Herbalism is one of the different professions you can choose when playing WoW. Herbalism is a great profession for both newbies and experienced players. For newbies it allows you to start making money right away, and more experienced players can use this profession to make massive amounts of gold.

If you are just starting out and have already decided you want to pursue Herbalism, I suggest you choose Undead as your race if you are with Horde and Human race if you are with the Alliance. Tauren are another good option as they start with a 15 point bonus in this profession.

If one of your big goals is to make a lot of gold, then combining the Herbalism profession with mining will best allow you to do this. This combination will let you make vast sums of Gold in short periods of time rather easily. If you want to master the herbalism profession and create something of value, combine it with Alchemy.

Before you start your profession you’ll need to be level 5. Initailly you won’t be able to search for any herb other than Silverleaf. You can find Silverleaf by hitting the “find herb” command which become active on completion of the Herbalism training. Silverleaf has more monetary value than copper so use this as a money making tactic when you first start out.

If you travel just a short distance from the starting area you’ll be able to find the Silverleaf herb. If you spend 8 or so minutes gathering this herb you will have a complete stack which can be sold for at least 1 piece of gold in the auction house. It may not sound like much but for a brand new character that’s pretty good going.

The value of Silverleaf and other similar herbs will change from day to day in the Auction House. Keep an eye on the value and cash in when they are selling for a high price. You’ll need to spend a lot of time initially searching for low value items, in time however you will be able to start searching for higher value herbs. Ghost Mushrooms and Black Lotus (which you can get in the Hinterlands) are 2 examples that can bring you good gold profits for little work.

Herbalism is one of the most lucrative professions in WoW. It’s a good option for those who want to make a lot of gold in minimal time and also for people who are just looking to make enough to get by. Keep working on your Herbalism skills and this profession will reward you big time.
