Do you use Tradeskills?

Currently i have main toon Mining/Jewelcrafting 223/173 fishing 235 cooking 235
Secondary toon Herbalism/Alchemy 240/203
Third toon Skinning/Leatherworking 280/175
4th toon Enchanting 125 for disenchanting etc.

Do you guys even bother with these? I just dont want to get to 70 and then have to go back to noob zones to start these. It doesnt actually take much time away from leveling and its a good change of pace. Great for times when you just dont feel like going out and hunting. Just keep mats in bank til you want to grind craft.

Oh well just a thought.

I love professions personally. I'd say maybe pickup tailoring on one, or maybe Another alchemist. Tailoring lets you craft greens/blues to DE from cloth and get more chanting mats, which you will need for your team. The other alchemist can give you another specialty, and the best trinket in the game.

Just hit 62 and haven't picked up a profession yet. I'm not looking forward to hitting 70 and leveling 2 professions per toon plus first aid too!

Mine's a tactical plan.

3x Shaman with Tailoring to make Primal Mooncloths when I have time later before WotLK.
3x Shaman with Alchemy for the Alchemist Trinket.
After I get 20 slot bags filled in my mains (and alts), I'll will drop Tailoring and power Enchanting to get Ring enchant boosts since I have the faction already.

sounds like alot of hard/tedious/boring work :)

when i levelled my group all i did was, enchanting & herbs/alch.
Bit of a waste of a few tradeskills, but they wherent nessessary.

My main (Lock) is already Enchant(371)/Shadoweave tailor(375)
My Box team lead (the pally) is an Engineer (350)/Miner(375)
The rest have nothing as I CBF to take the time out while levelling to level their profs
but
I will be levelling 2 mages to Spellfire tailoring and the priest to mooncloth or whatever it's called for the epic sets.
The priest will also do jewelcrafting. Tailoring and jewelcrafting are the kinds of professions you can just sit down
and level 1 to 375 in a big session. My banks are full of mats and I don't sell cloth or metal.

My setup:

Main team:

Pally: Ench/Eng (Plan to drop the Ench for Herb)
Shammies: All LW + Skinning, Mining, Tail, JC and Ench

Others: Cover basically all else except Blacksmithing, lots of multiple gatherers, but that's mainly cos they were levelled solo.

5x Transmute spec + SS rep trinket FTW
