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, and with Inscription, which mills them into pigments. Tauren have the Cultivation ability, which increases Herbalism skill by 15.
What this profession is for
- Gather herbs for Alchemy and Inscription, or to sell them.
Learning the profession
Herbalism is learned from an herbalism trainer. Each rank raises the profession's maximum skill and requires a minimum skill:
- 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.
- Master: up to 375.
- Grand Master: up to 450, from 350 skill.
Remember to visit your trainer as you approach your rank's limit: beyond it, your skill no longer increases.
In Wrath of the Lich King, the herbalism trainers in the capital cities teach the Apprentice to Artisan ranks, from 1 to 300. The Master rank, from 300 to 375, is learned in Outland, and the Grand Master rank, from 375 to 450, in Northrend, from the trainers shown in brackets.
