How to Grind efficiently with herbalmism and Alchemy, thus leveling faster!

[kentril]

Are you tired of grinding those same old quests and mobs, losing health, getting bored and then dying, or quitting your session of wow in frustration??

Well the answer is simple!

Alchemy and Herbalism

Currently you can learn 2 proffesions, and a couple useless ones. The main proffesions (limit is 2) are mostly used for gold making or raiding.

Herbalism allows you to harvest nearby nodes of herbs, and without its counterpart, alchemy, it is a great gold making proffesion.

Alchemy, Is a proffesion which allows you to turn those herbs into potions, which can provide a variety of buffs and restore health, mana, rage, or energy / runic power.


Now go to your main city guards ( Undercity, Orgrimmar, Silvermoon, Thunderbluff ) talk to a guard, And search for proffesions, Find Herbalism.
Go to the marker on your map ( HOTKEY M ) And go learn it. Then, go to talk to a guard again, and go learn Alchemy.

HERBALISM
First, we have to level herbalism.

So i will be uploading some pics i have skillfully edited in microsoft paint for the routes.

NOTE


This is horde only, because i am currently leveling a horde character. I could make an alliance, but i notice alot of mmowned is curently leveling horde, so i am making this to try to benefit the most of you.




Herbalism 1-75
You will be going to mulgore, Thunderbluffs outlying zone.
Pick Silverleaf, Peacebloom, Earthroot and Mageroyal until your herbalism skill is 75. Head back to a main city and train in journalism in herbalism.




75-100- Northern Barrens




100-150 - Southern Barrens


Go train again!

150-170 - Hillsbrad Foothills


170-225- Arathi Highlands

Train again at your main city!

225-275- Feralas I forgot to map this one so i copied it.

275-300 Western plaguelands

Now head to hellfire peninsula, and go train at Ruak Stronghorn Thrallmar for herbalism.

300-350 Hellfire peninsula


350-400 Howling Fjord
Train first at Marjory Kains in Vengeance Landing



400-435 Sholazar Basin


435-450 Storm Peaks



You can choose to level them to the max at once, or do it while your leveling. It does not matter. Once you have leveled herbalism high enough, save the materials you get from keeping the nodes loot.

Now, i will list a guide to level alchemy because it is quite good, here it is


WoW Alchemy Guide 1 - 450 | Alchemy Leveling Guide








NOW WE GET TO THE IMPORTANT PART, POTIONS

Potions are the entire reason i created this guide, because if you are in battle, and you use some potions to increase damage, speed, restore health mana, energy, or anything else, it will allow you to kill mobs faster. Thus allowing you to grind faster, Lower eating times, Yes you may laugh at this, but most people eat and drink after a pull, so that is 30 seconds. If you can cut back on 15 seconds or so, You save 25 minutes per 100 pulls. That is quite alot. It can cut back on your leveling time by 1/4th for 1-60 so far, Because it usually takes 1-2 hours to level, cutting back on eating, and increasing on damage is a MUST.

For low levels, grinding and questing with this is semi useful.
