Leveling 1-300

Method Skill requirements are from the client; 'Most nodes' ranks zones by Classic spawn counts (vmangos), which Forever may change; 'Seen in Forever' = gathered there by 2+ players.

Approach: you can gather each node from its required skill and it slowly stops giving points; follow your leveling zones and gather whatever you can.

Node map

How to read Pick a zone above. Each row: node, client skill requirement, Classic node count; 'Seen' = gathered in that zone by 2+ players (lowest skill in brackets). Exact spots need the next addon version (5% grid, shown once 2+ players agree) - none yet.

UnconfirmedNo herb observations yet: the addon looked for the wrong herb-gathering spell name; fixed on 10-29 and ships with the next version. For now it's client requirements plus Classic counts.

Launch week

Method We have no auction-house data, so there are no prices here - only who needs what and how much. Amounts = raw materials for one 1-300 run of each profession's route (bars converted back to ore with the client's smelting recipes).

What crafters will need from you

Material	All professions	Who needs it (qty)	Nodes (Classic)
Peacebloom	92	Alchemy 92	604
Silverleaf	67	Alchemy 67	736
Bruiseweed	65	Alchemy 55, First Aid 10	550
Liferoot	55	Alchemy 55	311
Sungrass	50	Alchemy 50	308
Goldthorn	47	Alchemy 47	377
Wild Steelbloom	40	Alchemy 40	333
Kingsblood	35	Alchemy 23, Leatherworking 12	568
Briarthorn	28	First Aid 22, Alchemy 6	621

Arthas' Tears	7	Alchemy 7	81

• Top three by demand: Peacebloom, Silverleaf, Bruiseweed. The more people leveling professions, the more these are contested in week one.
• 'Nodes' adds up Classic spawn points across all zones (vmangos) - only good for comparing which is rarer; Forever may differ. High demand plus few nodes = scarcest at launch.
