Gain herbalism levels on Grey level Herbs

[Nonpareill]

Not exactly sure if there was a change in MoP that allowed this or not, so im not sure if its intended or not.

Delete this post if this is intended or a repost.

Anyway, Many times, I was able to level up my herbalism by picking strictly Grey leveled herbs. And this isnt a rare Occurrence either. I gain levels from grey herbs almost every other herb I pick.

Green-Tea Leaf is grey to me yet it still levels me up.

Just thought id share, cause as far as I remember, grey herbs, ore, etc never gave you levels anymore.

If you are a tauren, it is because you have +racial bonus to herb but your actual level herb is still green, but it will show on mouseover of the herb whatever your max profession level is including bonus. same applies to all racial skills (mining/alch/etc).

I noticed i was getting skill from grey mining nodes today too, so there is something to this.

This may be what it was.

Is it possible that the Guild perk is procing?

usin tools for 10+ skill points which allows 10 skillups from gray, is my guess

i leveled my mining 525-600 off strictly ghost iron
if i remember right this happened with fel iron ore in bc and was fixed

i was still getting exp from grey nodes too so im pretty sure they meant to make it like that.

It could be this as well. Herbalist's Spade - Item - World of Warcraft

A lot of items are giving +5 +10 to gathering professions.

Ghost Iron with a gnomish army knife turns grey at 590. so it is still green from 590 to 600.
