| [Professions] What to do on my fresh 80? I chose a Warlock as my fresh level 80 that I got from my scroll of resurrection. In the past, I have always chosen professions that work together with each other.
Examples:
I have a herbalist/inscriber at 525
I have a miner/engineer at 525
There are 3 professions I have still not leveled to 525....
Jewelcrafting, Blacksmithing, and Alchemy
I was going to make my fresh 80 a herbalist/alchemist. Then I realized I would have to farm mats to do the alchemy. If I am going to have to do that, I may as well go for Jewelcrafting and Alchemy, and farm mats with my Druid.
What have many of you done with your level 80 and professions? Any suggestions you can give me?

At level 80?
You do know I can't gather Cata herbs and mines at level 80 right? :P

So, your advice is to level herbalism and alchemy and go back through and gather the stuff that I need. That is an option thats for sure.
The other thought I had was to take alchemy and Blacksmithing, and use my druid to gather all the materials since its faster to do so.

I already have a rogue and a druid that are miner/herbalist. What good will having a level 80 warlock having miner/herbalist give me? I could see if I was going from 1-80 doing that, but starting at level 80, that just seems counter productive.

If I am going to level a profession, I would rather look at Alchemy, Blacksmithing, or Jewelcrafting. Alchemy is something I would prefer since it seems to have a lot of uses.

Anon | reply to Nightfall
If it was me I would stick with the druid to gather your items,especially if you are lvling Alch because you do not have to leave flight form to gather an herb. The only time you would have to leave flight form is when you are going to mine. But taking herbalism I think gives you an on use ability that heals you and grants haste for a short period of time(correct me if I am wrong). But if you decide to go BS you will be able to get additional sockets on your gear.
I think going Alch/JC would be best. Nothing better than cutting your own gems and making your own pots. |

This is another idea.
Take Alchemy and JC, then take my druid out to rape the landscape. Mine and herb everything in the lower areas until I can level both of these. Then, level them up with all the mats that my miner/herbalist druid can get.
At the same time, what Archivis mentions does make sense. How much sense does it take to level a profession at this stage other than a gathering profession? I mean, I could make thousands of gold just herbing and mining with my lock.

Yup, then keep all the mats and use them to level what I chose.
I think we have a winner here.

You'll find that older mats are worth more than current content mats. I wouldn't waste my time or effort gathering current content mats you can buy most for cheaper.
As far as level 85 I'd go with a Black Smith / Jewel Crafter for the sockets and gem bonuses.

Generally, at the end of an expansion's lifecycle, it's better to stock up on mats so you can take advantage of all the people who decide to powerlevel the FotM profession in the next expansion. If you do some market research, you can make some coin before MoP just selling what is in moving in the market at profit.
A bit late in the expansion to worry about crafting professions for profitability, so if you level one of those you are just doing it for the sake of doing it.

A bit late in the expansion to worry about crafting professions for profitability, so if you level one of those you are just doing it for the sake of doing it. Profitability isn't high on my list. I was more looking at usefulness in terms of stocking my guild and other toons. For example, I have a inscriber that has the ability to make my glyphs so I don't have to buy them off the AH. I can also make glyphs for my guild as well as a result.
If I leveled a alchemist for instance, they would be useful to me when it comes to making potions and flasks.

In that case, alchemy is also an important fix for a broken jewel crafting situation at max level also. JC is broken at max level... but with an alchemist who can xmute (xmute specialty proc rate is crap... so don't count on that one firing off) carnelians to inferno rubies you can make due for your toons and your guild. If you already have a miner, make old-world runs to fill up your bags with ore from copper to elementium (save all stones) and PL JC, sell the rest.

Take the 80 toon and make him a miner/herbalist. Go back through the old world and gather a ton of mats. Bank everything. Then, when I reach 85, go back and power level alchemy and Jewelcrafting with all the mats I got.
