There are many possible professions for you to learn in WoW. It is important to plan which ones to choose because some will help you tremendously and others will be useless. This Hunter Profession Guide will help you choose the perfect profession for your WoW Hunter.
I recommend that you create an alt that you will leave with the auction house. As you gain levels, mail the things you can sell to your alt, so they can sell them for you. This way, you will focus on leveling up. When you’re done, log in to your alternate account and sell your items on the auction house.
It’s a good idea to buy the largest bags you can afford. Always make sure to loot everything unless you already have enough gold. Send your alt in the AH anything white or better that you don’t plan to keep. Gray things are sold.
The three skills that allow you to generate gold whenever you want are mining, skinning and herbalism. I suggest you take Skinning because it gives your Hunter the awesome Crit Rating. Herbalism is healing, while mining will give you bonus health.
If you are rich, leatherworking is a great profession that will provide you with excellent equipment. If you don’t have a ton of gold, skip the skills that revolve around crafting. Skinning will give you the raw materials needed for leatherworking.
To make a small fortune in WoW, it’s a good idea to start with a large fortune and focus on leveling up a crafting profession. While leveling up, don’t waste your time on crafting professions as they are expensive and time consuming. If you must get one, then the leatherwork is ideal for hunters. You will be able to produce some good equipment.
Here are some other possible professions for the Hunter class in WoW:
- Alchemy: It’s possible to make a bunch of useful concoctions that you can consume when needed. You can save a lot of gold by taking herbalism with Alchemy.
- Enchanting is pretty expensive to level up, but you can put solid buffs on things.
- Engineering is fine if you have a ton of gold saved up and want to ride those Hog Moterbikes mechs later on.
- Inscription was previously a solid profession to earn money, but glyphs are now learned permanently, so players won’t want to buy new ones. If you take herbalism with this, you can save a good amount of gold, since herbs are more expensive these days.
- Avoid blacksmithing and tailoring.
- Jewelry can be a good profession that will earn you a lot of money if you take mining with you.
- Cooking will allow you to make foods like Warp Burgers that will improve your Agility stats.
- First Aid is a pretty useful skill, no matter what class you are.
