Best zones to gather in

Zones ranked by one gather from each kind of herb node there. This ranks what a zone holds, not gold per hour: the data has no node counts, positions or respawn times. It also names at most three zones for each node, so a zone can hold more than is listed.

How a value is worked out

• About per gather adds up, for each find: its chance × the middle of its amount range × its lowest buyout here. A herb found 98% of the time, 1 to 3 at a time, at 50 copper each counts 0.98 × 2 × 50 = 98 copper.
• A chance is how many of the recorded gathers gave the item. Finds under 1 in 1,000 and items that cannot be sold to another player are left out.
• A price counts only with at least 3 listings: one or two listings can be one seller’s price. Every value is before the auction house’s cut and deposit, and the lowest listing may sell before you get to it.
• Nodes that share a name and skill are one row: its finds come from the one with the most recorded gathers, its zones from all of them.
