The Herbalist's Handbook
Leveling Herbalism
Leveling Herbalism takes a lot of time, but it can take less time with some help from thisguide. All the way from level 1 to level 450 you'll want to know where to go to effectivelylevel up. You can't just hang out in Elwynn Forest picking Peacebloom and reach level 450,and you also don't want to head to Arathi Highlands at level 100 because most the herbsthere will be red.
I have ran several characters through Herbalism and have mastered this route, learned andtested all the tricks and now it's time to share them with you. Once you've learnedHerbalism, make sure you're familiar with the Find Herbs ability that you now have. There isa wrench looking icon on the top left of your minimap, by clicking it you can select 'FindHerbs' and herbs will show up as yellow circles on your minimap.
The next trick is to use your 'Click to Move' interface option. Tap the Esc key while in thegame and your Options menu will popup. Select Interface, go to the Mouse option on theleft and to the right you'll see a box labeled Click-to-Move. Check this box. Now when youclick an area on the map your character will turn position and start running in that direction.If you click on a herb that is off in the distance your character will run to it and pick it. Thisgreatly simplifies Herbalism.

Levels 1-75
To get started I have developed routes in all 8 of the starting areas. You can select any ofthe below zones, remember right when you reach level 75 you will be unable to continueleveling Herbalism until you visit a Herbalism Trainer to open up levels 75-150.
In each map below you can follow the map picking Silverleaf, Peacebloom, and eventuallyMageroyal until level 75.

Levels 75-150
After level 70 you can start collecting Briarthorn. Move to the northern area of The Barrensor Westfall (The Barrens are amazing I recommend even Alliance consider going there).Once you reach level 100 if you're in The Barrens start circling the southern section insteadof the northern section. If you're in Westfall head east to Duskwood. Until level 150 you'll becollecting Briarthorn, Bruiseweed, Wild Steelbloom, Grave Moss, and Kingsblood.

Levels 150-170
Now it's time to head back to the trainer and open up levels 150-225. Alliance head toWetlands and Horde head to Hillsbrad Foothills and collect Briarthorn, Kingsblood, andLiferoot.

Levels 170-225
These levels are very 'fun', there's really nothing to it, you just run this route around ArathiHighland and stack on the levels. You'll find Wild Steelbloom, Bruiseweed, Fadeleaf,Goldthorn, Liferoot, and Khadgar's Whiskers. There's no good reason to leave before level225, there is no better place to be in Azeroth.

Levels 225-275
Once you've reached level 225 you can head back to the trainer to open up 225-300.Afterwards head to Feralas, this is the best place to collect Sungrass, Goldthorn, andLiferoot. Sungrass isn't available until level 230, so the first 5 levels might be slow but thisis still the best place to go.
Feralas

Levels 275-300
Next you'll collect Dreamfoil and Plaguebloom in Western Plaguelands. You can't collect thePlaguebloom until level 285 so you should go back and pick it all up once you hit it.
Western Plaguelands

Levels 300-350
Head to the Outland Herbalism Trainer and learn Master Herbalism. Then head out intoHellfire Peninsula and start gathering Felweed and Golden Sansam. I designed this route forpeople who don't have a flying mount, but if you have one you can extend the route a littleby flying over the pools of Aggonar.

Levels 350-400
Now it's time to head to Northrend and learn Grand Master Herbalism. Once you have it,head to either the Howling Fjord or Borean Tundra and collect Goldclover until level 400.

Levels 435-450
Once you're level 435 you can start collecting Lichbloom and Icethorn, the two mostvaluable herbs in Northrend. Here's my favorite farming route that crosses back and forthfrom Icecrown to Storm Peaks with your epic flying mount. If you don't have any flyingmount you should stay in Sholazar until level 450.
