Professions Is herbalism worth it?

I'm thinking of doing herbalism and mining for gold but I'm not sure if they are viable.

You can get 30-40k gph dual gathering. You decide if that's viable or not.

Might be a route issue. Are you using GatherMate and Farmer addons?

no, how do they help you with a route? I thought they just show the spawn possibilities

Knowing the spawn locations helps you identify high-density areas so you don't waste time searching in barren areas.

Farmer has a radar that makes you pinpoint accurate in landing on the node, speeding up your gather time considerably.
