The Warcraft Formula system teaches numerous gold
farming tips. Of these tips, they have included all three major gathering
professions and especially herbalism. However, herbalism can be a hard
profession to master because of the complete randomness of node locations and
the sheer number of them out there. Which ones should you be searching for and
where are they located?
What to Harvest
Most World of Warcraft gold guides provide the same basic
instructions for herbalism and they are largely correct, but you can still make
the most of the situation if you know how. The lower level herbalism nodes are
generally not going to make you a fortune, but they are fortunately easy to
find, despite random spawning. They are easy to access and usually not
surrounded by a crowd of mobs.
The higher level nodes are where the problems usually start
up. They are incredibly random in spawning to start with and what’s more, they
tend to be hard to find when someone else is already in the area. When you reach
upper levels and start looking for black lotuses, dreamfoil, or ghost mushrooms,
best of luck to you, but these are the herbs you should be harvesting as, when
you do get them, they are incredibly valuable.
Where to Harvest
There are not necessarily any specific zones where
harvesting is best for herbs. Your early searches will take you to places like
Stranglethorn Vale and Westfall, but later you will be scouring zones like
Un’Goro Crater and the Plaguelands looking for rare spawns. In Outland, your
options are a bit more clear even with the rarity of spawns. This is because at
higher levels, you can actually harvest the mobs themselves. The Bog Lords and
plant mobs in Zangarmarsh and Terokkar Forest for example are great sources of
rare drops, including Unidentified Plant Parts (a reputation item), motes of
Life, and any number of high level herbalism nodes. Most World of Warcraft gold
guides give little information on these possibilities, but if you farm on Bog
Lords for an hour, you can almost always expect to come away with at least
75-100 gold, especially if you pick up the various mushroom spawns in the area
that are used for Sporeggar reputation.
Herbalism is an interesting profession with multiple
possibilities. World of Warcraft gold
guides will often recommend that you choose Mining and Herbalism as your
primary professions for good reason – they are highly profitable and
interchangeable. In zones like Nagrand you will undoubtedly find both nodes in
your loops as you farm and can vastly increase your gold making potential as a
result. You can find even more helpful tips like this in
Warcraft Formula.
