WoW: Classic Herbalism Guide

Collecting herbs in World of Warcraft: Classic goes a long way, especially if you play as a Rogue or would like to try your hand at Alchemy. We've outlined Herbalism trainer locations, where to gather specific herbs based on your level, and basic tips to make the most out of your gathering sessions.

Where to Find Herbalism Trainers

You'll need to find the right teacher before you can start leveling up your Herbalism profession on your own. Herbalism Trainers are stationed in every major city and some additional towns.

• Red: Your skill level is not high enough for you to pluck this herb (no skill points)
• Orange: Your attempts to pluck this herb will often fail, but not impossible (guaranteed skill points)
• Yellow: Your skill level is moderate enough for this herb, but your attempts may sometimes fail (frequent skill points)

Basic Herbalism Etiquette

Whenever you're playing an MMO, it's generally a good rule of thumb to make sure you're not stepping on other people's toes or endangering teammates by being careless. Practicing herbalism in WoW works just the same. If you see someone else trying to reach herb nodes, don't cut them off and take the herbs for yourself, since they won't grow back. Likewise, if you run away from your team without communicating that you'd like to collect herbs, you might end up with a group of disgruntled party members—and that's no fun for anyone!
