How to read this
Profit on offer per day is a ceiling, not a wage. It is what one crafter would make by supplying every sale of every profitable recipe in the region, which nobody does. Its use is comparison: a profession with ten times the profit on offer has ten times the room for you in it. Click a profession's best house to see every recipe there ranked by profit, with sales next to each.
Three things the ranking cannot see: how hard a recipe is to obtain, cooldowns, and how many other crafters are about to post the same thing. Check a product's page for its price history before crafting a lot of it.
Gathering professions
Herbalism, Mining and Skinning earn by selling what you collect, so their income depends on how fast you farm. The price lists show what the materials are worth: herb prices, ore and bar prices and leather prices. A gathering profession paired with the crafting profession that uses it lets you choose each day between selling raw and crafting.
What is the best profession for gold in WoW Forever right now?
By crafting profit on the EU auction houses today, Alchemy is first and Leatherworking second. Alchemy's best single recipe is Arcanite Bar, at about 42g 51s profit per craft on EU PvP Horde. The ranking changes with prices, so check before you commit.
How is the profession ranking worked out?
For every recipe we take the product's market price, subtract the 5% auction house cut and the cost of the materials at live prices, and multiply the profit by how many the market bought in the last day. Adding that up for each profession gives the profit on offer per day.
Does this include gathering professions like Herbalism and Skinning?
No. Gathering professions sell raw materials, so their income depends on how fast you farm. Use the price lists for herbs, ore and leather to see what those materials sell for.
Why is the most profitable recipe not always the best one to make?
A recipe with a huge margin may sell only a few times a day. The ranking weights profit by sales, and each profession's own page shows sales next to profit so you can pick recipes that actually move.
