Question about crafting

OK, I am kind of confused here. Is tailoring a main tradeskill and skinning a secondary? The reason I am asking is because I thought we were allowed two main tradeskills and two secondary. Is this still the case?

    Tailoring and skinning are main. Skinning however, have nothing to do with tailoring. Skinning is a sort of sub-main skill, very valuable for leatherowking, another main tradeskill. Basically skinning is a processing skill and leatherworking is manufacturing skill. Tailoring doesnt have this sort of sub-main skill like leatherworking does. Tailoring requires loot-only items like Linen, wool, silk etc.

    Not totally true, some tailoring recipes require some leather, not alot mind you, but some do.  Tailoring, I have found works well with enchanting.  You make magic items with tailoring, then break for enchanting.  First aid, fisthing, and cooking are your secondary skills, you can have all three, the rest are all primary skills.

    Yeah, tailoring and skinning are main professions. I idid Tailoring up to 100 and only ran into one recipe that called for leather. I would go skinning - leatherworking. When I did tailoring I also did enchanting along with it. That was not good. You have to be way too hardcore to get any type of satisfaction out of enchanting. I don't know what I would do along with tailoring.

    Well tailoring is a main profession, and skining is a gathering profession, I wouldn't recomend skining if you are going for tailoring because you do not need that much leather, if you want another profession you should think about enchanting which is pretty good, but it is a littler bit harder then most professions.

    I've yet to get my WoW's copy(sold out at my fave's store) but from the last beta that I played, you are stuck with the profession and can't unlearn it. Not sure whether it's the primary or secondary.

    Has anyone else experienced this? Is this some kind of bug?

    You can unlearn professions.

    Here it goes:


    You can have 2 main proffesions, and the main proffesions are:

    Mining-Gathering skill
    Skinning-Gathering skill
    Herbalism-Gathering skill
    Engeneering-Production skill
    Leatherworking-Production skill
    Taloring-Production skill
    Blacksmithing-Production skill
    Alchemy-Production skill

    So you can choose 2 skills of any of the above.

    You can have 2 secondary proffesions, and those are:

    Cooking-Production skill
    First Aid-Production skill
    Enchating-Production skill

    So you can choose 2 skills of any of the above


    All in all you can have 4 proffesions. 2 main and 2 secondary. Hope it helps!


    Yeah deal with it, or else ::::15::

    Hmm Think you are off a bit on the secondaries.  They are fishing, cooking and First Aid and you can do all 3.  I'm a Journey fisherman, journeyman cook and apprentice first aid.  Enchanting is a Primary also as I understand it, but I haven't done that one.

    I got a question myself.

    If you unlearn a profession, do you lose the skill points or can you return back with as many skill points that you had when you left? I'd love to get into another gathering skill to sell and make even more money.

    I think you will lose all of you skill points in that proffesion.
    Becuase, then you can max your herbalism skill. Then unlearn it, then to learn leatherworking. Fill your skill in that, and change between them when you need somthing from the other proffesion.
    Or do the same thing in every proffesion, making you 110% self sufficient, and a MEGA money making machine. Get the idea?
    I did not try this so I'm not 100% shure.
    Please get some answers from in-game players!
