FishingPlaybookTroll Shaman's full plan for launch
Your plan: Mining + Engineering (+ Cooking, Fishing, First Aid), both from level 5. Mining feeds Engineering: every vein gives you the ore and stone the next schematics need, and smelting bars also raises Mining. Mail, armor kits and the Light Leather for goggles are Leatherworking crafts; a leatherworker friend or the Auction House covers them.
Mining
Ore, stone and bars for Engineering
SKILL 20
Lodestone
Melee attack power for nearby players; not with Blessing of Might
SKILL 140
Rock Garden
Grows a common mining node at camp
SKILL 300
Molten Foundry
Smelt Heavy Thorium and other Foundry recipes
Smelting counts toward Mining skill Reported. New Scarce minerals: Pyrite, Bauxite and Pitchblende (Pitchblende + Coal = Azerothium Bar). The Lodestone buff is melee attack power, so it helps your party rather than an Elemental Shaman. Goblin Mining Helmet (+5 Mining, mail) is a Goblin Engineering craft at 205 Reported.
Engineering
Gadgets, a battle rez for others, camp bots
SKILL 20

Gnomish or Goblin specialization at skill 200 Reported. No caster goggles have been found. There is no Engineering totem: Shaman totem relics are Enchanting crafts Confirmed.
Leatherworking mail and kits for Shaman casters
| Pattern | Skill | Cost | For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skycaller’s Mail Shoulders · Bracers · Sabatons · Belt | 210 · 225 · 235 · 250 | 60 · 60 · 90 · 90 Favor | Elemental: spell damage/healing, Int, Sta Reported |
| Mender’s Mail Shoulders · Bracers · Sabatons · Belt | 210 · 225 · 235 · 250 | 60 · 60 · 90 · 90 Favor | Restoration: healing-leaning, Int, Sta Reported |
| Totemic Leather Belt · Gloves · Boots · Hood · Tunic · Leggings | 60–125 | 30 Favor each | Before 40: spell damage/healing, Int, Str Reported |
| Wisdom’s / Stormrider’s Leather (same slots) | 60–125 | 30 Favor each | Restoration / Elemental leveling Reported |
| Mystic Rugged Armor Kit | 250 | ACA vendor | Spell power on your gear Reported |
Patterns sell for Merchant’s Favor at Durotar Supply and Logistics, just west of the Crossroads (about 49.7, 29.4). Favor is earned per character, so whoever crafts these buys the patterns with their own crates.

Mining 1–300Reported
You mine your own ore, so this is a zone route that follows the Shaman journey from Durotar to Winterspring rather than a shopping list. Mine every vein you pass and smelt as you go: bars feed Engineering and smelting also raises Mining. Every rank is taught by city trainers (Krunn in Razor Hill, Makaru in Orgrimmar), so there is no remote Artisan trip. Vein skill requirements are unchanged from Classic; the zone lists are Classic-baseline because Forever spawn data is not in the client.
What is different in Forever
- Smelting raises Mining skill, and new smelting recipes come from the Mining trainer as your skill rises (Icy Veins).
- Poor Copper Veins are new in the starting zones and give Copper Ore and Rough Stone; the Oct 1 beta build reduced how many spawn.
- New Scarce minerals: Pyrite (Sulfuric Acid for Alchemy), Bauxite (new recipes, some Enchanting) and Pitchblende. Pitchblende and Coal smelt into the new Azerothium Bar. Bountiful Harvest (Legacy, 5 ranks) gives up to +100% Scarce materials.
- New Heavy Thorium Bar is smelted at a Molten Foundry (Mining 300 camp object); where Heavy Thorium Ore spawns is not known yet.
- Sources disagree on the skill for the two new bars: classicwowforever.com (client data) lists Azerothium 275 and Heavy Thorium 300; kingboost.net lists 260 and 285.
- Camp objects: Lodestone (20, melee attack power, not with Blessing of Might), Rock Garden (140, grows a common node), Molten Foundry (300).
- Skill boosts: Miner's Cape (+2, Miner Johnson, Deadmines), Goblin Mining Helmet (+5, Goblin Engineering 205, mail), Enchant Gloves - Mining (+2) and Advanced Mining (+5). Some endgame veins need more than 300.
- Find Minerals and Find Herbs share one tracking slot.
- Waylaid Crates include ore and ingot crates (Apprentice to Artisan); hand them in sealed for Merchant's Favor outside the Crossroads.
