Mining isn't great to level up. You'll probably find that you have to
go out to specifically level it up in order to be able to mine where
you are questing.

Blacksmithing is awful in me experience. You need a lot of ore in
later levels to make things that level up. By later levels I am
talking character level 50s, not 60s and above as I haven't got that
far.

You should have seen far more than that. Most of your low level quest
rewards that you can't use or no longer need should only need level
one enchanting skill to disenchant. You don't say what level you are
or how much money you have but you could look on the auction house for
very low level green items to disenchant to catch up. They should
only cost a few silvers each at the most.

I'm not sure what you mean here but all characters that transfer
servers a left without a guild and have to find one again.

You can always sell it to a vendor. The reason for creating shot is
to level up. Generally, crafting professions cost money to level up
(that cost could be the actual cost of buying the materials or the
theoretical cost of losing the money you could gain by selling those
materials you have gathered). You will need to make a lot of items
that you cannot use or sell in order to level the skill up.

Personally, I think you're a troll. But just in case I'm wrong, please
please go read this website and take in as much as you can (you seem
to have enough time):

http://www.wowwiki.com

It will answer many of your questions and help you understand why some
of your questions seem like trolling.

I'm confused a bit. You mentioned that you were mining/blacksmithing,
but shot crafting is done by engineering. Do you have a second toon
here?

I tend to agree with Mark, but in the event that that is not the
case . . .

As a Paladin I would seriously research the items you can make at the
higher levels. My Paladin levelled as Prot, and as he didn't run
instances, he actually used a lot of the stuff he made with BSing.
Even did the long and tedious Armorsmith questline, being ignorant and
thinking that the epic armor you could make were tank items.

Now's he's Holy and BSing offers very little for Holy; some bracers, I
think. He's been stuck at lvl 368 forever, with little desire to
advance it more. If you go Retribution, however, you can make items
like Deep Thunder and Stormherald with a Stun Target proc. I've been
considering trying Ret, so may try to make one of these bad boys.

As a hybrid, I find it difficult to choose things like professions
(something might be good for one spec, but not another), or factions
(how am I supposed to know what shoulder inscriptions I want when I
can be a healer, a tank, and DPS all in one week).

In the end, I wish I'd choosen Enchanting for him.

Okay, the first thing you need to know about skilling up an occupation is to
understand the colors for the various [ore, herb, skinning,
recipes/abilities].

An herb or miniing node or dead beast that has a red label means that you
either don't have the necessary skill (a miner can't pick herbs, for
instance), or your skill isn't high enough to gather that particular item.
( Example: If your mining is at 50, you won't be able to mine iron.)

An orange label means you can gather the item, it will give you a skill
point, but it might take repeated tries.
A yellow label means you can gather the item, and it will *probably* give
you a skill point, but it might not.
A green label means it's possible you'll get a skill point, but not likely.
A grey label means you'll never get a skill point.

I have a miner, but no blacksmith, and I play Alliance, so far. Dun Morogh
has tons of copper ore nodes, as does the Elwynn Forest, to get you over
that first hump.

Level one drops are reasonably common, but you have to be questing/killing
mobs (a "mob" is a single beast/humanoid/demon, etc.) in lower level areas.
If you're level 38 and questing in a L38 area, you won't get green drops you
can DE (disenchant) with a skill level of 1 in enchanting. You'd have to
travel back to one of the earlier areas and kill lots of mobs that give you
no xp (experience points) to get items you can DE for skill points. If you
have enough money, you can buy low level greens from the AH (auction house)
to DE.

For the skill points.

Questions for you: Do you use the Auction House? If you don't, you should
start. You can sell stacks of ore/bars for a much higher price than you can
vendor them. You can buy very low level green items (armor, weapons, rings,
wands, trinkets) for just a few silvers to skill up your enchanting.

I have no idea what "nebbish" is, but I get the vague idea

Ideally your tradeskill levels should be about 5 times your character's
level. So at level 20 you should be around level 100 in blacksmithing &
mining, if you want to progress easily.


> 2. how common are the level one disenchant objects? I have seen

I don't know what you mean by "level one disenchant objects".
Do you mean items that are level 1 greens? I don't think I've ever seen
those.
Do you mean items that you can disenchant when your enchanting skill is
level 1?

> 3. are the characters that transfer to kalimor dropped from guilds?

Again, I don't understand what you mean by "transfer to kalimdor" - you
mean you get dropped from a guild when you travel from one continent
to another?
If you were in a guild but are not in one now it's either because you
left it yourself (/gquit), or because an officer of the guild kicked you out.

To level up your engineering skill?

Not sure how much cash you got...

but i purchased a stack of ore to help level up my mining........ not
the cheapest way to do it..... but i should get back some of my
investment....

Gun-using hunters will probably be very interested in purchasing the
2nd-worst kind of crafted shot, the one that (IIRC) requires Coarse
Stone to make, even if they are Engineers themselves, simply because
Coarse Stone is somewhat expensive to get.

I disagree. Many professions are useful for many specs, such as
alchemy, jewelcrafting and enchanting. The differences between
shoulder enchants don't matter if you get exalted with Aldor/Scryers.
Then the stats are just weighted a bit differently.

He more or less has to, since he was asking a couple weeks ago about a
mid-30s level 'Lock in Desolace

yes I have a level of 4 and need something I can build up my
disenchant. I have not seen any other stuff I could disenchant.

I have all my characters looking for low level greens to disenchant.
I dont have enough money to go buy at AH, I only have 1 gold or so
for each character.

most of my characters are between 15 and 30

I have traveled to kalimdor and have a mage and a paladin in dark shore.

ok so both of my characters have dropped out of a guild because
someone else kicked us out. I did not /gquit ( I dont know enough to do
that.)

ok so I can create it, and then destroy it. no problem if that is
what I should be doing. The other question is could I give or sell it
to another character that needs or wants shot? It is not a problem just
wondering if I could give it to some low level gun type. I had some 10
sets of shot that I just destroyed.

I have my paladin send ingots to my warlock and my mage. she finds
copper and gathers it and smelts it. sometimes she makes stuff but she
also trades with the other two characters so they can level up engineering.

no -- the question was why create shot that says "no sell price" I
understand it is just for the juice. but if I cant find any place to
pass it on I WILL just destroy it.

I have several low level chars some have professions and some do not. I
have my warlock and mage are engineers. the paladin is a miner and a
blacksmith. but my ORC is a miner and my druid is not. the biggest
problem I have is understanding how to level up the enchanting. so I
have all my characters (level 15 to level 30) looking for low level
greens and I just have not seen any suitable greens.
