WOW Herbalism Guide

Herbalism is probably the gathering profession which will make you the most gold in the shortest amount of time. As this Herbalism Guide will show you, It’s easiest to level herbalism as you level your character, but you’ll also be able to level the profession very quickly if you choose to wait. Herbalism is virtually a requirement for alchemy because it saves a lot of money while leveling alchemy, but it also stands well on its own because you can make a lot of gold selling your herbs on the auction house. You might also want to choose herbalism as your second profession if your other profession is inscription. Herbs are used to make pigments, which are used by the inscription profession to make glyphs.

If your character is a Tauren, herbalism is also a good choice for a profession. Tauren characters automatically get a racial bonus of 15 to their herbalism skill when they train on the profession.
When your character reaches the Outlands, herbalists will also find they can skin some creatures for herbs. Although you won’t gain an herbalism level for herb-skinning creatures, this unique ability will give you some additional herbs to sell on the auction house.

One important ability which comes with herbalism is Find Herbs. Make sure you have Find Herbs up at all times. This ability will show you where herbs are on your mini map whenever you get close to them. Find Herbs is vital to herbing successfully and making a profit. Herbalists also gain the ability Lifeblood, which gets stronger at every 75 levels of herbalism. Lifeblood is a heal over time ability which any character would find useful.

Unlike crafting professions, the only time you need to visit your herbalism trainer is when you need to train for the next level. Here’s a breakdown of the herbs you’ll need to collect to gain each level, along with the locations of these herbs.
