Im new to vanilla and curious about which professions I should choose now that they actually have impact. I’m rolling priest and read I need a wand early, and I see two ways of doing that. AH or enchanting profession. I was planning on doing tailoring and skinning for gear + extra money, but now Im reading online that I could make my own wand early with tailor/enchanting. Do you guys think a fresh servers lesser wand price will be high enough on AH that it’s worth making my own? or is skinning early game better for more $$?
Mining and herbalism for cash. Buy what you want/need.
Honestly, I’d choose just Herbalism mainly because you can only track one type of node at a time else risk having to constantly toggle your Tracker. At least at level 60 you can do DM-East jump runs and make mega gold picking herbalism nodes and can do solo if you want.
Hadn’t thought of the tracking!
Tailoring(BiS gear), Enchanting… and be your guild enchanter
That’s the best situation for you to be in
Herbalism so you don’t have to kill mobs. As a healer its too expensive to keep swapping specs every week.
Tailoring so you can craft that BoP best in slot robe. Then either keep or switch to alchemy.
Enchanting would only be for crafting wands, you can have a bank alt do that and DE the gear you funnel it, or just buy off the AH. Problem with keeping enchanting long term is the recipes behind rep grinds like mongoose enchant. You got to do that to be the guild enchanter.
hmmm im still totally unsure. no one seems to like skinning. is the money bad in it? i heard its good since youre killing things you skin anyway.
skinning is great for leveling, but so many other people do it that your going to be vendoring most everything you gather.

i thought that was the goal haha to just double vendor not sell on AH
You won’t get the materials and skill to make that wand until WAY after you actually need it. Most Alliance will have to settle for grouping with melee or slogging it until they complete the Westfall quest for their first wand. And after that the wands come through gameplay in quests (WestfallDefias>BlackfathomDeepsQuest>ArathiStromgardeElite>STV Goblin Igniter>etc.etc.)
Don’t expect a very stable economy for awhile either as these servers will be with fresh players who need gold for their mounts and will be busy wiping each other out the moment they set foot into contested territory to make the material scarcity even worse.
As a Priest you might want to avoid Enh on your first toon since you will be DE’ing a lot of your gold away to train that prof. And if you are not your guild’s dedicated Enchanter then it’s a bit of a waste for you since you will be a third wheel.
Tailoring/Herb is typically a better choice because you can craft a LOT of good gear to carry you all the way to 60 Dungeons and the Herbalism can either make cash off AH or feed an Alt Alch for consumables for yourself and your guild.
Plus it’s always painful to have to pass by a Black Lotus because you aren’t an Herbalist.
