Blacksmithingīlacksmithing is the second best base legendary profession in my experience, just slightly behind leatherworking. Crafter’s mark 2 gear is also quite profitable and with 2 armor classes and tons of classes covered leatherworking takes the top spot here as well. The long term profit is really high, but there is a large entry-level cost, once you get past that you can pull it in. Base legendaries in general is the best raw profit margin by a fairly significant margin and leatherworking has the largest number of recipes, as well as the lowest competition as it is the most expensive one. Leatherworking is by far the most expensive profession to level, assuming you want to level base legendaries, which you do. If you like and want to cancel scan alchemy is perfect, otherwise, it is much worse, even if you can make a good chunk of gold. S-Tier Alchemy (if you like cancel-scanning)Īlchemy is one of the professions with the largest amount of potential gold, but the competition is extremely high. What works for someone might not be the best for someone else. The true potential will vary a lot across different realms and different playstyles. This list will not be the whole truth of course. Tier lists are all the rage across the internet, so let’s go through my thoughts on the state of Shadowlands professions.
