Best professions for Gnomes
Best professions for Gnomes: Engineering gets a racial bonus (Engineering Specialization); otherwise pick for your class.
Engineering Specialization: Your gnomish ingenuity reduces the rate of engineering devices failing or backfiring when you use them by 20%. (WoW Forever client.) Classic Era's version, only to compare (Forever changed it): Engineering skill increased by 15.
Speculation It makes Engineering's devices more reliable for you; it doesn't change which crafted gear is best for your class.
Best professions for each Gnome class
- Gnome Warrior: Blacksmithing + Mining (or Engineering for the racial)
- Gnome Rogue: Leatherworking + Skinning (or Engineering for the racial)
- Gnome Priest: Tailoring + Enchanting (or Engineering for the racial)
- Gnome Mage: Tailoring + Enchanting (or Engineering for the racial)
- Gnome Warlock: Tailoring + Enchanting (or Engineering for the racial)
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 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.
