WoW Burning Crusade Classic: Best Professions for a Mage

Leatherworking

Leatherworking is a top choice, especially in TBC, despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of drums. Even if they end up nerfing the drums, their potential profitability is just a bonus. So, how do you make gold with Leatherworking? First, there are various armor kits, such as Heavy Knothide Armor Kits, as well as Cleft-Hide and Cobrahide leg armors. These items will be in high demand, providing leatherworkers with a steady stream of daily sales.

Leatherworkers can also craft several best-in-slot (BiS) armor pieces for various classes, depending on how well-geared players are from Classic. New players might want entire sets of these pre-BiS items, offering another opportunity for profit. One cool aspect of Leatherworking is that if you run dungeons for reputation while leveling, you can acquire the recipes for these pre-BiS items early on. The faster you craft and sell these, the more gold you can make, so leveling quickly and running dungeons can be highly lucrative.

However, making money with Leatherworking might be more challenging than with other professions because the Auction House can sometimes be flooded with leathercrafted items.

Tailoring

Skipping Tailoring can put you behind in gear, so it’s highly recommended if you’re serious about PvE. The Frozen Shadoweave Boots, Frozen Shadoweave Robe, and the set bonus from Spellstrike are best-in-slot until Tier 5.
