My Elemental LW has hit 290 now and it's given me my 2 favourite pieces of armour; Helm of Fire and Gaunlets of the Sea. I also enjoy the benefits of my volcanic leggings. These were not easy to make and the farming (both in the field and on the AH) took at least a week for each piece. I'm not sure if it's because the European economy hasn't bedded in properly yet, but Auction house prices on these items fall massively short of the time/cost of the items to make them, so making profit from my LW doesn't seem viable. Also stacks of rugged leather just aren't selling, even at a very competitive price.
I have enjoyed learning LW and elemental was the right choice for me even if just for my lovely hat.
It seems until the the European economy picks up that the main purpose of any profession is to provide me with some good armour/items/food etc to use rather than make any profit.
That being said I can't see anything else that I'll be making in the future (without any patch) that I really want or need. I'm thinking that I should retrain in mining and engineering or blacksmithing so I can make a decent blue gun or bow for myself.
I just wondered if any LW out there had any advice to help me to stick with it?? Or can I even start another profession?? What would be a good choice for me to make bows or guns?? Or even decent ammo?
As always, thanks for any opinions or help you might have
