I’m looking to play a Nelf Hunter in WoW Classic, but I’m having a problem trying to figure out what professions I should go for. I know that Mining/Engineering is probably best, since Engineers can make their own ammo (and iirc, there’s a vendor that will trade the best bullets from Engineering for an arrow equivalent), but I can’t help but feel that LW/Skinning would work too, since it helps with obtaining gear during leveling and likely at max level too, since it can help with obtaining the cloak that prevents Nefarian’s DoT from killing you instantly. Then, there’s Alchemy/Herbalism for raid consumables…
Mining/eng is a safe bet. Get rid of mining later. You can always do something else and just buy your eng mats too if you want, depends how much things are selling for. Eng/herb might be better since you can sell the herbs and maybe they are worth more than the ore? Up to you.
Depends. I would Skin/LW to get lvling gear. Then at 60 if you wanna pvp go mining/eng. If you wanna guarantee a raid spot go herb/alch and prepare to give flasks and potions away to add value to your raid spot. Remember gold won’t be an issue. You can farm mara. Maybe trib when it opens if the pathing is fubar.
Do take note that making flask is not a simple activity in vanilla, you had to actually go to an alchemy lab inside Scholomance dungeon to make your flasks (or a cleared BWL once phase 2/3 arrives)
yup. Also elixirs giveaways esp mongoose will make you a popular guy. Also lvling cooking is super easy. My point is if you help contrib to your raid they will always bring you.
depends. is this your main or alt? if its your main, LW and Skinning. the reason being is that you will be dependent on LW for a good while, for the gear upgrades. remember, this was back when professions mattered and so did patterns. skinning will not only help with LW but it will also be a good way to make gold.
save everything else for an alt somewhere down the line. main should always focus on personal progression first.
i mean, pick what you want but just a heads up; while you are scrapping together a crap ton of gold, just to buy a massively inflated level 30 upgrade on the ah [put there by newbies from retail who are trying to destroy the market]- i will be hoarding my mats, patterns and making myself 10x better gear.
If you want to make your own gear, then lw would be the way to go.
Well before BWL, there is the pre-raid Dino-pants everyone likes. And chain recipes keeps LW relatively necessary/relevant for a portion of progression.
The only class I know of that doesn’t have a crafting BiS is Paladin.
