Picking A Profession For Profit

Picking a profession may be a difficult choice for you when starting a character or power leveling a profession. For most people, they have to watch out what profession they choose because of the amount of gold it takes to level it up. That is why most people choose to pick a gathering profession and a complimentary profession to support it. If you are looking to make gold from your profession in the long run, you are best off choosing a gathering profession. However, the downside of having a gathering profession is that you cannot do anything else than gather.

Selling Your Cooldowns

I see a lot of people on the Trade channel asking to buy cooldowns for Titansteel Bars, Moonshroud and the other Tailoring cloths all the time now. For those that don’t know, “selling” a cooldown basically means another player gives you the materials to make an item and then gives you a small tip for your trouble. The going rate on my server seems to be anywhere from 10 to 25 gold for a variety of different cooldowns.

The amount of gold you’re throwing away buy selling a cooldown is pretty crazy. I can sell Titansteel Bars and all three varieties of Tailoring cloth for between 75 and 100 gold depending on the market. It seems silly to throw that opportunity out the window for a cheap 25 gold. Even I you don’t have the materials on hand, a quick run to the Auction House to buy them can probably result in a profit larger than your tip would be for giving up your cooldown.
