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 grows additional herbs that can be gathered without the profession.
What this profession is for
- Gather herbs for Alchemy, or to sell them.
- Craft an Incense Candle to place at the camp, which increases Intellect.
- Gather more materials with the Bountiful Harvest legacy talent.
Learning the profession
Herbalism is learned from an herbalism trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill and requires a minimum skill, with no character level:
- Apprentice: up to 75 skill.
- Journeyman: up to 150, from 50 skill.
- Expert: up to 225, from 125 skill.
- Artisan: up to 300, from 200 skill.
Remember to visit your trainer as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
All these trainers teach the 4 ranks, up to Artisan.
