Greetings, it seem as the demand for such a guide has been quite high lately and i have therefore decided to open a thread, nonetheless i do not have the knowledge to put up a list for every single spec, which is why at the bottom of my thread i will be adding a list of those who will contribute to this " guide ".
As it will be a guide done by twinks, for twinks. A way to encourage new players on joining the bracket and experiencing our life style.
You are welcome to partecipate in building the list and adding comments, suggestions, specific class details such as breakpoints, spreadsheet and so on ( Yes Chris i'm talking about you )
Be sure that the reforging and gemming is the best avaible when proposing a chardev / armory.
Let's start right away.
-----------------------------------------
Professions
Jewelcrafting : with this profession you will gain access to 2 mists of pandaria gems ( improved gems, list is here ) and 3 cataclysm improved gems ( click here for a list ). Please note that to learn all of the recipes you will have to visit the profession trainer in mists of pandaria, her name is Mai the Jade Shaper and you will find her in the Jade Forrest.
Leatherworking : with this profession you will gain a bracer enchant that adds 500 points to one of the following stats : Agility, Stamina, Intellect, Streght, this will prevent from using a non leatherworking enchant ( you cant have a normal enchant in addition to the profession one )
Mining : with this profession you will gain 480 stamina, which should result into 7560 hp for tanks and 6720 for everyone else.
Skinning : with this profession you will gain 480 crit strike as passive buff.
Tailoring : with this profession you gain access to 3 cloak enchants which give you either a chance to increase your Spirit - by 3000 for 15 sec when you cast a spell, a chance to increase your Intellect by 2000 for 15 sec when casting a spell. While melee will have a chance for damaging melee and ranged attacks to sometimes increase your attack power by 4000 for 15 sec.
Alchemy : with this profession you gain two major benefits, one being a trinket ( who is on most chardevs as it's considered best in slot, click ) and a flask who grants 80 points to : intellect, agility or Streght. If you use the flask in a battleground it will instead grant 320 points ( quick tip for arenas etc. Enter a bg, use it, get out and enjoy two hours of 320 )
Blacksmithing : With this profession you gain the access to add a socket to your bracers and gloves, which means that you can add a mists of pandaria gem in those sockets, great combination with jewelcrafting.
Enchanting : with this profession you gain the access to several ring enchants, they will add 160 points to either streght, agility, intellect or stamina. You can of course enchant both rings.
Engineering : this is mostly a " fun " profession and the benefits are lower than the previous professions, nonetheless you do get to acess Jeeves and Blingtron 4000. As well as Wormhole Generator: Pandaria ( this will teleport you randomly in mists of pandaria ). While the following enchants will be as well avaible.
Hand enchants.
Belt Enchant
Cloak Enchant ( this is one of the best items i think blizzard has ever done and personally i love it, but it has no real big use )
Herbalism : with this profession you gain Lifeblood, which grants 2880 haste for 20 sec. Can be used while stealthed or invisible.
Inscription : with this one you get 4 special shoulder enchants, here is a list of them :
That is it for the professions benefits.
-----------------------------------------
Now something i would like to add is that some professions to actually make gold or profit or even for personal use do require some recipes, most are avaible from the trainer while some are from reputations.
There are 4 reputation that can be farmed thru reputation tokens and all have some some very interesting enchants or recipes. The tokens are dropped from Zandalari Warbringer. There are 4 of them in 4 specific zones: Dread Wastes, Kun-Lai Summit, The Jade Forest and Townlong Steppes. The best way to kill farm them is to have a friend on a very low population realm real ID invite you so that you cross zone into his realm.
They have as well a chance of dropping one of the 3 Direhorn mounts.
The Zandalari are not soloable and since you can not fly in mists of pandaria you will prolly want a friend with a two seat mount to carry you around.
Now the reputation tokens are the following four
As you can see we have four different mists of pandaria factions, the good part is that once you reach revered you can get 4 items from the quartermaster
Once you get to revered, getting to exalted takes nearly no time. Revered is also the reputation needed for the enchants and recipes, while for the tabards you do need exalted.
Sadly most of the mounts require lvl 90 to be learned, the only one that can be gained is the Reins of the Amber Scorpion from the Klaxxi.
Now getting back to the recipes here is what you can get for Enchanting from both the August Celestials and the Shado-Pan
While for Leatherworking we have the Golden Lotus
And than we have Tailoring with both the Golden Lotus and The August Celestials
And to end with we have Blacksmith with The Klaxxi
That should cover the reputation, recipe and mount part.

Best in slot gear for both

Paladin

Rogue
Shaman
Warlock

-----------------------------------------
It's extremely late tonight so ill leave it here to finish tomorrow, been already 5 hours and i'm really tired. Nonetheless if you want to start sharing oppinions, pointing out stuff or providing best in slot chardevs that would be great, just make sure it's bis, reforging as well. I will be adding out reforging, stat priorities and breakpoints later today / tomorrow.
Kind Regards,
