Thera WotLK profession library

Every profession gets its own A-to-Z path.

Open a profession to see what it makes, every major ingredient family, where to farm or buy materials, trainer and recipe sources, leveling stages, weekly tasks, tools, and addons.

Recipe quantities and server behavior must always be verified against the live profession tooltip before a large purchase.

Crafting and production

Turn raw materials into gear, enhancements, consumables, and guild supplies.

Each guide maps the trainer, leveling stages, recipe sources, exact known tool materials, finished-item uses, and the farm-or-buy decision.

Crafting / Consumables

Create raid flasks, combat potions, healing/mana potions, transmuted epic gems, alchemist stones, and utility reagents from herbs, vials, elements, and gems.
