The TL;DR Battle Plan

You have every profession from last expansion but need to re-level them all in Midnight. Don't level them all at once — fund the expensive ones with a free gathering profession first. Here's the order that gets you to positive cash flow the fastest.

Leveling priority order (your main)

Herbalism FIRST. Fastest to set up (~2–3 hrs) and it earns 200k–400k gold while you level it — instant cash flow with zero Knowledge-Point investment. This bankrolls everything below.
Then one high-churn crafter — Alchemy or Jewelcrafting. ~5–8 hrs Alchemy = highest passive weekly income (flasks/potions burn constantly). Jewelcrafting = gem market + Mining synergy. Pick one.
Inscription for the single highest weekly profit ceiling (missives, Vantus Runes) plus the brand-new player-housing décor market.
Combat-gear professions LAST (or skip). Blacksmithing / Leatherworking / Engineering lost ground this expansion — crafted gear is now less profitable than gems, embellishments & consumables. Only level them if you want to serve a specific gear/embellishment niche.

💡 Alts: give them Herbalism only. Gathering needs no KP investment, and Warband storage lets alts feed mats to your main with zero mailing friction. Park a gatherer on every alt.

The core weekly money loop

Farm herbs Monday (mounted, on your gathering route).
Craft flasks / pots / gems Tuesday morning before raid reset.
Post on the Tue / Wed / Sun demand spikes and sell all week.

3 rules that decide your profit

Concentrate, don't spread. Finish ONE high-value spec branch before touching others — KP compounds.
Front-load high-churn output. Spend first KP on what you re-sell constantly (flasks, gems, missives), never one-off gear nodes.
Grab every one-time KP early. 24 from world treasures + ~20 from Renown/Abundance books = 44+ free points to bank up front.

Professions & Specialization Unlock Order

B

Why it shakes out this way

Herbalism wins on barrier-to-entry — 150k–250k g/hr, zero investment, scales with playtime.
Alchemy wins on consumable churn — flasks/potions are consumed every single raid night (2M–5M g/week).
Inscription & Jewelcrafting balance both — high weekly ceiling + steady demand (missives/gems sell without crafting orders).
Blacksmithing / LW / Engineering dropped to B because the market shifted to trinkets, embellishments & gems over crafted combat gear.

Class & Spec PvE Guides

All 39 specs with current Season 1 (12.0.7) Raid & Mythic+ tiers and a complete in-app guide for each — rotation & priority, cooldowns, defensives, talents & hero trees, stat priority, bonus-roll targets, and live top-player data. Everything's here; no need to leave the site.

🔥 Top M+ DPS

Unholy DK — S
Augmentation Evoker — S
Havoc DH — A+

⚔️ Top Raid DPS

Frost DK — S
Survival Hunter — S
Demonology Lock — S

💚 Best Healer / 🛡️ Tank

Mistweaver Monk — S healer
Guardian Druid — S tank (M+)
Prot Warrior — S tank (raid)

⚠️ Tiers are a snapshot and shift with weekly tuning. The live top-player panel inside each guide always reflects what the best players are currently running.

Mythic+ Comp Builder

Tell it which specs you (and your group) can field — by hand or by importing characters — and it builds the best 5-player comp from what you have, balancing meta tier with key utility (Bloodlust, battle-rez, interrupts). The live panel pulls real top-key compositions per dungeon from the Blizzard leaderboards.

2 · Build a comp

Add at least a tank, a healer and 3 DPS to your roster, then build.

3 · What the top keys are running

Most-seen specs by role in the highest leading groups. ✅ = you can field it from your roster. Use the dungeon dropdown above to filter.

Builder uses the in-app Season 1 tiers + a utility model, so it works even offline. The live panel samples one large connected realm's leaderboards (cached 12h) — first load can take a few seconds.

Knowledge Point Optimization

KP is the currency of profession profit. It is not refundable once spent (a spec-reset was datamined for 12.0.5 — verify before gambling points). Get the free one-time points immediately, then concentrate.

Weekly repeatable sources

Source	KP / wk
Patron (NPC) Crafting Orders — the big one	16–24
Gathering specimens (gatherers, has catch-up)	~6
Weekly profession quests (lvl 25+)	1–4
Darkmoon Faire quest (monthly)	3
Treasure / disenchant drops	~2
Thalassian Treatise (Inscription, warbound)	1

One-time sources — grab ASAP

Source	KP
8 world Profession Treasures (3 each, never repeat)	24
Renown Faction book (750 Voidlight Marl + 75 Moxie)	10
Abundance Vendor book (gatherers)	10
First-time craft / first-time gather	1 ea

That's 44+ guaranteed points you can bank in your first days instead of grinding weeks of repeatables.

The 5 early-spend principles

Rush the treasures + Renown/Abundance books. 44+ one-time KP front-loads your whole season.
Concentrate on one branch per profession. KP compounds — finishing the flask node (Alch), gem-cut node (JC) or missive node (Inscription) gets you a sellable max-quality item fastest.
Front-load the highest-churn output — flasks, gems, Vantus Runes, enchants — never one-off gear nodes.
Do Patron Crafting Orders every week. Your biggest KP faucet (16–24) and they pay 80k–150k g/hr while you do them.
Spend Artisan's Moxie deliberately. It's character-bound & gates top recipes + housing décor — you can't transfer it between professions.

⚙️ What changed this expansion: Artisan's Acuity is gone, replaced by per-profession Artisan's Moxie (earned alongside KP). Quality tiers shrank — gear 5→3 stars, consumables/mats 3→2 — so hitting top quality is easier but leans harder on Concentration. Crafting hub moved to Silvermoon City.
