I want to know “am I there already?” is what I am asking. I think the part that you are missing in my question is not “can I get to it?” which I understand may or may not involve skill leveling I am not asking anything along those lines. The base skill level for that expansion was not high enough to learn those plans. Is my engineering alt high enough to learn Mekgineers chopper? I have to know the skill level for that particular expansion. Otherwise, just by looking at my single skill number, I cannot know: If that is true then I only need to track yes/no for each skill for each expansion, but it is still a lot to keep track of. Unless you are saying: “Once you have learned the base skill, then you have a high enough skill to learn/farm any plan/resource for that expansion.” Is that what you are saying? e.g., If I train the base level tailoring for classic, then I am high enough at that point to craft Onyxia Hide Cloak? Which was certainly not a base level crafting skill back in Classic. So it definitely sounds as I was saying in my first post, I now have 88 skill level numbers to keep track of on my spreadsheet. I have far too many alts and professions to keep track of what I learned where and when, so the idea of “if I learned X before or after xpac or if my skill level was X before or after BfA” then the answer is yes/no… that is just too much. I can’t break it out, all in my head, which alt has done what. I just don’t see how I can look at one number and know whether I have a high enough skill level for any given plan or node gathering. I must also know what my skill level is for that expansion see? That means that as I was asking before, I will need to track the skill level for each expansion? What it tells me is even if I have 100 BfA mining, I cannot tell by looking at my skill level alone whether or not I can mine or craft X. That is my understanding, and it is exactly why I am asking my question. “If you WoD mining is at 43, that has no relation to whether you can mine Saronite Ore (a WotLK material).” I understand your previous answer, and I’m sure you are answering a question I am not asking. In the case of characters that you leveled prior to the change at the end of Legion, they will have all of their profession tiers maxed - so if you had 400 mining before, you will now have max level mining for Classic through WoD (or through Pandaria? I forget what the old caps were), but will still need to learn the base rank for the subsequent expansions, just like you formerly needed to learn Apprentice/Journeyman/Expert/Master/etc. Simply put, it’s a simple yes/no “have I learned that base tier” for farming professions.
Even at level 0 Northrend mining, you will still be able to mine Saronite Ore nodes. Once you have learned that, you will be able to mine from any Northrend node with no restrictions. If you WoD mining is at 43, that has no relation to whether you can mine Saronite Ore (a WotLK material).įor farming skills, as long as you have learned the appropriate base tier (for Saronite Ore that means learning Northrend Mining from a trainer, just like you would have before the changes). We’re both getting a little crossed here. Tell me it is not as ridiculous as it sounds. There are 7 expansions which means 8 levels of professions, and there are 11 professions, so it sounds to me like I need to track 88 different professions levels. I have a lot invested and really hate to give it all up. Since my toon will now be 120, how am I supposed to learn and craft items for expansion levels and plans that I have skipped?.Ĭrafting was probably 1/3 of the game to me, and I’ve been here since 2005, so this is pretty important to me. If I boost my leatherworker to 120, and then change to Engineering, can I craft items for my 40? (because I will not have leveled engineering at the appropriate level. If I have tailoring for example on a 110, can I craft items for my 80 or my 40?
Four 110’s, on 80, and four mule/professions alts at 40.
I have professions at various levels on alts at various levels. I have professions on all my alts, so I can craft for my alts, not all of which are at 110. Th profession on my toon is not just for that specific toon. So if the professions have been separated into 8 different categories, with a different level/bar for each expansion, how do I know if I can craft item “X” for one of my alts? This is because the profession window will always show the bar most appropriate to the character’s level
