enchanting vs herbalism

ok, so im trying to decide between staying with enchanting or picking up herbalism...the prices of outland herbs on my server are this:

Felweed: 18-20g a stack

Terocone/ancient Lichen/dreaming glory 60-80g

Ragveil: 50-60g

however seem to have a hard time to sell them

high end (Pre-BC) Enchanting Mats:

Illusion Dust 75-85g a stack

Greater Eternal Essence: 16-23g ea

Lesser Etternal Essence :10g ea (i know your thinking wtf, so am i )

Dream Dust :16-22g a stack

Large/Small Brilaint Shards Large: 13-16g ea, Small 5-8g ea

and i find they ussually sell over nite

so could i get some info or comments please?

Thanks|||are you willing to spend a day running around azeroth picking herbs to level up herbalism?

and also, you're making money by selling dust and stuff, but remember that drops are by chance, and even if you DE the stuff you make from a different profession, you're still losing money on the reagent materials. herbalism is more stable in the end, as all you do is fly around looking for nodes. but really, there is no better thing to do. it just depends on the player. if you get a kick out of farming, then sure, pick herbalism. i always have the dilema of picking up an item and wondering if i should sell it as is or disenchanting it. that dilema right there almost made me choose something else. lol. but nowadays i just DE everything unless its really really good for a broad range of players, and not really for just a certain spec in a lowly populated class.|||i have a char as herb and 1 as enchanter. i find that i make lots more money from herbing than enchanting. and the sad part is i almost give arcane dust away, ive got 2 stacks sitting on my bank char and sell maybe 5 bits a day. but as you pointed out if you are carefull and buy the right greens at a good price then high end azeroth mats will wipe the floor in the ah for profit return.

i tend to look at enchanting as a support prof and herbing as a cash pool prof|||Enchanting will be able to sell on Auction House in the next expansion so I assume many ppl are leveling it. I would keep enchanting and level another character to pick up herbalism. By the way, herbs are required for the new profession: Inscription.|||Quote:

If this is the case then you need to be a smarter (dis)enchanter :)|||Quote:

which i've yet to become. any tips? lol|||when i was young i think enchanting will be very useful for rouge,but now my weapon never enjoy it.that's in TBC.may be WLK will be better for enchanting.NOW i recommend herbalism.|||I have a bank alt which I levelled to 35 for the pure reason of enabling her to level enchanting to 300 - that allows her to DE every item that I may want her to. Any BoE item I find that isn't useful to my 70 main will be mailed to her, and (depending on what Auctioneer has to say about its value) she'll put it on the AH some 2-3 times max. If it hasn't sold by then, she just DEs it. The great benefit of this is that I'll never have to vendor anything, seeing as how the enchanting materials will always sell.

If you want to switch to herbalism, then like someone said you'll need to be willing to go out there and farm it. Random greens to DE can be found anywhere, but herbs need to be picked.

Also, enchanting gives you the benefit of an exclusive ring enchant. Something you may want to keep in mind as well.|||As part of my daily routine I search ah for lvl 51-55 greens(armor). They d/e into either illusion dust or greater eternal essence. I usually spend 20 mins a day and make about 200g profit. Of course all server economies are not the same. I limit the items to 7g and under. Illusion dust sells for about 2.5 g each and greater eternal essence for about 13-17g depending on the day. Ill lose money on some items , but when the greater eternal essence drop in 2s or 3s it makes up for it. You just have to be willing to keep buying until the numbers turn greatly in your favor.
