The Fire Mage, from level 10 to 60

From level 10 to level 60 you place 51 talent points, one per level. This levelling order gives you something to burn open-world mobs with straight away: the first five points go into Accelerant, then the build takes Precision and maxes Ignite before level 23, when Pyroblast arrives. Critical Mass, Fire Power and Combustion round out the fire side, and the last levels go through the arcane tree.

The camp: the rested XP bonus you should never skip

Always level with a camp. The Basic Campfire Kit only needs Cooking 1, so anyone can set it up: it builds a campfire that cooks food and holds up to 3 camp features around it. A character who sits or crafts near the fire for a minute gets the effects of those features.

For levelling, the one to place is the Camp Tent: it gives characters sitting nearby 5% of a level in rested experience, unless their reserve already exceeds that. It needs a campfire close by, and all camp effects share a one-hour cooldown.

So set up the fire and the tent at the start of every session, again once the hour is up, and think of it before you log out. The tent is crafted with Leatherworking 20: if that is not your profession, ask a leatherworker in your guild for one. The other camp features of each profession are detailed in the camp section of our professions by class article.

Recommended professions for the Mage

Two combos work for levelling this spec: each pairs a crafting profession with the gathering profession that feeds it. Every name opens its full guide.

Pick ONE combo, not two crafting professions. You get two main professions: while levelling, give them to one crafting profession and the gathering profession that feeds it. With two crafting professions you would have to buy every material, and you would struggle to level them.

Combo 1 · our pick

TailoringCrafting · read the guide →

+

HerbalismGathering · read the guide →

Tailoring makes 4 of the 5 crafted pieces in our pre-raid selection, including a robe only the tailor can wear. Cloth drops from the humanoids you kill, so the second slot goes to Herbalism, whose herbs sell to alchemists.

Combo 2

AlchemyCrafting · read the guide →

+

HerbalismGathering · read the guide →

No piece of our selection, but healing and mana potions to chain fights while levelling. Herbalism supplies the herbs for every potion.

On top, at no cost: the secondary professions do not take a main slot. Cooking 1 sets up the camp fire, First Aid makes bandages between fights.

At level 60, Enchanting beats Blacksmithing, which adds just one weapon: worth considering instead of Herbalism once levelling is done.

These picks also aim at level 60 before the raids; the class-by-class detail is in our professions by class article.
