Profession Help

Your next craft, material list and trainer location — inside the game.

Profession Help is a free profession companion for the original English WoW 3.3.5a client (Interface 30300). This alpha includes routes for all 14 professions and whole-step craft estimates configured for x3 profession skill gains. Compatibility with modern Retail or Classic clients is not claimed.

What it helps you do

• Browse 1–450 leveling routes and choose the next recipe.
• See estimated craft counts, learned recipe materials, bag quantities and missing amounts.
• Keep useful components with KEEP / USE / SELL guidance.
• Check training reminders and use Show on map for catalogued trainers and vendors.
• View optional Auctionator prices and recorded vendor purchase prices.
• Open the guide from the minimap or with /ph. No login popup; automatic opening stops at skill 450.

All 14 professions

Engineering, Tailoring, Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Inscription, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, Cooking, First Aid, Mining, Herbalism, Skinning and Fishing. Gathering guides show suggested areas rather than exact resource spawns.

Installation and first use

1. Close WoW and extract the ProfessionHelp folder into Interface/AddOns.
2. Enable Profession Help at character selection.
3. Open your profession or type /ph. Use the Profession selector to browse another guide.
4. Open your own matching profession and clear its filters to load learned recipes and materials.
5. Select a step, review training and materials, then craft a small batch and recheck your actual skill.

Use Refresh to update skill, materials and available prices. In Leveling it also returns to your current step. Keep SavedVariables when updating. Auctionator is optional.

Alpha limitations

Craft counts are whole-step estimates, not a remaining count or a guarantee of skill-ups. Yellow and green recipes may need more crafts. The NPC and recipe catalogue is still growing; not every vendor, recipe or trainer is included. Full live testing across all professions is ongoing.
