Some newbie questionsFollow

After becoming quite frustrated with the endless grinding of FFXI I've decided to get WoW instead. However, there are a few things I'm wondering:

1. Can you max out both of the Trade skills you choose?

2.a) Can you enchant an item multiple times?
2.b) If so, can you use the same enchantment again?

3.a) How common are the harvest/mining points?
3.b) Are they crowded/camped?

4. Do you have to be of any certain level to reach highier in the trade skill (e.g. could a lvl 1 carachter max out a trade skill?)

Thanks for any answers!

EDIT: Added Q 4

1) Yes
2) No
3) fairly common, your minimap will get a dot on it when one is near. Once you take the item, the point disappears and no one else can loot it until it comes back a few hours (or whatever) later. It doesn't seem useful to camp one IMO, too many out there. Maybe at higher levels?
4) Yes, I think you need like lvl 30 to be an artisan? Not real sure of the levels, but I am pretty sure there is a level requirement for it.

1) Yes, you can max out both professions. In addition you can also max out fishing, cooking and first aid if you so choose.

2a) You can do so if you are only trying to raise your skill. But you cannot have two items added to the same piece of gear. When you add the new item it overwrites the old one. For example, if a player has an armor patch on a piece of armor and then has it enchanted, the enchantment will replace the armor patch. But the game asks you if you want to do this before doing so.

2b) See 2a above.

3a) It depends on your profession. For skinning your resources are extremely common. For herbalism it can be fairly common, depending on the zone you’re in and if you are trying to find a specific type of herb. For mining they’re less common, but you can find them if you run around rocky areas.

3b) Again, it depends on what you’re doing. Skinning isn’t a problem. Herbalism and mining, it just depends on who sees the dot appear on their mini map and gets to it first. Mineral nodes that appear in caves can be a bit more competitive, but the same still applies.

4) It depends on what profession. Gathering professions do not have a character level restriction. But by their very nature they don’t really need one. Its unlikely a level 10 character would survive long enough to gather herbs in a level 60 zone even if he had 300 herbalism. Production professions, such as blacksmithing and alchemy, do have restrictions. Apprentice requires level 5, Journeyman level 10, Expert level 20 and Artisan requires level 35.
