This WoW Herbalism guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Herbalism profession from 1 to 450. Updated for WoW patch 3.2

The guide includes map routes for the best zones filled with herbs. Herbalism goes well with Alchemy, because you can use the herbs you pick and make potions, but I won't say Herbalism is the best combined with Alchemy, Herbalism is good with any other profession. However if you want to level Alchemy aswell, make sure to check out my WoW Alchemy Leveling Guide. But keep in mind, this Herbalism guide is made to level your profession as fast as possible, so sometimes the herbs you will farm might not be the best for Alchemy.

In the guide I will always show the maps first where I found the most Herbs, and after I will list alternative maps, so you can choose the place that is best for you or you can go to other zone if the zone you are in already being farmed by someone.

If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold. You also need to realize this is not a leveling guide, so if you are looking for a leveling guide, the best one is this 1 - 80 Leveling Guide.

I strongly recommend to download the following addon:

• Gatherer

This addon show you every herb locations on your map, like you will see on the pictures in the guide. The addon and the databse can be found here.

Don't forget you can pick up every herb you see, even if it's green. As you see this is not a "Fast WoW Herbalism Guide 1-450 follow my ways and if you dare to pick up OTHER HERBS YOU WILL DIE IN HELL!" Don't do that, herbs can be sold for money, pick up everything. I usually pick up even the Herbs grey for me, they are good for alts when I want to level Alchemy.

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Apprentice Herbalism.
