    Profession Leveling 101

    The owner of this guide who goes by the name "Cravikx" is no longer active, but guide is being preserved due to the quality of it.


    Leveling Professions

    101


    These have been update for x10 rates... I need feedback of the success rate for the x12 rates



    ENCHANTING = Updated for Warmane

    NOTE: *** = indicates a new rod must be made; refer to wowhead.com where you can find items/level to disenchant; take note that dusts are disenchanted mostly from world drops, while essences are disenchanted from dungeons
    ALSO: I put only the recipes that you can do while they are orange/yellow skill level; green-color recipes usually fail to level up your prof so you'd end up wasting mats; sometimes yellow-color recipes would fail, but that's a rare occurrence




    1-11: ***Runed Copper Rod = 1 copper rod, 1 strange dust, 1 lesser magic essence
    11-101: Enchant Bracer (Minor Health) = 9 strange dust
    101-151: Enchant Bracer (Minor Agility) = 8 strange dust, 4 greater magic essence
    *** Runed Silver Rod = 1 silver rod, 6 strange dust, 3 greater magic essence, 1 runed copper rod
    151-161: *** Runed Golden Rod = 1 golden rod, 1 iridescent pearl, 2 greater astral essence, 2 soul dust, 1 runed silver rod
    161-191: Enchant Bracer (Lesser Stamina) = 6 soul dust
    191-221: Enchant Boots (Lesser Stamina) = 12 soul dust
    221-231: ***Runed Truesilver Rod = 1 truesilver rod, 1 black pearl, 2 greater mystic essence, 2 vision dust, 1 runed golden rod
    231-261: Enchant Cloak (Greater Defense) = 9 vision dust
    261-301: Enchant Gloves (Greater Agility) = 8 lesser eternal essence, 12 illusion dust
    301-341: Enchant Chest (Restore Mana Prime) = 8 lesser planar essence, 8 arcane dust
    ***Runed Arcanite Rod = 1 arcanite rod, 1 golden pearl, 10 illusion dust, 4 greater eternal essence, 2 large brilliant shard, 1 runed truesilver post
    341-351: ***Runed Fel Iron Rod = 1 fel iron rod, 4 greater eternal essence, 4 large brilliant shard, 1 runed arcanite rod
    351-361: ***Runed Adamantite Rod = 1 adamantite rod, 8 greater planar essence, 8 large prismatic shard, 1 primal might, 1 runed fel iron rod
    361-381: Enchant Gloves (Major Strength) = 24 arcane dust, 2 greater planar essence
    ***Runed Eternium Rod = 1 eternium rod, 6 greater planar essence, 6 arcane dust, 1 runed adamantite rod
    381-411: Enchant Weapon (Greater Potency) = 6 infinite dust, 12 lesser cosmic essence
    411-431: Enchant Chest (Mighty Health) = 6 greater cosmic essence
    431-450: Enchant Chest (Greater Mana Restoration) = 8 infinite dust, 8 greater cosmic essence

    *If you only want to get the enchanter-only ring stats - you need only to get to level 400 to train and just have a runed eternium rod.




    BLACKSMITHING = Updated for Warmane

    NOTE: Some of the recipes listed here are usable even at green level, which I did write down, simply because the mats are easy to obtain = thus even if you don't get a skill point, you can keep trying and trying.


