WoW Classic Herbalism Leveling Guide (1-300)

Where to farm Herbalism at every skill level. Pairs with Alchemy: every potion and elixir starts as a herb you picked yourself.

7 steps take Herbalism from 1 to 300. Ranks open at 75, 150 and 225, and each one needs a trainer visit before the next stretch; 21 trainers are listed below with coordinates checked against the 1.12 game data. 19 zone routes are drawn over the game's own Classic maps. The 28 herbs below carry the skill each one needs and the zones where 13,004 recorded spawns put it.
