WoW Forever Herbalism Leveling Guide 1–300

Herbalism leveling route from 1 to 300

Each step names the herbs that still give skill-ups and the zones where most of them grow, for your faction. A herb gives a sure point while it is orange and usually one while it is yellow, green ones rarely pay. Tap a herb to see it on the map.

What Forever changes for herbalists

• A quest in every starting area around level 3 to 4 gives you a free manual. It teaches Herbalism, Mining or Skinning if you have fewer than two professions and adds 2 skill points, up to 15.

  Beta data

• First Aid brews the six healing potions now, so Peacebloom, Briarthorn, Bruiseweed, Liferoot, Sungrass and Golden Sansam sell to everyone who levels First Aid, not just to alchemists.

  Beta data

• Herbs can give Scarce extras on top of the herb: Frilled Lichen, Rosecap and Stranglevine, plus herb seeds in four tiers. Alchemy turns the three into Cerulean Dye, Magenta Dye and Viridian Dye, which go into over a hundred new recipes. Where they dropped in the beta.

  Beta

• Herbalists build three camp objects: the Incense Candle at skill 20, the Greenhouse at 140, which grows herbs from your seeds, and the Seed Hybridizer at 300. Every camp object.

  Beta data

• The Tauren racial Cultivation grows a copy of a nearby herb that anyone can pick, once per herb. Since the beta notes of September 24 your level must be at least the herb's skill divided by 5, so level 30 for a skill 150 herb.

  Confirmed

• Herbalism pays no Legacy Points, only the six crafting professions do at 150, 225 and 300. What Legacy gives a herbalist is the perk Bountiful Harvest: 20 percent more Scarce materials per rank, twice as many at rank 5. Plan it in the Legacy calculator.

  Confirmed

• Herbs are shared like in Classic: beta players report a herb is gone after one to four pickers, whoever comes first. When a loop comes up empty, change zone instead of running it again.

  Player report

• Marefoil, Demonsage and Death Lotus are new endgame herbs without a known spot yet. A new glove enchant finds Death Lotus while you pick herbs in Mount Hyjal, so expect herbs there. We add their spots once they show up in the game.
