Druid professions

Just wondering what would be best, lw/skin for gear or others??

Designated druid offtank, so I’m going with Herb/Alch to start, maybe drop herb for another profession later.

Mine will be enchanting and something else maybe tailoring even though I don’t want to.

lw skinning for your gear is good everyone needs skinners like for the beast hide.
There is some sort of wolf mask that is a druid item you can craft that gives energy and rage to druid.

I would normally go mining engineering because I love engineering gadgets from gnomish.
But I merely want a max level enchanter for twinking toons

Druid professions are skinning lw, herb alchemy, mining engineering.
Or pure gatherer herb and skinning

If you’re new… go alchemy and herb. Its the easiest one to level, you get great benefit off of it and it can actually make money.

if you’re looking for easy money while leveling… mining/skinning or herb/skinning

If you’re looking to be a hardcore feral bear tank… go enchanting. You can craft a bind of pickup trinket item called Smoking Heart of the mountain. It has tons of armor and is BIS for bear tanks.

If you’re looking to go Moonkin… Go tailoring. Once ZG patch becomes a thing you get access to Bloodvine. Its a MUST have for balance trees with tons of hit rating and crit rating. If you’re a tailor you get a special set bonus.

If you’re a hardcore PVPer go engineering/mining. Although I wouldn’t do this first.

Leatherworking is terrible. Its expensive with no real profit. And there isn’t anything unique from it that you cant have someone else craft for you. Devilsaur set and wolfhide helms are BOE. You’re better off letting someone else craft it for you.

I’m going skinning and leatherworking. Will switch out of leatherworking eventually and go to engineering.

Start with Skinning/Herbalism – you can skin/herb in all feral forms. Very convenient.

Once you get to Level 40 and have you mount, consider dropping one of the gathering skills for one of the crafting professions that you think will work best with your character.

Leatherworking works great, as it takes a while to gear up through quests in Classic. Alchemy can be another good choice. Only problem with that is bag space, especially early on.

I’m starting with a hunter on alliance, and shaman on horde, both leatherworkers. I’m not sure which side, but the next alt will be a druid, who will do alchemy, since I’ll have the main character doing leatherworking.
