WoW Blacksmithing Guide

Below is a great resource intended to help you level Blacksmithing from 1-375. It is best that you use this in conjuction with Mining and mine as many of your materials as possible (Ore & Stone, mainly) This will save you a lot of money on the Auction House, give you a second level 375 skill and provide you with the means to make more money later (check out our Mining Guide for more information on mining.) However, you can certainly follow this guide without mining.

Paladin Tank Pre-Karazhan Gear

When I started doing research in how to gear up my Paladin I found that a lot of the gearing is the same as for my Warrior, for that reason this guide ended up looking a lot like my Warrior Pre-Kara guide. The most significant difference is that you're going to want to get some decent +Spell Damage. The best place to do this without sacrificing other stats is to put it on your sword. Since your sword does not need to have high damage (most of your threat is generated through Holy Spell Damage).

WoW Jewelcrafting Guide

Before you get started you MUST READ THIS GUIDE so that you can load up on gold and not waste time farming easily obtainable items

This 1-375 Jewelcrafting should help you level jewelcrafting as efficiently as possible. In some situations you might find it easier to just check your abilities and craft the yellow items that you have the materials for. Other times you might get stuck and wonder what the easiest way from one level to the next is, that's where this guide will help you. Please leave any comments if you find anything that needs to be corrected or have advice for this guide. Enjoy:

WoW Inscription Guide (1-450)

What are Inscriptions?

Scribes are going to create Glpyhs which are attached to characters and augment abilities. You will be able to change the characteristics of a spell to enhance its damage, cooldown, or the effects it has.

WoW Tailoring Guide

Here is an apprentice to mastery tailoring guide (levels 1 to 375). The process for tailoring is among one of the most demanding professions to power leveling, requiring an amazingly large amount of Netherweave (around 3,000) just to get through the 300s. Below are step by step instructions to power level tailoring using only basic recipes and materials. You'll see comments for most of the cloth, basically these are linchpins to tailoring. Unfortunately Blizzard has created a high demand for cloth throughout the tailoring skill but only allowed you to gain 10-15 levels per tier.

WoW Leatherworking Guide

This leatherworking guide will provide you with rough guidelines for power leveling your leatherworking profession from 1-375. The numbers given are the lowest possible needed to reach the goal level, in reality each craft will take a few more materials than listed. I've provided a master shopping list at the bottom of each table for each level of the tradeskill, I recommend buffering those numbers a little bit by only buying what you need before crafting so you have minimal left over materials.

WoW Engineering Guide

This is a engineering guide to get you from 1-375. It provides a method to level up your engineering, which has been selected for its low cost and simplicity. However, no matter what, engineering is going to be awfully expensive to grind. It is well worth it though, as it is one of the most hilarious and enjoyable professions in PvP with awesome items like the Discombulator Ray.

WoW Enchanting Guide

Enchanting took a hit after Blizzard removed the ability for any enchanter to disenchant any item, enchanters who had only adopted that profession to disenchant were forced to level up (like me). Here are the instructions that got me to an enchanting skill of 300 quickly. Hopefully they will work for you. As with most of our guides, you'll see that the numbers are based on bare minimums, meaning you're unlikely to get by with only that # of materials. I recommend you increase each quanity by about 120-150% depending on the # of levels that material is used to level up.

WoW Alchemy Guide

Alchemy is a very important part of high end PvP and raid content. Almost everyone has the pots that they want for any important confrontation with either a raid boss or a world PvP target. You can either be a supplier with lvl 375 alchemy, a beggar who dumps tons of gold on the Auction House to get their daily fix, or a guild leach who is always getting discount pots from the guild alchemist. If you're here, you've probably already decided to choose the former. So, in light of such independence, it is easier than it may seem to level alchemy to 375.
