Herbalism And Alchemy Guide: Make 1400g an hour!
With routes for maximum profit!
Introduction
If you are looking for a way to make 1.4k gold an hour, then you may consider getting Herbalism and Alchemy to 450! It should not take a very long time; I used 4 days to skill both to 450. However, the real money lies within level 450 of both professions. So if you have another profession, and you are not making a ton of gold on it. Then I believe Alchemy / Herbalism is the way to go. You can also make potions / elixirs / flasks / trinkets for yourself with Alchemy! The three trinkets in Wotlk are the following:
Mercurial Alchemist Stone
For Healers and/or ranged DPS.
Indestructible Alchemist"s Stone
For Tanks.
Mighty Alchemist"s Stone
For DPS.
There are many reasons to pick Alchemy:
- Mixology: Twice the amount of time on self-made elixirs / flasks!
- You can make Potions / Elixirs / Flasks and more to improve your performance!
- You can make cool potions, like invisibility potions, speed potions, water-walking potions, and more!
- You can make trinkets for your own character!
- With Mixology, you also get an increased effect of the elixirs / flasks you make!
- You can transmute Gems/Elementals into other items!
And there are many more! So please follow this guide, if you wish to be able to make insane amounts of gold all day!
The Guide:
These are the places that you are going to want to farm herbs:
- Borean Tundra
- Sholazar Basin
- Icecrown
- The Storm Peaks
- Zul'Drak
The other zones are not as efficient to herb. So you shouldn't waste your time in those zones.
The Route:
The most efficient places to herb are listed in green and the less, but still efficient places are listed in red.
The first zone: Borean Tundra!
In this zone you will recieve Tiger Lily, Fire Leaf / Fire Seed and Goldclover. Goldclover is going to be the first herb you will pick in Northrend.
And remember to keep all the herbs you collect!
The second zone: Sholazar Basin!
Sholazar Basin is a herber's dream! Pick up Tiger lily's around waterholes, and Adder's Tongue / Goldclover.
Again, keep all the herbs you pick up.
The third zone: Icecrown!
Congratulations! This is your first high-level herbalism zone! This place will not generally give you alot of herbs.
But you should check out the places masked in green for a nice amount of herbs!
The fourth zone: The Storm Peaks!
This is by far the best map to farm herbs! Try creating a route to fly through this zone.
Because you are going to pick up ALOT of herbs in this particular zone!
The sixth and final zone: Zul'Drak!
This is the ONLY place in Northrend where you can pick up Talandra's Rose. You also get a nice amount of Goldclover from this place.
The snowy area is covered with Frozen Herb, than can contain Tiger lily, Goldclover and Talandra's Rose.
Making potions / elixirs / flasks!
So you have a bunch of herbs? Great! You are ready to make gold! The main flowers you are going to want to farm are:
- Goldclover
- Deadnettle
- Tiger Lily
- Lichbloom
- Adder's Tongue
- Talandra's Rose
The potions / elixirs / flasks you want to create:
If you make these potions, and farm those places regularely. You can make up to 2k gold a day. Just invest 1-2 hours picking flowers, and making one of the above potions / elixirs / flasks out of them! Easy money! And you only pay 40s per potion / elixir / flask you make! ( You have to have something to put them into )
Thank you very much for reading my guide. And I hope that you will make as much gold as I can!
