Professions
Choosing professions for a Mage in WoW Forever mainly depends on your goals: crafting equipment, improving your items, preparing consumables or earning gold.
All three specializations, Arcane, Fire and Frost, can benefit from these activities. No profession is essential to play a Mage.
Comprehension
Comprehension is a new secondary profession reserved for mages. It lets you read scrolls and can be learned from level 6.
This profession is specific to the Mage in WoW Forever and complements the other professions without replacing them.
Tailoring and Enchanting
Tailoring lets you craft cloth equipment, the armor worn by the Mage.
Enchanting lets you improve equipment and recover materials by disenchanting items.
This pairing suits players who want to craft and improve their own equipment.
Alchemy and Herbalism
Alchemy lets you prepare potions and other consumables, including mana potions.
Herbalism makes it easier to gather the plants needed for these preparations.
This pairing suits players who want to produce their own consumables rather than buy them.
Gathering professions
Combining two gathering professions, such as Herbalism and Mining, lets you collect resources while your character progresses.
These materials can be kept for later use or sold to earn gold.
Which profession should you choose for each specialization?
Arcane
Arcane depends heavily on mana. Alchemy is therefore particularly useful for preparing mana potions.
Fire
Fire looks for heavy hits. Tailoring and Enchanting let you improve the equipment that strengthens its spells.
Frost
Frost focuses on control and safety. All professions suit it, depending on your crafting or income goals.
Which profession should you choose?
For the Mage, there is no mandatory combination of professions. Comprehension remains a secondary profession specific to the class.
Tailoring and Enchanting suit players who want to craft and improve their equipment. Alchemy and Herbalism make it easier to prepare consumables. Finally, two gathering professions can be a simple way to earn gold.
