7. Jewelcrafting and Engineering. The best combination for PvP.

Professions and classes
For each class there are the most optimal professions. Usually they are selected by preference in the game, PvP or PvE. For solid characters choosing a profession in WoW should be based on this. The most successful links:

1. Mage . PvP PvE
2. Rogue . PvP– Jewelry and Engineering, PvE
3. Warrior . PvP– Jewelcrafting and Enchanting/Blacksmithing, PvE- Jewelcrafting and Blacksmithing/Enchanting.
4. Druid . PvP– Jewelcrafting and Leatherworking/Enchanting, PvE– Jewelcrafting and Leatherworking/Inscription/Enchanting.
5. Shaman . PvP– Jewelcrafting and Enchanting/Engineering/Alchemy, PvE– Jewelcrafting and Leatherworking/Enchanting/Inscription.
6. Paladin . PvP– Jewelcrafting and Blacksmithing/Enchanting, PvE- Jewelcrafting and Blacksmithing/Enchanting/Inscription.
7. Warlock . PvP– Jewelcrafting and Engineering/Enchanting, PvE- Jewelcrafting and Enchanting/Inscription/Tailoring.
8. Priest . PvP– Jewelcrafting and Enchanting/Engineering, PvE– Jewelcrafting and Enchanting/Inscription/Tailoring.
9. Death Knight . PvP– Jewelcrafting and Enchanting/Blacksmithing/Engineering, PvE- Jewelcrafting and Blacksmithing/Enchanting.
10. Hunter . PvP– Jewelcrafting/Enchanting/Leatherworking and Engineering, PvE– Jewelcrafting and Leatherworking/Enchanting.

1. Professions of the type "craft profession and mining profession" should start from level 1 to 80, so you will always have gold during the entire time of leveling the character and the level of professions will increase.
2. Farming professions should also start from level 1. Thus, in the future you will not have to run around low-level locations and gain a profession level. It is a good idea to combine crafting professions with mining professions at this stage.
3. Professions for PvE / PvP that combine two crafting professions should be downloaded already at level 80, since their pumping requires investments, which you will not have at the initial levels. The only exceptions are the linking of Tailoring and Enchanting, here for production you need fabric that drops from mobs, and then crafting items can be decomposed into ingredients for enchanting.

There are many professions in the game. All professions are important, all professions are needed. But some professions are more suitable for certain specializations, while others are neutral, and still others are generally useless. Some professions are best chosen for certain races that have a bonus to them - a list, .

Types of professions in the game

In the game, professions are divided into:

• Main
• Auxiliary

The main differences between the main and auxiliary professions:

• Your character can have only 2 main professions, and auxiliary - all that are in the game.
• Primary professions provide bonuses to your character's stats, while secondary professions don't.
• You can always “throw off” the main professions (refuse them), taking others in return.

The main professions are divided into:

• Handicraft- professions, thanks to which you will create items, things, potions (alchemy) in the game.
• Collective- professions related to collecting resources in the game, necessary for some professions.

Game slang is given in parentheses, as these professions are called by players in the game.

Craft professions include:

• (chemistry)
• (chanting)
• (tailor)
• (inga)
• (leatherworking, leather)
• (yuva)
• (drawing)

Gathering professions include:

• (herba)
• (mining / mining)

Auxiliary professions:

Each of the professions gives certain bonuses to the characteristics in the game, so you need to carefully choose it for your specialization, although the bonus is not significant, but still. Some professions are not even desirable for certain classes - their bonuses will not bring any benefit.

Any learned basic profession can be forgotten - to abandon the profession. To do this, click on the crossed red circle next to the profession in the abilities and spells window on the Professions tab

This article is devoted to a general introduction of players to professions in WoW, so there is no point in writing a full review - you will get a lot of information that will “confuse” the player more than “point” him to the path.

