This WoW Herbalism Guide (updated for patch 3.3.3) will take you through the best routes to get your Herbalism level to 375. It can be used by anyone to get their skill up; however, watch the zone levels in case you are gathering with a lower level character. Before starting this guide be sure you have Herbalism trained and your bags are empty, as you will be collected lots of herbs.
If you are using this guide to get herbs to use with Alchemy keep in mind that this guide is designed to raise your skill level as quickly as possible, but might not provide you with the herbs you need to make worthwhile Alchemy recipes. If you are power leveling your Alchemy I suggest using this guide to get your Herbalism up initially and then buy the extra supplies you need off the auction house to make additional lower level Alchemy recipes. If gold is a problem check out this Gold Guide.
When following these routes remember that the lines outlined on the map are just basic routes to follow and that the herbs will be spread around on both sides of the lines drawn on each map. Also, if you find you like a certain area or are having a very easy time collecting herbs there then stay in the area longer until all the herbs turn green or gray.
