Not sure if this is a bug, or working as intended, but I have noticed that since the patch, in every expansion but BFA and classic, my herbalists have been receiving only 1 herb per node. They are all equipped with the Gnomish Army Knife, so they are receiving that skill bonus, but again, it seems to be in the older expansion zones.
Any other herbalists encountering this as well?
Check to make sure you still have trained those profession tiers. Without training, you have a skill of 0 and will only get one herb per node. Once trained, you can start getting skill-ups from that content and more then 1 herb per node.
For WoD (?), Legion, and BfA, skill shouldn’t matter when gathering herbs, only your rank. Prior to WoD, you should get petals and stems rather than entire herbs when gathering below your adjusted skill level.
Wow, what a dope. That did it! Thank you very much!
New tier system is throwing everything off. Glad that solved it for you.
3 seems still a little too low. You have to have a have a mob spawn after picking herb to get a decent amount. Just an opinion.
