whats good with a epic flyer?Follow

I would think mining and herbing, where you have tracking. See a node/plant land and harvest. rinse and repeat.

OMG.

keep your current tailor/enchant profs. tailored epics are great and enchanting is a great prof for maxing your stats as a level 70 (and it's a money maker).

It's fun. It's just as fun with a Land mount. But it's a hell of a long slow grind to get Engineering up to that level.

just keep tailoring and enchanting, the spellfire set is way better than grinding engineering and mining up to 375 when ur already over 250 with both professions

I am getting the epic flyer soon, and i decide to drop enchanting to pick up mining so I dont have to farm the way i get my epic flyer now, it is a pain in the *** to farm 5000g!

Don't even bother getting (dis)enchanting to 300. You've got it at 275 which is high enough to DE all but the very top level of gear (epic 70s) and you'll almost never find those.

275 is easily high enough to make money from DEing and selling mats.

Lots of people offering feedback from the perspective of what appears to be folks who haven't hit 70 or haven't been there for a while.

If you've already capped tailoring, keep it. You can grind Netherweave Cloth very easily and do all kinds of neat things with it for profit.

Enchanting to 275 is fine if you never plan on raiding. If you get into raiding (even Karazhan) there will almost inevitably come a time when most of the loot you see will get sharded. Every boss drops 2 epics, and after you've been through a few times, only so many of those epics are going to be wanted by your party. If you don't have someone to shard them, you get to vendor them for a whole 5-8g. Shard them and the shard becomes worth 15-30g (depending on your realm) or can be set aside for high end enchants (ie. Mongoose, etc.)

I had Enchanting/Skinning as my professions when I got to Outland. When I got my epic flyer, I dropped skinning for mining. Then I got bored with mining and dropped it for Herbalism. Fishing with an epic flyer...meh. You don't need to cover nearly the ground that you do with mining or herbalism. Not to say it wouldn't be a benefit, just not nearly so big.

The only time I would recommend dropping a profession to cash in on the benefits of finding nodes with an epic flyer is if you've got professions that you aren't using or would be less profitable than what you could get with mining/herbalism + epic flyer.

And once you've got an epic flyer, believe me...the costs don't magically stop. New gear means new gems + new enchants. Raiding means big repair bills and consumable costs. Lowbie alts can suck you dry in a heartbeat if you're not careful. The costs only become greater the farther you progress at 70...just because you've got the biggest "one shot" expense out of the way doesn't mean you have no further use for gold.

The way to make money with DISenchanting isn't to grind and get those drops, you go on the AH and buy cheaper greens that disenchant into items that are worth more than what you spent on the green and sell that.


That being said, I personally would have went with herbalism, I dropped mining (at 375) for it and haven't looked back. Then again I raid 3 times a week and consumable costs dropped significantly when I can go through and get all of my mats for mana potions in a few runs along with other rare items (Fel lotus -- for Flask of Pure Death) and others that sell pretty well.

you only need enchanting at 300 to be able to DE everything in the game, so the other 75 points above that are not necessary if you want to make money (unless you plan on rep-grinding, etc to hock trade channel stuff).
