Work around the central countryside without cutting through Stromgarde or hostile farms. Fadeleaf requires 160, Goldthorn 170 and Khadgar’s Whisker 185. This is a suggested search circuit; detour to tracked nodes. It does not show guaranteed spawn positions.

Cataclysm and Mists: reworked-world map

Use this map on Cataclysm and Mists realms. The original-terrain routes above apply to Era, TBC and Wrath. Gathering skill follows your Classic realm’s profession rules; Retail-only phasing notes do not apply.

Check small hills and raised ground through the marsh. Detour to tracked herbs; give the circuit time to replenish and avoid opposing faction towns. Markers identify approximate areas. Lines are suggested searches; they are not fixed spawn locations or a measured yield guarantee.
