The first Cataclysm herbalism zone we will be taking a look at is Mt. Hyjal. This rugged, fiery mountain is likely to be the first zone herbalists hit once they move past Wrath herbs. Not only is Hyjal a good choice for leveling herbalism until around 475, it is also chock full of Cinderbloom and often less densely populated by farmers than higher-level zones. There is also a good deal of Stormvine in the lush Northern half of Hyjal, as well as a handful of Azshara’s Veil around the various lakes and rivers.
The route I have provided is a general idea of how to path around Hyjal, but given that the herbs are dispersed fairly evenly, the path is more of a suggestion than a strict guide. When leveling herbalism at the Cataclysm level, your other choice of zone is Vashj’ir, the 3-subzoned coral reef area. Although Vashj’ir has its own fair supply of herbs, there is a huge disadvantage – you will be swimming for your herbs. Even with the Abyssal Seahorse mount provided early in the questline, it can still get inconvenient, especially if the alternative is epic flying. Vashj’ir has a decent amount of Azshara’s Veil and Stormvine, but unless you are specifically seeking those herbs and do not mind swimming around, Hyjal is an easier zone overall to farm.
In conclusion, Hyjal is (at least in my opinion…) the ideal zone to level your herbalism to 475. It is stuffed with Cinderbloom, and also an okay source of Stormvine and Azshara’s Veil. Next we will be taking a look at Deepholm! ^-^
