lock - mage profs

[Nonserviam 0]

hello guys i am playing on darrowshire, pve realm, i got a lock around 40 and i am leveling tailoring. i am thinking that i'd use a gathering proffesion too for profit, either herbalism or mining. what is more profitable? what is easier/harder - worth more to have? is one of 'em going to help me farm mats for the epic mount?

i am also going to level a mage as an alt and i was thinking which profs i'd pick. will i need tailoring on the mage, like i am going to craft a bop bis item at 60 or use 300 tailoring on bloodvine set or something like that or i can just use my lock's tailoring to gear my mage? if it's tailoring is not going to be useful, is alchemy any useful / profitable or i'd just go for two gathering proffesions? 

tyvm for your help and your time

Hi

 

Tailoring is useful at 300 for the setbonus of the Bloodvine Set (+2% crit), but other than that, it's not really amazing. You definitely don't need two of them. It's handy being able to sell off Mooncloth CD's, but there's no need for two.

When it comes to gathering professions, herbalism > mining for sure.

If you pvp (on mage for instance), then get engineering for gadgets and bombs - it helps a lot.

Definitely herbalism is better than mining. Reason is quite simple. Flasks and Elixirs. At 60, there's not much demand for ores to craft items, so your main market is people leveling alts. But 60s with cash to spare are gonna want consumables and the the flask and elixir market has a high demand for herbs.

As for tailoring, only reason is the pre-raid BiS BoP craftables. And after a bit of raiding, those crafted items will be replaced.
