Herbalism

Overview

Herbalism is a primary gathering profession. It lets you pick the herbs found throughout the world.

It pairs naturally with Alchemy, which turns those herbs into potions. Tauren have the Cultivation ability, which increases Herbalism skill by 15.

What this profession is for

  • Gather herbs for Alchemy, or to sell them.
