"If you boost a level-60 or higher character, you’ll also get an extra 
bonus: both of your Primary Professions will be bumped up to 600, so 
you’ll be an instant pro at your chosen callings. If you’re boosting an 
existing character and want to change professions, just make sure you 
train the professions you want before you apply the boost. Also, if 
you’re not quite level 60 yet (but thiiiiiiis close), you might want to 
consider holding on to your boost token until you earn those last couple 
of levels—your boost will still be waiting for you when you’re ready."

I read that all you need is prof level 1 on a 60 in whatever you want 
and they will be maxed by the levelup.

Level to 60 is easy with xp boosts, even just the guild gear.
What character and profs to level? up to you.
A proper healer with tailor and inscription?
A druid is good for mats gathering, but seems a waste to blow profession 
levels on that.

If you have a blingtron and regularly logon treat it like a daily. 
Feeding the prof powerups to alts chips away at the upper level profs 
anyway so profs are easier to level.


You could get another warlock or hunter just as a profession 
holder/banker, just to get the profs and not do much else with.
Just because they are just so easy to level for later expansions.
I have a few tanks, and hate tanking in wow, not the tanking just the 
way people interact with tanks.I rejigged the bankers as warlocks just 
so they all play the same way and can hold professions.  There isn't 
much point in having a melee dps , or one without a personal tank unless 
it is meant for raids.
I would get rid of the warrior except it has sentimental value.


You could just blow the levelup to reconfigure profs on a main-main.
I -think- that should work but haven't seen if it does.

You could start on another server, pvp or pve, and have a max character.

I expect there will be other 'free' boosts sometime now that they are in 
play and you could always just buy a boost to reconfigure.
Since they are in the shop now the pre-order purchase boost isn't a 
premium treasure you can't get any other way, just a bonus.
