# WoW Forever professions: every one, and what each adds to a camp

> In World of Warcraft: Forever you learn two of nine primary professions and all three secondary ones. What each profession adds to the new campsites, when you unlock it, and the Legacy Perks that help.

By Mercer. Published 4 November 2026.

> **How many professions you can learn: 2 primary, 3 secondary.**
>
> Pick two of the nine primary professions. Cooking, Fishing and First Aid are secondary, and you can learn all three.

Learn a profession from a trainer in the world or in a major city. To drop one, open the Professions tab (K) and click the X beside it. Each profession goes from Apprentice to Journeyman, Expert and Artisan.[^1]

**The professions**

| Type | Professions |
| --- | --- |
| Gathering (primary) | Herbalism, Mining, Skinning |
| Crafting (primary) | Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking, Tailoring |
| Secondary | Cooking, Fishing, First Aid |

[^1]

## What’s new: camps

Cooking’s fire becomes a Basic Campfire, a shared campsite that holds up to three camp features, one from each nearby player. Sit or craft at a campsite for a minute and you get the benefit of every feature there. Each one copies a class buff and doesn’t stack with it.[^1]

**What each profession adds to a camp**

| Profession | Camp feature | What it gives everyone sitting nearby |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cooking | Basic Campfire | Cooking, and room for three more features. |
| Alchemy | Mana Well | 10 to 29 mana every 5 seconds. Doesn’t stack with Blessing of Wisdom. |
| Blacksmithing | Sharpening Wheel | 6 to 34 Strength. Doesn’t stack with Strength of Earth Totem. |
| Enchanting | Enchanted Lute | Armor, all stats and all resistances. Doesn’t stack with Mark of the Wild. |
| Engineering | Reagent Bot | Lets nearby players buy reagents. |
| First Aid | First Aid Kit | 3 to 56 Stamina. Doesn’t stack with Power Word: Fortitude. |
| Fishing | Fishing Bowl | 8% more stats. Doesn’t stack with Blessing of Kings. |
| Herbalism | Incense Candle | 2 to 25 Intellect. Doesn’t stack with Arcane Intellect. |
| Leatherworking | Camp Tent | Rested experience worth 5% of a level. |
| Skinning | Camp Chair | 2% more critical strike chance. Doesn’t stack with Moonkin Aura. |
| Tailoring | Faction Banner | 14 to 32 Spirit for your faction. Doesn’t stack with Divine Spirit. |

Amounts grow with your level. Every camp feature needs a campfire nearby, and they share a one-hour cooldown.[^1]

You unlock a profession’s first camp items at skill 20, from starter zone quests or the profession trainer. Those for skill 140 and up drop in dungeons and raids.[^1]

## Other changes

- **Over 600 new recipes** across the professions and level ranges, with advanced Blueprint recipes dropping from dungeon bosses.[^2]
- **Food** has been adjusted, and some of it gives a small experience bonus along with stats.[^2]

## Legacy Perks for professions

Crafting levels count toward the Legacy System, the new account-wide progression. Reaching 150 in a crafting profession is one way to unlock it, and each crafting profession earns a Legacy Point at 150, 225 and 300 skill.[^3] The Professions tree spends those points on perks such as Bountiful Harvest and Dedicated Study, and the Adventure tree’s Field Guide shortens the camp feature cooldown.[^3]
