before wotlk i would have said go for it because i got 700g+ in mats (at least on my realm that is what they sold for) for 60-70 in TBC. dropped enchanting though so i would not know about wotlk, i imagine mat prices for those kinds of mats probably have dropped a little but its hard to say. oh and i only had to have 275 enchanting to DE everything in TBC, or at least all the quest rewards that i got. the main professions you want when leveling up are mining and herb, so long as you have at least those you can level up the others at another time, just save all the mats you get on a banking alt.

hope this has helped some. ^_^

That sounds good and all but I got way more than 700g from just selling quest rewards from 60-70 in BC. Solo boxing 60-70 netted me something like 1500g from selling quest rewards on my rogue.

well i level my character with enchanting from 60-70 right after patch 3.0 (before wotlk was actually released) and they cut the exp per level almost in half so i did a lot less quests then when i had level my main from 60-70, don't remember what i got from selling quest rewards back then. i think it was 700g from DEing i can't remember exactly, it may have been more like 900-1,100g or so. i think i also used a bunch of the mats on an alt. it all whent straight to my 70 mount though lol.

i would just say don't go for enchanting on all, just 1. from what i remember the gain wouldn't be much, if any, to outweigh the loss of training to ~300+ IMO.

JC is indeed the "best" profession in WOTLK, due to the big self-buffs and the easy daily that can generate hundreds of gold for dragon eyes. No other prof really comes close.

I love however having just about every profession covered on my team, and when I level my DK he will be a BS to fill in the last slot I didn't do. 90% of the drops you get are going to be boe greens so you only need one person to DE them -- blue dream shards aren't worth much, most of the time its better vendoring blues than DEing them. I love being able to make anything i need without having to look for someone in trade chat (and worry if they will rip me off) and its great harvesting herbs and mining nodes as I run around daily.

I'd recommend at minimum 1x mining, 1x herbalism, 1x enchanter, 1x Leatherworker+skinner, 1x tailor. Then maybe 3-5 JCs and throw in inscription, blacksmithing and engineering if possible.

Keep in mind as well there will be new patterns in the future, maybe that probably are faction rep based or instance drops.

youd have to expend 4x the mats to lvl it on all toons. instead, do it on one, have lots of mats leftover and enchant the other guys with instead. also, do inscription on one and enchant some vellums and sell thems on the AH for some monies.

i wouldnt say that vendoring soulbound blues is better than DE'in. you need the dream shards for two things: buy new recipes once your skill gets higher and youll need them to do some of those enchants as well.

not likely. thats somethign theyre trying to keep from doing as much as possible. i read about it somewhere and they dont have many plans (if any) for havin recipes like this in the future or WotLK.

Isn't it F'ing sad how worthless dream shards are? I have 5 stacks sitting in my bags... tried selling them on AH. Yea.. I just vendor the blues now.

edit: and for tanks I would suggest JC and blacksmithing/enchanting for professions, but the JC is definitely a no brainer.

Are dream shards not used for anything other than purchasing patterns? There aren't any good enchants that use them?

Edit: Actually I'm looking now and Dream shards are used in quite a few good recipes. Why not make scrolls of them and sell them on the AH? Scrolls are awesome right now - when I was leveling enchanting on my character, I made 15 scrolls of Enchant 2H Weapon - Greater Savagery, and sold them for 90g each (all 15 of them sold). Thats a crapload of money to make for about 5 minutes of work and it was a HUGE profit because I only used mats from DEing quest rewards.

I can see no need for multiple enchanters on a single team. just vendor your quest rewards on the alternate characters.

decide which field gives you the best bang for your team like blacksmithing,leatherworking,tailoring, engineering.

I have my pally as BS/mining, one leather/skin, one tailor/enchat, etc.
I've always wanted multiple tailors or special cloth or multiple BS for titansteel.
but I can barely find enough titanium to keep the one BS making titansteel anyway.

I'm seriously considering this because just because of the dragon's eye. Tempted to stop running heroics and farm money just so I can level JC. The problem with it is from like 250-300 is a killer as there is barely any Thorium on the Horde AH here. I might have to look at the Alliance AH here and transfer it across because I really don't want to mine it and prospect it all. The gems and ore needed in this skill level area are very hard to come by these days

I leveled Enchanting finally on my main toon as I saved all the blue and purple items that I cannot use just so that I can sell Dream Shards like mad
