As you level though World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, one of the things that you will work on are your various professions. This guide walks you through a suggested leveling process of each of the three production type professions: Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, and Tailoring.
Please note these are only suggested leveling paths through the professions. Depending on the economy of your specific server there could be cheaper ways to max out your profession. This is based on our progress through the professions.

| * The patterns used below focus on haste and use Fire and Water. If you would prefer mastery or have a ready supply of volatile air instead of water you can create the Fireweave options available to you at the trainer instead. The exact item at each level will be different however the material requirements remain the same other than water changing to air. |
