New player here playing retail. I have my class to 25 and my herbalism at 90. But when I got to a trainer the only thing listed to train is cataclysm herbalism and I can’t train that. Is there anything before that? I thought I read next would be journeymen but no trainers I find have that. What am I missing?
You don’t actually train herbalism. Not at those levels, anyhow. For a long time, you’re just picking, over and over, until you hit around 60 and then start to train Outland and Northrend herbalism. So, for now, don’t worry too much about it… you’ll still skill up bit by bit. (It maxes at 300, by the way.)

Professions are very different than they were before. Not fully knowledgeable about then but each expansion is only one time learning to unlock for the expansion. Vanilla (which you are in only requires you to train one time from trainers in vanilla. TBC for TBC. Etc. Though you may have to train recipes and all the basic “skill” is only a one time thing now.
you don’t need to train journeyman herbalism. There is new training for every expansion. The cataclysm trainers are in stormwind, the BC trainers are in Outland ect.
Why was this changed anyways? To curb easily leveling professions with garrisons?
More like it hardly matters about most lower level profs anyhow, these days. Pretty much only the last two expacs are considered to have any relevance. But herbing does bring the exp, so…
probably yes
but it was a pain to level up professions from scratch
I think it was changed so you can pick up any expansion and start gathering i stead of starting at the beginning and getting 900 points before you can get the new stuff.
Meh, I dunno. I have all the tradeskills maxed on multiple characters by now. This would seem to make it harder if you wanted the mogs from earlier expansions. Not only do you need the materials to make the mog but now you need a lot of those materials to level up that expansion as well.
Basically.
It makes it easier for a player with no professions to start a profession in BfA, also for players to switch professions.
Between these profession changes and level scaling it is much harder now for leveling players to earn gold by farming mats. I think devs think this is a good thing, because it will “encourage” people to level up to max in order to finally stop being poor.
Poverty isn’t any more fun in a videogame you’re paying for than it is in real life, but I guess devs think it is.
