WoW Wrath of the Lich King Classic: This is how you prepare yourself optimally

Since the livestream event on April 19, 2022, it has been clear that WoW: Wrath of the Lich King content will end up on the progressive Classic servers later this year. Also included: the continent of Northrend, death knights, inscriptions, achievements and all kinds of dungeon and raid challenges and much more. As soon as the launch is due, the players in Northrend in particular, who are already optimally preparing for the upcoming WotLK adventure, will get off to a flying start. In this guide we will tell you what is involved in such a preparation.

Get exclusive titles from TBC Classic
Once WotLK Classic is released, you will no longer be able to earn the following exclusive TBC titles:

Hand of A'dal: Reward for completing the Attunement quests for the Tier 6 Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal raid instances.
Champion of the Naaru: Reward for the quest The Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon
If you can earn these titles in time, you will receive the associated heroic deeds achievements for them when WotLK Classic starts (tip: if you still have the original quests in the quest log when WotLK Classic was launched, you should still be able to earn the titles. At least it was This is possible in retail WoW. However, you cannot accept the quests again, since Blizzard will replace them with new variants that will not reward you with the respective title).

Get the Amani War Bear from TBC Classic
Since the opening of Zul'Aman in Content Stage 4 of TBC Classic, you can earn the unique Amani War Bear via the Time Trial. And that's exactly what you should have done before the launch of WotLK Classic, because after that the exclusive reward will disappear from the World of Warcraft.

As important as professions were in WoW Classic and TBC Classic, in WotLK Classic it is even more important that you equip your main character with two suitable jobs. The manufacturing professions in particular provide you with exclusive advantages that you definitely don't want to do without. Here is a small overview of the best profession bonuses:

Tailoring: Exclusive enchantments on cloaks
Engineering: Very strong exclusive speed effect (hyper speed accelerator)
Jewelcrafting: Access to jewels (three can be used at the same time) that promise a significantly higher value increase
Blacksmithing: Exclusive base sockets for gloves and bracers, in which you can of course put jewels
Alchemy: Increased effects from elixirs and flasks (mixology)
Enchanting: New exclusive ring enchantments
Inscription: Special exclusive shoulder enchantments
Leatherworking: Special exclusive bracer enchantment
The bottom line is that most of these special bonuses are the same in a direct comparison, so that (if you are only interested in these bonuses) it almost doesn't matter which profession combination you choose (depending on the class and role, there are certainly more in detail note, but we will make an extra guide for that). It is much more important that you really pick two professions from this list and do not supply your raid main with any collective professions whose bonuses are significantly weaker.
