Per the table in the source, Alchemy gives mana per 5 against Wisdom, Blacksmithing Strength against Strength of Earth, Cooking Stamina against food, Enchanting armor and stats and resist against Mark of the Wild, First Aid Stamina against Fortitude, Leatherworking 5 percent rested XP, Tailoring Spirit against Divine Spirit, Mining melee AP against Might, Herbalism Intellect against Arcane Intellect, Skinning crit against Moonkin Aura, Fishing 8 percent stats against Kings, and Engineering covers reagents and repair.
Per the source, buffs scale with player level so campsites stay relevant in any zone. Level gatherers early for permanent party value.
