Professions

Choosing professions for a Druid in Classic Era mostly depends on your goals: preparing consumables, crafting gear or making gold.

Professions support your character's progression, but they do not replace choices of gear, talents and play.

Alchemy and Herbalism

Herbalism lets you gather plants, and Alchemy is used to craft potions and elixirs. This pairing helps you prepare your own consumables, notably mana potions.

The Tauren benefits from Cultivation, which increases its Herbalism skill.

Leatherworking and Skinning

Skinning lets you collect leather from beasts, and Leatherworking lets you craft gear. Since the Druid wears leather, this pairing can support its progression.

Engineering and Mining

Engineering crafts items that can be used in combat, in PvE as well as PvP, and Mining provides part of its materials.

Tailoring and Enchanting

Tailoring crafts cloth gear, and Enchanting lets you improve gear. The Balance Druid can wear cloth pieces that increase spell damage.

Cooking, Fishing and First Aid

Cooking and Fishing provide useful food, and First Aid lets you craft bandages, without replacing the Druid's healing spells.

Which professions suit your specialization?

Balance

Engineering and the Alchemy + Herbalism pairing are sound choices for a Druid who deals ranged damage and uses a lot of mana.

Feral Combat

The Leatherworking + Skinning pairing supports leather gear, and Engineering brings items useful in combat.

Restoration

The Alchemy + Herbalism pairing helps you prepare mana potions, useful in long fights.

Key points

Making gold is important in Classic Era: also choose your professions based on what they can earn you.
