Profession Guides

World of Warcraft Profession Guides

Players in World of Warcraft are able to train two out of the 11 available production or gathering professions per character, but can train all four of the Secondary professions, including the new Archeology profession added in Cataclysm.

Below you will find detailed guides for each profession in the game, and many of our Class Guides also contain suggestions on which professions pair well with them. Professions also grant a unique bonus or skill as you unlock each tier, so don't forget to check out our complete guide to Profession Bonuses.

Mists of Pandaria -- Pandaren Monk Striking Target Dummy

There have been many rumblings from Blizzard fans that don't really want Mists of Pandaria as the next (or any expansion) and ask the question "Why Mop?"

Mists of Pandaria's launch could happen by the end of the year so what better time to look at what the Collector's Edition could contain?
