [Mageroyal], [Briarthorn], [Bruiseweed]

Learn Herbalism Journeyman then head to Hillsbrad Foothills because that is the best zone for this part of the Herbalism leveling guide. It's a horde only zone, this means it might be a bit harder to reach it for alliance players, and for low level players I recommend Darkshore and then at 115 go to Ashenvale, or Westfall and then at 125 go to Northern Stranglethorn. The reason I recommend Hillsbrad is because you can level up to 150 in one zone.

Horde players can stay in this zone up to 160 or even a bit more if they want to, because there is a herbalism trainer in Tarren Mill, so you can visit her at 150. The reason I recommend you stay here until 160 is because this way when you go to the next zones, you will be able to gather Khadgar's Whisker right away.

Hillsbrad Foothills
Between 70-125, just follow the yellow lines. When you reach 125, you can enter the orange circle and gather Frozen Herbs.

The tooltip is bugged! It says you need 275 to gather Frozen Herbs, but you can gather them at 125.




150 - 230 Herbalism
You will gather the following herbs: [Kingsblood], [Fadeleaf], [Khadgar's Whisker], [Goldthorn]

There is no Goldthorn at Western Plaguelands, go to Feralas if you want to farm it.

Visit your trainer and learn Herbalism Expert. For the first 10 points until you reach 160, you won't be able to gather Khadgar's Whisker, and for the last 10-20 points, all of the herbs will be green, but it's still the fastest way if you to stay in these zones.

You will have to visit your trainer again when you reach 200.

Feralas


Western Plaguelands



230 - 285 Herbalism
You will gather the following herb: [Sungrass]

In both of the zones below the most common herb will be [Sungrass]. I recommend Thousand Needles, because in Eastern Plaguelands there are a lot of [Khadgar's Whisker] which will be green to you and grey for the last few points. I also like the easy layout of Thousand Needles, you just go in a straight line and you can't miss the herbs, but don't get me wrong, Eastern Plaguelands is a really great alternative.

Thousand Needles
If you don't have a flying mount, then when you reach the end of the yellow line, you should turn back and run back to the starting point of the yellow line. You will also have to swim to Twilight Bulwark or Twilight Withering, else you can't really get to the place where the herbs are. (you can see these zones if you click on the map below)



Eastern Plaguelands



285 - 325 Herbalism
You will gather the following herbs:

Swamp of Sorrows: [Golden Sansam], [Sorrowmoss]



Visit your trainer and learn Herbalism Master.

Swamp of Sorrows
The whole zone is filled with herbs. You can find them everywhere, there is no farming route for this map.

Felwood: [Gromsblood], [Purple Lotus], [Dreamfoil], [Golden Sansam]

Felwood



325 - 350 Herbalism
You will gather the following herbs: [Felweed], [Dreaming Glory], [Terocone]

The orange circles means that you should fly around that zone, because the herbs are spread all over inside them.

Terrokar Forest



350 - 400 Herbalism
Learn Herbalism Grand Master. In Howling Fjord, you will mostly find [Goldclover], but there will be some [Tiger Lily] near the rivers and lakes, you won't be able to gather these until you reach 375 in Herbalism.

Howling Fjord



400 - 425 Herbalism
Sholazar Basin is filled with Herbs. The most common herb is [Adder's Tongue], but you can also find some [Goldclover] and [Tiger Lily]. If you don't really care about selling the Herbs, you should stay in Sholazar Basin until you reach 450. All it takes is just one full circuit in the zone, assuming no one else is farming there.

Sholazar Basin



425 - 475 Herbalism
Visit your trainer and learn Herbalism Illustrious.

You will gather [Cinderbloom].

Mount Hyjal




475 - 500 Herbalism
You should go to Deepholm and gather [Heartblossom] or you can stay in Mount Hyjal until you reach 500.




500 - 525 Herbalism
You will gather [Whiptail].
