Thera WotLK 3.3.5a profession
Convert cloth into bandages for out-of-combat and emergency healing, progressing from Linen through Frostweave and Heavy Frostweave.
A-to-Z route
Do not craft random orange recipes. Pick a finished-item lane, secure the materials, and use first crafts, Knowledge, cooldowns, or server phase rules to advance.
Linen Bandage / Heavy Linen Bandage.
Wool Bandage / Heavy Wool Bandage.
Silk and Heavy Silk Bandages.
Mageweave and Runecloth Bandages.
Netherweave and Heavy Netherweave Bandages.
Frostweave and Heavy Frostweave Bandages; obtain Manual if required by server rules.
Specialization / focus
Your first points should support the items you plan to craft or gather every week. Avoid spreading points across unrelated branches before your first market or guild-support lane is functional.
Production catalog
Each card shows the ingredient family, acquisition method, recipe source, and a repeatable production workflow.
Material acquisition
Use this source map before purchasing. Farm when the route also advances your character or weekly objectives; buy when opportunity cost is higher than the AH price.