Leveling steps
| Skill | Where | Gather | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–65 | Valley of Trials, Durotar, the Barrens | Copper Vein (1), Poor Copper Vein | Smelt Copper Bars as you go (yellow from 25). Rough Stone feeds Engineering's Rough Blasting Powder. |
| 65–125 | The Barrens, Ashenvale, Hillsbrad Foothills, Thousand Needles | Tin Vein (65), Silver Vein (75) | Bronze Bars (Copper + Tin) and Silver Bars give skill too. Expert at 125 needs character level 20. |
| 125–175 | Desolace, Alterac Mountains, Arathi Highlands, Stranglethorn Vale | Iron Deposit (125), Gold Vein (155) | Iron Bars (125) and Steel Bars (Iron + Coal, 165) carry Engineering's Big Iron Bomb step. |
| 175–245 | Alterac Mountains, Badlands, The Hinterlands, Tanaris, Searing Gorge | Mithril Deposit (175), Truesilver Deposit (230), Dark Iron Deposit (230) | Artisan at 200 needs character level 35. Dark Iron Bars need the Black Forge in Blackrock Depths. |
| 245–275 | Un'Goro Crater, Burning Steppes, Swamp of Sorrows, Felwood | Small Thorium Vein (245) | Thorium Bars from 250 feed Engineering's Thorium Tubes. |
| 275–300 | Winterspring, Azshara, Eastern Plaguelands | Rich Thorium Vein (275) | Azerothium Bar (Pitchblende + Coal) at 275. Place the Molten Foundry at 300. |
Trainers
- Apprentice (1-75, no requirement)
- Norzsh (Valley of Trials), Krunn (Razor Hill), Makaru (Valley of Honor, Orgrimmar), Brek Stonehoof (Thunder Bluff), Brom Killian (Undercity)
- Journeyman (skill 50, level 10)
- Krunn (Razor Hill), Makaru (Orgrimmar), Brek Stonehoof (Thunder Bluff), Brom Killian (Undercity), Johan Focht (The Sepulcher)
- Expert (skill 125, level 20)
- Same trainers as Journeyman
- Artisan (skill 200, level 35)
- Same trainers as Journeyman; neutral trainers also in Gadgetzan (Pikkle) and Powderfuse Port, Riverglades (Grungle)
Sources
Data note: Vein skill requirements, trainers and camp objects are Forever-specific (Icy Veins, classicwowforever.com). Zone lists are Classic-baseline: Forever spawn data is not in the client, and the beta capped professions at 225, so nothing past Mithril is tested.
Engineering 1–300Confirmed
This route follows a Forever-specific 1–300 Engineering path (classicwowforever.com), cross-checked with wow-professions.com's Forever guide. Your own Mining supplies the stone, ore and bars; mine and smelt a range ahead so each step is ready. Light Leather and Medium Leather (Flying Tiger Goggles, Bronze Frameworks) come from the Tauren Hunter (Skinning) or the Auction House. Train in Orgrimmar through Expert, then with Buzzek Bracketswing in Gadgetzan for Artisan (200–300). Merchant's Favor schematics (SAF-T and EZ-Thro lines, goggles) can replace a step if you would rather spend Favor than buy stacks. Where a range has two routes, the cheaper and more reliable one is listed.
What is different in Forever
- Merchant's Favor schematics observed for Engineering (45 Favor tier): SAF-T Tabs/Dynamite (25), SAF-T Copper Bomb (55), Satchel of Copper Bombs (85), EZ-Thro Wrap (100), EZ-Thro Copper Bomb XL (130), No Slip SAF-T Padding (145) - all can stand in for the equivalent Classic bomb/powder crafting step at the same skill range.
- 45 Favor tier also covers Mystic/Shadow Goggles (145), Ornate Spyglass (160), Minor Recombobulator (165), Moonsight Rifle (170).
- 180 Favor tier (per foreverchanges.pro): Satchel of Bronze Bombs (165), Clanking Cord/Gizmo Girdle/Whimsical Waistwrap/SAF-T Bell (175), EZ-Thro Fireproof Fuse (190), goggles (200) - a second source (foreverchanges.pro Merchant's Favor listing) instead grouped several of these under a 120-Favor tier alongside Mechanical Dragonling (220), Goblin Land Mine (215) and Mithril Frag Bomb (215); the two Forever-tracking sites do not fully agree on exact Favor costs, so treat the Favor numbers as approximate and check in-game before saving up.
