Posted: Jun 27, 2025 Views: 259
In WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria, in addition to customizing your character’s race and class, you can also choose different professions as one of your means of survival.
Regardless of what faction, race, or class you choose in the game, all professions are available to you. However, certain racial traits provide additional bonuses for specific professions.
In general, professions in WoW Classic MoP are a set of industry-oriented skills. By learning and gradually improving these skills from trainers, you can collect, craft, and enhance in-game items, or earn WoW MoP Classic gold.
Compared to the early games, Mists of Pandaria Classic, which will be launched on July 21, has also made changes to the profession system for you to get a better experience. We will introduce these changes to you based on the original mechanism.
What Is Spirit Of Harmony?
In addition to understanding the changes to each profession, the first thing you need to know is that MoP Classic adds a new item to the game called Spirit of Harmony.
It is actually a Bind on Pickup (BoP) crafting material that can be found on all lootable creatures throughout Pandaria, and all professions can utilize it to craft the items they need. In addition, you can exchange it for other additional rewards or materials you need.
If you can’t get enough Spirit of Harmony in a short time, you can also utilize 10 more easily obtained Motes of Harmony to synthesize a Spirit of Harmony.
Alchemy
This profession can make special mixtures by mixing potions, elixirs, flasks, oils and other alchemical substances to restore your health and mana, or enhance your attributes.
In WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria, one of the changes this profession has received is that the demand for the herb Golden Lotus has increased in order to craft more new items, such as the swiftness potion that can turn you into a Jinyu Assassin in a short time. Other changes include:
- Alchemist Stones can be found in the world as random upgradable quest items.
- Alchemy can also help other professions by converting Living Steel.
Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, And Tailoring
These three professions are grouped together because their epic recipes all require Spirit of Harmony. In addition, the raid recipes for these three professions will drop from similar monsters and bosses.
Enchanting
In WoW MoP, the materials available to this profession can be upgraded or downgraded as needed, but downgrading requires additional consumption and produces less enchantment dust than upgrading.
In addition, the aura effects of enchantments have gained a dimmer switch, and their effect on enchanted items has been reduced.
Engineering
WoW MoP Classic allows engineers to create a new pet Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling, while removing the restrictions on engineers using new items such as bombs and Dragonling trinkets. It also adds a portable anvil and forge for you to utilize as a blacksmith.
Herbalism
The herb Golden Lotus not only has an effect on Alchemy, but also has a chance to grant a treasure finding buff to a herbalist who picks it. Other herbs worth keeping an eye out for as a herbalist in Mists of Pandaria Classic include:
- Green Tea Leaf
- Rain Poppy
- Silkweed
- Snow Lily
- Fool’s Cap
Mining
The game allows miners to mine new ores and utilize them to craft other advanced items or gear, such as:
- Ghost Iron: This ubiquitous ore can be crafted into strong, lightweight armor.
- Trillium: A rarer metal that comes in black and white and is occasionally found in areas where Ghost Iron is common. Mixing equal amounts of the two colors of ore creates an ingot with metalworking properties.
- Kyparite: Crystallized sap from Kypari trees that can be utilized to craft weapons and epic armor.
Skinning
You can always get a full hide as a skinner, but due to the game mechanics, weaker animals are sometimes eroded by Sha, resulting in only partial hides being usable. Alternatively, you can choose to convert 50 pieces of hide into other better materials.
Jewelcrafting
Originally, you can choose the color of the gem you want to explore from six different exploration recipes, but after the game added Spirit of Harmony, the daily exploration cooldown can be cancelled by it.
In addition, the number of Jeweler’s Gems you can equip is limited to two to improve the convenience of equipment. And you will be able to explore Meta Gems, as well as create a Scrying Gem - to help you observe far away.
More changes include:
- You can make a new leopard mount for anyone to obtain or ride.
- You can get a Grab Bag in Vale of Eternal, and there is a chance to get Meta Gems and two new Jewelcrafting pet recipes through it.
The above are the profession changes worth your attention. The game will launch a pre-patch on July 1st. Please remember to go online and experience it in time!
