WoW Forever Professions, explained
WoW Forever keeps Professions close to their Classic form while adding changes intended to refresh the system for newcomers and returning players. Professions are optional tradeskills that can add character flavour, improve gameplay and provide items to use or sell; the guide says they also offer a Camp benefit for everyone.
Characters can choose two Primary Professions and train all Secondary Professions. Gathering skills include Herbalism, Mining and Skinning, each requiring players to collect materials and build skill to access some resources. Crafting skills turn those materials into usable or saleable goods: Enchanting can permanently upgrade items and has expanded to cover necklaces and off-hands, while Tailoring and Engineering offer other crafting options. The supplied article text cuts off as it begins discussing new SAF-T explosives.
In short
- WoW Forever retains the Classic-style Profession system with added changes.
- Players can choose two Primary Professions and train every Secondary one.
- Enchanting gains more item types for permanent upgrades.
