Finding recipes is what makes a dedicated gatherer, beyond earning achievements and doing tasks diligently simply for points. You are solely responsible for the collection rate; sometimes the amount of time you spend can be frustrating, but it's exhilarating when you finish a set of recipes, it feels like you've completed part of a long puzzle. It's fun getting the recipes all over Azeroth, when so many achievements and quests are easy for us. In addition, you can find generous characters willing to pay hundreds of gold for your recipes.
I started collecting recipes seriously during the early days of CCH (Icecrown Citadel). I learned with my priest various inscription techniques and tailoring patterns, just as a Death Knight learns more about Blacksmithing. I began to care more about my Rogue's Enchantment, finished several of my Warlock's Engineering schematics, and hoped to transmute again with my Main Character. For unknown reasons, Jewelry and Leatherworking never had a particular charm perhaps it is because I have developed those professions purely for the benefit of raids and happily without knowing it to take the Tailoring and Engineering mounts.
About a year has passed, and I still hang around the collections. I really enjoy figuring out which Burning Crusade reputations my new 85 needs to get some patterns, or which World of Wacraft Original Bosses (Vanilla) need to be Sunny. Since the project started, there has been a progression in the raids and achievement hunt with points as a priority, but it's always fun to come back.
In the following guide, I will highlight some of the more peculiar patterns, collection methods, and achievements of each profession. We have recently updated our profession pages to cover the more practical aspects of each.
Primary professions
Your characters can have only 2 primary professions such as: Alchemy, Ironworks., Enchantment, Engineering, Herbalism, Registration, Jewelry, Mining, Skinning, Tailoring. If you get 525 skill points in two primary professions you will complete Work from sunrise to sunset.
Alchemy
Alchemists can create numerous potions and elixirs, as well as master the transmutation of elements and gems. There are numerous spoils in the world, unique vendor recipes, reputation rewards, as well as the probability of discover new recipes as you go creating.
-
Discoveries are a way to learn many recipes. In the process of creating new items, you will have a small chance to learn new recipes.
-
All the Protection Boilers are discovered individually creating Major Protection Potions, mostly spoils of specific monsters.
-
The discoveries of BC (Burning crusade) transmutation, bottles, and rejuvenation super potion They are found creating BC (Burning Crusade) objects.
-
Alchemy Research in Northrend, available with 400 skill points with a 3-day reuse, will allow you to learn 13 recipes.
-
Transmutation of Eternals in Northrend Lets You Discover More transmutation.
-
-
17 recipes stripped of specific monsters. Their chances of loot seem less than expected since non-Alchemists will always be considered and looted the monster's loot, and have been unable to see the recipes. Recipe: Major Holy Protection Potion it's still a headache to farm because there aren't many monsters; Recipe: Iron Shield Potion It takes a while to get to the Old Hillsbrad Foothills. the rest is not so difficult; Farming heroic instances from Outland or killing lots of monsters with area powers shouldn't take long.
-
There are vendors all over Azeroth who sell special recipes, some with a limited reappearance such as: Recipe: Frost Oil.
-
What's new about Cataclysm is: Recipe: Vials of the Sands, sometimes you find it in the Canopy glass, with the Tol'vir Archeology.
Ironworks.
Blacksmiths are primarily plate armor makers as well as: Ebony Steel Buckle. Collecting recipes from Blacksmithing is a difficult process, you will have to find specific recipes for tanks, dps, y healers. There used to be blacksmith specializations (Weaponsmith and Armor Smith) that allowed characters to learn a handful of recipes, this was removed, but still contains bugs, for example players cannot learn the opposite patterns to their specialization. Sure, there are many patterns available via reputation. Blacksmithing is difficult to climb, so good luck if you want to reach the maximum skill level.
-
In addition to the instructors, you can buy plans for: punra, which can be obtained from any smithy supply vendor in capital cities.
-
There are a number of books on Advanced Armorsmiths in various instances of the original World of Warcraft (Vanilla), when you put everything together and return them to their rightful NPCs, it will reward you with Enchanted Thorium, a set of armor.
-
From Molten Core to the Firelands, there are a number of unique recipes for raids: Plans: Elemental Whetstone, Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, Fountain of the Sun Plateau, Hyjal Summit, SSC, Dark temple, and Firelands. You can also loot a number of armor sets, very difficult to farm: Runic Plate, Reinforced Colbalt, steel, Vile Steel, and Corio.
-
Completing the mission with the required items: Coded Twilight Text and handing it over to Hermit Ortell in Silithus you should get the Dark Rune Armor Set eventually in the mail.
-
Set Barbaric It is only available to the Horde in a series of missions of Orokk Omosh. With the reward of the designs of the set.

-
Several Blacksmith Designs that respawn in dungeons like Blackrock Depths and Stratholme, such as: Design: Corruption, Design: serenity, Design: Dark Iron mesh, Plans: Dark Iron Shoulders.
-
Many interesting Blacksmithing missions were removed in Cataclysm, such as: Lilith the Agile and his friends in Winterspring who instructed you in weapon specializations, sending you on missions to Word of Warcraft dungeons that rewarded you with patterns. Plans: Demon-Forged Breastplate It was a reward from a quest in Winterspring, but has since been removed with the changes to the zones. Plans: Fiery Plate Gauntlets, of the mission Scorching deathhas been removed. And saddest of all is the elimination of the epic quest chain of the Light of Trenton in Tanaris, which rewards fans with Shimmering Mithril Insignia y Seal of Expertise, and invoked the epic Hammer: Hammer of Expertise.
Enchantment
El Enchantment allows players to disenchant items, create enchantments, and enchant their rings with special stats. There are also fun objects such as: Magic lamp! With the passage of expansions, the means of collecting the formulas has been simplified, but some of the World of Warcraft Original (Vanilla) and BC- (Burning Crusade) will still be difficult to find. Many expansion formulas: Wrath of the Lich King can be purchased from Vanessa StoresAs Senthii by Celestial shard y Crystal Maelstrom.
-
Some dungeons have unique formulas like: Ulduar, The Temple and Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, Formula: Enchant Weapon - Mongoose, Formula: Enchant Weapon - Soul Frost, Formula: Enchant Weapon - Sunfire y Formula: Enchant Boots - Lead Feet From Karazhan. The Molten Core has two: Formula: Enchant Weapon - Healing Power y Formula: Enchant Weapon - Spell PowerBut those are less likely to be stripped.
-
Some specific monsters In BC (Burning Crusade) they used to have a very low probability of releasing certain formulas. Since then this probability has increased by almost 100%.
-
Keep visiting the Auction House, you will surely find these rare loot formulas: Formula: Enchant Shield - Lesser Block, Formula: Enchant Shield - Shield Block, Formula: Enchant Chest - Superior Stats. Hopefully, no one is going to know that they are important and you can get it.
-
Northrend has some Specific monster recipes: Icecrown Multi-Part Cloak Enchantments and In'dule Fishing Enchantments in the Dragonblight.

Engineering
Engineering offers all kinds of pumps, glasses, gadgets, articles and fun with flavor. Engineering was in high demand to create ammunition in past expansions, but that was removed. There are two types of specializations: Gnome and Goblin. You cannot retain what you have learned in one specialization if you switch to the other, choose wisely and not just for a particular silly item.
