Crafting professions are not really much use to you as you level, because you should be out-levelling the use of enchants/leather kits etc...

What i do with all my characters, and this will help you if you ever choose to level another character is the following:

Pick 2 gathering professions:

Mining

Skinning

Herbalistm

Enchanting - would not suggest for first character

Always take skinning and one of the others because you don;t need to track skinning.

Keep the mats from the professions as far as possible or sell them for money on the auction house.

Once you reach max level, you can just power level a professions with the mats you have, eg:

If you had mining and skinning your options would be as follows:

Leather Working - use all skinning mats

Blacksmithing - use all mining mats

JewelCrafting - use all mining mats

Enchanting - this you will level with the mats you get by disenchating the green items you get.

Always keep one gathering professions, preferrable the one which complements your choice of crafting profession.

Keep the other professions' mats to allow your next character to power level a profession of choice, so when you take your next character choose again two gathering professions, and use mats for your next levelled character.

Once you do not need the mats anymore, each new character can just take skinning and mining as money making professions.

This gives you money, mats and easy to level professions.|||Quote:

My advice on it (and I know some others don't agree with this) is that until level 40 or so, take up two gathering professions: skinning, mining, or herbalism. Those will get you items that sell readily on the AH and bring in the gold you need for things along the way (a mount, training, all that sort of thing). Then, at about 40, drop one of your gathering ones and take up a crafting profession that will make use of what you can now gather. Why? Well, by that level you will be working in areas where better gathers are available. That allows you to level up your crafting profession more quickly. Shortly you ought to be able to craft items that will sell for a modest amount on the AH.

Do have a look at the secondary professions: fishing, cooking, and first aid. You can sell fish or cooked items. They also provide your character with food to regain health and mana. First aid is invaluable and will save you a lot of money spent on potions and help you to heal yourself in questing. You're going to get a lot of cloth drops as you go along. Use them to level up first aid.|||Froggelets advice is the best advice for a new player. It strikes a great balance between getting enough gold, not having to worry about crafting early on and still teaching you a crafting skill before you get to higher levels.|||Quote:

I used to believe in gather/craft from the beginning. Then I levelled my level 78 Gnome Death Knight up to 465 in Engineering in about a month. I didn't have to work hard to do it either. I would say 90% of what he made came from his 450 in Mining. What he needed to buy was paid for by sale of his mined minerals. I also sold some of those minerals to buy schematics for a few things.

It went so fast and so easily that I would never again have a low level crafter. You don't have to wait until level 78, though. Just wait long enough to be able to gather good materials that you can either use to level your crafting profession or sell to finance its costs.|||As a master profession guru enthusiest - main reason I play the game... I'd say Mining and Blacksmithing.

1. Belt socket sells well in the AH and everyone needs them.

2. TBC minerals sell really well as well Azeroth minerals. Sell them always as Ores so that the JC'ers can buy them too.

3. You will be able to put two extra sockets on your equipment as a BS.

4. Pretty good Purple ilvl200 items you can craft - sells wells easy mats, especially with the up and coming patch making the Titansteelbars without a CD.

And there's more obviously. All depends on how you work your toon.

GL, have fun!|||Quote:

money is a non-issue these days, even for new players. with rider training now only costing 2g you can easily have 200g+ by the time you reach level 30. I made 263g just from running instances and selling cloth by the time I reached level 25.|||Quote:

It's not if you have 9 lvl 80 alliance toons all going for 5K+GS. Plus I help the guildies out as much as I can.

Regemming each piece of gear as well enchanting is not cheap.

i.e. Headpiece upgrade

1. headpiece enchant from Hodir 120g

2. Usually 2-3 sockets @ ~200g per gem

Then there's everything else :P

I spend around 1000g per toon/week on tweaking and getting fine tuned.|||Not being an experienced player myself, I've kept two of the gathering profs Skinning and Herbalism on my main lvl 52 warlock character but have started two other Alts to level up in the crafting professions; Enchanting and Tailoring and the other Alchemy and Leatherworking.

This may not be the best solution as you have to level them up to progress, but it helps with the bank space. I may change herbalism to mining once my alt reaches a certain level in Alchemy.

I still find it hard to make lots of cash... perhaps looking at the price of low level mats on the AH I shouldn't have used them all to level up Firstaid :(
