How do you actually level professions these days?

[solinari6]

I've gotten a ways into WoD as a leatherworker so far, and built the tannery building. I'm still only 602, though despite a big pile of leather I've got. I just don't really have anything that awards skill ups. The daily research does. And one other thing ... I think it requires some weirdo materials I've never seen yet.

I bought 2 recipes so far, the drums, and epic shoulders. The drums don't give a skill up, and the shoulders will take forever to save up 100 burnished leathers. Is it really supposed to be this slow to level professions?

You need to use the Secrets to buy recipes for things you can use to skill up. No point in buying recipies for epics and stuff yet... in fact it seems to be a bit of a trap.

Is there a list of which recipes I should be buying? I couldn't tell from the seller which ones would give me a skillup (or maybe I missed that?)

great website for guiding you through professions

ah, great, thanks! Not sure why I didn't think of searching for that! Is it just me or is some of this stuff more confusing than Blizz normally does? This whole garrison/profession thing really needs to be explained more in game, imho

Also remember that there's no real rush to level to 700- you'll get more mats from your CDs, but no new recipes.

To level a profession to the max you need at least 20 days, lol.

Don't even pay attention to your LW skill. You can already make all the things.

idd, and thats when you use the fastest possible way, for tailoring i can max it out in 22 days but then i loose out making the epic craftables which is very nice to have when you start up on raiding, since i can get my 3 craftable epics in about 18-20 days. they could certainly reduce the length of the work orders.

You receive more mats from your work orders, the higher your skill is. So it does matter.
