World of Warcraft Professions?

Question

Hey everybody!

I just had some general questions about professions.

1. What does it mean to have Increased *profession*? I just do not understand what it means.

-Example: Gnomes- Engineering... Dreanei- Jewlcrafting... Blood Elves- Enchanting.

2. Can Professions go above 375 under any circumstances?

Answer 1

1. It means you start out with bonus skill points in it for being said race.

2. Yes, in WotLK, the maximum profession level is being increased to 450 I believe. However, if you're talking about the live realms, the only way to go above 375 is to have a profession as a racial bonus. (I.e. My Tauren is a herbalist at max level and Taurens get a bonus to herbalism, so currently my herbalism level is 390. It's a bit useless once you get to max level...) Also you can enchant some pieces of gear to give bonuses to professions as well.
