WoW Season of Discovery Tier List: Best Professions to Learn

An essential profession for all mail-wearing classes so you can get some powerful Pre-Raid BiS items and craft some great gear so you can level up much easier whilst also getting some gold in the meantime. 

Although the limitations in SoD Phase 1 might make it difficult to farm ores, you should still be able to fully utilize the available crafting recipes.

Shifting Silver Breastplate

• Exclusive only to Blacksmithing

Leatherworking offers a lot of value given how many classes wear leather gear, so you can rack up some easy gold on the Auction House and gain access to Void-Touched items that are currently meta-defining.

• Exclusive only to Leatherworking

 

Void-Touched Leather Gauntlets

• Exclusive only to Leatherworking

Tailoring has a lot of demand as bag space is very limited in Phase 1 of Season of Discovery, so bags are in heavy demand. Every tailor can get a steady supply of gold whilst also being able to craft another Void-Touched item. 

 

Extraplanar Spidersilk Boots

• Exclusive only to Tailoring

Although Engineering has always been the most essential profession in Vanilla, it still holds a lot of relevance even when your skill level is limited to 150 during Phase 1. You can craft some essential Pre-Raid BiS gear for most classes and get access to some useful gadgets and bombs to make your gameplay more enjoyable.

This profession will likely scale up as more phases are introduced to the game, as consumables are one of the most important parts of late-game raiding and maximizing your class' potential. 

You can even get some gold as the materials you can craft are essential to craft Void-Touched gear.

A staple for classes that do not have access to healing abilities, a well-timed bandage can help you survive a dangerous pull or encounter so you should always have some bandages on hand. This secondary profession is a must if you would like to level up and minimize any damage that comes your way.

Enchanting currently does not offer too much value in these early levels, although all players looking to min-max are always grateful for getting a slight edge by having their gear enchanted so you can even make some gold from that as well.

You can cook up some good meals that offer minor stat boosts, but it can help you when you are farming materials and run out of food or don't have any bandages available so you can heal up and get back into your adventures.

Since you are not limited by how many secondary professions you can get, you should pick up this either way.
