Herbalism Routes
Herb loops from Peacebloom to Black Lotus, with skill breakpoints and what alchemists pay for.
These guides cover Herbalism from 1 to 300 and the herb farms that still pay at level 60 on vanilla-era realms such as WoW Forever. The skill guides follow the herbs in order: Peacebloom, Silverleaf and Earthroot in every starting zone; Briarthorn, Bruiseweed and Kingsblood in the Barrens, the Wetlands and Duskwood; Liferoot, Goldthorn and Khadgar's Whisker in Arathi Highlands and Stranglethorn Vale; then Dreamfoil, Gromsblood and Plaguebloom in Felwood, Un'Goro and the Plaguelands, with Icecap in Winterspring.
The Herbalism 1-300 leveling guide maps the whole climb and the trainer ranks, and each range has its own loop, from the starter herb routes to the Felwood herb farming route. At 60 the Black Lotus farming routes join Burning Steppes, Eastern Plaguelands, Winterspring and Silithus into one circuit. Every guide lists the herbs per zone, what alchemists buy and honest gold per hour: roughly 1–3 gold on the early loops, roughly 15–30 in Felwood and roughly 20–40 on the lotus circuit with an epic mount, before any lotus.
In ForeverBot you tick Herbalism in Professions, keep Remember nodes on and press Start: the bot rides between known herbs, picks what your skill allows, loots and sells when the bags fill.

Frequently asked questions
What is the fastest way to level Herbalism to 300?
Pick herbs in the zones you already quest in, train each rank before the cap and keep Find Herbs on. From level 40 a mount roughly doubles your speed. For the last hundred points Felwood is the best single zone, because Gromsblood, Golden Sansam, Dreamfoil and Plaguebloom grow there together.
How long does Black Lotus take to respawn?
No timer holds on every realm. Players report respawns measured in hours rather than minutes, and the lotus shares its spots with other high level herbs, so where it appears changes. Keep your own log of where and when you picked each one, and run a circuit across several zones instead of camping one spot.
Is Herbalism or Mining better for gold?
Both pay, and they pair well on the same loop. Herbalism levels faster because it needs no tool and herbs grow densely, while Mining earns more per node in the middle levels. In Eastern Plaguelands at 60, Herbalism alone makes roughly 30–55 gold an hour and Mining alone roughly 25–50.
