Professions
- Choice: two main professions per character according to its class (e.g. warrior: mining and blacksmithing; priest: tailoring and enchanting; druid: herbalism and alchemy), with variety across the population; cooking, first aid and fishing as well.
- Trainers: learning, rank-ups (Apprentice → Grand Master), buying recipes that still give skill.
- Gathering: mining (pick bought), herbalism, skinning, along quest and hunting routes, without unreasonable detours or nodes guarded by monsters.
- Crafting: first what is useful (gear, bags, tools, potions, bandages, food), otherwise recipes that still raise the skill; enchanting one's own gear, disenchanting useless green items; workshop (anvil, forge) and campfire for cooking.
- Materials for one's own professions are no longer sold; crafting surplus goes to the auction house.
Bank
A visit when passing near a banker, or a detour when bags are nearly full: depositing reserve materials, taking back those for current recipes, buying bag slots.
Mail between characters
A character that gathers materials useful to a guild companion mails them over.
