Even in video games, we can't escape 9-5. Raids, dungeons, and excavations alone can't cover half of what a World of Warcraft adventurer needs. But that's where the professions come in – these jobs, which can be done side by side, are great ways to give your character some personality and earn some gold while doing it.

World Of Warcraft: The War In – 9 Best Things To Do First
Confused about where to start? Here's how to jump into The War With.
There are many different professions in the game, but some are more useful than others in The War Within Expansion. Fun and profitable (the best combination), these are some of the best professions to use in elgar fur.
10 mine
Eeney, Meeny, Mine-y, Moe
In terms of an early game career, mining can't be beat. Mining is one of two professions that grant experience leveling when used. This means that every bit of ore mined brings one character closer to max level. This is one of the best options to consider when leveling up a new character, as it basically passively generates experience. Just run to any node you see and get to work!
However, its use does not end there. Ore is used in many important recipes – making it very valuable in the auction house. Although mining is not the biggest gold earner, it is a classic choice for professional slots.
9 Botany
Go touch the grass
Botany is the second profession that grants leveling experience when used. This is a very powerful nuisance – some players have even used Herbalism to completely level up characters. But botany is not just picking flowers. Herbs harvested from plant nodes play a very important role in alchemical and culinary recipes, making botany one of the backbones of the auction house.
While it may not be as lucrative as a trendy item, botanicals are one of the most consistent investments in the gold market. And it's fun – who doesn't like to be outdoors collecting plants? Botany is a great choice for anyone looking for an extra coin and some extra XP.
8 fishing
Teach a player to fish, they are fed for life
If there's a more relaxing profession in World of Warcraft, it's fishing. Fishing is one of the best ways to pass the time in the game and it can also be profitable. Just go to the nearest fishing instructor and get started. Fishing is very easy – just cast your line and wait.

7 cooking
Let them cook
Everyone, from the Tankiest of Tanks to the Healiest of Healers, needs to eat. A good dish can make all the difference in a dangerous raid, so it's best to level up the cooking profession early and often. The cooking profession, which any character can learn regardless of professional status, allows characters to cook a variety of delicious and nutritious dishes.
These meals can help enthusiasts boost character skills and make certain baked items very valuable in the auction house. The War Within has added tons of recipes to learn, so get cooking in Khaz Algar.
6 tailoring
Who says fashion is lame?
If your character wears cloth armor, tailoring is a good profession for them. Tailoring can create a variety of things, but primarily this profession focuses on cloth armor. Mages, Warlocks, and Priests can craft their own armor sets with Tailoring, and those who don't use cloth armor can craft it to sell in the auction house.
With the addition of Warbands in The War Within, Tailoring can be a great way to get armor for the cloth-armored alts in your life. Plus, a seamstress can make bags—and everyone loves bags. Put down that sword and start sewing today.
5 jewelry making
Sparkling like a diamond
Best believe players are still in The War Within Bejeweled – Jewelcrafting is one of the most popular career choices. And not just for bling. Jewelers make jewelry (shockingly) as well as necklaces and trinkets that can be used to increase players' power levels.

Mine to maximize your gold production, because then you won't need to spend ore from the auction house. Then all you have to do is run around mining everything in sight, and you'll soon have a stash of ore to turn into beautiful gems. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but jewels are a Warcraft player's best friend with Jewelcrafting.
4 leather work
Go work on the leather
Leather is always cool, or so we've heard. Either way, leather is always in demand in World of Warcraft, making leatherworking a very popular profession. Leatherworking provides armor for classes such as Rogues, Druids, Shamans, and Monks. They can also make cloaks that can be used by any type of character in the game.
This large pool of potential customers means that leather workers almost always make money in some way, shape, or form. It might not be glamorous, but hey, everyone needs a cape and armor. Pick up the Skinning profession so you can harvest reagents from slain characters on the go.
3 blacksmithing
Stop, hammer time
Death Knights, Paladins and Warriors needn't worry – the blacksmith is still around in The War Within, making them look sleeker than ever. Smithing involves creating various metal pieces, primarily Mail and Plate armor for the classes that use it. They can also make complex and powerful weapons, some of which are the best.
But the real power of Blacksmithing is the raw materials they can craft for classes like Enchanters. Without solid blacksmiths, those bastards would get away with everything. The War Within is a very dwarven-centric expansion, so get back to your dwarven roots and pick up the hammer.
2 alchemy
Double bubble, trouble and trouble
For someone who doesn't like the thought of mixing a potion or two – for those who want to brew more than just beer, alchemy will be a great career to choose in the War Within. Alchemy is one of those professions that will always be used, as alchemists can create flasks, potions, and oils that people seek out, hoping to maximize their damage and healing.

Alchemists primarily use herbs, so it's a good idea to level Botany at the same time as alchemy. Elgar fur has many hidden places and just as many hidden plants – be sure to harvest them and turn them into liquid gold with alchemy.
1 mesmerizing
I will put a spell on you
Enchanting is consistently one of the best professions available in World of Warcraft – and that's entirely because of what it produces. Enchanting creates enchantments that are used on different types of armor. These enchantments add variety to armor stat boosts – which is vital for those doing late-game content like Mythic+ or Raids.
In certain situations, a good spell can be the difference between victory and wipeout, meaning that many people are willing to pay handsomely for them. Going to Enchanting is guaranteed gold, but difficult to get into due to the time and gold required. For those willing to put in the work, Enchanting is still really worth it.
