Switching a high proffession for a new one?Follow

#1 Oct 04 2007 at 10:55 AM Rating: Decent
Ok, I'm a 68 warrior who has enchanting and skinning. Skinning is maxed at 375 and enchanting is around 345.

My problem is that enchanting has become boring to me. I can never sell enchants and skinning is just a money maker. I dont have a huge stash of gold, but i have enough.

I was wondering.. would it be wise to drop these proffessions and take up mining and blacksmithing? Being a warrior, bs would help me quite a bit.

One idea i have thought of is dropping skinning for Mining and mining a bunch of mats and storing them, then dropping mining for BS, but it seems kind of odd to me.

Any input would be helpful (unless its just "You don't got BS as a warrior? NEWWWWB! LOOSER!! L2P!!!!!!" and other useless phrases..)

Depends if you want to use the BS to make money or for yourself.

Chances are, you may find that BS doesn’t make much money either. Mining itself would generate more money than BS does, in a given play session of 2-4 hours.

However, it sounds like you haven’t used enchanting to make money for you in the *other* way that it can. By disenchanting and selling mats, you will realize that enchanting is a worthy skill, useful for making money.

Once you hit 300 enchanting you do not need to level it any farther unless you want to enchant items. Enchanting can make you more money than you know what to do with if you use it to Disenchant for the mats and sell them. I find that mining is a good money maker, if you make enough money from skinning keep it, but if you have trouble selling the skins pick up mining. If you want, mine all of the mats, save some of them on an alt when you want to level BSing and sell the rest.

Actually, the mining idea sounds pretty good. I was worried about running out of space and completely forgot about using an alt for that. Thank you for the responses.

making your own armor sets is fun. admittedly, it's not always optimal (dressing like a clown is optimal)

if enchanting/skinning is boring you, go for mining/BSing

Blacksmithing will allow you to craft the epic BoP weapons at endgame. Pretty nice for a warrior.

That being said, if you're already lvl 68 the time might be better spent lvling to 70 and running Kara for epic weapons.
