Multiboxing professions? Should I get all professions?

[voodoogriff]

One thing that you should have whatever you do, is Enchanting. There is always stuff to DE.

Myself i have Enchanting/JC on my main, and recently did 1-450 Alchemy on all 4 slaves. Did this mainly because of transmutes, because its a huge moneymaker. 4xtransmutes (epic gems) each 20 hour, and with transmute mastery usually atleast one slave procs, and gets an extra gem or two. Thats 5-6 epic gems each day, and if i cut them right and put them up raiding days, it's easy 700-800g a day on my server.

*gasp* I hadn't even thought of that...

Professions are worth it in my opinion. Gold is so easy to get now that I dont have to worry about selling everything that I have anymore so I can use everything I farm up for my professions.

Just on my Pally + 4x Shaman team I have:

Mining(Maxed) / Blacksmithing(448)
Tailoring(440) / Enchanting(Maxed)
Skinning(Maxed) / Leatherworking(447)
Herbalism(375) / Inscription(365)
Alchemy(115) / Jewelcrafting(15)

I finally decided to level the rest of my trade skills and should be maxed Herbalism maybe by tonight while I try and level inscription. After inscription is leveled i'll get Alchemy then Jewelcrafting up asap.

I love being self sufficient. :P

PS: Even if you don't intend on leveling your trade skills immediately just get them anyways. Even if you cannot use the patterns you will be able to bank the patterns for later once you can use them. One of my shamans already has over 40 JC patterns just sitting in the bank ready to be learned.
