Enchanting is a primary profession in which characters may enchant gear and craft a variety of items. The main use of enchanting is to augment the stats of gear, such as more strength, intellect, etc.; resistance to a particular branch of magic; increased spell damage or healing; increased speed (attack speed, mount speed etc.); or a variety of other effects. Enchanters also create specialty use items, such as [Wizard Oil] and trade goods, such as [Enchanted Leather]. Employing the services of an enchanter is one of the trickier things that a player may wish to do in WoW. For details on how to be savvy customer for those services read: Getting Enchantments Done.

The alchemist mixes herbs found by Herbalism and reagents in order to concoct elixirs, potions, oils, flasks and cauldrons with a variety of effects. A player can create healing, invisibility, elemental resistance and mana potions; oils to coat weapons; and much more.

Alchemy is useful to all character classes. Melee fighters can use alchemy to create buff and healing potions. Spell casting classes can use alchemy to create mana potions and related buffs. You can create potions for yourself, sell them to others, or give them to your party members and friends. Alchemists are well loved when they hand out potions.

WotLK BLACKSMITHING 350 - 450 | World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is the second expansion set for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, following The Burning Crusade. It launched on November 13, 2008 and sold 2.8 million copies within the first day, making it the fastest selling computer game of all time released at that point.

The first hero class was introduced, the Death Knight, that starts at level 55.

Blacksmithing is a profession and is the art of forging items out of metals, minerals, and other trade goods. Blacksmiths utilize bars of metal unearthed and smelted by the mining profession along with various trade and magical goods to produce their wares.

A blacksmith can create melee weapons, armor (mail and plate), trade items used as ingredients by other professions (such as rods for enchanters) and keys used to unlock a variety of items in the world. Additionally, blacksmiths can craft items that when applied to weapons can provide temporary (and in some cases, permanent) buffs to items.

While they can create a variety of items, they strangely cannot repair these items when damaged, and must still use the services of a repair vendor.

In general, blacksmithing mainly benefits mail and plate wearing classes for the unique armors that can be created. However, most (if not all) classes can use a good deal of the weapons produced by blacksmiths. Ideally, blacksmithing would be paired with mining as a second profession. Mining is not a prerequisite for the blacksmithing profession.

WotLK Mining 350 - 450 | World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is the second expansion set for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, following The Burning Crusade. It launched on November 13, 2008 and sold 2.8 million copies within the first day, making it the fastest selling computer game of all time released at that point.

In order to advance through Northrend, players were required to reach at least level 68, with the level cap for the expansion being 80. The first hero class was introduced, the Death Knight, that starts at level 55.

Mining allows you to find and mine minerals, ores, and stones from resource nodes scattered throughout the world. It is one of the primary professions. Materials from mining and the items miners can create from them are reagents needed for recipes within other professions.

The Burning Crusade expansion was the first to introduce several mobs that are capable of being mined.
Tips and tricks

Gatherer is an add-on that can keep track of historical mining data. It can keep track of when and where you last mined a node. Additionally, it can be partnered with GathererDB. This addon is a communal database of mined ore.

GatherMate is a replacement for the now defunct Cartographer_Mining. It aims to be map addon independent.

Weapons can also serve as a mining pick:

 [Kobold Excavation Pick]
 [Gouging Pick]
 [Brann's Trusty Pick]
 [Cold Iron Pick]
 [Miner's Revenge]
 [Tunnel Pick]
 [Digmaster 5000]

A [Gnomish Army Knife] cannot be used as a weapon but does function as:

 [Gyromatic Micro-Adjustor]
 [Arclight Spanner]
 [Blacksmith Hammer]
 [Mining Pick]
 [Skinning Knife]

Paladins, unholy death knights, druids and engineers have a slight advantage in mining because of speed-increasing abilities.

WotLK Cooking 350 - 450 | World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is the second expansion set for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, following The Burning Crusade.

The first hero class was introduced, the Death Knight, that starts at level 55.

Cooking is one of the secondary professions in World of Warcraft.

It is a crafting profession which, as the name suggests, revolves around making food-type consumable items. Food made with Cooking grants the  [Well Fed] buff which, depending on the food eaten, provides temporary stat buffs which typically last for 1 hour. Examples include  [Clefthoof Sausages] which boosts Versatility, [Barracuda Mrglgagh] which boosts Mastery, and  [Ravenberry Tarts] which boosts Haste. Nearly all foods, even the ones not made with Cooking, also grant increased health regeneration while eating. Cooking can also be used to make certain entertaining consumables like the famous  [Savory Deviate Delight] or "feast" items such as  [Great Feast] which can be placed on the ground in order for several players to eat and benefit from it.

The base ingredients for food is meat and fish though many foods also require spices, Cooking-specific ingredients such as [Juicycrunch Carrot], or even other food items. In some cases eggs (such as [Small Egg]), alcohol, herbs, or even more exotic ingredients are also used.

High-level Well Fed buffs are powerful enough to make Cooking a popular profession. In particular end-game content often requires characters to have as good stats as possible to overcome various challenges, making Cooking foods a must.
