Best professions for Warriors
Best professions for Warriors: Blacksmithing + Mining.
- Blacksmithing makes 4 items that are on ForeverDB's best-in-slot lists for Warriors at level 30: Officer's Belt (Waist), Sentinel's Belt (Waist), Veteran's Silvered Chain Leggings (Legs), Barbaric Iron Helm (Head). 3 of them bind when picked up, so you have to make them yourself. 30 more are the best on the way to level 30.

- Blacksmithing makes 2 of the best enchants, armor kits or weapon stones for Warriors at level 30: Solid Sharpening Stone (Two-hand weapon), Iron Counterweight (Two-hand weapon). Recipes
- Mining supplies it: 249 of the 249 Blacksmithing recipes you can learn by skill 225 need what Mining brings back. Where to gather
- Camp feature, new in Forever: from skill 20, Blacksmithing can place a Sharpening Wheel at a campfire. Constructs a sharpening wheel that grants you and others sitting nearby 6 (below level 24), 11 (levels 24–37), 20 (levels 38–51) or 34 (level 52+) increased Strength, mutually exclusive with Strength of Earth Totem.

Also good: Enchanting + Leatherworking
- Enchanting makes 9 of the best enchants, armor kits or weapon stones for Warriors at level 30: Enchant Bracer - Stamina (Wrist), Enchant Bracer - Strength (Wrist), Enchant Chest - Lesser Stats (Chest), Enchant Chest - Superior Stamina (Chest). Recipes
- No gathering profession supplies much of Enchanting (at most 6% of its recipes), so the second pick is the next best crafter for Warriors: Leatherworking.
- Leatherworking makes 7 items that are on ForeverDB's best-in-slot lists for Warriors on the way to level 30, such as Defender's Leather Helm (Head), Brawler's Leather Boots (Feet), Brawler's Leather Belt (Waist), Fletcher's Gloves (Hands). 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.
