CLASSIC: Best Gathering Profession for (1-60) dungeon grind group

Gameplay Professions
1

Hello,

First post ever on a Blizzard forum.

I am a first timer to Classic WoW, having played only WotLK through Cata and a little bit in MoP. I’ve searched the internet and YouTube for an answer to this question, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere:

My irl friend group plans on doing a considerable amount of leveling through means of dungeon grinding on our journey to level 60.

One of us is set to take alchemy and herbalism, one is doing tailoring + gathering, I’ll be doing enchanting + gathering, and the other two in the group may pick up engineering/blacksmithing/leatherworking + a gathering profession.

I’m looking for a suggestion for a gathering profession to use during this dungeon grind to help make a little gold along the way. Or maybe it’s not viable to try and level professions in a dungeon grind group? Are there certain dungeons to run repeatedly because there are lots of beasts to be skinned, or a dungeon that is rich in mining veins, or herbs?

I’m somewhat aware that higher level dungeons like BRD have plenty of opportunity for mining, but I’m looking for examples throughout the entire leveling experience that can help to keep our professions up to par with our toons’ levels, while also making some gold in the meantime :slight_smile:

See you out there!

In classic normally the person doing tailoring did enchanting too as neither of them need a gathering skill. They can also make then disenchant the cloth they make. Leatherworking needs skinning with it. Engineering and blacksmithing both need mining. When in dungeons your not going to get enough skill ups on herbing, mining and skinning so they are going to fall behind and have to be skilled up outside the group.
Enchanting is very expensive to level in classic and is going to fall behind what you need if grinding dungeons in a group. (Same with blacksmithing)

Your friend group could just funnel all cloth to the tailor to make items to be disenchanted for enchanting mats. with a whole group supplying cloth, leveling enchanting via dungeons shouldn’t be too bad. - Nowhere near the difficulty if only one person is supplying cloth.

You can also pass any dungeon boe drops, that aren’t upgrades for someone in the group, to the enchanter to be disenchanted for mats.
