If you have a lot of alts like I do (and you’re as old as I am - almost 70), you can’t remember which alts have or haven’t done the profession quests. Not that they are once again awarding 5 skill points there’s a good reason to go to the Faire. I’ve been looking for some kind of simple macro or addon for this and finding none I decided to give it a go. So here’s a simple macro to run on your toons which will tell you which profession quests you have completed. Since not everyone will have the “Macro Toolkit” or something similar that allows extended macros, I decided to try and get the code below 255 characters, which isn’t much. Fortunately, the quests are numbered sequentially 29506 (Alchemy) to 29520 (Tailoring) making easy use of a table of short names and a do loop. The First Aid quest has been removed (29512) but was left in for simplicity. There is no message if no quests have been done - there are less than 30 characters to spare. It’s probably possible. Here’s the code…
/run PT = {“Alch”, “Arch”, “BS”, “Cook”, “Ench”, “Engr”, “FA”, “Fish”, “Herb”, “Insc”, “JC”, “LW”, “Mine”, “Skin”, “Tail”}
/run local id for id=29506,29520,1 do if (IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(id)) then print(PT[id-29505]) end end
Enjoy

Updated this to work in Dragonflight

Holy necro batman!
DMFQuest is an addon I use.
Go to the vendor a little before the DMF portal and it already grabs the stuff you need for those professions.

Personally, I just arrange my characters in such a way that those who have production profs are listed first, and pure gatherers are underneath, and when DMF comes up, I’ll just do each character one-at-a-time so I don’t have to remember which are done or which aren’t.
I just keep a mental note of “Bob was the last character I did so Jill is next”.

Unless you’re Horde, then fly (or take the lift) up Thunder Bluff! …or buy it all in Orgrimmar before you use the portals/mage.

Materials?
Alliance: land at the traveller’s cart next to goldshire inn. That guy sells everything except for the drink needed for the alchemy quest (those are found in one of the inns inside of SWC)
Horde: Take the teleport to Thunder Bluff. On your way down to the DMF portal, land near the black-furred Tauren who’s standing in front of a hut near the fishing pond in the first area of TB. She sells everything except the alchemy quest juice, and those can be found in the inn right next to her.
IMO now that stuff stacks more than 20, I’d just buy a couple hundred and you’d have enough materials to last you years of DMF runs and would only take 1-2 slots of inventory to carry them.
