It should be mentioned that it costs 5G to get the skill. Not much in
the current economy, and I'm sure that my Tailor will make it back
(when she gets to play, grumblegrumble), but at the time it was an
almost "personal-gold-wiping" amount.

I don't *think* so, although it's entirely possible. My
Tailor/Chanter, Human Warrior, has *never* been my favorite to play,
she was made to be my Banker until I discovered she had to level up in
order to be able to advance her skills. I eventually struggled her up
to 70, but then she got mothballed, only coming out to play when we
were *seriously* hard-pressed for an OT on a Kara run or two. She went
to Northrend (*very* briefly, so far) with about 200G, most of which
she spent on getting Tailoring and Chanting to the next level. IIRC,
she was left with about 2G when she was doing the Winter Veil quests
this week.

Eventually, after the Hunter (now 73) and the Rogue (playing nothing
but BG Dailies atm), I'm sure I'll push her to 80, I even finally
spent her Wrath respec to run the Winter Veil quests, but I am *not*
looking forward to it ;-/

Understand, I *do* have fun playing her, just nowhere near as much fun
as most of my other toons.

I'd never heard of it either - a very useful bit of info! Thanks

Ah, ok. I was just thinking that 5g was such a paltry amount to grumble
over.

Just the other day, one of my guildies was complaining about having "only
250g" and I whispered my girlfriend "This would probably be a bad time to
mention that I just bought the Mekgineer's Chopper and still have nearly 7k
on hand..."

Ah, no, the grumbling was supposed to be about the fact that she's
mothballed again

I didn't keep track of how much I made and how much I spent while
leveling, so I have no idea. I know I was never short on cash though.

I started with Howling Fjord, then went to Borean Tundra, so I did
both starter zones. This put me at 75 when I hit Dragonblight. After
Dragonblight, I went to Grizzly Hills, then to Zul'Drak. I hit 80
less than halfway through Zul'Drak. So the remainder of Zul'Drak was
done at 80.

From there, I did Sholazar, Storm Peaks, and Icecrown. Each of those
zones, done at 80, gave me about 2000g each. That also includes gold
from vendoring quest rewards I couldn't use. Factor in zones like
Sholazar and all its herbs and I probably grabbed another 300-400g.

Honestly though, after 77 there weren't any big ticket items I was
after. I bought a few things from rep vendors, but nothing cost me
more than 1000g. I spent most of my earnings on infinite dust to help
level my tailoring. I'm at 441 now, and need to get to 445 so that
later, when I get exalted with Sons of Hodir, I can make the 22 slot
bag. Thats still a long way off though. I wasn't interested in any
of the expensive stuff available in Dalaran. I wouldn' purchase
anything in Dalaran until I was exalted with Kirin'Tor anyway.

Same boat here - I've got almost exactly 1M XP left until 80, and I've
completed Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, and Grizzly Hills.
Between 2 starter zones, full rested XP and a handful of instances, I'm way
ahead of the game. I'm sitting on a pile of cash at this point, although I
don't currently have any huge purchases in front of me.

I'm a skinner/herbalist on my rogue, but I haven't been profiting from
either. I'm mailing leather to a leatherworker, herbs to an alchemist, and
green drops to an enchanter so they can skill up. They've all been very
generous to me in the past, so I figure it's only fair. While I was
leveling my rogue, every now and then a full set of level appropriate
crafted leather would just sort of appear in my Inbox. I know it wasn't a
huge deal to someone who'd been at 70 for months, but it was a big deal at
the time.

My tour through northrend took me through the following zones:
70->Howling Fjord->Borean Tundra->Dragonblight->Grizzly Hills->Zul Drak (hit
80 about half way through)->Sholazar Basin->Storm Peaks (finished that last
night).

In all those zones I did *all* the quests I could find (including the
instance quests; excluding PvP quests). I have done the odd daily quest but
none on a regular basis yet.

I have the two quests for Hall of Lightning left from Storm Peaks and all
the Icecrown ones. I started out with 1000g exactly (the rest sits on my
alts) and spent a good bit on training 2 primary and 3 secondary professions
(but no money spent on levelling these, just using what I farm). That would
probably have been in the 500-700g area. Then there is cold weather flying
at 1000g. I am now at about 4800g again. I haven't sold anything at the AH
yet (sent it to alts for crafting or stockpiling myself).

This would indicate that through questing and selling of vendor
trash/unwanted rewards I have made about 4800+1000+700-1000 = 5500g and
still have a zone left to do.

I believe there is an achievment for getting 10k gold through questing and
for getting various amounts of gold from looting. The last time I checked I
was at 4700 odd /10k for quest gold and at about 400 / 1k gold from looting,
which seems to match my estimate above (the selling of trash and quest
rewards is not measured in the achievments).

In short, you should be able to easily afford the necessary training and
even some nice enchants/jewels/crafted gear.

Make sure you take some friends with you into Icecrown, the loremaster
achievement for Icecrown is unobtainable without doing a variety of 3-
and 5-man group quests. I'm stuck at 128/140 for Icecrown because of
that.

Yeah I know, talk about irony. I complain there weren't any group
quests in the Nesingwary chain, then I get to Icecrown and get locked
out of the Loremaster achievement because I can't find anyone to do
the group quests with me.

Thanks for the heads up. So far I was surprised how few group quests I
encountered. On the one hand, I think it is a shame, as they were usually
good quest chains (and I saw you comment about the lack of group quests in
the new Nesingwary chain and I shared your disappointment). On the other
hand, these group quests could be a pain by the time you took your umpteenth
alt through the zones when the rush had long been past and it could be very
hard to find groups to do them and you had to resort to badgering guildies
to help you out. From this point of view, I am glad there are fewer of those
and concentrated to one zone, so hopefully I will just need to bug my guild
mates into one or two "group cleanup sessions"

It would be, if people were grouping for the quests. That's the big
problem. I can go into Icecrown, there might be 60 other players in
the zone, but none of them will respond to requests in General for a
group to do any of the quests. I can only assume these players have
already completed the quests, or have yet to obtain them.

Perhaps if I can get some play time during more peak times, I might be
luckier with groups. My guild has all but died it seems. My
brothers, who used to play more than I do, have been busy with their
real life jobs to the point that they rarely play (one of them has
only managed to get their highest level character, a paladin, to 72).
The rest of the guild seemed to disappear just as WotLK hit. Only 3
players in the guild have hit 80, myself, my other brother who doesn't
have time to play right now, and a rogue. Of the few other players
who sign on regularly, the highest level there is 74. Not sure what
happened to everyone. Perhaps they all rolled death knights and never
bothered to ask for a guild invite.
