Horde Herbalism Leveling Guide

Welcome to the Horde Herbalism Guide, we’ve tried to slim this one down a bit for less reading, but the Herbalism routes will also be posted as well. Thanks to Highlander of EU-Terenas for the true version.

Peacebloom and Silverleaf is found in abundance near the main zones of your starting area(s). Elwynn Forest is packed with it, though stay away from Northshire as nothing is around there. I’ve always had a lot of luck south of Goldshire somewhat near the coasts. Peacebloom is usually all over, while Silverleaf is near trees – a lot of other herbs will be like this as well.

Tips for Each Race:

• Tauren: Just do circuits around the base of Thunderbluff.
• Undead: Try starting at Solliden Farmstead in Tirisfal Glades, run north to the mills, loop round and back south past Stillwater Pond and onto Cold Hearth Manor and Nightmare Vale. Then back up to Solliden Farmstead again.
• Blood Elf: You’ll find both herbs in full supply in The Living Wood, south of Farstrider Retreat and east of the East sanctum.

• For Horde herbalism, go west from Crossroads in the Barrens – then head north before the entrance to Stonetalon Mountains and follow around to where the harpies are, then head east back to the Gold road and then south to Crossroads again, picking Mage Royal, Earthroot, Peacebloom and Silverleaf as you go.
• You can also run circuits of Gol’Bolar Quarry in Dun Morogh, collecting Earthroot as you go (if you happen to be PvPing or near Dun Morogh for some reason).
• If you’re collecting Silverleaf and Peacebloom in Dun Morogh, there is also a little bit of Earthroot to be found.

• Same herbalism route as above (for Horde herbalism), but extend it east to Sludge Fen, picking Briarthorn now. You could actually extend your runs to encompass the whole of The Barrens, as this area is absolutely chock full of Briarthorn and other herbs. It’s possibly the best area to get your herbalism trained up.
• Southern part of Silverpine Forest, from Pyrewood Village to the Entrance to Hillsbrad Foothills and back again.
• For herbalism skills level 85 – 125 collecting Stranglekelp also becomes a great way to skill up. Off the coast of The Wetlands or Stranglethorn Vale are good spots. Use of items or spells for Underwater Breathing and swim speed is advised.
• Can also find tons of Stranglekelp near the shores of Ashenvale – near BFD if you are doing instances.

From this point on, it is kind of contested zones and areas. So for anyone on vanilla wow PVP server – this means you will be competing with opposing factions and possibly suffering from gankage.

• Start at the Ramparts in Ashenvale and head north-east to Splintertree Post (don’t follow road, try to go as straight as you can, you’ll find more herbs that way), then head west from Splintertree Post towards the first bridge. Head south from here past the Moonwell and then back west to the ramparts when you reach the edge of the map – but watch out for the elite Silverwing Sentinels as you cross the river. Pick Bruiseweed as you go.
• Stonetalon Mountains. Go to Camp Aparaje, head west to the Grimtotem Post, then south to Malaka’jin, then east to the Greatwood Vale. Nice run of Bruiseweed there.
• The Field of Giants in Southern Barrens or between the two Razorfens.
• You can also run circles around to the north of Mystral Lake for Bruiseweed or to the West of Astranaar in Ashenvale.
• Windshear Crag in Stonetalon Mountains.
• The eastern coast of Loch Modan.
• Circuits of Stonewatch keep in Redridge Mountains.
• Ruins of Zul’Kunda, north-west corner of Stranglethorn Jungle in the Stranglethorn Vale. You can find it along the walls of the ruins.

• Go to Stonetalon Peak and do circuits of the small area around the Alliance town and the Talon Den.
• For higher levels do full circuits of Arathi Highlands, sticking to the mountainsides.
• Nek’mani Wellspring in Stranglethorn Vale.
• The Zuuldaia Ruins, north west corner of Stranglethorn Jungle in the Stranglethorn Vale.
• Go from Black Channel Marsh in the Wetlands to the Angerfang Encampment, taking in Whelgar’s Excavation Site as you go.
• Go from The Field of Giants in southern Barrens to the two Razorfens and back up again.
• Between The Great Lift and Highperch in Thousand Needles.

• Full circuits of Ashenvale.
• Circuits of The Charred Vale in Stonetalon Mountains.
• Full circuits of The Wetlands.
• Full circuits of Hillsbrad Foothills.
• The Misty Reed Strand in Swamp of Sorrows.
• Can also be found all over Stranglethorn Vale.
• Can also be found in spots of Arathi Highlands.

• Full circuits of Swamp of Sorrows and Dustwallow Marsh.
• Liferoot are found on the shores of rivers and oceans in Stranglethorn Vale.
• Fadeleaf can be found in the farm pacthes in western plaguelands, along with Kingsblood and LOTS of khadgars whisker.
• Also appears in the Western Plague Lands

• Same Dustwallow circuit above, still picking up Fadeleaf and Liferoot along the way.
• Many found in Stranglethorn Vale, stick close to many hill sides along the roads. (… I didn’t find any in the Stranglethorn jungle.)

• Full circuits of The Hinterlands.
• The Witherbark Village and Ogre Compound in Arathi Highlands.
• You can also stay in Swamp of Sorrows.
• Many are found all over Stranglethorn Vale.
• You can also find this in the Western and Eastern Plague Lands

• Full circuits of Searing Gorge and Blasted Lands.
• Tanaris also has a lot, but doing full circuits takes time. You can divide Tanaris into four parts and do circuits that way.

• Full circuits of The Hinterlands.
• The Witherbark Village and Ogre Compound in Arathi Highlands.
• You can also stay in Swamp of Sorrows.
• Many are found all over Stranglethorn Vale.
• You can also find this in the Western and Eastern Plague Lands

• Full circuits of Felwood to collect Sungrass. This is actually more of a zig-zag pattern, rather than a circuit (also try to do the Cleansing Felwood quest and pick up Windblossom Berries, Nightdragons, Whipper Roots and the odd Songflower Serenade buff when needed).
• Feralas is also a great place to get Sungrass. You can make two circuits here. One that starts in the very north west at The Ruins of Ravenwind and runs south to The High Wilderness and one around The Lower Wilds, Lariss Pavillion, Grimtotem Compound and Woodpaw Hills, all near Camp Mojache. Also Purple Lotus around ancient buildings.
• You can do circuits around The Forlorn Ridge in Azshara.
• You can try the main path through The Hinterlands too. As you follow it one way, stay about 45 yards from the path and then do the same the other way.
• Also available in the Eastern Plague Lands. Do circuits to pick it up.

• Full circuits of Felwood. See above notes.
• Full circuits of Mannoroc Coven in Desolace and Blasted Lands.
• Demon Fall Canyon in Ashenvale, not many people bother with this area, so although its small, it can be good for farming Gromsblood.

• Two good routes in Azshara are:
  • From The Forlorn Ridge, head south east to the Ravencrest Monument and back again.
  • From the north of the Ruins of Eldareth, head north east to the Jagged Reaches and back again.
• a good area for Golden Sansam is northern Un’goro Crater
