Welcome, heroes of Azeroth, to your most efficient Mists of Pandaria Classic Herbalism guide from level 1 to 600.

If you want to find a list of in-depth guides for each primary profession in Mists of Pandaria Classic, be sure to check out this article here:

Why choose Herbalism as a profession

In Mists of Pandaria Classic, Herbalism is one of the gathering professions available to you. With Herbalism skills, you can use Find Herbs to track and display the location of nearby herbs on your minimap. This tool is beneficial when you’re gathering herbs, as it makes it easier to find nodes. Aside from that, Herbalism allows you to sell different materials regularly to make steady gold or keep them for yourself to use in Alchemy or Inscription.

In Mists of Pandaria Classic, each profession offers its owner a unique, significant perk. In the case of Herbalism, it lets you use an excellent personal spell called Lifeblood. This spell not only heals you like in previous expansions, but also increases your Haste for 20 seconds.

Best combo with Herbalism in MoP Classic

In MoP Classic, two top profession combos with Herbalism offer great synergy and strong gold-making potential on the Auction House. Choose the one you prefer.

Herbalism and Alchemy combo is the classic one. Combine these two, and you’ll always have plenty of herbs for your Alchemy experiments. By collecting your own herbs, you can craft potions and elixirs without buying them at the Auction House and sell them to other players for a steady income.

Herbalism and Inscription make a strong combo too, working perfectly together. Herbs are used to craft ink, which you can turn into Glyphs for personal use or to sell on the Auction House.

In Mists of Pandaria, you no longer need to visit multiple trainers to learn different ranks of Herbalism. You can find trainers in any major city, and they can teach you all ranks.

Leveling MoP Classic Herbalism and optimal routes

Below, you will find the optimal Mists of Pandaria Classic Herbalism routes for each level range.

Herbalism routes 1-70

• What you gather: Peacebloom, Silverleaf, and Earthroot

Tirisfal Glades

Elwynn forest

Herbalism routes 70-150

• Learn Herbalism Journeyman
• What you gather: Mageroyal, Briarthorn, and Bruiseweed

Hillsbrad Foothills

Between skill levels 70 and 125, follow the yellow lines. Upon reaching skill level 125, you can enter the red circle to gather Frozen Herbs. Horde players can remain in this zone until skill level 160 or slightly higher if desired because of a Herbalism trainer in Tarren Mill, whom you can visit at skill level 150. Staying here until skill level 160 is recommended to ensure you can gather Khadgar’s Whisker immediately upon moving to the next zone.

Darkshore

The last few points between skill levels 130 and 150 might take a bit longer to reach.

Herbalism routes 150-230

• Learn Herbalism Expert
• What you gather: Kingsblood, Liferoot, Fadeleaf, Goldthorn (Feralas only), and Khadgar’s Whisker

You won’t be able to collect Khadgar’s Whisker until you reach skill level 160. All herbs will appear as green for the final 10-20 points. Be sure to visit your trainer again between levels 200 and 225 for further progression.

Feralas

Western Plaguelands

Herbalism routes 230-285

What you gather: Sungrass

The most common herb in both zones will be Sungrass. We recommend Thousand Needles because, unlike the Eastern Plaguelands, it doesn’t have as much Khadgar’s Whisker, which will be green for you and grey for the last few points.

Thousand Needles

If you don’t have a flying mount, follow the yellow line until you reach the end, then turn back and return to the starting point. Additionally, you’ll need to swim to either Twilight Bulwark or Twilight Withering to reach the area where the herbs are located.

Eastern Plaguelands

Herbalism routes 285-325

What you gather: Sungrass, Gromsblood, Golden Sansam, Dreamfoil, and Mountain Silversage in Felwood; Golden Sansam and Sorrowmoss in the Swamp of Sorrows

Swamp of Sorrows

The entire area is abundant with herbs that can be found everywhere. If you don’t need these herbs for Alchemy, you can stay in the Swamp of Sorrows until you reach level 350 and skip Outland. However, Outland herbs typically sell for more, so it’s beneficial to head there earlier.

Felwood

TBC Herbalism routes 325-350

• Learn Herbalism Master
• What you gather: Felweed, Dreaming Glory, and Terocone

Terrokar Forest

WotLK Herbalism routes 350-400

• Learn Herbalism Grand Master
• What you gather: Tiger Lily. It requires a Herbalism skill level of 375, so you won’t be able to pick it yet.

Howling Fjord

If you don’t have a flying mount, we suggest avoiding the areas around Utgarde Keep in the middle.

Borean Tundra

The route is easy to follow, whether or not you have a flying mount.

Grizzly Hills

Grizzly Hills has more Tiger Lily than Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord. Leveling here is a bit more annoying until you reach level 375.

WotLK Herbalism routes 400-425

• What you gather: Adder’s Tongue, Goldclover, and Tiger Lily

Sholazar Basin

Cataclysm Herbalism routes 425-475

• Learn Illustrious Herbalism
• What you gather: Cinderbloom

Mount Hyjal

Cataclysm Herbalism routes 475-500

Learn MoP Herbalism at any trainer.

• What you gather: Rain Poppy, Green Tea Leaf
• Location: Jade Forest

MoP Herbalism routes 545 – 575

MoP Herbalism routes 575 – 600
