Trade skills always a bugger to level. On my 'new' main I did herbalism and skinning. Make a lot of money on the server I'm on. Always other people with recipes u need and levelled higher who can make/enchant what u need. Cant say I miss having a trade skill. My old main did Enchanting, I just send him all the BOE greens to DE and I sell the mats on the AH. Impressive how much a stack of Arcane dust goes for now.