I will give general advice on choosing a profession:

• Choose the one you like the most, yes, there are bonuses among the professions - but they are not essential! So it won't give you a big performance boost.
• Gathering professions are good when leveling a character, for each resource collected you will receive additional experience, but they are not suitable for the main character or those that you raid. So gathering professions are best taken by twinks (additional characters).
• About earning money in the gathering and craft professions, I will express myself with a metaphor - let the gathering professions be bread, and craft professions - machines. The difference between them is like selling bread or cars - bread is bought more often, it brings a stable profit, although not much. And cars are bought less often, they bring more profit, although it is not so stable and very profitable to sell them when they are new. As you understand, “new cars” are new items that become available at the beginning of the addon, the price for them is then the highest and in demand, but in the end, their creation, sometimes, does not even pay for itself.

I hope this article will help the nubics a little in mastering the world of Warkaraft.

More detailed articles on each profession separately will be published later.

P.S. Thanks, Satjar (with CS) for helping me write the article.

One of the hardest decisions to make when playing World of Warcraft. This decision should be based on your preferences in the game, be it PvP, PvE, farming or crafting.

We continue the cycle of guides for beginners. This time, an overview guide to professions in World of Warcraft. A character in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm can learn four secondary professions and two main ones. If there are only three auxiliary ones in the game, then there are much more main ones, and you will have to make a choice in favor of two of them.

You can learn the profession from a trainer for a small fee. In any capital there are all profession trainers, you can find out the way to them by asking the guard. There are also profession trainers in starting locations, but not all of them.

Auxiliary professions: fishing, cooking, first aid and archeology.

cooking at first glance it seems useless, but it is far from it. Very quickly you will learn how to make food that will raise the characteristics of the character, which will make it easier to complete quests. And there is nothing to do in raid instances without food. There are also many achievements associated with cooking and there are daily repeating tasks (daily quests).

Fishing will allow you to catch useful fish in reservoirs. Ryda is used in cooking, and by pumping fishing it will be easy for you to download cooking. Also, fish is used in many top culinary recipes and goes well at the auction. Well, achievements with daily quests.

First aid allows you to make bandages and antidotes. It also seems useless at low levels, but in practice, bandages are often life-saving. The fact is that alchemical healing potions can only be used once per battle and bandages can be the last hope.

Archeology added in the latest addon and allows you to conduct archaeological research. For research, they give experience, a little bit of nonsense, and you will learn the history of the races that inhabit the world of World of Warcraft. We will look at it in detail in the guides a little later.

There can be only two main professions. It will be possible to change the profession, but at the same time all your efforts to pump will be lost. For this reason, it is recommended that you think carefully about your choice.

Professions are:

• Mining: Mining, Herbalism, Skinning.
• Crafting: Tailoring, Jewelcrafting, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Leatherworking, Engineering, Alchemy, Inscription

Mining professions allow you to mine materials for crafting professions. For this reason, if you are downloading your first character, and you do not have support, then it is recommended to take a bunch of mining + crafting profession.

Also, when choosing professions, it is advisable to take into account the bonuses that the profession gives at high levels. Bonuses will increase with the growth of mining professions. For crafting professions, bonuses will be at levels closer to the maximum. There are no absolutely useless bonuses, but there are those that are better suited to your character.

Mining professions for mining allow you to get some experience.

Mining allows you to dig ore, which is often found in the expanses of Azeroth. The ore is used by Jewelers, Blacksmiths and Engineers. Ore sells well at auction. Profession bonus - increased stamina (useful for tanks).

Herbalism allows all in the same expanses of Azeroth to collect grass, which is used by inscribers and alchemists. Grass is also great at the auction, the demand for it is always great. Bonus - increased speed rating.

Skinning allows you to remove the skins from dead enemies, which are very necessary for leatherworkers. The skins come from the auction. Critical hit bonus, not very useful in raids.

Tailoring allows you to sew cloth armor. The material is cloth that drops from humanoid monsters, i.e. mining profession is not needed. Bonus - a special patch for the cloak. Good for magicians, warlocks, priests.

jewelry allows you to create accessories and stones (stones are inserted into armor and improve characteristics). Ore is used in huge quantities as a material, therefore it is recommended in tandem with mining. Bonus - special, improved stones. Stones can be any, so the bonus is suitable for any character. The profession is very profitable, but the competition is high.

blacksmith craft allows you to create chain mail (low level) and plate armor as well as weapons. Requires a myriad of ore. As a bonus, the ability to make additional sockets for stones, so the bonus is universal.

