Professions

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

Professions support your character's progression, but they do not replace your gear, talent and gameplay choices.

Tailoring and Enchanting

Tailoring crafts cloth gear that the Mage can wear, and Enchanting lets you improve your gear.

Alchemy and Herbalism

Herbalism lets you gather herbs, and Alchemy is used to make potions and elixirs. This combination helps you prepare your own consumables, especially mana potions.

Engineering and Mining

Engineering crafts items you can use in combat, in PvE as in PvP, and Mining provides part of its materials.

The Gnome benefits from Engineering Specialization, which increases Engineering skill.

Cooking, Fishing and First Aid

Cooking and Fishing provide useful food, and First Aid lets you make bandages to heal yourself.

Which professions suit your specialization?

Arcane

The Alchemy + Herbalism combination helps you prepare mana potions, which are useful in long fights.

Fire

The Tailoring + Enchanting combination goes well with the Mage's cloth gear.

Frost

Engineering brings items that are useful in combat, especially in PvP.

Key takeaway

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