Best Professions

• Engineering is known as the best PvE and PvP profession in WoW Classic, providing players with the ability to create Bombs, Gadgets, Grenades, and special Gear pieces that severely enhance the performance of any character. Feral Druids can use Engineering to supplement their damage with Goblin Sapper Charge, Dark Iron Bomb, and Thorium Grenade, especially since they are known to have a mid-tier DPS output due to their difficulty. The only downside of Engineering is that the profession is extremely hard to level up and maintain, requiring a large amount of materials that can drain your gold instantly if not paired with Mining.
• Mining is a great profession if you choose to pair it with Engineering, not only for the leveling process but for the creation of any bomb or grenade consumable after reaching 300. Since Engineering is so expensive to use, players will always want to pair it with Mining to be able to get a steady supply of ore and bars for their gadgets and consumables.
• Leatherworking is a great profession that can land you some awesome gear pieces, both throughout your leveling journey and at level 60, with the Devilsaur set being the most well-renowned for Feral Druids. Later on, the profession can be used to craft Fire Resistance Gear and some interesting Epic Items, although most can be bought since they are BoE. Similar to other crafting professions, Leatherworking can become expensive to level up or create high-end items without pairing it with Skinning.
• Skinning is a useful profession for any Feral Druid who picks up Leatherworking and wishes to gain the Devilsaur set. The profession allows players to skin beasts and gather their hides, creating Leather pieces in the process. The profession is amazing for gaining the set early without having to spend a large amount of gold on it. In addition, it can be used to generate a considerable amount of gold.

Useful Professions

• Alchemy is one of the best professions for gold generation and overall resources during any PvE encounter. When paired with Herbalism, having Alchemy will make sure that you won’t lack any elixir, potion, or flask that you may require during combat. The only issue with it is that it doesn’t provide a direct boost to Feral Druids that wouldn’t be simply bought from another player or the Auction Hosue.
• Herbalism is an extremely good gold generation tool for any player as it allows them to gather herbs from across the world which can be sold or used with Alchemy. Druids have an extended bonus when using this profession as they can gather herbs without needing to shapeshift, meaning they can use Travel Form to gather plants quickly without much competition.

Sub-Par Professions

• Blacksmithing is a sub-optimal profession for Feral Druids, providing only a few items of real value. The only valuable items are the keys that can unlock lockboxes, rods for enchanters to use, and Iron Counterweight. Since Druids can’t use any Mail or Plate items, the profession is useless to them besides keys and the Iron Counterweight which would have to be mass-produced for the Crowd Pummelers.
• Enchanting is sub-optimal for any Feral Druids besides its role in gold generation through Disenchanting and providing services. Since players can buy the enchants from someone else, the profession doesn’t grant any specific PvE use besides gold generation.
• Tailoring is sadly worthless for Feral Druids since none of the craftable items grant Strength or Agility, the profession mainly being a BiS for Caster specializations. Nonetheless, the BoE items that can be crafted with it, along with the bags, can provide a steady supply of gold in case you don’t care about optimizing Damage Output.
