I have 2 teams (both team have the pally).
Team 1 with 4 shams. All 4 have enchanting and alchemy. I picked enchanting so i can get the ring enchantments (i know that it doesn't add that much damage, but want the best damage i can do). I picked alchemy cause i didn't think that there where any good professions out there (i know leather work has some good mail but i have one leather and to get anything past 350 is a pain). With alchemy i can make primal waters from primal earth. The earths go for about 5g and the waters sell for 29.5g within seconds (i made the stupid idea of making them 30g last night cause everyone else had them at 32g and as soon as i put them up someone posted 8 primals at 29.9g so i will probably eat those primals cause everyone posts for 30g). so i make away with 23g per toon per day (i have 6 alchemy so i get 138g a day for nothing). It only cost me probably a little less then 2k to get all 5 of them to 350 alchemy (which is the lvl that you need to make the primals, making the primals will easily get you to 375)

On my pally i have alchemy and herb. I know i should have gone bs with pally, but heard that lvling that is a pain and is not cheap. I also wanted herb over mining because there are not too many quests that have you mine, put alot of quests that have you herb (like get so many flowers and such), and having herb on you can see the quests items you need to pick. I have my pally as my main.

On team 2, 3 locks and a priest. I have enchanting on 2 locks and the priest. The reason not on all 3 is because the other lock is lvl 70 and had alchemy and herb max lvl, i didn't want to lose 23g a day for the primals so i kept alchemy. The other skill that they have are tailoring (i got it on the 70 too, dropped herb). The reason is that tailoring is a joke to lvl (plus it feeds enchanting), but there is a really nice spell set at 70.


I power lvled my alchemy and herb (i know you can by your herb to lvl herb, but i had a lvl 60 mount to pick up the lvl 1 herbs so sort of power lvling). If you don't mind spending the money to buy the mats then i would say go power lvling the items it will save you time collecting. If you are doing a gathering then i would say get it early so when you are lvling the herbs/mines that you need are in the same zone as you. Just bank the items for use for later.
