Just going off the top of my head, I'm trying to think of a short/easy dungeon to run, but with multiple floors for more herby goodness. Maybe...Ciar Normal? I can't remember if it had guaranteed herbs on every floor or not. If that's the case, would Rabbie be a better alternative? Or...I never tried, but is l-rodding in Solea/Ant Hell actually a good way to find herbs?
I'm sure there's some herbalists out there, share your secrets with me! :D I'm currently r7, but that was obtained a looooooong time ago before shadow missions kinda killed herb hunting for most grinding-oriented people. <_<
Also, hilarious thought but what's everyone's opinion on helping the skill along with Brionac? 8D Low dura use, and with the awful RNG of herb spawns I was thinking it might come in handy a little bit.

I still like L-rodding in Solea to be more bearable than dungeons.
But that's me.
There's like 2 areas each in the north and south of solea that don't have agrro-ing enemies like Ant lions where you can L-Rod for herb patches.
Than again, no matter where you go, it's random.
But I'm not sure as far as dungeons go.
I thought people used Ciar/Rabbie, but I can't stand those places.

I'd have to go with Ciar Normal too.

How about runda normal hardmode? Decent exp and chance of two herb rooms per floor.

This
if you are going to pick herbs from dungeons, then at least choose one that can give you exp.
ciar normal has too many base herbs patches. I would recommend solea cave with map mod if you want to grind herbalism instead of doing it casually.

So underground's actually a good place to find herbs? On paper it seems like it'd be bad...wouldn't you have to worry about base herbs there too? Or even just finding ores instead of herbs.

That would work too.
But i was talking all general all purpose dungeon.
That most people over level 100 can do. in general speaking.

Solea is best spot for herb hunters. The only reason to do dungeons for herbs is to get your exp grind done at same time. For pure picking its solea all the way.
