Best Stats and Gear Guide for Herbalism in Dragonflight

All stats have their uses, but for Herbalism we recommend focusing on Finesse and mass Arathor's Spear farming, as it tends to be the most useful, and thus most valuable herb.

Perception is a decent secondary stat to aim for in order to maximize your rare loot drops, with one of the best being the Leyline Residue obtained from Irradiated herb nodes.

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 specific 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
Proficient Sickle	Tool	Blacksmithing
Artisan Sickle	Tool	Blacksmithing
Weavercloth Gardening Hat	Accessory	Tailoring
Artisan Gardening Hat	Accessory	Tailoring
Gardener's Basket	Accessory	Leatherworking
Stonebound Herbalist's Pack	Accessory	Leatherworking

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 specialization, faction, or 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 - Algari Perception, Enchant Tool - Algari Deftness, or Enchant Tool - Algari Finesse.

Use Blacksmithing-crafted Ironclaw Razorstone and Alchemy-crafted Phial of Truesight to temporarily increase your gathering stats while going out Herbing.

Herbalism cannot make gear for use by other professions.
