No profession gives a stat bonus in WoW Forever: Mining adds no health and Skinning adds no critical strike. The real bonuses are Legacy perks, on the profession bonuses page. Each of the six primary crafting professions also earns your account a Legacy point the first time you reach skill 150, 225 and 300.

Four rules that decide your pick

  1. Pair each crafter with the gatherer that feeds it

    Mining feeds Blacksmithing and Engineering, Herbalism feeds Alchemy and Skinning feeds Leatherworking. Tailoring gets cloth from humanoids and Enchanting gets dust from gear you disenchant, so the two pair well.

  2. At level 60, keep a profession for the gear only its crafter can use

    Your class row above names that gear. Any alchemist can sell you flasks, so Alchemy pays off when you want your own supply.

  3. For PvP, take Engineering

    Nets, sapper charges, the rocket helmet and the shadow reflector need Engineering skill. The and do not, so anyone can buy those.

  4. For gold, most classes take two gatherers

    Skinning suits classes that kill beasts quickly, and Herbalism suits druids. Cloth classes usually keep Tailoring.

What changed for professions in WoW Forever

  • Enchanting makes class relics

    All 14 librams, totems and idols are Enchanting crafts, and the 9 older ones bind to the enchanter who makes them.

  • Crafter-only armor

    Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Tailoring make new armor that binds when picked up, in families for each role at levels 30 to 50, such as Officer's, Sentinel's, Warder's, Prefect's and Justicar's plate. You replace quest rewards with it as you go.

  • Camp workstations

    Many top recipes and the new level 60 epics need a camp workstation, such as the skill 300 Master Forge for Blacksmithing, the Loom for Tailoring or the Arcane Forge for Enchanting. ?

  • Camp objects

    Every profession builds camp objects. Nine copy a class buff, like the Lodestone copying Blessing of Might, and a copy does not stack with the real buff. Leatherworkers build the Camp Tent, which tops your rested experience up to 5% of a level.

Your secondary professions

You learn two primary professions, plus Cooking, First Aid and Fishing.

  • Cooking makes the campfire kits.
  • First Aid holds the healing potion recipes now, so you do not need Alchemy for them.

About this WoW Forever guide

How to read the class table

Each class row gives the pair to take for that goal. A line that starts with Or names the other good option, and a spec label splits the pick by spec. Crafter-only means the item binds when picked up, so only the player who makes it can use it.
