Hello,
I have recently rolled a new priest on the Horde side. I have a 70 Warlock, but its over on alliance. I have taken up tailoring to be able to eventually make some of the nice epics when my priest hits 70... What would be a good trade to take up, that may compliment Tailoring, or a priest respectively?
I understand gathering, could help fund my tailoring... But I always can make money on my Warlock and by way of Booty Bay auction, get some gold to my Priest if needed... Though, the more independant my priest can be, the better!
Thank you in advance, for any advice, or comments on the subject!

Enchanting.
Those two are the only two crafting professions that don't require another profession for the materials (short of having a alt to farm or using the AH).
I have a toon with tailoring + enchanting and it's worked out well. I get to DE all the crap I craft for tailoring.

i agree with the other poster that enchanting (actually...disenchanting) is a good pair with tailoring. as you level up tailoring, you can DE things you tailor, as well as DE quest rewards, and outdated gear.
but, mining is another good skill to go with it. Ore sells. from copper to mithril, thorium, and the outland ores, they all sell for good money.
blacksmith, Engineer and JC all use ore...and a lot of it. there is always a demand at decent AH prices for you to gather and sell what you mine.
(herbs sell well, and will make you money, but there seems to be more crafting depending on ore rather then herbs)
mining will cost you only the price of a Pick ax, and the cost of training smelting from the vendor.
enchanting and disenchanting can make lots of money...as other threads will tell you, but will cost you more as it is a crafting profession.
first, think of a pairing that will be fun for you. then go for it. try mining for a while, if you don’t like it after all, drop it and pick up enchants later...you can always switch at anytime

Are you sure you can do this? You can't if you are on the same account, I think. But I could be wrong. Never tried it myself. It would work for sure if they are on separate accounts.
medeardoff is correct, you cannot buy your own auctions through the neutral AH.

I have tried it once, and It does not work if its one of your own characters trying to purchase your own auction. However, thats what my trusty cousin is for :) I just hand him over a chunk of gold, and have him make the purchase from my hordes auction in booty bay. The only draw back to this, is the large cut the auction takes out! Out of 100G, my horde character received 85 of it! So by my careful, mathematical, calculations, this would only suggest a 15% cut!
Thank you all for your responses to my post! I have taken up tailoring and enchanting! Thus far its worked out like a charm! Both have reached slightly over 100, with little of my gold spent (maybe 1-2g). As Grollog had posted below, I create some greens tailoring (even as low as I am) and then simply disenchant for mats for enchanting skill ups. In addition, I was actually skilling up initially off disenchanting! I never realized you could get enchanting skill-ups from the act of dis-enchanting items!
Of course you should get enchanting as a first priority. Tailoring is optional, and it could be replaced with a gathering skill to make money or another trade skill you find useful--in particular, alchemy. Tailoring allows you to make a few nice items that will be replaced by better items. Tailoring is marginally useful considering that other professions can generate more money or more benefits. But enchanting is a profession that allows you to convert items into more valuable merchandise.
has anyone ever tried to trade with a mind controlled member of the opposite faction?

I’m betting you made simple brown robes. Many enchanting guides suggest tailoring for a good source of greens early on. The two professions do work well together. But I’d never suggest them to a new player, as both professions can suck the coins right out of your pouch if you aren’t careful. But for an experienced player the two are a good choice.
And don’t get used to gaining skill by disenchanting. I’m sorry to say that only works for the first thirty points or so. *sigh*

Try to keep in mind that money is not the only reason to take up tailoring. Some people simply enjoy being able to make items they can use as they level. Also, may players, for various reasons, don’t have access to instance drops and don’t like to PvP. So crafted gear is a very good option for them. And then there’s the problem I found with my horde characters, the lack of items on the auction house. I had my hunter drop engineering to take up tailoring because I could rarely ever find bags for sale in the auction house. I leveled up my hunter’s tailoring and bags have not been a problem since.
I have a level 70 Tailor/Enchanter, and while the two work well together, I was always broke while leveling. It seems to be a little better now at 70, but I still don't have nearly the gold reserve that my friends and guildies do.
If you're going to keep the tailoring to make your own items (I do with all my squishies) then I would recommend taking one of the gathering professions to offset the cost of the tailoring.
On my server, herbalism is by far the most profitable, and my herbalist/tailors have always had enough money for their class/profession and mount training when it was time. Of course mining or skinning may be better on your server.
If you happen to know a tailor who would be willing to make items for you, you might be better off with two gathering professions until level 60+. Same for Enchanting. If you know an enchanter to get your items enchanted, you'll have more money if you take another gathering prof. I can't tell you how many times I de'd something I could have auctioned for a pretty penny just to try to get a shard. Again on my server, the dusts and essences that you get alot of from de'ing don't sell for much. The ones that DO sell for a decent amount are the ones you need to keep to move your skill up and do the really good enchants.
I leveled my priest to 62 before taking tailoring, and leveled it to 290 in two days or so, so that's a viable option as well.
