Lessons Learned - Getting to Mid 30's

[Mercbeast]

I actually would highly recommend that you be open to surfing the AH for weapons. At certain points during my leveling adventure, I bought blue weapons for my team, and it made an enormous difference to my leveling speed, for relatively minor cost. 1.5g might seem like a lot in your 30's for a 20% increase in your wand or melee weapon, but that can speed things up enormously, and makes virtually no difference to your level 60 bottom line.

Agreed on the general strategy, OP.

Oh, it's definitely a time-sink, but I've been keeping my leatherworker, enchanter, and tailors up at level and it has helped with things like bags, shoulders, wands, etc. Not critical by any means but it does fill in the occasional gear gap while leveling. And just selling crafted items has definitely increased my bank account on two of the toons to double the others in spite of purchasing craft skills.

Yea, I made probably close to 200 gold selling mageweave bags, the price of MW was so low on my server that my TSM minimum prices wouldn't even list it, so I just converted it all into bolts and sold bags at about 1.5-1.2gold for a week or so.
