I've got 10 toons on one server, playing with only one account right now, and I have barely over 30k across all 10 toons right now. Relying on the AH for herbs is not always a good idea to do. I tried this at first for my Alchemist and on Earthen Ring-US, it sucked. I was left with having to level up my own Herbalist to get some of the more common plants, cause since the LFD tool, hardly anyone ventures out to farm these old world ones. If you're left doing this, Stranglekelp is alot easier to farm from Thousand Needles now if you finish out the questline to get the scuba gear and underwater walking. Unless you use a druid of coarse. But the boat mount from that same quest line is fun to play with too.
