Yes, here I am, with another post of which profession make more money.
But at the same time, which might better once I reach higher levels.
By this I mean, if I want armorpiece, I can hand them the mats or if I want a flask or some potion.

Disenchanting makes good money, I know that, and skinning and herbalism dont make the same amount together as disenchanting does alone, at least so far.
So whats better, flask and potions, stuff like that, or armor and armorkits? (clefthoof etc.)

Thanks in advance.

Oh, and the character Im talking about is my lvl 24 druid, that might help.

Are you doing it strictly for profit? Or do you plan on benefitting from the created items?

Skinning isn't great money, but it's easy money if you're leveling a toon, simply because you don't have to go outside of normal grinding for the mats.

Enchanting/disenchanting is great money, but you either have to be savvy/diligent with the AH, or have a higher lvl toon to feed you DE'able items.

Yes, it's for profit.
I will probably drop skinning for enchanting, as my bank is full of green armors and weapons, I can basicly start making profit right away.
And I think potions and flasks will benefit me more than a armorpiece every now and then.
But I want more oppinions before I choose, just to make sure I make the "right" choise. =)

Well, you can't make potions unless you have alchemy to go with herbalism. You can't make armor kits without leatherworking.

If you are deadset on enchanting, and also want a crafting profession, your only choice is tailoring unless you plan on buying all of your crafting mats.

If you use your mats to make crafted items, then you're not selling the mats on the AH, and therefore you are not maximizing your income. With very few exceptions, crafted items always sell for less than the value of the mats that go into them.

Pick the flowers, skin the carcasses, and sell whatever you get. Don't deviate from that unless absolutely necessary.

I meant in higher levels, IF I need something.
If I want Flask of Relentless Assault, I farm the mats and have an alchemist make it for me and maybe give him a small tip or something.
Thats how I been thinking anyway.
