Guys I need your help, I've hit 225 Smithing and I need help to decide... Which do you guys think is better? Im a paladin... Armorsmithing seems to have 3 times as many items u can make, but then again I hear swords sell for more... I need help deciding -.-
Everyone wants their crafting profesion to be a money maker, but it's just not feasible. More often than not, there will be one or two things that will sell for enough to make it worth while, and the rest are not worth tying to do. But with more and more people playing, there will be more people creating the high dollar items, which will drop the price people are willing to pay for them. It will get to the point where the materials to create anything will cost more than you'll make trying to sell it. If money is your motivator, start over with two gathering profesions. If usefullness is your motivation, check with your guild to see which is needed. If someone is already a weaponsmith, better for you to choose armorsmith. Other than that, it's just a personal choice. Choose what you want to make for yourself. I think you'll just be disappointed if you make your decision based on potential profit. I made this choice on a previous account to go with armorsmith, and had every intention of making another toon that would be a weaponsmith.
Step one , read maretha's post, it is packed full of truthes.
Step two, What are your buddies doing?, nothing worse than too menny armorsmiths and not enuff weaponsmiths, or vice verca.
Step three, Understand that you will make more money selling your ore and stone than makingin any item. Their is always somebody who will buy the mats to get a skill up, in hopes they will one day be able to make big bux on a Arcnite Reaper.
Understand that most of the folks that can afford the materials for that stuf(high end smighing equptment), are in a guild, thatn most likely has somebody that will do it for "Free"(well no smithing charge at least), or even worse, they will run a isntance and get better gear. Smithing is nice for yourself and your buddies, dont be foold though, they money making jobs are the gathering ones, thier is nothign speical about a specialised smith(my guild has 4,armor,axe,mace,soward)and money comes form "Special" stuff that cannot be eazly recreated, Stuff like the mats for said Armor/weapons. Even if you went armorsmith to make the Fire Resist gear for MC, the lava core and firey core cost more than you can charge for said equptment.
So basicly I am saying, smith for fun not for profit, sure thier is some stuff that sells well, and their is some cash in it for ya, but if you want money, drop smithing, start skinning, and sell that stuff.
