One of the primary tradeskills, Herbalism is the gathering skill used to provide base materials for Alchemy and Inscription. Herbalism allows you to harvest herbs from plants, as well gives you the Find Herbs tracking ability.
The Find Herbs ability works at about half radar range. No herbs spawn within a short distance of roads and a wide radius around NPC towns. Each plant spawns 1-3 of each individual herb, and several plants spawn two types of herbs; for instance, Swiftthistle is only found on Briarthorn and Mageroyal plants. Each plant can usually be harvested only once, after which it disappears until it respawns.

Harvesting
With the exception of Peacebloom and Silverleaf, all plants have a set skill level you must reach before you can harvest. You can possibly fail any gathering attempt, but may retry with no penalty. While hovering over the plant, the color of the “Requires Herbalism” text on the tool tip indicates the difficulty of harvesting the plant; if red, you lack the required skill level to harvest the plant.
