Herbalism in WoW Forever

  • Gathering

Herbalists pick the plants that grow across Azeroth, from meadows to swamps. It fits right into questing: you see a herb on the way, you pick it. Alchemists need a steady supply, so herbs are always worth something.

Good first profession? Yes. You find herbs along the way as you quest, and they sell from the very start.

How it works in Classic.

What it gathers

Herbs
Picked from plants out in the world. Alchemists turn them into potions, or you sell them.
