Where Are The Best Places For Picking Herbs In Cataclysm

One of the most lucrative professions you can have in the game of World of Warcraft is the skill of Herbalism. It's not that difficult to level up at the earlier levels but it does get more difficult the more you level. But what doesn't get more difficult at higher levels or as you progress? All good things in an MMORPG are a little challenging. If not, why play?

Below is a list of the Cataclysm Herbs that are available in the game, where they can be located and how many nodes there are in that zone.

Whiptail

Uldum 145, Tol Barad 48

Heartblossom

Deepholm 993

Cinderbloom

Deepholm 428, Twilight Highlands 354, Mount Hyjal 246, Uldum 153, Tol Barad 43, Tol Barad Peninsula 101

Stormvine

Mount Hyjal 88, Abyssal Depths 69, Shimmering Expanse 62, Kelp'thar Forest 40

Azshara's Veil

Shimmering Expanse 90, Tol Barad Peninsula 89, Abyssal Depths 73, Kelp'thar Forest 54, Mount Hyjal 12

Twilight Jasmine

Twilight Highlands 737

One unique Volatile that comes from only plants is Volatile Life, and you will find it in plant nodes approximately 39% of the time. Furthermore, what you can pick from flowers about 10% of the time is the Lifegiving Seed. This transforms the user into a random plant. It puts the player into a sort of trance called Herbouflage, and it triggers two other effects, both called Nourishment. The effects are 96000 health points over thirty seconds, and 72000 mana points restored over those same 30 seconds.

Another great profession to complement Herbalism would definitely be mining. While you are grinding for herb nodes, you can look for mining nodes at the very same time. You are now a gathering expert! Materials are always in high demand by crafters that don't bother to farm for themselves, and there are plenty out there.

Two more professions that are worth mentioning that would complement Herbalism would be Alchemy or Inscriptioning because you would be using the material (herbs) that you just picked to make potion's and elixir's in Alchemy, or you would need them to mill if you are an Inscriptionist and needed to make glyphs. Either one of these methods can make you a great deal of money at the AH, or just stand outside a busy bank prior to a raid, and sell raiding supplies. Plants, potions elixirs, glyphs, volatiles, you name it, if you have this profession with one of the combinations above you are set. You will be in great demand... and very rich.

There are addons to aid you in gathering, and those happen to be Gathermate and GathermateData. Gathermate will keep track of what you picked and where, but GathermateData has known locations of all nodes and where they are. They are a free addon, available through Curse or WoWinterface. A premium addon that is great for gathering and professions in general is Zygor Profession and Achievement Guide addon. It will help you power level any profession and not only that, it will help you to become an achievement whore like myself.
