Herbalism help

I am a returning player and just started a new character and picked herbalism as a skill.

I am at level 68/300 at the moment and i cant seem to learn anything else and i can’t pick any other plants than sliverleaf, earthroot and peacebloom.

i am missing something with this skill…

please help…

Old world herbs are tied to specific zones in line with the old levelling system e.g. level 300 herbs being found in level 50-60 zones.

This is likely because the zone you’re in only spawns these herbs.

Vanilla professions don’t really make much sense with the current scaling tech since you could be level 50 in a zone with level 20 herbs.

You should be able to pick everything assuming you’re playing current and not Classic. I assume you’re talking about this character so that would rule out Classic.

In current if you try to harvest a resource, like a herb, without sufficient skill you will usually loot several ‘fragments’ of that resource. You can combine 10 fragments to make one whole.

So if you have 10/300 and tried to pick a Golden Sansem for example, you would loot a few fragments instead of whole units. You don’t need to go to the trainer to learn specific skills to pick certain plants, you can just do it, and you get better results with higher skill levels.

Keep in mind that they’ve now segmented trade skills for each expansion. So if you go to Outland you will need to learn Outland Herbalism to gain skill from herbing in Outland. You can only learn a specific expansion’s skill levels in that expansion zone so you’ll need to find a Herbalism trainer in Outland to teach you Outland Herbalism.

The exception being Classic level and Cataclysm, as they share the same trainers.
