tailoring + skinning?

[HellflameZ]

hi all! :D

My friend and i have deciced to play warlock and mage, i being the warlock and he being the mage. But when it came to proffesions he had a sugestion: we split between the "tailored ones" he going with herbalism and alchymist, and me going with tailoring and enchanting. But back in our Anarchy Online days, he was a member of a guild called Ancarim Iron Legion, and he still is, and by that he can get all his high level friends to fetch him some nice stuff, so he suggested that he took enchanting and tailoring instead. But i reeally want tailoring too, so here´s my question:

will skinning go well with tailoring??

cause i cant really afford enchanting anyways :p

My Priest is a Tailor / Leatherworker.

You will find some recipe's require some leather (bags etc) so that can be helpful, however in most cases you won't need all the leather you get. Skinning would have to be one of the easiest tradeskills out there as there are just so many skinnable corpses. Not always in every zone, but last night in Badlands I had to keep sending the stacks off as I was just getting SO much.

If you play on having an alt that does Leatherworking, or if you have a really close friend you want to help keep stocked then definitely go for it, they will really love you forever. Of course you can always sell on the AH, at lower level's Light, Medium and even in some cases Heavy Leather doesn't sell so well, but Rugged does, and the specially things like scorpid scales and tutle scales sell well as they only come off specific mobs, and Leatherworkes want them.

Well I can only say from my fresh experience. But I find Skinning to compliment Tailoring nicely. Besides being able to help out friends with leather, it sells decently in stacks.

I started out Engineering / Mining, found it boring. Went to Tailoring / Mining to try and sell bars for profit. Which worked out well, till I saw that I require some leather in my tailoring goods. Not one to nag my fellow players/friends for leather goods constantly, I just took up skinning for myself.

Short answer: I like Skinning / Tailoring.

Tailoring/Skinning is the way to go without a doubt. You have made a great choice. Good luck.

My warlock Tailors/Mines. I would have kept mining Leather is usually very affordable at the AH, easy enough to buy with profits from minerals sold at the AH. Came in real handy for me last night, I needed Patterned Bronze Bracers for a quest. Searched the AH, no luck. Put in a request on the guild channel and there was a blacksmith on that could make them but didn't have the materials. Cool, I had the mats and he made them for me I like getting the gems from mining too, makes me feel rich ;) Got 2 Aquamarines last night from a couple of mithril veins and a Black Vitreol (Sp?). Anyway, I don't know that there are any bad professions.

I have tailoring and skinning maxed out... and I love both of these professions.

Skinning complements tailoring's requirements for a couple bag recipes and makes some extra cash.

Tailoring is more for fun, and doesn't generate that much extra cash.
