An alternate alliance path that I've found very helpful is Dun Morogh -> Loch Modan -> Wetlands -> Duskwood... and then the rest as you listed.

Thank you for the help though! (There is one spelling mistake on the Black Lotus description that might merit a correction, but all the info is great)

Not so helpful this time around?

Bumping this to the top because I am seeing herbalism questions.

Reported for Sticky! Great work!

Q u o t e:

---

My question is: Which of the alliance trainers can teach me to be an expert herbalist?

All herbalism trainers can train you in all herbalism levels, the same is true with all gathering profession.

Thanks for that, added it to the guide.

Is 200 about right to move on to SoS?

Thanks! Great guide!

Looking for Lunar fungus.

/bump for sticky

Q u o t e:
Is 200 about right to move on to SoS?

Thanks! Great guide!

---

Yes, at skill 200 you should be able to harvest the herbs in SoS. Spend an hour or so picking herbs and your skill should be very high afterwards.

---

Q u o t e:
Looking for Lunar fungus.

---

I assume you are doing your druid poison quest then? Lunar Fungus is not a real herb, it is considered a quest herb. It can be found in the Moonkin caves east of town in Darkshore. At least thats what I think I remember.

---

Q u o t e:
Is 200 about right to move on to SoS?

Thanks! Great guide!

---

Yes, and in fact you can stay there if you choose...Blindweed stays green all the way to 300 and there is an abundance of it in the Swamp. It seems to sell fairly well too, as it's used in Superior Mana Potions (which many casters resort to using, due to the high cost of Major Mana ones).


And to the OP, great post! Thanks for putting this up, hope to see it get a Sticky. ^.^

How long does it usually take you to get up to 300 herbalism? (assuming you start at 1 with a level 60 charecter on an epic mount)

Also, how long to get to 150?

Thanks!

Aww man so it does get up to 300
I gotta work hard then