- 270 Favor tier: 225-285 skill items (e.g. Sniper Scope 260, Green Lens 265, Truesilver Transformer 270, Gnomish Alarm-O-Bot 275, Goblin Jumper Cables XL 285).
- 360 Favor tier: skill-300 items, plus a 1,000-Favor 'Engineering Certification' at skill 300 that grants a profession title (cosmetic).
- Gnomish vs Goblin specialization unlocks at skill 200 / character level 30ish, chosen at your class trainer or specialization NPC; Forever kept this Classic-style split rather than merging the trees.
- Campsite Engineering objects confirmed to exist in Forever: Reagent Bot (skill 20), Repair Bot (skill 140), Anarchist's Workbench (skill 300) - sources describe these as a tiered set but did not give per-item mechanical detail beyond the skill gates already known from the request; treat exact functionality as unconfirmed until you can inspect them in-beta.
- At least 5 low/mid recipes reportedly use different materials in Forever versus Classic Era (Rough Dynamite, EZ-Thro Dynamite, EZ-Thro Dynamite II and similar renamed/adjusted recipes) - the steps below use the Forever versions where a Forever-specific guide named them, and fall back to the unchanged Classic recipe name otherwise.
Leveling steps
| Skill | Craft this | How many | Materials | Learn from | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–35 | Rough Blasting Powder | ~66 | 66 Rough Stone (mined or bought) | Known from level 1 (starter recipe) | Forever Merchant's Favor SAF-T Tabs/Dynamite (25 Favor, 45-Favor tier) can substitute for part of this range if you'd rather spend Favor than mine. |

| 258–274 | Mithril Gyro-Shot | ~35 | 70 Mithril Bar, 70 Solid Blasting Powder | Artisan trainer recipe | Sniper Scope (260), Green Lens (265), Truesilver Transformer (270) are Favor buys across this stretch. |

Trainers
- Apprentice/Journeyman (1-125)
- Horde: Thund, Nogg, Roxxik in Orgrimmar; Graham Van Talen, Franklin Lloyd in Undercity
- Expert (125-200)
- Same Horde trainers listed above generally teach through Expert; confirm with in-game trainer list once you hit 125
- Artisan (200-300)
- Buzzek Bracketswing, Gadgetzan, Tanaris
Gnomish or Goblin? Neither Gnomish nor Goblin gives a Shaman a direct combat edge - both branches are utility/trinket trees, not spell power - so pick by which toolkit you'll actually use. Goblin Engineering is the stronger fit for an Elemental/Restoration Shaman: Goblin Jumper Cables (and later Jumper Cables XL) give you an off-healer emergency battle-rez/self-rez, which meshes well with a support-leaning hybrid, and the Everlook (Winterspring) teleport is convenient for Thorium farming late in this same leveling path. Gnomish Engineering's draw is the Gadgetzan teleport (handy since your Artisan trainer is there) and utility toys (shrink ray, mind-control cap) rather than anything that helps healing or elemental DPS. If you're unsure, note that some players level Gnomish first for the world-utility toys, then re-level to unlock Goblin recipes later - but that costs real time/gold twice, so for a single main pick Goblin for the combat-rez utility.

Cooking 1–300Reported
Forever-specific route confirmed via wow-professions.com/forever and allthings.how camping guide, cross-checked against Classic-baseline recipe brackets (mats overlap heavily with Classic). Horde trainers: Orgrimmar, Undercity, Thunder Bluff, plus Durotar/Zephras-adjacent starting-zone trainers.
What is different in Forever
- Cooking now unlocks the Basic Campfire/camping system at skill 1 (crafted from Simple Wood + Flint and Tinder); the fire holds up to 3 crafted camp objects and grants buffs after sitting/crafting near it for 1 minute (buff lasts 1 hour).
- At Cooking skill ~90 you unlock the Journeyman Campfire kit (5 object slots, requires Star Wood); at ~200 the Expert Campfire kit (10 object slots, requires Thick Logs).
- Well Fed: crafted food now grants +5% bonus XP from kills (eat 10 seconds for 15 minutes of buff), stacking on top of any existing stat buff the food already gave; the Cozy Sleeping Bag (a camp object/quest reward) raises this to +8% kill XP while camped.
