My Professions Aren't Working

#0 - Oct. 18, 2010, 9:09 a.m.

Hey,

I'm having some trouble with my professions: mining and blacksmithing.
I just decided to learn my professions (because death knights start at 55).

I leveled the professions a bit earlier today but I've just gotten on again and they've stopped working. I've tried to mine from a copper vein but it says "requires mining 1" which I have. However, I am still able to smelt ore into metal bars.
I have also completely lost the Blacksmithing ability. It is still listed has a profession but I can't use it.

Any help's appreciated.
Thanks

If you just learned mining, you might try abandoning it - and learning it from a trainer on the opposite continent. We've had some reports that is helping make it 'stick', but this is a known issue.

Crafting windows should be able to be accessed via /cast blacksmithing in this case typed on the command line.

You might also want to try a full reset UI, that's helping with many issues.

To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.

Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.

Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.

More detailed instructions for different operating systems, including Macs are here.
