The primary professions i have taken up are Engineering and Mining.
Engineering because i have never leveled it past about level 50, and it will add to my overall account wide achievement of "Master of All" - raising all professions to maximum skill level.
It doesn't particularly appeal to me as a 'fun' profession, but it has to be done.
Mining because it supplements the Engineering profession. Out of all the gathering professions i like Mining the most. I'm not sure why, but the chance of getting an uncommon gem adds to the appeal.
The secondary professions i have taken up are Cooking, Fishing and First Aid
I have maxed these three on older characters before, but for the sake of this blog and something else to do, i have taken these up again. Its going to be hard paying attention to these professions, as i am going to be low on cash and will have to farm the majority of mats needed. I'm hoping this is something i can stick to.
I am currently level 7, and instead of questing in Eversong Woods up until level 10, i will level my mining instead. This should give me enough mats to kick start my Engineering profession, and get my mining up high enough to move on to the next zone.
