Journeyman

Apprentice (1-75) ⇒ Journeyman (76-150) ⇒ Expert (151-225)

Journeyman is the second stage of a profession learned at the appropriate profession trainer (Journeyman or better).

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

• At 50 skill points (not counting racial or other bonuses) you can learn the Journeyman stage and gain up to 150 points before you must learn Expert to advance.
• You must be level 10 to become a Journeyman in crafting and gathering professions.
• You can learn the Expert stage at 125 points before you reach 150 points.
• Starting with Battle for Azeroth pre-patch, this proficiency range will be the 2nd 75 points range of a 300 point progress bar.
