Today's topic will be rewarding for Herbalists ands Miners. Selling ores and herbs is one of those things that makes you very much gold in World of Warcraft, in other words: Farming. Farming is by far the most simple and easist strategy that exists, it can be done by everybody with a high level gathering profession. So for this topic, I'll give you the routes that I found most optimized to follow in Icecrown and Sholazar Basin.
Sholazar Basin
Sholazar Basin in the heart of all gathering professions. There is Adder's Tongue almost everywhere, and also a pretty amount of Saronite Deposits and Titanium. Therefore, you will also run into a lot of other farmers. I suggest you take on your PvP gear (if any) before starting your routes. Pros of Sholazar:
- Lot's of Herbs and Nodes.
- Easy beatable mobs.
- A lot of other farmers.
- Adder's Tongue / Tiger's Lily sells low on most server due to a lot of farmers in Sholazar.
- You can be unlucky and run into hackers aswell.
Herbalism Route:

Mining Route

Yellow Line = Route
Red Line = Hotspots
Icecrown
In Icecrown you will not find just as many farmers like in Sholazar. But the area is much bigger, and there's not as many nodes and herbs. You will find more Titanium, and Lichbloom's and Icethorn which normally sells for better. Pros of Icecrown:
- A few alternative routes, the area is bigger than Sholazar.
- You can find Icthorn/Lichblooms.
- Nodes and herbs is sometimes blocked by mobs.
- Not far so many spawns as in Sholazar Basin.
Yellow line = Route
Blue Line = Alternative route(s)

Sholozar basin seems to be
Sholozar basin seems to be the hot spot for titanium nodes only thing is there are 50 other people flying around after it as well, after farming there for awhile decided to try icecrown and there doesnt seem to be as much there but very little competition and i came out better in icecrown but if you are after saronite the basin is still my top pick even with all the comp. Happy hunting!!!

Sholazar herbalism route
In sholazar basin herbalism route you are skipping River's Heart... WHY? basicly there are always 2-3 herb spawns ( Rose thingy, long time since I farmed) might depend on server pop and the amount of people farming but the area around lifeblood pillar has no know herb spawns what I know of.

you should consider adding
you should consider adding engineering mote extracting routes for northrend... I know you can farm a ton of air in Scholozar and there is also a very optimal fire route that can be achieved over dragonblight, wintergrasp, and borean tundra.
Just some ideas! Good guide!
