While each Profession received its tweaks and adjustments in The War Within, most of the changes that were present in Dragonflight have been carried over to The War Within's Profession system as well. We've prepared guides to help explain these systems including profession-specific stats, NPC Crafting Orders, Knowledge Points, Recrafting, and more.

The main allure of Crafting Orders is allowing someone besides the Crafter to use a Bind on Pickup item — including armor, weapons, consumables, and more. In addition, NPC Crafting Orders, also known as Patron Work Orders, are a guaranteed way for crafters to fulfill Work Orders — and are now the primary method to obtain Knowledge Points in The War Within.
