Can’t find a shred of info on this since so many profession guides are regurgitating each other’s contents, and they don’t even acknowledge that this was a thing.
Starting in 5.3 you could gather MoP mats at any skill level. The 1/10th of a unit wasn’t worth anything but at least it allowed the skillups to be done in current content right from 0. But I can’t tell if that’s going to be live on Monday, delayed to a future patch, or not happening at all. PTR is broken and won’t transport to the continent so that doesn’t reveal anything either.

I’d assume it’ll be there.
It’ll be live. I saw a few nodes near Monk’s Peak of Serenity (out of reach though and can’t mine) and when hovering over them, they had an orange requirement, even though I’m not max mining.

Great info, thanks. That’s miles better than the minimal amount of vague speculating a few other posts have had.
MoP also massively nerfed blacksmith leveling near the end, no telling if that’s happening again but I’m sure glad I sold off all my bars.
As far as I’m aware the ‘Training Plans’ are on the beta, so BS will in fact also be short-circuited. Old bars should still retain some value, but certainly not enough to stockpile.
