Best Stats and Gear Guide for Herbalism in Dragonflight
This page details the best The War Within Herbalism stats and gear, and how they can be used to maximize profession output.
Best Crafting Stats for Herbalism in The War Within
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:
Best Herbalism Gear
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.
Best Herbalism Consumables
Use Blacksmithing-crafted Ironclaw Razorstone and Alchemy-crafted Phial of Truesight to temporarily increase your gathering stats while going out Herbing.
Gear Herbalism Can Make For Other Professions
Herbalism cannot make gear for use by other professions.
