DPS always had to wait, so all my damage dealers had gathering professions so they had something to do while waiting in queue. Believe it or not, this lead to a hell of a lot of gold being made. Tanks and healers had crafting professions only as they had no wait time.<br /><br />I also level characters, always now, with 2 gathering profession and then switch at max level. Some characters I never got around to switching because I had everything already meaning I still have a few as double gatherers.<br /><br />Also on solo servers, where I only have 1 90, which I have a few of those. I level with both gathering professions and normally just stick with it. I learned my lesson after leveling a priest with tailoring and enchanting as its profession as a solo character on the server. I spent the entire leveling process completely broke, to the point where I could not even by my mount speed increase when I got to that point or flying once I got to that point. Admittedly once you hit max level it became easy to make money, but getting there with 2 crafting professions was hell. (this was back when you still needed different rods for enchanting and each time I got to that point it costs me thousands to get the new rods and it killed me)<br /><br />Yes you will get the fractured ones, but they will come in much lower numbers of course.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-60973921167003776782014-11-02T09:50:40.327-05:002014-11-02T09:50:40.327-05:00Hmmm why would you have a gathering profession mor...Hmmm why would you have a gathering profession more than once per realm?<br /><br />On a side note, I started to look at profession buildings without said profession in depth and holy hell this is gonna be difficult... :D In any case an additional profession building is probably better than a storehouse on my played twinks so no matter what I'll choose, it'll make sense.<br /><br />Just one thing isn't quite clear here, the way I understand it non-enchanters won't be able to make temporal crystals, but fractured temporal crystals will appearently be possible so there's still a possibility to get the crystals via work orders.Rilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-78073787568359975652014-11-02T08:58:06.187-05:002014-11-02T08:58:06.187-05:00I have a hand full of double gatherers as well tha...I have a hand full of double gatherers as well that I was thinking of doing the same thing you mentioned and dropping one of the gathering professions. Basically if you have an army of alts like I do I should have all the ore and herbs I need anyway right?<br /><br />But then the though popped into my mind. This is just one expansion. Maybe there will not be a super easy way to get ore and herbs next expansion. I would end up switching only to have to switch back again. And as we all know leveling a gathering profession is an absolute pain in the ass. I might just stick with what I have for the time being, or at least consider it.<br /><br />So far I have build in my head for all types of characters, but none for a double gathering profession character.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-26402750334246323602014-11-02T08:14:11.819-05:002014-11-02T08:14:11.819-05:00Your guides are great - really helpful! It's f...Your guides are great - really helpful! It's food for thought and we know that anything that gives our brains some work is a good thing.<br /><br />I'll admit I haven't read every post thoroughly just yet. However I've always looked at the section of what we won't be able to do without the profession, and since this always involved not being able to craft important upgrades, mounts, and above all, PETS!!!, you confirmed what I was already thinking and is pretty much common sense anyways: taking the main profession buildings just makes so much sense it's a no-brainer. <br /><br />Good call on the alchemy building. I might do just that. Even if I don't need all small flasks to craft big ones, it's still nice to have a stack of minor flasks ready for soloing and pugging. Or I might just sell them.<br /><br />I have a bunch of characters I don't plan to play outside my garrison, they'll only be my profession slaves with two crafting professions after I've done all necessary levelling and relevant achievements with them. So the storehouse will make sense for those, one because I'll need access to a (guild) bank, and two because being able to stack more work orders is just what I need to not have to log in more than 2-3 times (or will it be even less?) a week. Whereas the salvage yard, well, I won't be killing many things with those chars anyway so it's pointless.<br /><br />I won't have double gathering characters anymore. My druid used to have herbalism and mining, but I'll re-spec mining to Leatherworking or any of the profession I don't yet have. Removing mining makes sense because it used to remove the shapeshift buff anyway (as opposed to herbalism), and LW makes sense because well, I don't have it yet and druids are leather wearers.Rilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-40255388831383923892014-11-01T17:46:39.568-04:002014-11-01T17:46:39.568-04:00Well alchemy is an option, you can not make the to...Well alchemy is an option, you can not make the top potions but the lower ones are needed to make the top ones. That might be an okay idea. However doing work orders in the alchemy lab is useless as it gives you the special item needed for alchemy but without alchemy there is nothing to use them on.<br /><br />I am in the same place with my double gathering characters. Not sure what to do. But the storehouse really does seem kind of worthless. Unless it is my bank character, who spends a lot of time going back and forth to my guild bank. Outside of that I do not see much use for it when the ashran hub is just 1 minute away or a hearthstone away.<br /><br />Glad I bought up some ideas that might be able to help him.

I will be doing medium and large buildings next week for completions sake.<br /><br />@Jaeger<br /><br />Unless they decide to change it at the 11th hour, it is still working that way on beta. I hope it is intended, that would be cool for so many people and so many alts that do not have the enchanting professions for me.<br /><br />Be aware, someone can come and mine you mine and pick your herbs as well.

Even some when you do not have many profession alts.<br /><br />The more I write about it the more apparent it seems that in nearly all cases it would be best to go with the correct building to match you. <br /><br />@Jaeger<br /><br />Use 2 professions and a salvage yard as your 3 small. You can go to a friends garrsion and use their enchanters study to disenchant at. I have a post coming this weekend about the salvage yard that I am sure will convince you that is the way to go.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-13118690273588520682014-10-30T19:54:00.280-04:002014-10-30T19:54:00.280-04:00Generally, you should get the profession buildings...Generally, you should get the profession buildings to match your professions. Even more so if you have alts to cover everything. The tricky part comes into picking your 3rd small building on each character.<br /><br />For example, my main (hunter) is not an enchanter, so I'm certainly considering having the enchanting building as my 3rd so I can DE all the extra gear I get. I'm not 100% certain on this yet though.Jaegernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-53056475626354833212014-10-30T18:39:45.557-04:002014-10-30T18:39:45.557-04:00Overall do you think a player with tons of alts (a...Overall do you think a player with tons of alts (all professions) should go with their specialties for maxumum effect and efficiency?
