>>493531530>>493532791here's my retard-proof guide because fuck that rat race:
FIRST OF ALL, PICK ONLY ONE CRAFTING PROFESSION PER CHARACTER BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE TO FORGET YOUR SECOND PROFESSION LIKE TWICE PER WEEK
1.choose a race for your alt that has an innate bonus towards the profession you want to focus on so you will have +5 extra skill (every race should be able to craft max rank with the blue tools and max KP investment but with +5 skill you'll need two instead of three)
2. do the acuity shuffle which consists of leveling a profession to 25, doing the first crafts that you learn by using knowledge points (enchanting is very good for this) and crafting ALL the patron orders you get, then you unlearn it, you pick up another one, rinse and repeat until you do all of them (or at least until you get enough acuity for all the knowledge books of your main profession + 3 blue tools)
3. get the craftsim addon, toggle "specialization calculation" on while checking a specific craft you want to sell, dump ALL your knowledge points that give more skill to that craft into the relevant talents (as shown by the specialization calculation window), then activate "Simulation Mode" and check how many skill points you need for r3/5 crafts without concentration with r3 reagents
4. get a chat addon that tells you when someone says LF (whatever stupid shit you are crafting) in trade chat so you can DM them and one to block the spam of the other faggots linking professions 24/7, there's people asking for r5 shit 24/7 and if you DM them first that's an easy 10k per craft
you also need to farm KP weekly by opening treasures/digging wax + treatises + the weekly quests + crafting patron orders that give KP but if haven't figured that out by now it's over for you (you also have to do the darkmoon quests)
if you just want easy gold, give skinning to all of your alts, max trained tracker and summon slatefang daily, you'll get a fang that's worth 5k per character that does this
