Duo handbook

Making our professions work together

Our pairing is Tailoring and Enchanting for the priest, and Leatherworking and Skinning for the hunter. The aim is to keep useful gear and supplies coming while we quest, without turning every session into a crafting grind.

Use the priest timeline and hunter timeline to find the checks near your current level. This article explains the choices behind them. You do not need to craft every listed item.

Mark a checkpoint Reviewed once you have compared it with your gear or supplies, even if you choose to skip it. That removes it from the quick brief; Hide reviewed also removes it from the timeline. It does not mark the item crafted or the recipe learned. Changed guide details reopen your review, and Undo reverses a recent mark.

What each player brings

Character Main benefits Help for the partner
Priest Cloth gear, bags, wands, personal crafted weapons and enchants Bags and useful equipment enchants
Hunter Leather gear, later mail, ammunition bags and armour kits Leather for recipes and caster armour kits
Both Cooking, First Aid and optional fishing supplies Food, recovery supplies and complementary camp objects

Some crafted gear binds when picked up, so another crafter cannot simply sell you their finished piece. That gives these professions a reason to keep pace. It does not make every personal craft better than a quest or dungeon reward.

Priest: keep weapons and useful cloth in view

A wand is an early priority, especially when you want to save mana between heals. Novice's Practice Wand is one crafting option; buying a suitable wand is fine if your enchanting access is behind. Compare wand damage when considering a replacement.

Tailoring offers both damage and healing choices. Around level 10, compare Novice Arcanist's Sash and Novice Ardent's Sash with your actual belt. The Disc duo build benefits from gear useful for both damage and healing; a healing-focused piece can also be worth keeping for dungeon runs.

Enchanting's personal weapon options continue beyond starter wands. Glimmering Staff and Soulstaff are level-25 comparison candidates. Check their recipe access and compare the entire weapon setup before spending materials.

Pool spare cloth from both players. Disenchant tradable surplus only after weighing its sale value against the materials you need. The hunter's bind-on-pickup crafts cannot be passed over for disenchanting.

Hunter: craft around the weapon and the hunt

Skin the beasts you are already killing. Prioritise worthwhile personal gear and an ammunition bag matching your weapon: Light Leather Quiver for bows/crossbows or Small Leather Ammo Pouch for guns. These are inherited recipe candidates; check current recipe access and compare speed and capacity with what you own.

Trapper's Leather Gloves are an early personal craft to compare around level 15. Stalker's Mail Boots illustrate the later mail route around level 40. Having the recipe in the guide does not guarantee that its pattern is available to you.

Armour kits can help both players: compare Forceful Medium Armor Kit for the hunter and Mystic Medium Armor Kit for the priest. Treat kits and enchants as competing choices for an occupied enhancement slot until stacking is confirmed. They enhance player equipment; they do not directly equip or buff the pet.

A simple crafting routine

  1. Check the timeline near your level before visiting trainers or buying materials.
  2. Compare a proposed craft with your equipped item and nearby quest/dungeon options.
  3. Check the recipe source and full reagent list before committing materials. Some cloth and leather recipes also need potions, dyes or other purchased supplies.
  4. Make supplies for the partner during the same town visit where practical.
  5. Skip small, expensive improvements if a likely replacement is close. The timeline is a reminder to compare, not a compulsory shopping list.

We have no alchemist in this pairing. Buy or trade for mana potions and useful elixirs as needed. Their ordinary benefits do not require you to make them yourself. Alchemy remains an alternative if replenishing consumables becomes more appealing than personal crafts, but unconfirmed endgame perks are not a reason to switch now.

Secondary professions and camp choices

Cooking helps reduce downtime and provides useful food and camp infrastructure. The hunter also needs food compatible with the pet's diet; a player food buff is not a pet buff.

First Aid is useful for the hunter's personal recovery while the priest tends the pet. It also has ordinary healing-potion recipes in this version. The priest can keep a small emergency reserve, while avoiding unnecessary competition with Tailoring for cloth. Herbs still need gathering, buying or trading.

Fishing supports cooking and Fish Bowl camp benefits. Both players can level it, but one can do much of the supply gathering; buying fish is also an option.

Coordinate camp objects instead of doubling up on overlapping benefits. The hunter's chair and the priest's Fish Bowl or Enchanted Lute are useful options to compare. Each player can place one object per shared one-hour camp cooldown. Tailoring's Spirit banner overlaps Divine Spirit, and the First Aid Stamina camp buff overlaps Fortitude. Choose the tent when rested experience is the benefit you actually need.

What to check in game

Recipe availability, trainer requirements and material costs can change the plan. A known item use level is different from the skill needed to learn its recipe. Look at the actual recipe or trainer before taking the timeline's suggested profession pace as an unlock requirement.

The guides have not been tested through in-game crafting or used to measure auction-house profit. Treat the choices above level 30 as launch planning. A new recipe, changed item or unexpectedly expensive craft is a reason to revisit its comparison.
