About Herbalists
Herbalists are obliged to carefully harvest the potent herbs that are found throughout the game. As they travel across zones, their senses tend to seek out the rarest flora, which can be transformed by the other professions into precious recipes. Herbalists can supply an abundant quantity of reagents for themselves, which aids during the crafting process, or they can choose to sell the herbs for profit.
Herbalists can locate herbs on their map with the help of their keen sense of the placement and growth of flora. Similarly, they can also harvest easily by right-clicking the located herb. Yes, they don’t require any special tool to gather the herbs, and as you gather a greater number of herbs, your Herbalism profession will drastically grow.
