Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I'm really thinking about taking up Tailoring. I was going to do Skinning/Herbing, but just looking at Tailoring. For example, Robe of Power. Available at level 33 and completely beats Doan's Robes.

I guess I'm just looking for some input, how have your tradeskill profs been leveling them at lower levels? :]

I've been doing Tailoring/Enchanting as I level on my mage, and I have been consistently able to make gear for a higher level than my character is, that is to say my Tailoring is a higher level than my character. However on my Paladin, I found it extremely difficult to keep my Herbalism/Alchemy up, so I waited til I got my mount at 40 to work on those. Anything that is dependent on mining/herbalism while leveling is going to be a massive pain and is probably worth it to wait until you get a mount to work on them. Skinning/Leatherworking and Tailoring/Enchanting are fairly easy to do while leveling, and is recommended to do while leveling. Enchanting and Tailoring become a massive pain to start leveling at higher levels since you will have to pay for materials or will have to grind for them.

if you are a pve'er go tailoring /enchanting. If you plan on mainly pvping go engineering.

Thanks for that post Dreary! I've always stayed away from Enchanting just because all I've heard was "Enchanting is so expensive to level" and with two tradeskill profs and not a gathering one, I fear I won't have any money :/.. But what you're saying makes me want to at least give it a go!

I leveled fishing on my first toon and tailor/ench on second. The first toon keeps the second one pretty well stocked with cloth from fishing and random cloth/gear to D/E from throughout the world. Has made leveling tailor/ench super easy so far.

First toon the traditional: alch/herb

If you have access to a source of cloth, then Tailoring is a good choice. Many of the things you craft can be DE'd or sold on the AH. Might find something useful to wear too, especially if you're a cloth-wearer already.

Bags + gear. Worth it?

Super worth it.
