My Favorite Dragonflight Professions! Ranked Worst to Best! | Dragonflight | WoW Gold Making Guide 

As a new player, I have not found anyone talking about Profession's unique utilities or the impacts on Gameplay content, but how to make gold. For example: Just realized you can get a Battle Res if you have Enginering and Potion's effects are enhanced if you choose alchemy. Mind doing a TOP tier profession based on utilities provided or items exclusive enchantments only for those with certain profession?

Really appreciate your breakdown on each profession.

Hi Penguin, really glad I’ve watched all your videos before release and I now have all of them up, including 3 jewelcrafting, 2 inscription and 2 alchemy twice to get diversity in talent trees. I’m not much of a gold maker but I’m usually aiming for independance 🇫🇷 I think you should also mention artisan’s mettle somewhere in your videos, some professions generates plenty while other need a lot. I find myself having characters with thousands and others painfully waiting for some. My top list would be as follows : - Inscription : fun, a lot of recipes easy to reach, missives with resourcefulness maxed is unexpected income with regular awakened X saved. - Alchemy : also fun ! I like the gamble aspect when crafting for myself or my guild but ah cancel war, no thanks. I paired it with a gathering profession so It generates artisan’s mettles. - Leatherworking : great when you focus on comps, very nice with profession tools !! This is usually my favorite but chosing between mail or leather is very disappointing. - Blacksmithing : very happy to procure high level weapons for my main characters so early in the game ! Cost me so much though to buy all those alloys since I rushed the weapons … one has to make some sacrifices. - Engineering : because fisherfriend otherwise I hate this profession. - Jewelcrafting : lariat cast shadows all over the place but nice when you have ton of alts and also with profession tools. - Tailoring : cloaks for the alts but then as you said garmentcrafting is sad and feels like a dead end. - Enchanting : since I like to do all by myself I feel like I can’t get all enchantments needed rank 3 on my own which is a problem. Btw thank god for the bottle of pheromones in skinning. I ve been waiting for years for this kind of thing … 🥰 Love you !

Found your channel today and subscribed. Keep up the good work ! I have only been playing wow for a month. Your videos help me so much :)

My go to was always alchemy and jewelcrafting in the past, but this expansion I've got to say thank god for leatherworking, tailoring and enchanting! I've managed to shuffle over 3 million gold in 2 months and geared up my alts and main with leatherworking. Too bad you have to decide whether you want to focus on leather or mail, otherwise it would have been my favourite. Btw love your content! Always informative and no viewsfarming. Keep up the work.

Wow I went in thinking I wanted to do enchanting and tailoring and this video sold me!

Love the summary of each profession. I'd like ro see a video on shuffles if you are willing to do it. I know it may disrupt the market slightly in the present, but I'm always struggling to find shuffles going into a new expansion. Some resources on how to find them would be appreciated.

Thank you for another great video. My main is Ench/Tailor and am definitely enjoying the $$

Im with you about Blacksmithing!!..It was always my favorite. Its so grinding now its a bummer!!

Love your videos! Very informative thank you

Love your vids Penguin! keep going!

as always nice video. For me blacksmithing made 30mil in DF so far (only alloys) so would place it higher but you had to start early to do it

Great video! What would be really helpful is a guide on how to make profit on a profession when you're so far behind the hardcore goblins on knowledge points (such as if you were starting now). Max you can get on your first week is like 60 KP. Some people have 250!

That's interesting to hear. I have had some profit success with Inscription and a great deal of income through Blacksmithing. Tailoring was making a great income in bags early on, but recently has hit a wall on my server. You can only make about 10-15g per bag now (normal bags) and even the chronoweave is hit and miss. I am going to have to take a closer look at enchanting but, i haven't found a way to make a single item for profit yet. As always love your content and good to hear other perspectives!

I would love to see a video on what the professions have to offer for passive or mostly passive gold making. Like right now, I am taking enchanting and tailoring on my characters just for the extra drops I have to do nothing extra for. Are there other professions like this or something else you would recommend for low effort gold making with professions?

New to wow here! thanks for the vid! Quick question for tailoring is there a prefer gathering to pair it up with?

Good one, keep it up.

