I’m farming to buy some WoW Tokens and the farm I’m doing recommends I have three-star skinning… how do I star? Why are there multiple levels for things… why are BfA profs weird?
Quest for #2 and #3.
BfA gathering professions are tied to your levels. Just raise your skinning and when you get high enough your trainer in Boralus will give you a few quests to upgrade the ranks. Higher star ranks just gives you more materials when you loot things.
The system that was attempted here is to make “Earning” them easier, quicker, and plentiful. Its like starting a new job that you have NO experience in. So in time, you learn how to do it better. You won’t need to worry about this going into Shadowlands as the quantity amount increases as your skill is increased (As far as gathering professions goes). So, for the sake of BFA specifically, you will need to do certain profession quests to unlock and improve the efficiency of said profession. The stars in the profession windows can be hovered over and see where and how to get them.
Boy, do I have a story to tell you about Legion Jewelcrafting. 
I see thank you… that makes more sense… doesn’t make it any less jarring though lol.
You as well.
Almost scared to ask.

I’ll just go on record and say that nodes paying out higher based on your skill is superior to the “ranks” they used prior. Those almost always felt inorganic and forced, where getting more ore because you’ve leveled your profession just makes all the sense it needs to.
