Growing WoW for the best herb hotspots

Regardless of the main profession you choose in World of Warcraft, improving your crafting skill depends on the collecting profession you choose. Blacksmiths, jewelers, and engineers require an endless supply of ore, which is why mining is the preferred gathering profession. Leatherworkers need furs, alchemists and inscribers need herbs, and enchanters need spell components. Even Azeroth chefs need meat, fish, and poultry for their delicacies. Gathering professions is not only essential to the booming economy within the kingdoms, it is a necessity.

In this series of articles, I’ll take you through the lands of Azeroth and break down the different areas and locations where these materials exist and look for the best farming locations in the game, with the exception of the enchantment components, of course. Those materials are obtained from magical items that must be disenchanted. Disenchanting an item destroys the item to obtain the necessary components for your ship.

Today’s article will list the herbs found in each zone by their minimum skill level required to collect, as well as the player level required to survive in the area. In future articles, we’ll break down these areas and materials in more detail. For now, let’s start with the herbs found in the Eastern Kingdoms with follow-up items for Kalimdor, Northrend, and Outland.
