What changed for professions in WoW Forever?
The profession frame is still Classic: two primaries, skill 300, fixed reagents. Armor recipes turn yellow earlier, alchemy no longer makes the standard healing potions, and enchanting opens on Dust to Motes.
- Healing potions: First Aid, not Alchemy
- Blacksmithing, leatherworking, tailoring: median yellow skill −25 vs Classic Era
- Enchanting rod takes a Mote of Magic, not Strange Dust
- Mooncloth cooldown in this client: 95 hours

The five guides
| Profession | Client recipes | Wiki names matched | Yellow vs Classic Era | Opens with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alchemy | 178 | 155 of 192 | 0 (n=111) | Minor Arcane Elixir |
| Blacksmithing | 504 | 438 of 496 | -25 (n=310) | Rough Sharpening Stone |
| Leatherworking | 588 | 519 of 590 | -25 (n=321) | Light Armor Kit |
| Tailoring | 467 | 414 of 462 | -25 (n=291) | White Linen Shirt |
| Enchanting | 260 | 236 of 247 | 0 (n=199) | Dust to Motes |
Yellow vs Classic Era is the median change in the yellow threshold for spells that exist in both 1.60.1.70938 and 1.15.9.70576. Negative means the recipe stops being a guaranteed point sooner. Alchemy and enchanting barely moved. The three armor professions moved by 25 points.
FAQ
How many professions can I learn?＋
Two primary professions, plus Cooking, First Aid and Fishing. That is the Warcraft Wiki's description of Forever, and it is the same slot rule as Classic. This hub covers five of the crafting primaries. Engineering and the gathering skills are not written up here yet.
What is the skill cap?＋
300. Each of these professions still has the four Classic rank spells, Apprentice through Artisan. The effect row stores tier 1 through 4. The 75, 150, 225 and 300 caps are what those tiers mean in Classic; the character level a trainer asks for is not in the tables we read.
Why not use a Classic profession guide?＋
Armor crafts turn yellow sooner. On the three armor professions the median shared spell turns yellow 25 points earlier than Classic Era build 1.15.9.70576. Alchemy and enchanting barely moved. Healing potions also left alchemy for First Aid. A Classic shopping list will not match the client this site is built on, which is 1.60.1.70938.
Are the material totals exact?＋
Orange crafts are exact: one craft, one skill point, reagents from SpellReagents. Yellow crafts are a minimum, because the chance is not stored. Where the wiki did not match a client item name, that recipe is absent rather than guessed. Vendor, drop and reputation prices are not in these tables.
