Two goods, two different demand curves
Ore demand is driven by crafting — blacksmithing and engineering consume it continuously, and it is needed whether anybody is raiding or not. Herb demand is driven by consumption: flasks and elixirs are used up, so herb prices track the raid calendar directly. With the first raid wave opening 9 December 2026, that gives the two goods different timing. Ore is steady from launch; herbs step up in December and stay there. If you are buying to resell rather than to use, that difference is the whole strategy.
Gathering on the PvP ruleset
A gatherer is the softest target in the game: stationary, usually alone, usually in a contested zone, and with no level scaling to protect them. On the PvP ruleset that is a real cost, and it is why a bulk gathering quote for the PvP ruleset is legitimately higher than the same order on Normal. It is also why world PvP escorts exist as a separate service. If you are on Normal or Roleplaying, make sure you are not paying a PvP premium you do not need.
Quantities, tiers and what to actually ask for
Herbs and ore both come in tiers, and a request for 'ore' without a tier is the most common source of a mis-delivered farming order. Name the item, name the stack count, and name the tier. If you are feeding a profession push, work backwards from the recipe rather than guessing — a seller quoting on a vague brief will quote for the cheap tier and be technically correct. Escrow holds until you confirm what arrived, so the specificity is entirely in your interest.

Frequently asked questions
Do herb and ore prices move differently?
Yes. Ore demand is steady because crafting consumes it constantly; herb demand steps up around raiding, which starts 9 December 2026, because flasks and elixirs are used up rather than kept.
Why does gathering cost more on the PvP ruleset?
Because a gatherer is a stationary target in a contested zone with no level scaling to help them. The premium is real work, not a markup — and if you are on Normal you should not be paying it.
What should I specify when ordering?
The exact item, the tier, and the number of stacks. A vague request gets quoted at the cheapest tier, and the seller will be technically right.
Can I get materials for a specific recipe?
Yes, and it is the better way to order — work backwards from the recipe and give the seller that list rather than guessing at quantities yourself.
How is it delivered?
Mail, face-to-face trade or guild bank. Agree which in the order thread, because escrow releases on your confirmation of receipt.
