A New Career

In the beginning, I got both mining and herbalism as professions, as the collecting professions can make a quick buck on the auction house. However, I managed to build up a nest egg pretty quickly, and I can tell that in the future I'm going to need a few more tricks up my sleeve to get by.

Thus, I've abandoned herbalism and picked up engineering. I'm particularly interested in target dummies, as my war stomp sometimes doesn't quite get me the time I need when there's a mob near a gatherable. Plus eventually you get stun bombs, and that telescope will be nice for scoping out an area before forging in (I found myself longing for my shaman's far sight on several gathering occasions).

Plus, I've found in the past that having a gathering profession to fuel another crafting profession makes both tasks far more enjoyable than having both of one kind. It makes it fun to go out and gather, which is a lot of what I'll be doing, so I'd best make it enjoyable!
