WotLK 425-450 Profession Leveling Guides
I made this guide because a lot of twinks and other players who don't have the Cataclysm expansion asked me. If you find something wrong, please send an e-mail to me.

You can make this one up to 450 if you want to, it's basically free skill-ups since you're going to either use the Dusts/Essences anyway or you can sell them for more than you got the Crystals for.

Engineering
- 350 - 370
You will need around 50 [Handful of Cobalt Bolts] and 24 [Volatile Blasting Trigger] later. Make these now, and you should reach 375 or probably more. Note that when you craft [Handful of Cobalt Bolts] you can get 1 or 3 bolts, and the same goes for [Volatile Blasting Trigger], you will get 2 [Volatile Blasting Trigger] each craft.
35 x [1-3 Handful of Cobalt Bolts] - 70 Cobalt Bar
- 370 - 377
Save these.12 x [2 Volatile Blasting Trigger] - 36 Cobalt Bar, 12 Crystallized Water
- 377 - 385
Save these too, you will need them.10 x [Overcharged Capacitor] - 40 Cobalt Bar, 10 Crystallized Earth
- 385 - 390
6 x [Explosive Decoy] - 6 Frostweave Cloth, 18 Volatile Blasting Trigger
- 390 - 400
Save these too, you will need them later.You will probably reach more than 400, then stop making these and make more only if you need it.
15 x [Froststeel Tube] - 120 Cobalt Bar, 15 Crystallized Water
- 400 - 405
5 x [Diamond-cut Refractor Scope] - 5 Froststeel Tube, 10 Handful of Cobalt Bolts

- 430 - 435
5 x [Noise Machine] - 10 Froststeel Tube, 10 Overcharged Capacitor, 40 Handful of Cobalt Bolts
- 435 - 449
When you reach 435, you can make your [Wormhole Generator: Northrend] and your epic Engineering Helm at 440, however if you want to level your Engineering past 440, you should wait with both until 448, because there are only green recipes at that point, but the Goggles and the [Wormhole Generator: Northrend] are still orange.
You will probably need to make more than 25 of these. Buy the knieves, hammers and picks from your supply vendor.
25 x [Gnomish Army Knife] - 250 Saronite Bar, 25 Skinning Knife, 25 Minning Pick, 25 Blacksmithing Hammer
- 449 - 450
1 x [Wormhole Generator: Northrend] - 8 Titanium Bar, 2 Eternal Fire, 2 Eternal Shadow, 2 Eternal Water, 2 Eternal Air
Inscription
- 420 - 430
13 x [Scroll of Agility VIII] - 13 Ink of the Sea, 26 Resilient Parchment
- 430 - 450
The best strategy is stop leveling Inscription at about skill 430, and simply conduct regular Northrend Inscription Research.
Jewelcrafting
- 425 - 440
You can continue to make [Dream Signet], if you are not planning on to sell the meta gems at the Auction House.Buy 15 [Skyflare Diamond] or [Earthsiege Diamond]
There are plenty of meta gem recipes, choose one of them and make it 15 times. You can learn some recipes from your trainer, and some of them are sold by Tiffany Cartier in Dalaran, there is also a lot of them dropped by bosses and mobs around Northrend.
- 440 - 441
1 [Icy Prism] - 1 Frozen Orb, 1 Chalcedony, 1 Shadow Crystal, 1 Dark Jade
- 441 - 450
More meta gems. Usually 13-14 [Skyflare Diamond] or [Earthsiege Diamond] is enough.
Leatherworking
- 425-435
13 x [Overcast Handwraps] - 130 Heavy Borean Leather, 13 Eternal WaterThe recipe sold by Braeg Stoutbeard in Dalaran. It costs 3 Heavy Borean Leather.
- 435-440
You might need to make more of these than 5, because the recipes will be yellow.
5 x [Frosthide Leg Armor] - 10 Arctic Fur, 10 Nerubian Chitin, 5 Frozen Orb
or
5 x [Icescale Leg Armor] - 10 Arctic Fur, 10 Icy Dragonscale, 5 Frozen Orb
- 440-450
You can continue to make the recipes above, you will sell them at AH anyway and you will get most of your gold back. The faster way is to craft any epic items you learn at 440, search for players on the trade channel who need those items and tell them you will craft it for free. If you have lots of gold, you should just buy the materials and craft those items, then sell them at the Auction House.
Tailoring
- 425 - 440
20 x [Frostweave Bag] - 120 Bolt of Imbued Frostweave, 40 Eternium Thread
You should make around 20 of these, it depends on your luck. The recipe goes yellow at 430 and green at 440, but you should make these because you will sell them at AH anyway, so you will get most of your gold back. Don't flood the AH, only put in a few bags at once. It might take weeks or even months before you sell all of them. Try to make Bags for your friends, tell them to bring the materials for it.
Per Frostweave Bag:
60 x Frostweave Cloth
12 x Infinite Dust
2 x Eternium Thread
- 440 - 450
When you reach 440 you will be able to make new epic recipes, try to find players who need those epic items and craft the items for them if they bring the materials. You can also continue to make [Frostweave Bags].
Do you want to reach level 90 fast?
I recommend Zygor's Leveling Guide. The guide is in an small window on your main screen in-game. All the detail that you need to complete the quest is included. You’ll never have to switch back to a website, or even the in-game main map to see where you have to go or what’s next. The guide is available for both Horde and Alliance.
I use Zygor's guide for leveling and I highly recommend it.
