WoW Herbalism Guide

Version for patch 3.3

This guide was developed to help you in speed leveling Herbalism. It has several sections depending on your current herbalism level. Each one includes the short description of herbs you should collect and maps of the best routes. These routes will help you to level herbalism as quick as possible.

When you are going to field make sure your "Find Herbs" ability is on. It will mark locations of all nearby herbs on your minimap. Don't forget to install "Gatherer" add–on – it's a must–have for any gathering profession. This addon will store locations of every nodes you've found and display it on your map. There is also a great HUD ability which make following optimal gathering routes much more simple. You may also want to use GathererDB – a database which already contains all node's locations.

The best profession pairs for herbalism are alchemy and inscription. With these professions you can craft different items using the herbs you've collected.


Leveling Herbalism 1–75

Leveling Herbalism 170–225

Gather: Wild Steelbloom, Bruiseweed, Fadeleaf, Goldthorn, Liferoot and Khadgar's Whisker.

This bracket is one of the most boring in leveling Herbalism. All you have to do is running over Arathi Highlands again and again until you hit 225. There are no other suitable zones at these levels. Map:

Go to Northrend and start to gather Goldclover up to 400. As there are two "starting" locations in Northrend I've deloped herbalism routes for both of them.

Leveling Herbalism 400–435

When you hit 435 it's time to move to Sholazar Basin. In this zone you will collect Adder's Tongue, Tiger Lily and more Goldclover until 435.

Leveling Herbalism 435–450

Starting from 435 you can gather most valuable herbs in Northrend – Lichbloom and Icethorn. If you have a fly mount than the best route for this bracket will be Icecrown + Storm Peaks. But if you don't have a fly it's better to stay in Sholazar Basin until 450.
