Good Question about Mage/Priest Side ProfessionFollow

#1 Jul 09 2006 at 1:06 PM Rating: Decent
I read the sticky and Understand that you can only pick 2 professions

I have a Mage and a Priest.

I want to make my Mage Herbalism/Alechemy

The Priest Mining/Blacksmith.

Would this benefit me the most when they both reach level 60, join a guild and can raid?

THX!

One should be Herb/Alch as you have.

Since both are cloth wearers, Blacksmithing does nothing for you. You'd be much better off with Tailor/Enchant or two gathering professions.

There are certain questions you wanna ask yourself when you pick professions
1. How expensive will this profession be/How will this make me money later on?
2. How does this profession benefit me and will it benefit me more than others?
3. Will this be fun/beneficial to have around or a complete waste of time and money?
4. Why do i have these professions? Is there an even better profession i can pick for my toon?
5. If i'm going to use these 2 professions, will i have to drop one later on?
and finally...
6. How long would it take to train these professions to a point where it would be beneficial?


Otherwise, have fun and get to 300!

you'll lose money, and end up using mats better applied elsewhere.

Tailoring/enchanting. What are you going to use cloth for? - to skill up tailoring, to skill up first aid, or to sell for coins? If you use tailoring to create greens to skill up enchanting, you will be hurting first aid. If you skill up first aid, you will be taking resources from tailoring.

herb/alchemy. Alchemy does not provide much money until higher levels, and plants sell for more than potions.

A better solution would be making one herbalism/enchanting and the other mining/skinning, while adding fishing to both. You can use the gold you make to BUY the potions and armor you want at the AH.

Do tailoring on the mage, ive had it since lvl 5 or so, lvl 46 as we speak (300 tailoring since 43) I've not yet needed to use a single bandage, so skip first aid until your 300 tailoring^^

This person doesn't seem to PvP at all. Bandages are an imperative part of ANY class. They are just damn helpful. If you're at low health and get an add, rather than running away you sheep the add, kill what you were attacking, and bandage. Full health, and you restart the battle.

First Aid is always the first thing I pick up on a new character. Its importance can not be stated clearly enough.

QFT

Before any other profession, before anything else, i learn first aid. Hell i am not even "In to" PvP(other than my server type) and it is hands down the best profession there is. Sure you can get to 60 having never used a bandaid, but you have done it much slower than a FA using player, and in the end, you pretty much have to have 300 FA for anything past 5 man content. Even preist/druis/shaman/pallies use bandiads to allow for HP gain while using the 6 second rule.

FA FTW.

I would suggest herb/alcy on one, and tailor/skinning on another.

If you don't want to do enchanting, that is. It's probably the most expensive skill to lvl. Skinning, as a gathering profession, will make you quite a bit of money.

But if you really want enchanting, go for it.

BTW... you can join guilds far before you're lvl 60.

Enchanting would help both classes,
players are all ways saying that the enchanting wands are good for the lower level, this would help both,
and I'v made money from low level enchanting with no gathered mats...
low bids on all the things that players don't want at the AH, then sell the mats you get from disenchanting them back to the AH.
You can play as a enchanter that makes their money from other enchanters, it does need a lot of time and 20 or 30s to get started.

Two-Handed Sword: +1 int ...2s
Cloth Robe: +1 str ...1s
and so on
