WoW Classic – Choosing The Best Profession

by Falagar / Articles, World of Warcraft Classic / 11 Aug 2019

Depending on your goals, there are several career categories to consider when selecting the most suitable professions.

Earning Money – If your aim is to generate income during the leveling phase or even afterwards, the gathering professions such as Herbalism, Mining, and Skinning are excellent starting points. Fishing, while not strictly a gathering profession, can also be quite lucrative. The top earners in this category are undoubtedly Alchemy and Enchanting, both of which can yield significant profits throughout the game. While Cooking and Tailoring may not be as profitable, they can still serve as reliable sources of income.

Creating Equipment – For those looking to craft gear, Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, and Tailoring cater to users of Plate, Leather, Mail, and Cloth respectively.

General Utility – Engineering is unparalleled for PvP enthusiasts and Hunter players, offering unique and highly sought-after items like the Goblin Jumper Cables, which can revive party members. First Aid is indispensable for high-level raids and for classes without healing abilities, such as Warriors.

Your choice of World of Warcraft professions may also be influenced by your chosen class and race. Druids, for example, are well-suited to Herbalism, as their Travel form allows for uninterrupted herb gathering. Druid Tanks might also consider Enchanting to create the essential Smoking Heart of the Mountain trinket. Hunters typically benefit from Engineering for ammunition production. Tauren, especially Druids, should prioritize Herbalism, leveraging the Cultivation perk for a skill bonus. Gnomes receive a similar bonus for Engineering. Profession-wise, Plate users such as Warriors or Paladins may prefer Blacksmithing, Leather classes like Rogues, Druids, Hunters, or Shamans may lean towards Leatherworking, and Cloth classes like Mages, Priests, and Warlocks might opt for Tailoring.
