Zen Flight Farmer

[Sidalol]

I think you can mine/herb while using Zen Flight as a monk, though I haven't actually tested it. If you can:

1. Locate Herb/Ore
2. Approach Herb/Ore on flying mount
3. Switch to Zen Flight (instant cast)
4. Gather while not pulling any mobs
5. Switch back to flying mount (directly from zen flight!)
6. Continue

Zen Flight is instant cast and you can remount your original mount while on it. This could completely eliminate the possibility of ever being in combat when herbing/mining as a monk.
