You find Mageroyal in World of Warcraft: Forever by gathering it with 50 Herbalism skill, and The Barrens has by far the most of it, so that is the place for the Horde. The Alliance’s best zones are Darkshore, Westfall and Redridge Mountains, and either faction can use Ashenvale.
Below is every zone ranked by spawn points, the picks for each faction, how Tauren can gather it without Herbalism, and what it makes. Skill requirements and spawn counts come from Forever’s own data as of November 8. The counts are approximate, and they are spawn points, not herbs standing at one time.
What You Need to Pick Mageroyal
- Herbalism skill 50. The Mageroyal tooltip in Forever requires it. Earlier herbs such as Peacebloom, Silverleaf and Earthroot get you there.
- Find Herbs turned on, so it shows on your minimap.
Tauren have a shortcut. Blizzard’s notes say Cultivation now has a player-level requirement for every herb, equal to the skill needed to pick it divided by 5. Mageroyal needs 50 skill, so a Tauren can Cultivate it at level 10, and Blizzard also cut Cultivation’s cooldown to 15 minutes.
Every Zone With Mageroyal, Ranked
| Zone | Spawn points | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| The Barrens | About 310 | Horde, from about level 10 |
| Ashenvale | About 70 | Both factions, about level 18 and up |
| Darkshore | About 65 | Alliance, from about level 10 |
| Westfall | About 55 | Alliance, from about level 10 |

Best Mageroyal Spots for the Horde
The Barrens wins easily, with more spawn points than the next four zones combined. Forever also adds a new set of herb nodes there, and it is huge, so you can run wide loops while you quest. If The Barrens is crowded, Silverpine Forest is the backup for Undercity characters, and Ashenvale works once you are around level 18.
Best Mageroyal Spots for the Alliance
Darkshore is the top early pick, and night elves are already next door. For Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes, Westfall is the closest, with Loch Modan and Redridge Mountains nearby. From about level 18, Ashenvale beats all of them for Alliance characters willing to travel. Teldrassil has a little, which is enough to learn on but not enough to farm.
Low-level night elves have one extra source: Lasher Sproutlings, levels 6 to 7, also drop Mageroyal in Teldrassil, around 50, 72.
How to Gather Faster
- Pick the emptier zone. Blizzard adjusted respawn rates for launch crowds, and low-level zones respawn faster during the surge, but a quieter zone is still faster than a busy one.
- Gather everything on the way. Silverleaf, Earthroot and Briarthorn share the same zones, and you will need them too.
- Check the Auction House before you farm. Each stack holds 20, and a low price can beat your time.

What Mageroyal Is Used For
Mageroyal is one of the busiest early herbs in Alchemy. These are the recipes our Alchemy leveling guide uses it for:
| Recipe | Alchemy skill | Other herb |
|---|---|---|
| Minor Mana Potion | About 55 to 65 | A starting herb |
| Elixir of Wisdom | About 90 to 120 | Briarthorn |
| Lesser Mana Potion | About 120 to 130 | Stranglekelp |
Keep a few Elixirs of Wisdom if you know a Tailor, since Gloves of Meditation need them. Casters drink mana potions throughout leveling, which gives these recipes a steady market.
