leveling up professions.. worth it?

[wowphreak]

Why are yeh level 5X blacksmithing? farming thorium is a royal pain did that for engineerings.

I might do one char blacksmithing and that's my pali for the Greater Ward of Shielding and Greater Rune of Warding.

I can see doing 4 tailoring for the cloth cool downs

5 x alchemy (transmute spec)

I've gone:

Tailor / Enchanter
Skinner / Leatherworker
Herbalist / Alchemist
Miner / Jewelcrafter
Engineer / Blacksmith

I havent actually leveled my 5ths professions yet. Tailoring has been good and useful, and Enchanting is a must for any multiboxer I think. Skinning, Herbalism and Mining are also gimmes I reckon since they are so easy to level and generate cash (or raw mats for crafting professions). Alchemy is good (also a transmute specialist here) and Jewelcrafting has been decent so far. Leatherworking is a huge disappointment, as there's bugger all I can make for my Shammies that is both good and BoE.

Definitely not profitable, but I did it more for the fun / self-reliance side of it than to be strictly profitable.

ALWAYS level an enchanter in your group, up to 275 skill at least.

When you get around to "soloing" instances, there'll be so many unwanted blue drops that you could convert into Large Prismatics.

I neglected to do this on my five shamans, and now I'm faced with the pain of powerlevelling enchanting 1-275
