Professions

Choosing professions for a Druid in The Burning Crusade depends mostly on your goals: preparing consumables, crafting gear or earning gold.

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

Alchemy and Herbalism

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

The Tauren benefits from Cultivation, which increases Herbalism skill.

Jewelcrafting and Mining

Jewelcrafting cuts the gems placed in gear sockets, and Mining provides part of its materials.

Leatherworking and Skinning

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

Engineering and Mining

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

Tailoring and Enchanting

Tailoring crafts cloth gear, and Enchanting improves gear.

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 combination are consistent choices for a Druid who deals ranged damage and uses a lot of mana.

Feral Combat

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

Restoration

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

Key points

Earning gold is important in The Burning Crusade: also choose your professions based on what they can earn you.
