Herbalism Nodes, Locations, & Skill Requirements

Luxrah

There have been a few changes to Herbalism nodes in Mists of Pandaria. There’s a new set of herbs to be picked in the continent of Pandaria. Some lower level herbs were also changed or removed in Cataclysm. Below you’ll find the essential info for every crafting herb in the game.

Note that there are many quest-specific herbs that can be tracked with Herbalism as well, but they do not provide crafting materials, so we’ve left those out of this guide.

Pandaria Herbs

At launch, all herbs in Pandaria will require high-level Herbalism skill to be able to loot them. In later phases, it will become possible to pick these right from skill level 1, although you will only be able to loot parts instead of whole herbs until you reach the recommended skill level.

All of the herb nodes in Pandaria have a chance to drop Golden Lotus as well as Life Spirit and/or Water Spirit in addition to the herbs listed.
