Ok so my mazin is a 55 druid with alch/herb. I'm thinking of making an alt with herb/Lskinning and dropping herb on my main just so I can get LW/herb in my main and bank some GP for both of my toons. I know people have done this but i'ld like to know how sucsessful they were and if I'm guna be called a 'tard for doing it.
you mean dropping alch so you have LW/herb? or vice versa?
also, don't plan on getting very far with leatherworking if you don't have any souce for the leather until you level your alt fairly high.

One of the things I found is that if you have a hard time leveling alts like I do (I prefer to focus on my main) your gathering skills on your higher level toon are wasted on your lower leveled alt; most of the stuff you gather is used in making things that are beyond the skill abilities of your alt.
I made a Draenei shaman a while ago and selected Engineering/Jewelcrafting as her professions. Having spent some time with 375 skinning on my main in Outland, I grew bored with it and dropped it two days ago and took up mining. Over the last couple of days I've been zipping around lowbie zones mining my butt off (now @ 125) and both smelting ore to send my alt bars and sending my alt unrefined ore to prospect. I'll have my level 11 shammy to 150 in both Jewelcrafting and Engineering in no time with an abundance of ore left over to sell. I like dual-tasking craft skills (using them to level professions on other toons and also for earning gold on my main) but eventually, I'll have to spend some time leveling my Shaman or all of the ore I get is going to either accumulate beyond reason or wind up sold.

I have a lvl 70 lock sugar daddy (Herb/Alch) and 7 lvl 10 - 29 alts. All my low lvl alts are gatherers. It seems Mining/Skinning never stops giving on low lvl toons. When they reach lvl 22-29, I drop one of the gathering skills and put in something that matches with what I kept. Minning and Engineering. Minning and Jewelcraft. Skinning and Leatherworking. etc.. Each will get a specific prof later so I'll have one of almost everything (I'll worry about specialization later).
With gathering profs, you don't really spend any money to level. You just gather mats for the higher ups to provide you with what you need. It's been working very well for me. Easy to lvl up when you have a ton of mats from all the little brothers and sisters. ;)
