Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).

Our pick for levelling: Tailoring and Enchanting (a fan-site view based on the beta crafted gear below). Level 60 crafting picks: Not yet published, updated at launch.

Crafted gear

Silky and Azure Silk tailoring pieces boost Frost damage and are wearable only by the tailor who made them. Enchanting makes Glimmering Staff and Soulstaff (crafter only).

Camping buffs that fit

Each profession places a camp feature (skill 20 for tier 1). Anyone sitting nearby gets the buff, and all features share a 1-hour cooldown.

Profession Camp buff
Herbalism Incense Candle: Intellect (not with Arcane Intellect)
Alchemy Mana Well: mana regen (not with Blessing of Wisdom)
Tailoring Faction Banner: Spirit (not with Divine Spirit)
Enchanting Enchanted Lute: armour, all stats, resistances (not with Mark of the Wild)
Leatherworking Camp Tent: rested XP up to 5% of a level
