World of Warcraft Herbalism Guide
Herbalism like other gathering professions is a great method for making gold. Herbalism goes well with either Alchemy or Inscription. The following WoW Herbalism Guide will give you a brief introduction to the profession of Herbalism.
Travel to one of the large cities in order to find a Herbalism trainer. For some help in finding a trainer ask one of the guards. The Alchemy trainer is often near the Herbalism trainer so you can easily train for both if you wanted.
To become a Master you’ll need a trainer from Hellfire Peninsula. I won’t get into Grand Master level in this WoW Herbalism guide, but they involve the upper levels of 375-450. But I will mention that Alliance faction can train in either Valgarde or Valiance Keep. Horde characters can find a trainer in Vengeance Landing also in Howling Fjord.

The great thing is that once you’ve gotten training you won’t need anything else, other than a bag with lots of space to carry things you gather. You can have a special Herbalism bag made for you by a tailor. Herbs and plants can be anywhere including caves and under water so keep a keen eye out for them. Don’t worry about getting too many herbs since you can alway sell them in the Auction House. With “Find Herb” activated, the yellow dots on your map will indicate those plants that can be gathered.
Once you walk up to a herb and the cursor becomes active its ready to be gathered. If it’s not possible to pick a plant, chances are that it’s currently beyond your skill level. The plant and herbs that require higher skill level are usually in higer zones while those that require less skill are in lower areas. By the way you can also get herbs through instances, killing beasts or treasure chests.
The various color codes are important to understand so I’ll talk a little about them. Hovering over a plant with the mouse will give you this color code, the following list will tell you what they mean.
- Red- You don’t have the needed skill level to pick it yet.
- Orange- Pick it, it’ll almost certainly increase your Herbalism level.
- Yellow- Moderate chance of increasing your skill level.
- Green- Low chance for any benefit to you skill level.
- Gray- These plant won’t benefit your skill.
As you level to 450, which is beyond this WoW Herbalism guide, you’ll gain “Lifeblood”, which will give you the ability to heal yourself by absorbing energy and nutrients from the Earth.
