Can I buy somewhere the gathering tools in Guild Wars 2 as a low level human?
I've encountered some herbs and mines wandering around, so I'd assume I'd be able to gather them somehow… but I couldn't find any vendor to provide me the tools.
The wiki claimed there is a vendor in Shaemoor, but apparently he's been removed…

You'll receive copper gathering tools at level 9. If you're interested in buying some before that, Tara in the Shaemoor Garrison is a merchant, and is reachable even as a free player (as free players unlock the ability to leave starting zones at level 10.)
Most merchants sell gathering tools, but often merchants will have multiple tabs in their goods list, so they may not be immediately visible.
