three point two :: Power Level Blacksmithing - Gathering Materials

In a sudden change of heart, I decided against max leveling my priest to get blacksmithing maxed and grind for the Molten Front recipes. Why not make it easier on myself? Just have my 85 warrior drop the unused enchanting for it instead. He also already started the daily grind, and it's much more simple to do them on a toon that already have decent gear to breeze through the quests. To remedy the change, I plan to have my priest pick up alchemy for another cooldown. I will keep her enchanting for now until she hits 75. Then I will decide if I want to grind her to level 85.

Because AH sales has been slow recently, and I'm down more money than I care to admit, I plan to mine everything on the rogue. While at it, it will help my small humble guild hit the mining guild achievement. Two birds with one stone. In addition, I can catch up on all the Asian dramas I've been missing out on. Make that three birds with one stone!


Going to follow the ever-so-useful guides available from wow-professions. Love that site. Been using it to max professions since last year. Taking stock of what mats to farm, then start on the farming process, baring cheaper low level mats. Most likely I will have lots of mats left over to sell for small profit. (I hope)
