WoW Production (Crafting) Professions

WoW Production (Crafting) Professions

WoW has three Primary professions, Gathering, Production (Crafting) and Service plus there are the Secondary professions. Gathering professions do just that, they gather materials (mats) to be used in the Crafting professions. 

Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking, Tailoring, Jewelcrafting and Inscription are the Primary Crafting professions. A Service profession is when you can change an item’s properties not its identity, so most professions overlap.  
 
Alchemists make potions, elixirs and at higher levels, transmute essences and metals. Blacksmiths make more than just weapons and armor, they make keys, provide temporary buffs to weapons and can make sockets for jewels.

Enchanters give attributes, powers and properties to equipable items and disenchant items for their magic components.  Engineers make ammo, mechanical critters, scopes, and lots more items that can be as fun as they are useful. 

A Leatherworker will be able to create armor kits, leather armor and mail from various hides they skin themselves or buy.  Tailors make cloth materials for their cloth armor and item bags plus they can use leather and other mats as they advance for more powerful clothing. 

Jewelcrafters make magical necklaces, rings and trinkets plus gems for armor or weapons.  Inscription is the newest profession.  An Inscriptionist will take herbs and mill them into inks, buy paper and then create glyphs and scrolls that will strengthen or in some other way modify existing abilities and spells.  They can also create scrolls that are supposed to transport a player to a specific place. 

In the Secondary professions, Fishing is the only Gathering one.  First Aid is considered a Crafting and Service profession while Cooking is a Crafting one.

In World of Warcraft a Crafting professional has to create an item from a few or many ingredients. The final product can make one sought after by other players and increase your business.  WoW’s Crafting professions give players a chance to make money, add to a party’s defenses and strengths plus increase their own abilities to defend themselves.  Being a good Craftsman can prove to be a player’s greatest asset for the groups you join with.
