crafted epixFollow

Folks;

On my main characters (ktangent, mage & dethgar, warlock)... you're an idiot if you don't pick up tailoring for the UNBELIEVABLY good epic tailoring cloth you can make at 70. Is the same true for leatherworking on a rogue? I've got a lvl 25 rogue that I'm leveling (specifically to join in the mass gankage of mages and warlocks by rogues).

Same here, I gave up LW a long time ago and went Ingineering instead. The googles are quite nice, they're serving me well even to this day.

BUT, if I was to redo it from scratch, I guess I'd rather go with Enchanting, since I remember seeing some BOP enchants that I would like to have (while the google are ok but replacable). Just my two cents.

another thing to keep in mind with engineering is the jumper cables I think very helpful in 5 mans as you level. I dont find my self surviving the wipes as much in end game raids but up through kara and heroics a vanish and use of the jumpers on a party member that rezs can make for a nice time saver.

And what about Carpace Of Sun and Shadow(End game chest) he?

Plus Swiftstrike shoulders(I think that new end game gloves are BOE).

the BoP gear that you get isn't really worth the time/gold it takes to lvl, only one item i have that is BoP i would actuallly wear and thats the swiftstrike mantle, which pattern drops in MH. the swiftstrike braces, and the epic belt(forget the name)are worth getting, but as there BoE you don't need LW to get them.
if you want to make money from LW the only thing you can really sell with ease is the leg-armour, and even then to make a profit on them you need to grind primals, which you might aswell sell and make the same profit from.

people on my server don't like paying for crafts, they assume if they surply the mats thats enough, what about the time i spent getting the recipe/pattern is that worth nothing??

a sunwell chest pattern turned up on my servers AH, the seller set the price as 30,000g :P

That player is an asshat or he added one too many zeros. I can see the pattern going for 3k since it is the best chest in the game at this time, but come on...who really has 30k that they can plop down for a pattern?

Donate some moola to me Theo =P...

But yeah, there are quite a few people that can make money pretty quick throughout the week (I'm definitely not one of them), so something that's only a few thousand would probably be 'chump change' for them.

Yeah, I've only got 20k cash. Damn.

Those are the Rogue T1 Goggles. There is a pattern that drops off the trash in Sunwell for a T2 Version of each. The rogue one would be these.



Congratulations. I am sure this is very easy for someone who has time to do the dailies every day, but, as I mentioned, its quite a bit of money for someone who only does them on Weekends and one or two days out of the week. It may be easier for you to drop that much on one piece of gear, but I had a hard time parting with the 1200 I paid for my Vengance Wrap.

Shoulders - yes, boots - no. Karazhan boots are as good, ninja boots are much better.
On the other hand, LW is currently my most profitable crafting profession. Yesterday I earned 400g on armor kits (with mats from AH - would be 3 times more if I farmed them, but why bother?).

Btw, my opinion about enchanting for rogues - almost worthless.

enchanting is as usful to a rogue as any other class. it can also be very profitable, on vendor day i made 300g in tips doing mongoose, and 2k selling mats :P

Mongoose drops off of Moroes.
Im currently looking at dropping engineering actually. Im keeping enchanting since its at 375 but I no longer need the goggles since I got my t5 and will most likely get t6 within a few weeks. Im considering herbalism so I can gather all the mats I need for flasks/haste pots etc.

The point is not which profession is profitable, but which one gives the rogue something unique. Enchanting only gives us the ring enchants. I think that is not a good enough reason to pick it up.
As far as profits go, I have an enchanter as well, and currently this is probably my least profitable craft. Too much competition. I only do some sharding from time to time. And I have not seen Mongoose drop *even once* in the past year - don't get your hopes too high yet...
