After you have learned the beginning-level herbalism, you will gain the "Find Herbs" ability, which will display nearby herbs as yellow dots on your mini-map. To use it, simply drag the icon down to your action bar and press the corresponding button. Be sure to pay attention to keeping it active otherwise you may miss important plants!

If while adventuring you spot a yellow dot on your mini map, you've found a plant! Move your cursor over to your mini-map and hold it over the dot. A small window will appear and display the name of the plant. If you decide you want to harvest it, begin running toward it. Watch out for any monsters in your path that may attack you.

Plants can be found underwater and even in caves.

You can also find Herbs in instances, which are not listed. Herbs can also be found in treasure chests or when killing certain monsters.

• If you're in a party with more than one herbalist, share the plants you find with them.
• Multiple people can gain skill off the same plant if the first person avoids picking the herbs off the plant. After the plant's contents box appears, simply press "Escape" to stand up, and the second person can then gather and have a chance to raise his or her skill.
• Don't pick plants while fighting. Wait until the party is safe before moving over to the plant.
• If you're a Warlock or Hunter you can send your pet in to attack a monster standing on a herb, loot the herb, then run!
• Don't run off to a plant by yourself without letting the other party members know. If there are monsters in the way, ask the party to clear them for you. Basically, don't do anything to jeopardize the safety of the party while you collect plants.
• There is an enchant that can increase your Herbalism skill allowing you to pick higher level Herbs
• Herbalism is a great way to make money. Sell Herbs to other players in the Auction House.
• Some vendors sell herbs, rarely. You can also find Herbs in some chests. Some monsters commonly drop herbs.
• Sometimes Bloodvine drops from enemies or can be harvested from Zul'Gurub herbs if the player has a Blood Scythe.
• Tailors can create special herb carrying bags that have extra slots to carry Herbs.
