Profession trainers are NPCs who begin or continue your training in a Profession and teach you various recipes for your profession. These recipes are learned at various intervals, but are usually learned every 5 skillups. When using the tracking system with the minimap they will appear with a brown book (File:Trainergossipicon.png) at their locations. See Primary Profession Trainers and Secondary Profession Trainers for lists of profession trainers by type.
