Best professions for Druids: Leatherworking + Skinning.
- Leatherworking makes 6 items that are on ForeverDB's best-in-slot lists for Druids at level 30: Mender's Leather Belt (Waist), Skycaller's Leather Belt (Waist), Warden's Leather Belt (Waist), Brawler's Leather Helm (Head). 6 of them bind when picked up, so you have to make them yourself. 26 more are the best on the way to level 30. Best in slot
- Leatherworking makes 2 of the best enchants, armor kits or weapon stones for Druids at level 30: Mystic Heavy Armor Kit (Chest), Thick Armor Kit (Chest). Recipes
- Skinning supplies it: 259 of the 269 Leatherworking recipes you can learn by skill 225 need what Skinning brings back. Where to gather
- Camp feature, new in Forever: from skill 20, Leatherworking can place a Camp Tent at a campfire. Builds a tent that allows you and others sitting nearby to increase Rested experience to 5% of a level. Camping

Each spec
- Balance: Leatherworking, the same.
- Feral Combat: Leatherworking, the same.
- Restoration: Tailoring instead (9 points against 5 for Leatherworking). Its best: Gilded Slippers.
Also good: Tailoring + Enchanting
- Tailoring makes 3 items that are on ForeverDB's best-in-slot lists for Druids at level 30: Gilded Slippers (Feet), Golden Slippers (Feet), Pristine Leggings (Legs). 3 of them bind when picked up, so you have to make them yourself. 19 more are the best on the way to level 30. Best in slot
- No gathering profession supplies much of Tailoring (at most 12% of its recipes), so the second pick is the next best crafter for Druids: Enchanting.
- Enchanting makes Orb of Souls (Off hand), the best for Druids on the way to level 30. Best in slot

Good to know
- At the level 30 cap you can train up to Expert (skill 225); Artisan needs level 35, so recipes above skill 225 aren't counted.
- Speculation For PvP: Engineering makes 27 bombs, explosives and gadgets by skill 225, such as Mithril Frag Bomb, SAF-T Bomb, Goblin Sapper Charge. Our view: worth it for PvP whatever your class, even though it makes little gear.
- Speculation Leveling and short of gold? Two gathering professions sell from the first day; swap one for your crafter later. Our view.
Speculation How we pick: each crafting profession gets 3 points for every item on ForeverDB's best-in-slot lists for the class at level 30 that binds when picked up, 2 for one you could buy, 1 for every 4 items that are the best on the way (at most 3), 1 for each of the best enchants, armor kits or weapon stones it makes (at most 4) and 1 for every 4 consumables that suit the class (at most 3). The best crafter comes first, with the gatherer that supplies at least 25% of its recipes, or else the next best crafter. The points and which consumables suit a role are ForeverDB's judgement, and the best-in-slot lists are ForeverDB's own ranking. The items, recipes, skills, bind types, camp features and racials are the WoW Forever beta client's.
