Best Stats and Gear Guide for Herbalism in Dragonflight

All stats have their uses, but for Herbalism we recommend focusing on Perception in order to maximize your rare loot drops, which should maintain their value throughout Dragonflight.

Finesse is also a strong stat which can increase your base material yield significantly. Finally, Deftness is also a decent stat, but the time you actually spend gathering is not as high as the time spent looking for nodes, especially if you are hunting for the rarer modified nodes exclusively!

For more information on profession stats and gear, please refer to our dedicated guide below:

Herbalists, like most other professions, can use three pieces of gear at once, 1 tool and 2 accessories. Blue-quality items are best in slot.

Item	Type	Source
Draconium Sickle	Tool	Blacksmithing
Khaz'gorite Sickle	Tool	Blacksmithing
Wildercloth Gardening Hat	Accessory	Tailoring
Master's Wildercloth Gardening Hat	Accessory	Tailoring
Floral Basket	Accessory	Leatherworking
Lavish Floral Pack	Accessory	Leatherworking

As shown in the image above, quality is a big factor in the stats you can get from the gear. Green versions are bind on equip and from trainer recipes, but blue versions require faction / renown grinding for their recipe and are bind on pickup, requiring you to submit a Crafting Order for them.

Also, remember to enchant your primary tool with Enchant Tool - Draconic Deftness, Enchant Tool - Draconic Finesse, or Enchant Tool - Draconic Perception.

Herbalism cannot make gear for use by other professions.
