Artisan

Expert (151-225) ⇒ Artisan (226-300) ⇒ Master (1-75 [301-375])

Artisan is the fourth stage of a profession learned at the appropriate profession trainer (see below).

Profession skill levels fall into eleven stages of increasing ability to learn and execute recipes: Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, Artisan, Master ( ), Grand Master ( ), Illustrious ( ), Zen Master ( ), Draenor Master ( ), Legion Master ( ), and Kul Tiran / Zandalari Master ( ).

Change in Battle for Azeroth

The progression bars (except for  Archaeology) have changed so that after the base game each expansion has a separate progression bar for points unlike before which had a single bar:

• Non-expansion goes up to 300.
  • Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Artisan are all included in this bar.
• Outland, Northrend, Cataclysm, and Pandaria progression bars each go up to 75.
  • So each range for Master, Grand Master, Illustrious, and Zen Master have their own bar.
• Draenor and Broken Isles go up to 100.
  • So each range for Draenor Master and Legion Master have their own bar.
• Kul Tiras and Zandalar go up to 150.
  • So the range for Kul Tiran / Zandalari Master have their own bar.

In the Beta, Secondary Professions still had the old full bar, but only Archaeology remained the same as of pre-expansion patch and expansion release.

Notes

• Not counting racial or other bonuses, at a skill level of 200 you can learn the Artisan stage and gain up to a maximum of 300 points.
• You must be level 35 to become an Artisan in most professions (gathering professions require level 25 and fishing requires level 10).
• The trainer who can train Artisan stage for each profession can usually be found in any racial capital city, just ask a guard.
• With only the initial World of Warcraft install, no skill or profession can go above 300 points (not including racial or other bonuses). Changed with Battle for Azeroth.^{[citation needed]}
• Starting with Battle for Azeroth pre-patch, this proficiency range will be the end 75 points range of a 300 point progress bar.
