I'm starting a new gnome lock and trying to decide on professions. I'm going with skinning so that I can sell and supply my other character with skins for leatherworking when needed. For the other, which is more profitable, mining or herbs?

Mining or herbs?Follow
In the beginning, mining. Copper > Silverleaf/Earthroot/Peacebloom.
In the early middle (level 20+), herbalism. Swiftthistle and Kingsblood > Tin.
In the middle (level 30-40), it depends. Iron is great, but herbalism has a lot of easy-to-find herbs that, while they sell for less, are very prominent.
In the later middle, mining, but just barely (level 40-48ish). Mithril and lots of Iron (very easy to find at this level), and the very rare Dark Iron for the adventureous > Sungrass (though it is still decent) and the rare Ghost Mushroom (VERY rare).
In the end-game, tied by luck. Mountain Silversage/Plaguebloom/Dreamfoil > Thorium any day, every day. But if you find an Arcane Crystal/Blood of the Mountain, you get a major income boost (dozens of gold more). If you're lucky, mining > herbalism; but not counting luck, herbalism > mining.
Hope that helped! ^_^

As the one person said, but I would pick the skill you like the most so you dont get so bored of it and drop the skill later in the game.

That was extremely helpful, thank you. I also just realized that it will probably be skinning and herbs. My other character is a leatherworking rogue. Lol, so I'll need the herbs also.