Enchanting allows you to enchant items to improve their characteristics. The material is reagents obtained after spraying things of green quality and above. Enchanters are also dusty. It goes well with tailoring (blacksmithing, leatherworking, but for tailoring you will get the fabric yourself) because you can dust the brilliant green obtained from crafting. Bonus - the ability to enchant rings, which is not available to others. The bonus is universal, the profession is profitable, but there are also many competitors.

Leatherworking- the art of creating leather and chain mail armor. Requires a lot of leather for leveling and some metal, so it is good paired with skinning. Bonus - specialized patches for bracers.

Engineering allows you to create a lot of ridiculous and crazy inventions that excite the imagination. The funniest profession ever. Allows you to make bombs and mines, which are especially good at initial lvl. Good paired with mining, because. requires a lot of metal and stone. The bonuses in cataclysm are quite interesting, but they need to be tested in practice.

Alchemy will allow you to create potions, elixirs and flasks. Uses grass as reagents, good to pump with herbalism. Products of activity are always in demand. There are also transmutations that will allow you to earn extra money. A bonus in the form of prolonging the effect of elixirs and infusions, as well as enhancing the effect of infusions.

inscription will allow you to create symbols (which everyone needs), scrolls that improve characteristics (like elixirs of alchemists) and a few things in the left hand for casters (mages, priests, etc.). They also craft Dark Moon Cards (needed for great trinkets) and materials for scrolls useful in enchanting. We also need grass, lots and lots of grass. A bonus in the form of a chic shoulder enchantment, the best in the game.

Professions are one of the most important elements of WOW gameplay. In Game World of Warcraft it is on them that the entire game economy is based. Gamers have the opportunity to earn gold - the main game currency - exclusively through professions. You must be engaged in some kind of craft if you want to actively participate in raids and purchase unique items at auctions. There is one thing to be aware of: if you want to give up your profession, you can immediately start learning another one, but at the same time, the skills you have gained and the level of the craft that you decided to give up will disappear. In WOW, you can learn many crafts, which are divided into mining and manufacturing.

Mining crafts in wow

Mining professions are quite tedious, but they are easy to pump. The following crafts are mining:

herbalism- you surf the game and look for the necessary herbs that can be used in other crafts or sold at auctions.

Mining— you are looking for ore in different locations. From the discovered minerals, you can subsequently make ingots and use them in other professions. Mining increases the character's stamina level.

Skinning- You skin and scale monsters. This craft increases the critical effect rating.

Producing professions

Producers in the game are the following professions:

Alchemy is one of the most interesting crafts in the game, as it allows you to make unique tinctures and potions with which you can heal, enter invisibility, and so on. This craft acts passively, increasing the power of the character's potions.

blacksmith craft— using the main tools of a blacksmith, an anvil and a hammer, you can make chain mail, various armor, and other unique items.

Enchanting- if you have chosen this craft, you will be able to disassemble magic items into their component parts, so that you can then get magic dust from them. This dust is used for weapons, armor and other equipment and improves their performance. Enchanting is a popular profession, but it will require a significant investment, which, however, will pay off with interest once you master the craft.

Engineering- also very interesting profession. Engineers not only have unique abilities, but also pets and vehicles that make the game easier.

inscription- you can create special characters that have a certain effect on your hero.

jewelry- a profession that, after fully mastering it, will allow you to make amulets and various jewelry from precious stones that will protect your hero and increase his performance.

Leatherworking- you can create the necessary items from skins, salts and threads, such as bags, armor with leather linings, drums and others. This profession is useful for druids and rogues.

Tailoring- If you like to fight in ranged combat and wear lightweight equipment, then this craft is for you. Having mastered it, you can sew armor for yourself from cloth and a bag.
