When playing World of Warcraft, you are given the choice of picking 2 primary professions. There are a total of 11 Primary professions so you really have a limited number to master. With those, there are also 3 Secondary Professions. These are not limited to a number that you can train so you are able to master all 3 if you like. These include First aid, Cooking, and Fishing
First Aid – This is a useful and fairly quick profession to level up. It only requires Cloth materials. You start out using linen cloths and work your way up to Frostweave Cloth. If you had the materials or gold to buy them all, this could be maxed out in a few hours easily. The benefit is great for non healing type classes to have some way to heal themselves up even a little bit while in combat. At the highest with the Heavy Frostweave Bandage, you are able to heal yourself for 5800 health over 8 seconds. Not really that much, but in a PVP fight it makes a huge difference.
Cooking – This is a great secondary profession to have because it not only benefits you but your entire group/raid. It can be costly if you are buying all the materials yourself but it is worth it. Once you are Grand Master you will have a nice variety of recipes to make food that will give you extremely valuable buffs. You also can get the ultimate recipe, the fish feast. This is something you can put down for your entire group or raid to use and get a nice food buff. There is also a cooking daily, you will have to do this in order to get the high level recipes as you buy them with the quest reward “Dalaran Cooking Award” and each recipe needs more than one of these.
Fishing – Fishing is very cheap to train, but it is one of the most times consuming of all professions, primary and secondary. You won’t see many people who have a maxed out skill because it takes so long to level up once you are at a certain point. The advantage of this profession is that it give you reagents for your cooking recipes and there is also a fishing daily that is very worthwhile to do as you can sometimes get great items from the reward.
