Pair it with Alchemy, or with a second gathering profession to make gold. Node locations come from the original world (an open community database of the classic game) and skill requirements from the WoW Forever game files. New Forever zones like Zephras Isle, Riverglades and the Darkspear Islands are added after launch, once their nodes are known.
