World Of Warcraft Profession Pairing

Published Thursday, August 28, 2008 by bloggerblognet37044 | E-mail this post

Professions are an essential part of the development of your World of Warcraft character, particularly once you are finished your levelling. While levelling is usually the first concern of a new character, once you reach level 60 (or 70 with the expansion), the choice of profession often comes back to haunt a character who did not give it sufficient thought. This is because once levelling is out of the way professions provide a prime opportunity for the accumulation of gold.

The Primary Professions are Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, herbalism, Jewel crafting, leather working, Mining, Tailoring, and skinning. The secondary professions are Cooking, First Aid, and Fishing. It is possible to choose all three secondary professions, but only two primary professions can be chosen.

The best method of using your primary professions to their full potential is to pair a gathering and crafting profession that compliment each other. Thus the first profession allows the character to gather the resources needed to practice the secondary profession. Examples of good profession pairing include:
Mining and Blacksmithing, which leads to a character who can supply himself with quality armor and weapons.
Mining and Engineering, engineers need also sorts of stuff to make their works of art - and mining provides most of these.
Skinning and Leather working, allowing the creation of highly specialised equipment, as well as more mundane leather armors.
Herbalism and Alchemy, is great for any character class as the options of potions to create are large and varied.

In each case the gathering profession enables rapid advancement of the crafting type profession. The items created by the crafting profession can either be used to buff the character, or to sell for profit.

Todd O'Donnell admits to playing far too many games. After initial focus on power levelling he has spent much time developing guides and hints for World of Warcraft Players which can be found at his Warcraft for the People website
