WoW Herbalism Guide 1-450

This WoW Herbalism Guide (updated for patch 3.3.5) will take you through the best routes to get your Herbalism level to 375. It can be used by anyone to get their skill up; however, watch the zone levels in case you are gathering with a lower level character. Before starting this guide be sure you have Herbalism trained and your bags are empty, as you will be collected lots of herbs.

If you are using this guide to get herbs to use with Alchemy keep in mind that this guide is designed to raise your skill level as quickly as possible, but might not provide you with the herbs you need to make worthwhile Alchemy recipes. If you are power leveling your Alchemy I suggest using this guide to get your Herbalism up initially and then buy the extra supplies you need off the auction house to make additional lower level Alchemy recipes. If gold is a problem check out this Gold Guide.

When following these routes remember that the lines outlined on the map are just basic routes to follow and that the herbs will be spread around on both sides of the lines drawn on each map. Also, if you find you like a certain area or are having a very easy time collecting herbs there then stay in the area longer until all the herbs turn green or gray.

Gathering Peacebloom, Silverleaf, and Earthroot

Skill: 1-70
Zones: Durotar (1-11), Elwynn Forest (1-10), Teldrassil (1-10), and Tirisfal Glades (1-11)

All of these starting zones are loaded with herbs, you are bound to find loads of them by running just about any where in them.

Gathering Mageroyal, Briarthorn, and Stranglekelp

Skill: 71-130
Zone: The Barrens (10-25) and Silverpine Forest (10-20)

If possible, The Barrens is where you want to be for these Herbalism levels; however, I have included a map for Silverpine Forest because it is a decent place to find herbs for these levels.

(Return to Top)

Gathering Bruiseweed and Wild Steelbloom

Skill: 131-170
Zone: Stonetalon Mountains (14-28)

If you find yourself having a hard time gathering herbs in Stonetalon then you can try out Hillsbrad Foothills, but I recommend sticking with Stonetalon unless for some reason you are having a very difficult time there.

(Return to Top)

Gathering Kingsblood, Liferoot, Fadeleaf, Goldthorn, and Khadgar's Whisker

Skill: 171-220
Zone: Stranglethorn Vale (30-44)

Stranglethorn Vale is loaded with herbs and is my top place to gather at this skill level; however, if you do find yourself getting camped by the opposite faction you can try Arathi Highlands, but stick with Stranglethorn if you can. If you find that all this herbing has taken away from your gold making time look at this gold guide for tips on how to make more gold in less time.

(Return to Top)

Gathering Firebloom, Purple Lotus, Goldthorn, Sungrass, and Fadeleaf

Skill: 221-270
Zone: Tanaris (40-50) and The Hinterlands (40-51)

For these levels I suggest going to Tanaris and collecting enough herbs to reach 230 and then going to The Hinterlands until 270. If you want you can skip Tanaris, but keep in mind that you won't be able to pick Sungrass (which is plentiful in The Hinterlands) until 230. Look for Purple Lotus by the various ruins throughout both zones.

(Return to Top)

Gathering Sungrass, Gromsblood, Golden Sansam, Dreamfoil, Mountain Silversage, and Plaguebloom

Skill: 271-300
Zones: Felwood (48-55)

Follow the routes on the map until you hit 300 and then head to Hellfire Peninsula.

(Return to Top)

Gathering Felweed

Skill: 301-350
Zone: Hellfire Peninsula (58-63)

Hellfire Peninsula is covered with Felweed, use the map as a general guideline to follow but remember that there is basically Felweed anywhere in this zone.
