Professions Worth it in Vanilla?

[Tyrrus 1]

Are professions really worth doing in Vanilla? I understand that the benefits aren't really worth it and I also hear that modes will be extremely hard to come by due to low spawn rates and gold farmers.

It depends how much you are expecting to get out of them. Stuff like herbalism can be really lucrative, since everyone needs consumables. Some of the crafted gear is really gear is really good, like bloodvine come ZG patch and Hide of the wild from DM. 

 

Plus, if you get a rare recipe early (not really applicable for the old servers, since there's a ton of people with every recipe) you can make a lot of money. You'll literally get strangers whispering to you since they heard you can make a rare item.

If you are looking to make some coin then go with alchemy and work on getting some end game flasks. On the PvE realm I am about to sell them fairly easy at 100-500g each.
