Personally I have been saying a...I am really torn.<br /><br />Personally I have been saying alchemy and enchanting for as long as I can remember as what would be the best.<br /><br />But...<br /><br />Being if you build the enchanters study you can disenchant, it is not all that needed any longer. Just hold on to stuff until you get back to your garrison. And, if you are in a group, even if there is no enchanter present, you have the disenchant option. Unless that is a bug, the need for enchanting is greatly reduced.<br /><br />As far as alchemy. They no longer get double time flasks and there does not seem to be any transmute now. So I don't really see the benefit of having it any longer.<br /><br />Now, with all that said, I still think those 2 might be decent ideas. Why?<br /><br />Because these changes to professions are bound to go over like a lead balloon and won't float with the player base and they might go back to the way things were.<br /><br />However, if you do not mind switching professions on the fly I would actually suggest skinning.<br /><br />Being there is no way to collect skins in your garrison, and animals drop cloth this expansion, going out to kill and skin to collect leather and cloth might be the last thing worth having, at least at the moment with how things stand.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-35888420264412105322014-08-29T19:40:26.469-04:002014-08-29T19:40:26.469-04:00With all those changes to garrisons and the abunda...With all those changes to garrisons and the abundance of primary materials, do you still believe Alchemy and Enchanting are the best professions to boost for a returning player with no alts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-70960864761893022162014-08-27T09:10:34.909-04:002014-08-27T09:10:34.909-04:00I came across a few but that is besides the point....I came across a few but that is besides the point. Most of the content is one shot content, do it and done.<br /><br />Also, it should be noted the rares that are not one time rares are hard. As in some have more health than the world bosses. So it is not like someone can just run around for fun killing rares. Unless you can kill world bosses solo you have a snowballs chance in hell of killing one of those rares.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-28103933675754652942014-08-27T07:50:09.502-04:002014-08-27T07:50:09.502-04:00Not all rares are one time only, most are, but som...Not all rares are one time only, most are, but some aren't.

This expansion seems to be more about being out of the world than into it.<br /><br />Not only that but the events that pop up are one time only events, unlike the timeless island where you can do them over and over.<br /><br />The quest events are one time only, so it is not like it is worth going out and looking for them once you have finished them because there will not be any more.<br /><br />The rare mobs are one time only rare mobs. Once you kill them and they are not longer marked as rare for you and give you nothing special which means there is no incentive to kill them again.<br /><br />With being able to get everything you need in your garrisons like herbs, ore, leather, fish, there is really little if any reason to go out in the world.<br /><br />Depending on the buildings you choose you can even get an auction house in your garrison, which again means less reason to head out.<br /><br />Blizzards design does not make a great deal of sense if you ask me. After all the pushing to get us out in the world they create an expansion that seems as if it is giving us a reason not to go out in the world.<br /><br />@ Troutmonkey<br /><br />I thought the same thing. I can see right outside the garrison entrance becoming a place people hang out. So shadowmoon and frostfire general chat would become the new trade chat.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-85571846043265478022014-08-26T18:05:58.162-04:002014-08-26T18:05:58.162-04:00I've had that thought as well. People are just...I've had that thought as well. People are just gonna hang in their garrisons. They even force you to go back to your garrison to reset follower missions. So, it pays to not get too far away from them.<br /><br />Something that would be interesting though. What if right outside the phased gates of the garrison becomes like the gates of org. Players just hanging out and dueling right there. That would be kinda cool. Pop into your garrison as needed. Walk outside the gates and hang with the rest of your realm's faction.Troutmonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01862533672429720139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-40545464058230914032014-08-26T17:59:02.354-04:002014-08-26T17:59:02.354-04:00ok, so after all the screaming and foot smashing B...ok, so after all the screaming and foot smashing Blizzard has done with MoP to get everyone out of a city to explore the wilderness, they are re-thinking and giving us these fortresses of solitute knowing that us players want to be by ourselves? something stinks here in the design thinking of Wabbits of Death.-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-55635930815088227492014-08-26T17:56:56.047-04:002014-08-26T17:56:56.047-04:00only those that scream truly knows that being a hu...only those that scream truly knows that being a hunter is most righteousness.<br /><br />-roo-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-39493215026125544192014-08-26T15:38:19.784-04:002014-08-26T15:38:19.784-04:00I don't think they will because people would s...I don't think they will because people would scream favoritism.
