skinning for herbalismFollow
Currently I have skinning and leatherworking on my druid. I like leatherworking and the craftables that I can make. I am wondering if it would be viable for me to drop skinning and pick up herbalism. I could herb and use the profits from that to fund my leatherworking or should I wait until my leatherworking is 375 and then drop skinning and pick up herbalism?
MONEY-LOSER.
Instead, Drop Leatherworking and pick up Herbalism or Mining. You can buy stuff leather workers make on the AH and still get rich.

You do not want to be a leatherworker without skinning. Crafting professions are money sinks already. If you have to buy all your mats on top of that than you will be really poor very quickly. Check the BOP top end leatherworking items and make sure there is stuff there that you would like. If there is nothing that you want to craft for yourself, then you might want to consider dropping LW and pick up herbalism or mining for profit.
There are some nice bop things that I could get with lw, but the more I think about it, I don't know if I will need them. Being a tank, it will be easy to get groups for instances and get good drops even if it takes a few runs. I could level herbalism up in no time being a druid with travel form in no time.
I know crafting professions are money sinks, as I already leveled tailoring on my mage.

Take ohmikeghod's advice. When you are rich at level 70 you can always power level leatherworking if you want any of the BoP items, but you will be in a much better position to decide that then. And in the meantime, you will have all the money you need for your mounts.
I can make a good deal of gold in Moneymarsh, I mean Zangarmarsh, as a flower picker. I don't even need to do a full circuit of the zone. And my GL laughs when I say Moneymarsh, because to him its Moneygrand (Nagrand), as he is a skinner.
Good Luck with whatever you decide.

I think I am going to drop my leatherworking and pick up herb. Being Tauren will make it a little less painless to level. The low zones will be cake running around in travel form. Around what level will I start making money from it do you guys think?

around level 100 you will start getting items that sell for a bit per stack, the higher you go the more they sell, the 200-300 spot sold pretty well IIRC (I did it all 1-375 in 24 hours so it was a bit of a haze), but everyting that I picked sold on the AH and I made a few hundred gold for that 6 hours of play time.
I have powerleveled (If you can call powerleveling a gathering skill that way, its not really that fast ;_;) herbalism 2 times on the same character, and I can tell you its definitely faster than mining, and probably (unless you have ALL the money at a time) faster than some tradeskills, because of the AH-mailbox running and all the time for crafting.
Depends on servers, but on mine peacebloom,silverleaf,earthroot, and even mageroyal sells for nothing, I prefer to grab them and give them as little presents to lowbie alchemists, and they are tremendously grateful, and its nice.
But once you get stranglekelp, briarthorn and up (excepting bruiseweed... it sells WORSE than peacebloom, again, depending on server) you will be rich.
With my 34 ally druid, I can just go herbing with walrus form (hehe, walrus) to the coasts of basically anywhere except the starting zones, and in 2 hours of herbing, i will have 3-4 stacks of stranglekelp, wich sells for about 7g a stack, not bad for a level 34.
And briarthorn... oh briarthorn. With my 70 lock I still pick that up if I see some of it on the way, it just sells so well and so fast its not funny.
Once you are 70 and have herbalism in Outlands, you will laugh at people that beg for money at high levels, so much that your lungs may implode.
