Mining / skinning Combo in OutlandsFollow

***** your guild mate's profession, I'd say go for what you want.

I'm a 70 hunter too going on PvP. I'm 375 mining but only 236 engineering.

Come on its a game. No way are you gonna find a perfect combo. Its up to you.

Disenchanting? I'll say get it up to like 200 or whatever it is to be able to DE 60+ stuff. You should have done that when you hit outlands. God the blues, greens from quest and drops from mob- instance and during grinding. i wished i had taken up enchanting back at 60.

Oh well too late to whine. Skinning is good. If you're willing to go through the trouble from 1-375 then go for it. Come on its only a profession.

Just my thought: professions for hunter aren't really 'zomginidaprofessionwtf'. hunters farm money easy. No repair bills or nuts, and you glaze through quest and grinding simple. I farm for primal water at nagrand easy. 5 Primal in an hour?

So yea.

here is a bit of advice to make some money with enchanting:

you will not make money (or much money) by selling enchants.

you will make money by disenchanting cheap greens/blues on the AH and selling the mats for a profit.

Look in this forum for a 5-pg thread on 'how to make money DEing'

sell the primal might transmutes or just sell your herbs from herbalism. you can still make flasks/elixirs though so if you can get the mats for a flask of supreme power that is a quick 50g on my server.

Your guild sounds pretty big, so they wont miss your skills if you drop them. At the same time, they won’t need whatever skills you provide, either. So considering that, and also considering that you may not always be with the same guild, take the skills you want, without regard to what the guild thinks.

Assuming you will want to make money by disenchanting, then you need stuff to d/e. The AH may be good for items 1-20, but often 20-70, you won’t find many items. Being 70 lets you visit many instances for dropped loot. Just outdoor farming also will net you some loot you can disenchant. Outdoor farming in Outlands will get you some great stuff to disenchant or sell for gold.

My last suggestion is that, as a person who does a lot of instances now, you aren’t getting much loot due to the drop rates and rolling against 4 other people (at least). Either take a lot of time out to farm for yourself, or start up another character. The loot you get from leveling up alts can help your enchanter to level up, sell mats, or sell off item at AH, which benefits everyone on your account.

The issue is that you don't have herba so it's tough to make profit with alchemy in these conditions, except for transmutes. Primal Might is not a good money maker, I prefer the primal to primal transmutes, but the best ones are discovered so you need to make potions/elixirs (not easy without herba). There are a few valuable ones like Primal Earth to Water from Sporeggar (revered), that's a guaranteed 10g per day + the extra procs from time to time. Not much but it's a start. Otherwise set yourself a goal like getting Exalted with Consortium, and grind the raiders south of area 52. They will drop silver, netherweave (sell), greens (to DE), insignias (for rep) and prison keys. Use the prison keys to get at the same time rep and a nice drop (to sell or DE, I regularly got BoE stuff that could sell for 20g+). And as you progress with Consortium, you will get better gems each month (meaning a revenue of at least 50g per month).

I found that primal mights cost more in primals than one can sell them for.
I make earthstorm diamonds instead.

The gems are dirty cheap and primal earth goes for 3-4g on my server. I farm water myself, I just park on plateu and fish and usually get pools spawn right under my bobber (and I kill nearby elementals ocasionally). Takes me less than hour to farm 3-4 primal waters and the fish I catch and cook is just extra profit.

I sell all my stones for 80g BO in no time and make nice little profit out of it each day.
Doing daily quests cashes me over 50g more plus whatever drops from killing stuff around.

I find instances to be actual waste of money, I only run them if I am interested in rep or particular drop but I dont expect to make any gold out of them.
2 hours of farming anything from elementals to BEs in SMW gets me more gold than running any instance twice a day for whole week.

yes, skinning and mining will make you bunches of cash in the Outlands. Even Herbalism will. Although skinning is a must for money.