    1-41: Rough Sharpening Stone = 4 rough stone
    41-91: Rough Grinding Stone = 10 rough stone (make more of these for later recipes)
    91-101: Coarse Grinding Stone = 2 coarse stone (make more of these for later recipes)
    101-121: Silver Skeleton Key = 2 silver bar, 2 rough grinding stone
    121-151: Patterned Bronze Bracers = 15 bronze bar, 6 coarse grinding stone
    151-181: Silvered Bronze Gauntlets = 24 bronze bar, 3 silver bar, 6 coarse grinding stone
    181-211: Green Iron Bracers = 18 iron bar, 3 green dye (from tailoring supplies vendors)
    211-241: Mithril Scale Breastplate = 36 mithril bar
    241-261: Mithril Coif = 20 mithril bar, 12 mageweave cloth
    261-291: Thorium Bracers = 24 thorium bar
    291-311: Thorium Helm = 24 thorium bar, 2 star ruby
    311-331: Fel Iron Plate Belt = 8 fel iron bar
    331-351: Fel Iron Breastplate = 20 fel iron bar
    351-381: Cobalt Belt/Bracers = 12 cobalt bar
    381-401: Cobalt Chestpiece = 16 cobalt bar
    401-411: Brilliant Saronite Bracers = 3 cobalt bar, 8 saronite bar
    411-421: Tempered Saronite Bracers = 13 saronite bar
    421-431: Eternal Belt Buckle = 4 saronite bar, 1 eternal earth/water/shadow
    431-441: Savage/Ornate Saronite Walkers = 12 saronite bar, 1 eternal shadow
    441-450: Helm of Command = 14 saronite bar, 1 eternal fire (actually most yellow-level recipes would require the same number of saronite, but a different kind of eternal element)
    *if you only want the BS-specific glove and wrist prismatic slots, BS level 400 is fine.




    JEWELCRAFTING = Updated for Warmane

    NOTE: JC is extremely easy to level later on 300-450 due to the abundance of uncut gems (even if a recipe turns green, you'll still have enough gems to spare to get another level up, hopefully); you'll probably only find it a bit slow early on, especially if you don't have mining (Auction Houses/Guild Banks will be your primary source of mats).


    1-41: Delicate Copper Wire = 8 copper bar
    41-51: Braided Copper Ring = 2 delicate copper wire
    51-101: Elegant Silver Ring = 5 silver bar
    101-131: Ring of Silver Might = 6 silver bar
    131-151: Ring of Twilight Shadows = 4 shadowgem, 4 bronze bar
    151-181: Mithril Filigree = 6 mithril bar
    181-231: Citrine Ring of Rapid Healing = 5 citrine, 10 mithril bar
    231-261: Aquamarine Pendant of the Warrior = 3 aquamarine, 9 mithril filigree
    261-291: Simple Opal Ring = 3 large opal, 3 thorium setting
    291-301: Emerald Lion Ring = 2 huge emerald, 1 thorium setting
    301-351: Outland Gem Recipes = skill up recipes that use gems like shadow draenite, golden draenite, flame spessarite, azure moonstone, deep peridot, blood garnet (these are plentiful and cheap)
    You can train these from JC trainers in Honor Hold and Thrallmar
    351-401: Northrend Uncommon Recipes = bloodstone, dark jade, huge citrine, shadow crystal, sun crystal, chalcedony
    401-441: Northrend Rare Recipes = scarlet ruby, forest emerald, monarch topaz, twilight opal, autumn's glow, sky sapphire
    - you can also try making one of the JC-only trinkets (a combination of 2 titanium bar, and some rare uncut gems)
    441-450: Northrend Accessories = runed mana band/emerald choker/sky sapphire amulet/scarlet signet (at least 2 titanium bar and one rare uncut gem)
    *If you only want to use the Dragon's Eye gems - you'll need to have level 370 just to buy the recipe (and two JC tokens as well); for the rare-level JC trinkets - you need to be level 400.





    TAILORING = Updated for Warmane
    1-51: Bolt of Linen Cloth = 10 linen cloth
    51-81: Heavy Linen Gloves = 6 bolt of linen, 3 coarse thread

