Once you reach 75, you need to head back to a trainer to learn Journeyman Herbalism. Then head to northern Barrens (I kept Westfall routes in this guide as an option) and run the following route until you’re level 100, then head to the southern Barrens. Southern Barrens is a great place to level to 150. Levels 135-150 will be a bit slow, feel free to run around Stonetalon Mountain or eastern Hillsbrad Foothills if you want new scenery.

Head to the Wetlands or Hillsbrad Foothills (although this guide will have you head to Arathi Highlands next) and level to 170 by collecting Briarthorn, Kingsblood and Liferoot. After Wetlands you’ll be right next to Arathi Highlands where you’ll stay until 225. You can start selling these herbs on the Auction House.

Arathi Highlands is an awesome place for leveling herbalism once you get to 170. You’ll spend a lot of time there gathering Wild Steelbloom, Bruiseweed, Fadeleaf, Goldthorn, Liferoot and Khadgar’s Whiskers. Stay there until you are level 225, and don’t leave earlier because you’ll have a rough time finding a more efficient place to level. Goldthorn sells for a lot of gold on the Auction House

Arathi Highlands

start gathering Goldthorn and Liferoot until you’re level 230, then you’ll be able to start collecting all the Sungrass you keep running by. Collect Goldthorn, Liferoot, Sungrass, Purple Lotus, and Golden Samsan, for this guide stay until you’re 275. Alchemists need a lot of Sungrass while leveling to 300, so make sure you sell it for a lot of gold on the Auction House

Finally, we’ll head to the plaguelands to level to 300 before heading to the Outlands. Enter from Tirisfal Glades or Chillwind camp and do the loop. When you run past Plaguebloom make a mental note of where it is to come by later. Once you hit 285 turn around and run by all the plaguebloom you saw and you should hit 300 before returning to Chillwind/Tirisfal Glades.

Next, this guide sends you to Outlands to learn level 300+, your faction’s Herbalism trainer are located:

To keep leveling Herbalism to 350 following this route in Hellfire Peninsula. This guide’s focus is to get to 450 asap, so there’s really no need to go anywhere else in Outlands unless you need the herbs for leveling Inscription of Alchemy.

Hellfire Peninsula

To learn Grand Master Herbalism at level 350:

To continue leveling Herbalism head to either the Holwing Fjord or Borean Tundra and start collecting Goldclover until level 400. Goldclover is valuable on the Auction House. You can make a lot of gold while leveling Herbalism

Leveling from 400-435

At 400 you can head to Sholazar Basin where you can continue picking Tiger Lily and Goldclover while also begin picking Adder’s Tongue. Stay here until 435 when you can finally pick Icethorn and Lichbloom in Storm Peaks.

425-450
Circuits around Stormpeaks to collect Lichbloom (425) and Icethorn (435). Both of these herbs can also be found in Icecrown, depending on how busy each respective zone is.
