I. Introduction
Hello reader! Alchemy and Herbalism is a very great and simple combination
for any adventurer, especially those that like to wonder the land on their
lonesome.
II. Herbalism
Your ability to gather herbs is called Herbalism. It is very easy to achieve
expertise in this profession as herbs are quite abundant and re-spawn very
quickly. Herbalists also have the ability to "sense" nearby herbs, making
your job quite a bit easier!
II A. Why Herbalism?
You pretty much need Herbalism to do anything with Alchemy and vice versa.
Herbalism can also be paired with Skinning and any other profession if you
wish, but I do not recommend Herbalism if your class or other profession uses
a type of "track", such as Mining and Hunters' various mob tracks (not sure
on this part)
II B. How to level Herbalism
It’s really easy. Just run around until you see an herb and bingo! +1 skill.
There is no reason to get lazy about running to get the herbs until herbs get
gray, which is about 100 Herbalism.
II C. Herbs

III. Alchemy
Alchemy is very incredible, for you will be able to augment many of your
abilities, from movement speed to the thickness of your skin. Good Alchemists
are almost always skilled Herbalists, for their ability to gather needed
ingredients at no cost.
III A. Why Alchemy?
Alchemy allows you to augment pretty much all of your stats and some other
abilities, such as increasing your health regeneration and allowing you to
absorb certain types of magic. Some people have said that they are able to
solo higher level mobs with their "free stat buffs", which may be the
equivalent of wearing a free ring(s), to some extent. Some alchemy potions
will be needed for other professions' recipes. Your allies could also use a
boost from your potions in situations such an instance.
III B. Basics for Alchemy
Do your best to attempt recipes which will increase your experience, until
you can no longer gain any expertise from it. IE, make minor healing potions
until it turns 'green'
