October 11, 2009 · Filed Under Video Games 

Would you like to know the best professions in WoW for your charater? Why do you want one? Do you want to make money? Do you want to craft for profit and fun? You will be well on your way to deciding on which professions are right for you after answering these questions. Are you looking for racial professions, or class professions? Some races also get a bonus on different professions. In addition, some classes are better suited to some professions than to others. These are all things you should consider when choosing the best WoW professions for your character.

Craftskill Bonuses by Race:

Gnomes get +15 to Engineering skill. Because of this, you could decide engineering is perfect for your Gnome. If you are Mage or Warlock, I suggest sticking with tailoring or alchemy and herbalism. Those professions are better suited to the class skills. 

Draenei have a +5 bonus for Jewelcrafting. This can be a good profession to level later, after your class is at 80, and you want to level something just for fun. Pair it with mining and go grind out your own ores. This craft is expensive to level, especially if you buy all the mats on the AH.  You may want to run this craft if you are Warrior, or Paladin. The boosts you get for yourself will be great.

As a Tauren, you get a + 15 racial bonus to Herbalism. This means you can pick up the ever-elusive earth root from the beginning. You can find it in most starter areas, and its herbalism skill 15+ to harvest. You should consider Herbalism with your Tauren if you want to make money. In addition, it is great for your Shaman, who will be best pairing it with Alchemy or Tailoring.

If you are wanting the bonuses, these may help sway your decision of which are the best WoW professions for you.
When deciding which profession in World of Warcraft is best for you, you need to consider what you will be doing with each profession and how it will help you achieve your goals in the game. Before even considering professions, you need to know what you want out of your professions. Once you have determined your desires, you will be able to find which profession will help you achieve it.

Types of Professions

There are 2 types of professions to look at
Craft professions are used for creating items to trade or sell.  Engineering, Blacksmithing, Alchemy, and Tailoring are examples of production professions.

You can use gathering professions to collect items for your crafting. Many believe these are the best WoW professions for making money, because you can sell everything without having to craft or spend any other time or money on them. You can use these for yourself, trade them to other players, sell them at the Auction House, or Sell them to NPC merchants in the game. Trading and selling at the Auction House seem to be the most common way to distribute your gatherings. 

Choosing  the best WoW professions for your character can be one of the most beneficial decisions you can make. Knowing what skills are best for your character will allow you to do this quickly and easily.Good luck, and enjoy leveling your WoW professions.
