New Professions Questlines – Tools of the Trade
All 8 of the crafting secondary professions now have new questlines to acquire a tool of the trade that is unique for that profession. Note: Your test character will have to be at max level in the Kul Tiras or Zandalari segment of the profession to get started. Each questline begins at the profession’s main trainer in Boralus or Dazar’alor.
