Herbalism Guide

Herbalism is the first of three gathering professions.  While gathering professions are cheap to level they are the most time consuming.  This guide will show you how to minimize the time it takes to reach 450 Herbalism.

Herbalism, like mining, is highly rewarding financially due to the high demand for herbs in World of Warcraft.  Both Alchemists and Inscriptionists need these herbs to make various flasks, potions, glyphs etc which they can in turn sell for profit.
