I believe some of the rare profession patterns that are bind on pickup only drop if someone in that party is of that profession. My question therefore is do you have to be the level required to learn the profession for it to drop/be able to pickup, or can you be a lower level?
Reason I’m asking is that I’m a non-tailor priest ready for SSC/TK and thinking about switching to tailoring to craft/pickup the belt and boots patterns in those raids. However, I don’t think I’ll have time to max level tailoring before I start the raids, so I was hoping to just pick up tailoring before I start raiding in case one of those patterns drops and if it does, I can just level tailoring after I already have the pattern. However, if I can’t get them if I’m not max level, I might rethink dropping one of my current professions
