Mount Hyjal — Obsidium, Cinderbloom and Stormvine base mapwow-farming.info · Cataclysm zones · Retail / WoW Classic Cataclysm and Mists
Fly around the northern green areas and rocky margins, detouring to tracked ore or herbs. Classic requires 425 for Obsidium, Cinderbloom and Stormvine. Stormvine is less common here; underwater Vashj’ir is an alternative. Quest phases can affect the scenery and accessible nodes. Markers identify approximate areas.

Twilight Highlands — Twilight Jasmine base mapwow-farming.info · Cataclysm zones · Retail / WoW Classic Cataclysm and Mists
Search the grassy interior, staying out of the mountains and corrupted southwestern ground. Classic Twilight Jasmine requires Herbalism 525, so it is a maximum-skill farm rather than a way to start the 500–525 stage. Markers identify approximate areas. Lines are suggested searches; they are not fixed spawn locations or a measured yield guarantee.
