It would be extremely nice if we had a way to transfer professions to other characters, particularly their known recipes, if not their skill levels.
This is something that’s been floating in my mind for a very long time now, but hopping around all my alts figuring out which ones have the requisite skill levels to pick up all the new decor patterns for each expansion has brought it back to the forefront. Over the many years I’ve been playing this game, I’ve picked up repeat professions across multiple characters of different factions and servers who I’ve played to differing degrees of progress in different expansions, and/or during periods of the game where different things made sense that they no longer do.
Lokka here, for example, is a Tailor/Enchanter, and has been ever since I chose those professions for her in Burning Crusade. As an Enhancement shaman, Tailoring never made the most sense for her, but I took it because at the time it was practically Enchanting’s gathering profession, and the only way you were going to get a steady source of basic disenchanting fodder without emptying your pockets on the auction house.
This hasn’t been the case for ages now, and I really don’t have a strong reason to keep Tailoring on her… except that over the years before that, I learned a crapton of recipes on her that would be a pain to have to go hunt down again on another character, or may even be unobtainable due to removal of their sources since then.
It would be great to be able to transfer her Tailoring to another character in my warband, freeing her up to choose a more appropriate profession without losing access to everything I previously put the time and effort into acquiring on her. Being able to transfer it in its entirely, skill levels and all, would be fantastic, but even just the ability to transfer her known recipes list – or make all learned profession recipes warband-wide – would cover my biggest concern.
