Herbalism in WoW Forever

What Herbalism does in WoW Forever

The Incense Candle is Blizzard’s own example of the stacking rule: its Intellect doesn’t stack with a mage’s Arcane Intellect, so it matters most in a group without a mage.

The Greenhouse and the Seed Hybridizer turn herbs into something you grow at a camp as well as gather, per Wowhead’s beta guide; where the seeds come from hasn’t been described.

Does the Herbalism camp buff stack with class buffs?

The class buff that the beta client says Herbalism’s camp buff doesn’t stack with.

Get Herbalism free in the starter zone

A quest at about level 3–4 in the starter zones rewards a choice of three manuals: Herbalism, Mining or Skinning. Per Wowhead’s roundup of Blizzard’s panels, the manual teaches you the profession if you don’t have it yet and don’t already have two professions.

Herbalism recipes in the beta client

The beta client (build 1.60.1.70755) has no Herbalism recipes apart from the camp objects above.

Herbalism in the Legacy system

Forever’s account-wide Legacy system gives tradeskill Legacy Points only for primary professions that aren’t gathering ones, so Herbalism earns none. These perks still touch it (first rank, as seen in the demo):

• Bountiful Harvest (Professions tree): Find 20% more Scarce materials through Mining, Herbalism and Skinning.
• Working Overtime (Professions tree): 4% higher chance of a skill-up from primary, secondary and class tradeskills.
• Dedicated Study (Professions tree): Raises your lowest primary or secondary tradeskill by 1. Once both primary tradeskills and all three secondary ones reach 300, it gives 2 to 4 of a random Elemental Essence instead. 25 sec cast, 23 hr cooldown.
• Reagent Economy (Resourcefulness tree): Class abilities no longer need reagents bought from vendors, and Tier 1 camping features cost no reagents to craft.
• Field Guide (Adventure tree): The cooldown for adding camping features is 8% shorter.
• Permanence (Resourcefulness tree): Your long-duration party and raid buffs, and the benefits of resting at a camp, last 50% longer.