    121-161: Doublestitched Woolen Shoulders = 12 bolt of wool, 8 fine thread
    161-181: Silk Headband = 6 bolt of silk, 4 fine thread
    181-221: Green Silken Shoulders = 20 bolt of silk, 8 silken thread
    221-251:Black Mageweave Gloves = 6 bolt of mageweave, 6 heavy silken thread
    251-281: Tuxedo Jacket = 15 bolt of mageweave, 9 heavy silken thread
    281-311: Brightcloth Cloak = 12 bolt of runecloth, 6 gold bar
    311-331: Netherweave Belt = 6 bolt of netherweave, 2 rune thread
    331-341: Netherweave Pants = 6 bolt of netherweave, 1 rune thread
    341-351: Netherweave Robe = 8 bolt of netherweave, 2 rune thread
    351-381: Bolt of Frostweave = 15 frostweave cloth
    381-401: Frostwoven Boots = 8 bolt of frostweave, 2 eternium thread
    401-411: Duskweave Handwraps = 8 bolt of frostweave, 1 eternium thread

    441-450: Maginificent Flying Carpet = 12 bolt of imbued frostweave, 4 monarch topaz, 4 red dye, 2 yellow dye, 4 iceweb spider silk
    *or you can keep making Frostweave Bags and hope you level up your skill even with a green recipe

    *Tailors have access to Embroideries (level 400) for their cloaks, and leg enchants that require only a thread to create.



    ALCHEMY = New for Warmane

    1-81: Minor Healing Potion = 8 peacebloom, 8 silverleaf, 8 empty vial
    81-111: Lesser Healing Potion = 3 minor healing potion, 3 briarthorn
    111-161: Healing Potion = 5 bruiseweed, 5 briarthorn, 5 leaded vial
    161-201: Greater Healing Potion = 4 liferoot, 4 kingsblood, 4 leaded vial
    201-241: Elixir of Greater Defense = 4 wild steelbloom, 4 goldthorn, 4 leaded vial
    241-271: Elixir of Detect Undead = 3 arthas tears, 3 crystal vial
    271-301: Elixir of Detect Demon = 6 gromsblood, 3 crystal vial
    301-331: Adept's Elixir = 3 dreamfoil, 3 felweed
    331-351: Elixir of Draenic Wisdom = 2 felweed, 2 terocone
    == Now choose your Specialization
    351-371: Transmute Primal Might (since I picked Trans. Mastery)
    Require's Philosopher's Stone = 4 iron bar, 1 black vitriol, 4 purple lotus, 4 firebloom (you can get the recipe from an Alchemist npc in Gadgetzan)
    Primal Might = 1 of each primal earth/air/water/fire/mana
    371-391: Spellpower Elixir = 2 goldclover, 2 tigerlily, 2 imbued vial
    391-401: Elixir of Mighty Strength = 2 tigerlily, 1 imbued vial
    401-431: Transmute Titanium = 24 saronite bar
    431-450: Transmute Skyflare Diamond = 2 bloodstone, 2 chalcedony, 2 eternal air

    *Alchemists get the Mixology passive which increases the effects from flasks/elixirs they use.
    I'm not really sure if it works on the event shard flasks (ie. I have Eternal Flask of the Frost Wyrm and the Mixology bonus doesn't show up).
    One perk for Alch's though, while the ore rates have been heavily nerfed, is being able to transmute epic gems every 20 hours. You only need to be level 65 to learn skill 450 alchemy and thus be able to transmute epic gems.




    **Still looking into Mining, Herbalism, Inscription & Leatherworking*** Should be up in the next week or two

    thank you this was really usefull and good to know information

  3. May 24, 2016  
    Let me just add that on Icecrown it is 5x and not 10x, so materials needed in this guide need to be doubled.
    atleast for alchemy for some of the professions.

  4. May 3, 2017  
    Can this be updated to x7 server rates please?

  5. June 1, 2017  
    Actually I believe for profs its x3

  6. This guide ( for Icecrown at least) is mostly irrelevant now. Seeing as professions are 3x and not 5x, 7x, or anywhere close to the 10x this was written for. You could argue, that you just need to triple the items, however, that is not entirely true seeing as there are items with other patterns that could be made, with easy to farm, less-cost materials.

    It is that fact that makes these guides a broad stroked pointer if you will, and not a step-by-step get you to max the fastest way possible guide.

    I would go so far to say google a 1x guide for 3.3.5, and cut from of the fat from that. It would be more accurate.
