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.

Player Submitted Information

Submitted by Randalf | |
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.
