He is really close qnd might hit the 1000 pts later this year , really cheap right now too <| sep |> In my experience , it isn ' t worth it to level profession . Herbalism , Skinning , and Mining are all good professions to get for gold making , and you don ' t need level 800 for them . For the professions where 800 is a big deal , such as alchemy , jewelcrafting , inscription , enchanting , leatherworking , etc . , there is little room for profit . Take alchemy for example , to even get close to profit you would need rank 3 flasks , which might take 200 k gold just to get rank 3 for 1 potion . Even if you get rank 3 , the material cost of pots is greater than the cost of the potions on most servers . So the only way to benefit would be to offer your services to make potions for others and just keep some of the procs , which is a fair way to make gold , but not steady or time efficient . I can ' t speak for jewelcrafting , enchanting , or inscription , as I haven ' t used those professions enough , but I highly recommend herbalism and skinning for pure gold farming goldhour as opposed to i n s c r i p t i o n a l c h e myjewelcraftingenchanting . Maybe with inscription you could make Vantus Runes and glyphs but I don ' t think they could compare to herbalismskinning . Enchanting is similar in that you would disenchant greens or play the chaos crystal market , but as with inscription , herbalismskinning would be better for constant goldhour . Edit For jewelcrafting , I hear saber ' s eyes are very profitable but you would have to be level 800 , which would require a hefty investment .
