Herbalism is an almost necessary requirement for
Alchemy. You're going to find herbs all around the
world, so why not get this skill and take advantage of
it? Alchemy is a great skill that allows you to generate
all sorts of instant and temporary potions to improve a
character's effectiveness.

First of all make your way to the nearest herbalism
trainer. You can visit a major city and ask a guard for
directions. Often, alchemists are situated nearby
herbalists, so you can learn both closely related skills
in the same location.
For Master Herbalism (skill 300-375) head to Hellfire
Peninsula. Alliance players visit Rorelien at Honor
Hold. Horde players find Ruak Stronghorn at Thrallmar or
Tansy Wildmane at Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra.
For Grand Master Herbalism (skill 375-450) Alliance
players can go to Fayin Whisperleaf in Valgarde, Howling
Fjord or Kiera Moondancer in Valiance Keep, Borean
Tundra. Horde players visit Marjory Kains at Vengeance
Landing, Howling Fjord. Both sides can visit Dorothy
Egan at the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran. |

Once you've acquired the basics, you're ready to go.
Herbalism requires no additional items to use. Be sure
to keep a lot of empty bag space for all the herbs
you're about to pick up. If you get a lot of extra herbs
that you can't use, you can store them in the bank or
sell them to other players.
After you have learned the beginning-level herbalism,
you will gain the "Find Herbs" ability, which will
display nearby herbs as yellow dots on your mini-map. To
use it, simply drag the icon down to your action bar and
press the corresponding button. Be sure to pay attention
to keeping it active; otherwise you may miss important
plants!
If while adventuring you spot a yellow dot on your
mini map, you've found a plant! Move your cursor over to
your mini-map and hold it over the dot. A small window
will appear and display the name of the plant. If you
decide you want to harvest it, begin running toward it.
Watch out for any monsters in your path that may attack
you.
Plants can be found underwater and even in caves.
|
|
Each plant requires a minimum skill in herbalism to
harvest. Depending on the level of the plant, you may
gain skill levels when you succeed in gathering. The
further away your skill is from the level of the plant,
the less likely you are to receive a skill increase. The
skill required to successfully use a plant also
corresponds to the regions it can be found in. Easier
plants are found in the lower-level areas, and more
difficult plants in the higher-level zones.

You can also find Herbs in instances, which are not
listed. Herbs can also be found in treasure chests or
when killing certain monsters.
|
|
- If you're in a party with more than one
herbalist, share the plants you find with them.
- Multiple people can gain skill off the same
plant if the first person avoids picking the herbs
off the plant. After the plant's contents box
appears, simply press "Escape" to stand up, and the
second person can then gather and have a chance to
raise his or her skill.
- Don't pick plants while fighting. Wait until the
party is safe before moving over to the plant.
- Don't run off to a plant by yourself without
letting the other party members know. If there are
monsters in the way, ask the party to clear them for
you. Basically, don't do anything to jeopardize the
safety of the party while you collect plants.

There is an enchant that can increase your Herbalism
skill allowing you to pick higher level Herbs
Herbalism is a great way to make money. Sell Herbs
to other players in the Auction House.
Some vendors sell herbs, rarely. You can also find
Herbs in some chests. Some monsters commonly drop herbs.
Sometimes Bloodvine drops from enemies or can be
harvested from Zul'Gurub herbs if the player has a Blood
Scythe.
Tailors can create special herb carrying bags that
have extra slots to carry Herbs.
Warp Splinter can be skinned with Herbalism in
heroic difficulty.
Some high level herbs are also found in The Botanica,
The Slave Pens, The Steamvault, The Underbog.
If you're a Warlock or Hunter you can send your pet
in to attack a monster standing on a herb, loot the
herb, then run!
Some Herbs in Outland cause various effects when the
Herb is picked. An example is Mana Thistle which
restores some mana to you. Picking a Nightmare Vine
places a negative debuff on you.

1. Some of the best drops for herbs (of random types) are found on fungoid elementals, such as the ones near the tar pits of Un'Goro Crater or near the oasis in Tanaris.
2. On Outland, high-level herbalists can "skin" certain creatures such as the Bog Lords and Giants of Zangarmarsh, for bonus herb drops from their corpses.
3. Another great way to add herbs to your stash is by doing the repeatable Morrowgrain quests in Darnassus and at Feathermoon Stronghold. The magical pouch you are given can be repeatedly used to grow herbs from a random list. The only thing you need to keep this process going is fresh soil from Un'Goro Crater and more Tharlendris seeds, which are purchased from the Morrowgrain questgivers. |
