TBC Classic Anniversary
Professions 1-375
Collected English checklists for every TBC profession. The goal is not to lock you into one exact shopping list, but to help you choose a sensible route, understand material spikes and spot the points where AH prices or recipes can change the plan.
How to read these guides
Each guide splits the profession into TBC skill brackets: 1-75, 75-150, 150-225, 225-300 and 300-375. Crafting professions focus on material groups and recipe choices, while gathering professions focus on zone routes and skill requirements. Always compare exact craft counts with the prices on your own realm.
Alchemy
Alchemy is a core profession for raid consumables: potions, elixirs, flasks and TBC specialization procs make it useful for both mains and alts.
Blacksmithing
Blacksmithing is expensive but strong, especially for melee and plate/mail characters, because TBC specialization weapons and armor can carry far into early progression.
Enchanting
Enchanting creates gear upgrades and turns spare gear into materials. In TBC, ring enchants and shard conversions add value for your own character as well.
Engineering
Engineering is a utility profession: bombs, gadgets, goggles, the mote extractor and TBC flying machines make it strong especially in PvP and for certain DPS roles.
Jewelcrafting
Jewelcrafting is TBC's new profession and highly relevant for socket gear. Mining supports it directly because Prospecting turns ore into gems.
Leatherworking
Leatherworking is raid-relevant in TBC because of drums, leg armor and crafted gear. Skinning is the natural pair because it consumes a lot of leather.
Tailoring
Tailoring is a strong caster and alt profession because it uses cloth from loot, makes bags and, in TBC, important specialization cloth and caster gear sets.
Herbalism
Herbalism is leveled by gathering herbs in zones suited to your skill. In TBC, Outland herbs feed Alchemy, raid consumption and the market.
Mining
Mining supports three crafting professions and can make gold on its own. In TBC, Fel Iron, Adamantite and Khorium are key materials.
Skinning
Skinning is a straightforward gathering profession: kill beasts around the right level and collect the hides. It is the best pair for Leatherworking and a good gold source while leveling.
Cooking
Cooking makes food that restores health/mana and grants Well Fed stat buffs. In TBC it works best with Fishing, but meat and fish routes can be mixed.
Fishing
Fishing is a time-spend profession: it does not need an expensive shopping list, but it does require patience. In TBC, fish are important for Cooking and some other materials.
First Aid
First Aid is an easy secondary profession that gives every class bandage healing. The TBC stage uses Runecloth and Netherweave Cloth.
Preparing for raids
Start with the profession's raid value: consumables, enchants, gems, drums, spellthreads or crafted gear. If the benefit only appears at 350+, do not burn all your gold on the wrong halfway point.
Alt character
A gathering + crafting pair is often the cheapest way to level a profession without heavy AH dependence. If the alt exists only for gold, gathering is usually the safer start.
AH and materials
The guides show where the material bands change. If one bracket is overpriced, check an alternative craft or farming route before buying a full 1-375 package at once.
