http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2008/11/danielw_newbiedkprofessions01.jpgI admit, I'm not, which is new. When BC came along, while I leveled to 70, I always stopped to mine the Fel Iron nodes. Even on my initial tramp from 1-60 on my characters, I usually stop every few levels to make sure their chosen tradeskill (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/12/professional-wrath-round-up/) is up to date. But this time, on my Death Knight, I'm not stopping for a thing.
It's a weird feeling. I'm conscientious about making sure my characters are well-rounded, making sure they have the skills to pay the bills, so to speak, first aid and cooking in addition to a set of well maintained trade skills, but on my Death Knight, I just can't bring myself to let up on the questing and grinding for professions, even if it means leaving piles of dead, unskinned Bog Lords (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19402) in my wake.
Admittedly, this may have something to do with the fact that his trade skills start at level 1 while he's level 55. In the end, I'd rather level in Hellfire Peninsula instead of picking daisies (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2447) in Elwynn. Can you blame me? Still, I promise at level 80 that I will make time to level up his Inscription.
While I have asked about this before (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/08/20/breakfast-topic-professions-and-leveling/), I thought I'd see if the responses were any different now that Wrath is underway. Are you taking breaks on the road to 80 to level your tradeskills? Why or why not? http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Breakfast Topic: Are you leveling your Professions?
