Gold Making (Fresh Phase 1)

LW secures Kara spots; Tail/Enc casters self-gear to T4. Transmute Might during herb dips.

Dual-spec Eng on melee alts for PvP swaps post-Kara. Fresh bot swarms crash Mining/Herb 50% Week 1—pivot to Tail cooldowns for stable 5k/day.

Caster Core: Tailoring + Enchanting

Netherweave fuels cooldown cloths for epic robes and healing mantles. Specialists double output; Spellthread legs add permanent spell power/stam—AH goldmines. Enchant rings (+30 SP/healing) stay relevant to Sunwell; DE Tailor greens for mats loop.

• Holy Priest: Mooncloth regen + healing rings for 5% mana edge.

• Arcane Mage: Spellcloth hit gear, vendoring patterns post-Magtheridon.

Stockpile via Karazhan BoE drops; Phase 2 cloth floods halve AH value—craft early, hoard patterns.

Melee Powerhouse: Leatherworking & Blacksmithing

Drums of Battle (+80 haste party/raid) mandate LW raid spots; Elemental spec rogue crit sets, Dragonscale hunter agility. Weaponsmith hammers stun (4s Deep Thunder) and proc (100 STR Lionheart)—PvP broken, Phase 1-2 staple.

Enh shamans drum + dual-wield hammers for trash clears; fury axes proc in arenas. Skin/Mine alts for mats; T5 tokens obsolete sets quicker on fresh servers—plan dual-spec pivot.

Gold Machines: Alchemy, Jewelcrafting, Engineering

Transmuter procs extra Primal Might for 5x Spellstrike crafts; buy cauldrons raid-wide. JC prospects ore for Phase 1 epic gems (unique limit). Eng Goblin Launcher stuns pulls, 4k absorb shield arenas, flying mounts utility kings—goggles possibly Phase 2 delayed.

Farmers alt JC/Mine; tanks Eng stamina trinkets. Hybrid Mine/JC; PTR notes hint goggles Phase 2—bridge with Tailor head BiS.

Class-Tuned Picks: PvP vs PvE

Dual spec enables ring swaps. PvE: Drums/weapons mandatory; PvP: Eng absorbs/stuns dominate.

TBC Classic Anniversary Professions FAQs

How do I unlock Tailoring specializations?

Level 60/350 skill, Shattrath quest for Moon/Shadow/Spellcloth. Doubles 4-day CDs; unlocks Spellfire/Wrath sets (Phase 1 caster BiS). Tip: 2-hour chain—Enchant alt DEs greens for reagents.

Best Phase 1 gold profession?

Tailoring CDs + Alchemy Might transmutes (5-20k/week). JC prospects follow. Strategy: Low-pop servers early; Auctionator tracks. Bots crash gathering—alt-farm nights.

Optimal for Enhancement Shaman?

LW (Drums/Dragonscale) + BS (haste weapons). +80 raid haste; Lionheart melee spikes. Suggest: Eng dual-spec bombs. Dominates P1-2, T5 fade.

Gathering viable on Anniversary?

Herbalism/Mining for self-mats, but 2021 bots repeat. 2-3k/hour Felweed early. Druid flight form edges; pair Mine/JC gems.

Engineering for PvE tanks?

Essential: Stamina trinkets + rocket pulls. Sappers trash; goggles Phase 2? Utility trumps gear—macro backfires.

Jewelcrafting without Mining?

AH ore viable, but Mining doubles via prospects (1/5 gems). Early epics unique; cut/sell steady. Skip pure power—Enchant rings > 1 gem.
