Trainers and tips

  • Learn Journeyman, Expert and Artisan from a trainer as soon as you are allowed, before you reach the caps of 75, 150 and 225. Artisan needs character level 35.
  • Stranglekelp grows under water along coasts and lakes, and Ghost Mushroom only in caves and dark places.
  • Black Lotus needs 300 and appears in Burning Steppes, Eastern Plaguelands, Silithus and Winterspring. It is rare and valuable.
