Below is a detailed walk-through on how to level Herbalism 1-450 the easiest and quickest. Herbalism doesn't take too much effort and at higher levels can be quite profitable. This Herbalism leveling 1-450 guide is as complete as I can make it. If you aren't leveling Alchemy you should make 1,500g or more from selling the herbs on the Auction House you farm to skill up which ofcourse will ultimately depend on your server. Please enjoy this Herbalism leveling 1-450 guide and if you have any questions or feedback feel free to post them on our forums.

• Herbalism 1-450 leveling guide: Updated for Patch 3.3.3!
• Estimated Herbalism Leveling 1-450 Time: 5-6 hours for an average player.
• Gold Made from Leveling Herbalism 1-450: 1,500g abouts depending on the player and the server's economy.
• Suggestions: While picking herbs, I suggest every player have a decent amount of empty bag space, be repaired, +5 to herbalism gloves, blare some music, and most importantly, have fun!
• Check out Alchemy 1-450 Leveling Guide or Inscription 1-450 Leveling Guide for a great profession to go with Herbalism.
• Before getting started, go to curse.com, or where ever you choose to get your addons, and download Gatherer. This addon will save points on your map and mini-map of the herbs you extract.

You'll also want to purchase some cheap grey gloves and enchant them with Enchant Gloves - Advance Herbalism which will give you plus five to Herbalism.

This guide will have suggested paths but never be afraid to wonder off if you see some herbs on your mini-map. While leveling an alt, I use to wonder off for herbs a lot; oh look an herb.. oh and another... Sometimes would forget I was even trying to level a character.

• Even though the Barrens isn't an Alliance zone, I really suggest going there even if you're Alliance unless you're too low and worried about getting ganked.

• If you're Alliance looking for possible PvP action you'll want to skill up in Hillsbrad. If you want to be left alone then Wetlands is a better bet. This holds true for Horde as well but low level Horde may be stuck with leveling in Hillsbrad or heading to Stonetalon Mountains instead..
• Once you hit skill level 150, head back to the trainer and learn Expert Herbalism. This requires level 20 and will allow you to reach skill level 225. After training, continue to level in these zones until Herbalism skill level 170.

• Depending on your preference, you can go to either Nothrend starting areas; Howling Fjord or Borean Tundra. However, the zone after this that I suggest is Sholazar Basin which is just above Borean Tundra.

• Sholazar Basin is one of the biggest farming zones so don't be surprised if it's a bit crowded with farmers.

• Once you finish leveling Herbalism to 450, Storm Peaks is a great place to farm regularly for the most widely used herbs in flasks.
