Poll: TradeskillsFollow

I'm curious to know exactly what tradeskills other rogues take. I'm not really looking to find out what skills your alts have (zOMG engi 4 BGs LOL!), so disregard this unless your rogue is your primary character, or at least level 50.

I've included both production skills and gathering skills since I'm sure there are several of you out there with two gathering skills. In either case, please choose the skill that you would consider to be your "primary" tradeskill. If you choose a production skill, please tell us which specialization you chose.

Elemental Leatherworking.

To hell if I know why

Chose mining because I do much, much more mining than I do BS.

BS is pretty much just for the mace and to be able to attach weapon chains to my stuff.

I'm another leatherworker/skinner. I haven't specialized yet, but naturally I'm about to go with elemental.

miner/skinner i'm lvl 64....i still dont know what i want to do, so i go with this for now

I'm herb/alch on my main. I'm skin/leather on my other. Yeah...I have two rogues. But I have a question for you all...I just found the Dragonscale trainer in Badlands as I was questing the other day. I don't plan to go that route, I plan to go elemental. But what happened when BC came out? Do I still have to specialze like it is pre-BC around skill level 250? Or can I learn everything and is the new specialization in the Outlands?

Try making money via enchanting on a low pop server like Zuluhed. You might make 20g an hour.

Iam alchemist with potions master.

but iam changing to an engineer. THere are already lots of alchem [and many who are rogues] in my guild.

I mine and enchant, mine for cash, enchant for myself and friends. +2 weapon damage on both rings + Mut = mighty. On our server there are constantly people spamming enchanting services in trade so I don't even bother trying to turn a profit.

In response to saying that JC makes no money that is so not true. I have a buddy who easily makes 2-3k a week buying stacks of ore from guildies, friends, or AH and prospecting them. Immagine buying a stack of adamantite ore for 20g and prospecting it into only one blue gem, you just made about 25g. The last time I had him prospect a stack of ore for me I got 2 blue gems, and about 3 greens. Now that was mostly luck but still thats about 80+ gold for one stack of ore.

The best part is that it takes very little time, and you don't have to sit in a major city spamming trade waiting for stupid noobs to send you tells. I could however understand this not working well on a low pop server, but in all reality you aren't going to make much off of most proffessions on a low pop server just due to a lack of economy.

The market will only sustain so much. On a small server, if you decide to farm an instance for shards, you will kill the market. I farmed BRD for a long time, and if I could sell every shard I got, it would have been 300g / hour by my calculations. I ended up with a dozen stacks of shards that took over a month to sell, and the price on shards dropped to 5g each.

mining is the only prof we can stealth run for cheaps money :) so it gets my vote

my guy though has no professions to speak of, i raid and arena for loot and i farm stratholme on loop for cash (ya.. thats right, ****** STRAT)

Goblin Engineering and Herbalism.

Got a leatherworking/alchemy druid so there was just no way I'd do the leather thing again.
