Don’t really like the little characters (Gnomes and Dwarves), i’m a tall guy in person so i like the tall characters… but i guess i could work with it being a Gnome, kinda sucks having that +15 to Engineering and just leaving it, reason i wanted a Human or Draenei.
FF said that Tailoring and Enchanting was good but expensive to do but i get some items for myself out of it so was thinking about them. but i’ll start with Skinning and Mining. i also begin hopfully on the 17th/18th when i get there, or however long it takes for the payment to go thru and service to activate… not to mention updating and getting some new mods… What dorm are you in so you can help me pick some Mods and help set me up? I’m in Central.
Yea, when I first started, I picked tailoring and enchanting as well, but I was poor as poor can be. The thing about tailoring is that all the good items, the epics, you can really only make them for yourself, so its kinda hard to make a profit. So what a lot of ppl do is wait until they get the patterns to the armor they want and then take up tailoring (usually dropping a gathering profession becasue they’re the easiest to level up, and profitable in the process). Really, besides that… everything other than the epic items you can make (which are BoP), you can buy the stuff pretty cheaply from the AH.
Enchanting is good mucho later in the levels and you’ll make a good asset to whatever guild you’re in. Though, again, good to start later on after you reached a decent level with money in your pocket.
As for the gnome, yea that engineering goes to waste, but you do get a 5% increase to mana. And even though you may not be into PvP, Alterac is a PvP server 
But really, what’s important is what you’re happiest with.
And, haha, yea, I’ll be moving into Kellum Hall… which is at FSU So sorry I won’t be able to help you out there.