For me it's: enchanting < bs < lw < engi < tailoring < jc < insc < alchi enchanting is so terrible it's not even a joke. 6 sales per day per server per enchant, constantly undercut and no profit. Alchemy you can do as much as you want, it always sells. And Inscription also always sells but takes time to craft. Shame they murdered fortune cookies in 10.0.7 tho, insc would be #1. Professions which sell so much that you do not have to sit in the ah at all, just post twice per day, have got to be on top.

I don't play the auction house, but I just wanted to say that I enjoyed the video, as always. Fwiw I like blacksmithing and tailoring.

I play with 3 characters. A night elf hunter which has skinning and leather working, a human mage with enchanting and tailoring, lastly a dwarf warrior with mining and blacksmithing. Since I don’t do pvp, these 3 characters compliment each other so I don’t have to depend on the auction house so much.

What would help is to know not only what profession is good but also which items are good to sell. I have Blacksmith and on my caster Tailoring but because of the fact i have no high end recipes i cant make money with it because with the standard items i have so much competition that i got always undercut in no time. Very frustrating to start with professions especially blacksmith is damn expensiv.

this is a great video thanks for making it i been doing alchemy since bfa and its usually a unending supply of gold each day around 100k but this expansion its really hard to make it work i have a alchemy with pretty good points but i can barely make any gold most of the times i lose gold and im on a full pop server on eu i tried jewelcrafting too but its the same thing same as my miner and herbalist to be honest i dont know if its me or this expansion is just too hard to make a profit

Great Video ! Il have a drood with mining and gathering. Now i play a DH with engineering but i don't know what to choose for the second profession. Any Idea?

if its making gold well it seems about right though transmutes are a good seller so idk with the alch. Now best for you if its like that well JC is near the top with alch than bs lw or tailor is next for your class

does the first node of primal extraction from enchanting effect the bait infusions from skinning? in other words can you get more rousing elements if you did infusions decay, order, frost, earth with the first node of primal extraction active?

Hi, in which specialization path do I have to focus to craft the blue silken lining in quality 3? Or in that specific item it's almost impossible to reach that point and have to rely on inspiration? Thanks.

Am alt capped tyvm for analysis

If someone could help that would be great!! If I get enchanting what should my other profession be? Like with professions go with each other? I’m just starting out making alts and I’m confused as what should have what. I hope that makes sense, any help much appreciated:-)

love your channel bro, it's simple and you know what. for once a goblin that's not trying to sell me their outdated guide for 19.99 😅

The biggest problem for me is that to sell anything I need to sit at the ah for an hour and cancel scan. Yeah I know thats how region ah works but other than crafted gear there isn't really anything else to do in crafting. Got the skill for missives but cancel scanning something that makes 20g profit just feels bad, runed writherbarks are so camped and runes most of the time don't make profit. I just maxed out JC and it's gonna be the same probably. I'm just at the point where I'm maxing out trees and feels like I'm already too late. On the flipside, seems like old glyphs are making profit again and lot of people forgot about this market. I need a big restock though.

For me Artisan Mettle kill leveling profession. I have no renown, i play casually.

spec in professions is important as is play style and renounds are key lets say 4 tailors each maxed with no spec points well ds and val will do best

Great video. I enjoyed hearing your opinions and the reasons behind them. However, in future, please don’t have someone hammering away at the left side of the screen. It’s distracting an exhausting.

excellent tank you

Tailor enchant was the best set profession from SL expansion and DF haha

I haven’t done much with professions yet but which ones would you say would be best to do at this point?

previous xpac bags still sell and the bag size is not that much different

Thanks for the video, just came back and am broke lol. Time to get grinding.

I just wanna add that, as always with goldmaking, the best method is highly dependent on your server's economy. I've been selling BS pvp gear at 10k a piece, about one sold every hour, and it takes me like 15secs to craft and post, cancel scanning only once every 3 hours. Just yesterday I discovered an untapped Eng market on my server; I never bothered with Eng bc I heard it was bad, yet with about 10k of investment to level it, I made 30k in 2 hrs just selling green prof tools at 7-10k each. On the other hand, stuff like tailoring bags do very badly on my server because the sale volume is very low (about 5 sales every 2-3 hours, at maybe 100g profit each). So unless you are on a super high pop server where the market is saturated, always check your server's economy! Chances are that there exist gold opportunities to be found.

