-Swiftthistle can only be procured by picking other herbs like Mageroyal and Briarthorn.
-Briarthorn and Golden Sansam grow almost exclusively at the base of trees.
-Bruiseweed tends to grow near structures or hills
-Some herbs like Sungrass, Fadeleaf, Kingsblood and Golden Sansam are higher level herbs, so it’s best to level up your herbalism with lower level herbs like Peacebloom & Silverleaf, then move to Mageroyal, Briarthorn and Bruiseweed, to Kingsblood & Fadeleaf, and finally to Sungrass and Golden Sansam. Starting from Quel’Thalas/Tirisfal and making your way through Silverpine, Hillsbrad and Arathi should level your Herbalism up naturally.
-If you pick a high level herb with low level herbalism, you’ll only receive pieces of it, like stems or petals, that you can combine 10 of to make one full herb.
-After collecting your herbs, turn them into pigments using the Alchemy or Inscription profession (it will take 10 herbs to make one pigment), then go to your housing neighbourhood and use the Dye Station in the town center to make your dyes.
