Not sure what way to go yet...but..Skinning/Minning

Hey Everyone! This is Pepsit!! Your lovable hugable gnome rogue, thats right lovable...lol. Ok. Down to business. I am currently a farmer for Leather and Ore. I am planning to go Leatherworking and Engineering but I am really looking for some insight. I dont have any other LW but I do have another miner at 375.

Also at this guilds disposal I have a 379 JC character name is Pepsitron. I can cut any epic jem of the Isle, and I really dont have any other recipes but if you come across some I am willing to pay you and cut all gems for free. ( Free anyways cause y'all are guildies) So feel free to ask.


Thank you all again!

~Pepsit!



Remember hugable and lovable.

If you go with two crafting professiong (leatherworking and mining) you'll need to have a source for the raw materials. You have the mining on another toon, do you have a skinner to back you up?

Mining and Skinning will help you get the necessary cash for mounts and training as you level. You might want to keep these two until you reach level 60.

Ugh....I can always get better gear from instances and raids so...I will stay farmer for now.


Any other suggestions?

Why not consider the most obvious, skinning and leatherworking?

Skinning is far and away the easiest to level, and to collect with, but the cash returns are somewhat limited without leatherworking. Even though I'm not LW, the significant money I make with leatherworking is only possible because I have a generous and loyal friend who will "process' my leather, making it more sellable.

As a rogue, with LW you can likely make interim things to use to get those better drops.

From my very limited low-level alt mining experience, I personally find mining frustrating, time-consuming, disruptive when the party is traveling, and highly storage intensive, whereas processing leather actually reduces the storage burden, so you can carry more of the fruits of your labors.

If you're strictly in it for the money while you level, I bet leatherworking (as an adjunct to skinning) is more profitable than mining as a stand-alone skill, i.e., with no manufacturing skill to turn the raw materials into better-selling things. And, you already have a miner - try something different!

I know you're asking about primary professions, but don't ignore the secondary professions - all three are good for making money.

Some of people laugh at me, but I made the most money while leveling from fishing. i still make good money at it at level 70 and it is invaluable for getting mats for buff foods (which I use, sell and give to my friends), plus I get lots of motes of water, scrolls, and other miscellaneous stuff.

I am going to be skinning. Leatherworking. Anyone have any extra plans on the side I am sure if my gnome gave ya puppy eyes he could get them....lol j/k Nah if you have some available plz post here and let me know.