Haven't sold a single zapthrottle soul inhaler in a week :( I could cancel scan more, but I probably do it 10ish times a day. My server might just be too competitive.

ur the best

I don't know, maybe it's just my very populated region wide market, but anything I try just isn't selling. Crafted 100 standard bags, they haven't sold all for 2 weeks while crashing during the time (and I reposted them every 10 hours). I even crafted like 10 blue bags but after a month they still haven't sold, I lost like 50k doing that. Don't know how you can be selling so much stuff, they just don't sell on my realm. Even tailoring cooldowns are loss generating on my realm (based on craftsim)

Would you recommend Tailoring for a non-cloth user?

thanks for the video. im a warrior is it ok that i pick up tailoring for earning gold? i am currently is minering and herbalist.

for those who want to start now with a profession, which ones would you recommend for long term gold gains?

Alchemy is horrible to make gold with, the only gold making perhaps that works are the primal contigents. BS is pretty bad too but the saving grace is crafting old recipes. JC is the best I think due to the battle pets.

the best part is when I switched from tailoring to Alchemy for DF launch :)

i used to make gold from certificate of owenrship with enscription but some people decided to ruin that market, went from 800G to 86G per and now you cant even make profit on those leaving me with a stock of 500+.

I saw a video that had alch in S tier, put all my gold into it just to realize it actually sucks 😂 seems to be ok for raiding so I didn’t just drop it but I am disappointed

Brrooo 😢 i was gonna make a philophers stone with alchemy but really its a dead end profession with the product taking up bag space.

How much gold have you made this expansion

Definitely misspent all points: scribe (missives rip) / JC (gems rip) / BS (small armour rip) / enchanting (no shuffle co-profs)

For me from worst to best is worst: all of them best: none, and here’s why. I play mostly m+ and I do not have that much time for it as well on df same like in SL I’ve got 1-2h a week to spend gold making. In SL that was enough to make 100 to 200 if I’m lucky a week that way I’ve made over 10mln. In DF sometimes I do not have time gather all knowledge and do quests that way I’m super far behind and it’s extremely extremely hard to make profit if 2month into xpac you like 20-40 points behind then everyone else. If gold making is your main thing you probably having a blast right now but if it’s 2nd the. It’s kind of hard imo. But that only might be me

Wait Alchemy is lower than inscription? I wouldn’t have guessed

So it is still tailoring+Enchanting? Lol so they managed to get to Dragonflight, they managed to repeat (not improve!) vanilla and they still did not balanced two best professions since vanilla? What a bunch of simpletons. Edit: very good content, thanks!

The common theme in your discussions of each profession is the element of a HUGE time sink for each one… I can’t wait for your analyses of the time required for 9.0 expansion crafting and 10.0 crafting… for those players that had a profession or two to help finance their wow play. 10.0 has been an absolute disaster… where guilds had many participants in professions in earlier expansions, they now only have one or two per profession due to the unnecessary complexity and HUGE grind requirements in both knowledge and skills plus the normal rep grinds… only players who actually only do professions as their wow time, have benefitted from the new system… thus yes you are making huge gold but mostly because so many have left the marketplace… thus you and influencers like you who can spend 8-12 hours a day benefit whilst those who cannot afford that time sync due to school, work, and / or family just can’t compete… so instead of snarky comments, I await the time comparison between 9.0 professions initial setup and then maintenance compared to 10.0, and then explain how this new system is fun and engaging if you are limited to just 10 hours play a week, with 6 hours dedicated to raid / pvp, two hours to rep grind and two hours to professions…

Are these rankings still relevant?

I just came back with minning and JC and i have to say it kinda sucks hahah

Made 7mil from JC and only 1.5mil from BS...:( Blizzard, make BS great again!

Engineering not being at the bottom is kinda sus

alchemy is a mess atm

They really massacred alchemy in this expansion. Hoping for some love in the future.

yeah Enchanting is easily making a killing this expansion, it's practically gross.

there is no profit making bags. false ranking overall
