Easy Herbalism leveling + Skip Outlands entirely

[ohmaigawd]

Hey, today I found a bug (not sure what caused it) that gives green herbs almost 100% level up chance.
Tested on two herbs - Sorrowmoss (Goes green at lvl 335) and Sungrass (Green at level 280).
Proof:
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]

If you do this you can stay in Swamp of Sorrows from 300-360 herbalism skill and you can go straight to Northrend and don't waste any time in Outlands at all!

I don't know why the skill ups have so high chance (missed only 1 skill up leveling from 280-360 today) but I'm sure it's not intended

However, green mining nodes don't have so high chance to increase your level.

Tested on 17.2.2011, EU retail realm, in a guild with Working Overtime.

Looks like they messed up changing Plaguebloom to Sorrowmoss. I saw it earlier on Wowhead, but didn't really try it.

Thanks for the guide

Edit: Confirmed, hopped on my 330 herblist and it's still green.

I just leveled herbalism on a character 2 weeks ago and I can say this is not always the case, sorrowmoss did skip levels from 300-350 or so, and though it was a higher chance of getting rather than missing it, I don't feel like this is an exploit more so than a tip.
