Players that choose the Enchanting profession can give armor and weapons stat boosts. Enchanting gear is essential to high-level players, making players in the Enchanting profession valuable and necessary. Pairing Enchanting with other professions like Tailoring or Blacksmithing will allow players to also craft their own equipment to enchant, cutting out the need to purchase these things from other players.

Professions that allow players to craft armor are very important and lucrative. Pairing Blacksmithing with other professions like Mining or Skinning will allow players to be self-sufficient when crafting. Players can eventually craft legendary pieces which sell for very high prices in the auction, though these are also expensive to craft.

Alchemy

Alchemy allows practices to create things like potions, oils, elixirs, and other items that give the users varying special effects. The Alchemy profession also works well with other professions as it allows players to transmute minerals and gems that can be further crafted by other professions. Herbalism pairs especially well with Alchemy because it allows the gathering of materials to be used in Alchemy which removes the step of buying ingredients and materials. Alchemy is vital to World of Warcraft, and practices can make a reliably large amount of money.