- Blueprint: Cookie's Feast is a campsite recipe that drops from Cookie in the Deadmines; requires Cooking skill 140 to use. It places a shared feast table (~10 servings) giving basic healing plus the temporary 5% XP buff. Note: reported reagents are drops from level 35+ mobs, so the blueprint is commonly picked up in Deadmines well before you can supply it.
- Expert Cookbook and Artisan cooking quest gating (below) match Classic-era structure; Forever sources do not report changes to those gates.

Sources
Data note: Medium-high: skill brackets and recipe names are Forever-specific (wow-professions.com Forever section); campfire kit thresholds (90/200) and Well Fed +5%/+8% figures corroborated across two independent Forever sources but exact Cozy Sleeping Bag mechanic not directly confirmed on a single page (inferred from task brief + partial corroboration on kill-XP bonus mechanic).
Fishing 1–300Reported
Forever-specific campsite tiers confirmed (wowclassicforever.info, allthings.how); zone-by-zone fishing routes are Classic-baseline since no Forever source gave detailed pool locations — fish available scale with zone level, not caster skill, per Classic mechanics reiterated by the Forever sources.
What is different in Forever
- Fish Bowl unlocks at Fishing skill 20, giving +8% to all stats while camped.
- Fishing Rack unlocks at Fishing skill ~140 (Journeyman-tier camp object): adds uncommon fish to the pool plus skill-boosting lures, on top of the +8% stat buff.
- Fishing Hut unlocks at Fishing skill ~300 (top tier): adds rare fish plus skill lures, on top of the +8% stat buff.
- Legacy perk 'Luremaster': while a lure is applied, 25% chance per catch to land an extra fish.
- As in Classic, a zone's fish become catchable once your Fishing skill exceeds that zone's fish-skill floor — there is no need to 'match' skill precisely, just exceed the pool's requirement.
Leveling steps
| Skill | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1–75 | Durotar coastal pools / Orgrimmar fountains (Troll Shaman); Zephras Isle shoreline pools (Skyborne Druid) — any starting-zone water works | Learn Fishing and grab the Fish Bowl camp object recipe as soon as you hit skill 20. |
| 75–150 | Any Kalimdor/Durotar-adjacent zone water (e.g., The Barrens, Ashenvale coast) — fish anywhere convenient, skill gain is not location-gated below your effective cap | Fishing Rack becomes available around skill 140 — place it at your camp for the uncommon-fish/lure bonus. |
| 150–225 | Stranglethorn Vale coast, Tanaris coast, or any zone whose fish pools sit at/above your current skill | Apply lures for Luremaster's extra-catch chance to speed leveling. |
| 225–300 | Tanaris (Gadgetzan coast/Zul'Farrak canals), Winterspring lakes for Nightfin Snapper | Fishing Hut unlocks at skill 300 — place it once ready for the rare-fish/lure bonus; useful heading into endgame fishing dailies (Booty Bay/Everlook tournaments if present in Forever). |
Sources
Data note: Medium: campsite object tiers and skill thresholds are Forever-specific and corroborated across two sources; exact zone-by-zone routes are Classic-baseline generalization since no fetched Forever source gave a location-by-location 1-300 route.
First Aid 1–300Reported
Bandage line (Classic-baseline, from Warcraft Tavern's Classic 1-300 guide) plus the confirmed Forever-specific change moving the Healing Potion line from Alchemy into First Aid (Icy Veins). Where the potion change alters leveling specifics beyond the six potions/skill levels below, that detail is not yet published — flagged as unknown.
What is different in Forever
- CONFIRMED (Icy Veins): six Healing Potions have moved from Alchemy to First Aid — Minor Healing Potion (First Aid 55), Lesser Healing Potion (85), Healing Potion (135), Greater Healing Potion (155), Superior Healing Potion (215), Major Healing Potion (275).
- These potions still require herbs and vials (Alchemy-style reagents) but reportedly ALSO require Cooking-made items (Mild Spices / Hot Spices) as a component — exact quantities per potion are not published in sources fetched.
- UNKNOWN: whether learning these potions requires separate trainer purchase/quest beyond normal First Aid rank-ups, whether bandage skill-up rates changed to accommodate parallel potion crafting, and full reagent lists per potion. Treat the potion track as a parallel/optional track alongside the bandage track below rather than a replacement, until more detail is published.
- No Forever-specific change to the Expert/Artisan book-and-quest gating was found; assume Classic-era gating below still applies.
