In the last 3 weeks orso I have been getting a lot of questions about professions. Today I’ll be awnsering the common ones for the broader public.

What are the best money making professions?

Tbh… everything. You can make money with everything. There are a couple ones that are better ofcourse. Tailoring/enchanting works really well, so does mining/JC, skinning/LW, herb/inscription. The best thing is to take one crafter, one gather proffesion untill lvl80 and make the things that give you a good (though slow) profit. Lill’ sparkys workshop can work wonders for that. Once your lvl80, work your way up to 420+ on the crafting prof. and drop the gather one. take up insc, jc or ench and start lvling it with the profit made from lvling it. once that is up to 400+ you’ll make triple money. proffesions that make good money from best to worst: JC, Ench, Ins, LW, Tailoring, mining, herb, skin,alch, BS, Eng.

Should I drop my gathering proffesion for a crafting one?

really depends, I would say yes but only if your first crafing is above 420. AND you have a nice stockpile of good/gold to lvl it further.

Should I take 2 gather professions while lvling?

Nothing wrong with that! I just don’t do it, because I don’t like to spend too much time on the side while questing/dungeoning. Yes, yes crafting takes time too. I usually gather all my mats, and after 10 lvls i go and use them all in one trek to lvl my crafting one. (while I’m afk watching some anime…hey that rhymes!..ahum)


What about engineering?

Engineering has some things that make money (bullets/arrows, bronze tubes for allaince, overcharged cap..) but most of the time it’s just fun, explosive and helpfull. My warlock has Engineering and he’s a walking timebom. Damiän is gearing for pvp, and the cloacks, rocket hands, bombs, etc make it easy to suprise my enemy’s and kick some ass. Also the mailbox and wherever you want auctioneer == great utility for bankers.
