So, what are the benefits of leveling with herbalism and mining? Well, a player just tested it out, and it seems there are quite a few perks. Gathering professions are like the snack breaks of leveling – relaxing, profitable, and occasionally interrupted by a mob that just has to get in your way. Keep in mind that this isn’t the fastest method for leveling, but let’s dive into the benefits!
This player spent around 6 hours gathering herbs and mining on their Druid (which, let’s face it, is cheating when it comes to gathering professions). Realistically that’s not bad for 10 levels and 170k gold – that’s a nice cherry on top! Sure, the gold per hour might not be “CEO of Azeroth” level, but hey, you’re gaining XP and avoiding a raid boss yelling at you in a dungeon.
How about you? Do you prefer casually gathering while leveling, or do you dive into dungeons for that sweet, fast XP, praying the tank doesn’t suddenly “DC” mid-pull?
