I’m debating dropping my gathering on my druid, been leveling up that alt by farming. He’s already got many great perks and I’ve been having a blast. But i want to swap to skinning and LW to craft for that sweet sweet xp and basic gear. If i swap back to mining/herbs do i start over? i know the level will as it always has but do i lose my skill points or any recipies (not that i have any for gathering)
You basically start over. In cases where you learned abilities through quests (Legion comes to mind here) you can re-purchase those abilities, and I think you retain any 2-star or 3-star upgrades you earned. But otherwise you have to re-learn everything.
I don’t know what happens to DF skill points, though, I haven’t heard anything on that one way or the other.
I’ll have to test it on an alt with a profession i dont care about…i cant find any info on it at all.
Edit/update:
For future info seekers, i can confirm that you do retain the skills where you had them, even unspent ones. I tested this on several characters and professions. Levled up my druid with crafting and then back to gathering where i kept all my perks.
Also keep your profession gear, just gets unequipped… that ones a bit more obvious but figured I’d mention it.
