How to Fulfill a Personal Crafting Order in WoW Retail

To fulfill a personal crafting order in World of Warcraft Retail, open Crafting Orders from the correct profession station, find the order under Personal, and review it before you start. Confirm that your recipe, reagents, and skill can meet the requested quality. Then craft through the order interface and complete the order so the item goes to the customer.

Find the order and verify the recipe

1. Open the relevant profession at a crafting station and select its Crafting Orders tab.
2. Switch to Personal and find the order by the customer's name or item. Check that the recipe matches what you agreed to make.
3. Review the requested quality, supplied materials, optional reagents, and commission.
4. Check your crafting preview. If you can fulfill the terms, start the order. Use the order's craft action, then complete the order through the same interface.

A recipe in your Spellbook and a customer's order are two different entries. If you craft from your ordinary recipe list, you may use your own materials and end up with an item outside the order. Check that the order itself is open before you start the craft.

If there are several orders for the same item, verify the name before claiming one. Two customers may ask for different optional reagents or qualities. Starting the wrong entry can hold it while you sort out the mistake. Use the order list to confirm the exact item and sender.

Check who is supplying each material

The order shows which reagents the customer attached. A personal order can leave eligible materials for the crafter to supply. Compare the missing list with what you agreed to provide before starting. A commission can look reasonable until you notice that it includes a costly ingredient you were expecting the customer to send.

Check optional reagents separately. If the customer wants a certain effect or set of stats, verify it in the preview. Ask if the attached reagent differs from what you discussed. A clear answer before you craft can save both of you a new order or recraft.

For example, if a customer attached most of the ingredients but left out one expensive material, tell them what is missing and confirm who will cover it. If the order needs to change, agree on the replacement before continuing. Keep the discussion tied to the specific order so a similar recipe doesn't get mixed into the conversation.

Confirm quality before using your resources

Read the minimum quality on the order and check what the profession interface says you can reach with the current materials. If the preview falls short, look at your gear, recipe skill, and reagent quality. Use Concentration only if the interface offers it and you intend to spend it on this order. Confirm the revised preview before committing.

Decide whether the commission covers the resources you're supplying. If you quoted a price for one set of materials and the customer sent another, check the impact on the result. Raise the issue before starting the craft. The goal is to deliver what the order requests without surprising the customer or spending resources you had set aside for another job.

Complete delivery and confirm the result

After crafting through the order interface, use its completion action. Check that the job moved out of your active orders. If you agreed to notify the customer, tell them to check for the finished item and confirm the requested effect or quality when it arrives.

If you can't see the order, verify that you are on the intended character and profession. Ask the customer to check the recipient name and order status. If you see the order but can't start it, read the stated requirement and confirm that you know the exact recipe. A recipe for a similar item in the same slot won't fulfill the one requested.

If the craft or completion button is unavailable, check the active order, missing materials, quality requirement, and location before creating anything outside the order. Read the game message for the specific reason. Once the issue is resolved, review the order from the beginning and finish it only when the output still matches the customer's request.

For a repeat customer, verify each order separately. A previous craft for the same character can have different optional reagents, and the preview for the new order is the one that matters.
