Professions in WoW Forever

How professions work

• Two main professions

  Each character picks two of the nine main professions, and can learn Cooking, Fishing and First Aid on top of them.

• Legacy points

  Each crafting profession earns a Legacy point at skill 150, 225 and 300. Reaching 150 is another way to earn your first one.

Picking your two

Two gathering professions

The easiest gold while you level: sell what you gather to crafters.

A gathering skill and its partner

Gather what you craft, so you never buy materials.

Two crafting professions

Tailoring with Enchanting works well: you break down the gear you make. Other pairs buy their materials, so they cost gold.
