Hey folks!

As Dalbozz has stated, these quests currently only increase the base or "Vanilla" level of a profession, up to a skill of 300. For more information please see the relevant support article that we created for this question.

Common Problems

I completed the Darkmoon Faire Skinning quest and I was not given the +5 skill mentioned in the reward.
Only got skill up to 300 from Darkmoon Faire.

Comment by KookiebiskitSeems stupid but okComment by NulgarBlizzard has noted they are looking into further changes for these quests in a future patch.
Comment by ForlornWolfWell, that sucks. I pumped out my BS skill so I could do the +5 points before the event ended.

I presumed it would work for the current expansion and then work its way back, or at least go from vanilla to current skill wise. That explains why I was not getting a cooking skill for doing the daily in the city hub.Comment by RavenswingsThis is complete garbage. Over a decade this has worked perfectly fine and now they break it, because they messed with the professions skill ups.Comment by SkellorBlizzard has noted they are looking into further changes for these quests in a future patch.Comment by kutkuSince a level 20 can do these quests, it makes LESS sense for the quest to give BFA levels instead of vanilla ones.Comment by UkerricWell, it works perfectly.

For Archeology.

Which is the profession that wasn't changed in the ill-considered revamp that made a mess.

Note: Blizzard, please do NOT touch Archeology. I know it escaped the revamp because no one works on archeology at Blizz HQ... leave it as is.Comment by TobiasAmaranthRIP Injured Carnival Workers, we hardly knew ye. (From the removal of First Aid, they are now useless NPCs, lol)Comment by Risingdoom2657This is complete garbage. Over a decade this has worked perfectly fine and now they break it, because they messed with the professions skill ups.Comment by TofkeIsn't it lovely that lately they are mostly busy with taking away things from us.Comment by CoffinboffinWhat would make sense (had a conversation with a GM when I opened a ticket about this very issue last month and we came to this conclusion between us) is for the skill points to go into the expac prof appropriate for your char level. When that's maxed out, dump the points in the next one down and so on and so forth. I mean, it's not rocket science is it? ;)Comment by TOMRUSThey should give skillups to latest expansion profession instead. Because who cares about Classic at this point?Comment by kalfeerThis is complete garbage.

I mean, it's not rocket science is it? ;)There goes my reason to go to the DMF, next to the carroussel ofcourse..Comment by IceveiledPretty lame, grinding out crafting professions in legion and BFA is brutally expensive. One idea would be for the DMF profession quests to reward crafting mats appropriate for the quest / profession.

Also with the recent changes to professions it makes zero sense for the DMF quests to only reward skillups for vanilla professions. Nobody EVER is going to bother levelling up professions from the ground floor now, unless they are insane completionists who want every recipe / schematic, etc just for the sake of having it.Comment by kr1971This is complete garbage. Over a decade this has worked perfectly fine and now they break it, because they messed with the professions skill ups.Comment by NihilatosI'm with you on that, they did in WoD and some of us (myself included) got their relic book wiped clean. So for trying to aim for the tol'vir mount and two handed troll sword, I've had to start all over again and tbh, can''t be buggered :/Comment by Power200Pure BS just another bug turned "Feature"
