You hit the nail on the head there, instances and making quests easier about the only things I know of, since you solo most of this game.



Well you have to buy spells/abilities and armor depending on your job/skills. But making money is pretty easy in this game anyways so don't be surprised to be seeing higher numbers soon.



AH is usefull when you need to buy a new weapon or armor. Also for tradeskill items sometimes like gems and such. Also anything you sell over the AH retains that "Mad by ___" tag on it so people may send you tells asking you to make them stuff.
Finally, if you get a "green" or higher item you don't need, try to AH it once or twice, someone else could probably use it and you would be helping others in the process. Besides that, if the item doesn't sell, your only loosing a silver or so from the fee to put it up vs the NPC price while you could sell something for 10x or MORE the NPC price sometimes. Its all about how risky you want to be since its kinda like gambling.



Besides the AH, no. However I WAS having that same problem and I have a nice little tip, stockpile. It helps if you just spend a little getting the leathers but not processing them into anything.



This isn't always the case, well at least for me as a hunter. As a Druid I don't know, since IMO leather is keyed towards Rouge and Hunters with most pieces offering AGI boosts.



Your only allowed to have 2 main skills, if you read the bubble thing when you took your first you would read that. Secondary proffessions are cooking, fishing, first aid. As for money, like I said you always will for spells and things.



Probably not at all, this is, at first, an easy game. Later it starts getting harder with the "Elite" quests and all. Most exp from this game is quests and killing mobs to complete quests. Again, as for the money, spells and abilities. You can spend over a 1g for spells as soon as level 26 or so... Probably sooner.



You'll know its time to upgrade when your spells start doing less, your taking more damage then usual, any number of things. Personally I strive to have the best gear with stat boosts I can, but some people don't. I also tend to make 90% of my gear, only buying occassional things from merchants or the AH such as weapons.



Not that I know, besides new spells and all.

The biggest party situation I was in so far has been one instance, wouldn't have been possible without a party. Past that I've been in some small 2 - 3 man parties that we used to just blow through quests as fast as possible.

While you do take an XP hit when in a party, I noticed that the instance we went though we were getting around the normal solo xp when fighting the elite mobs, so xp still added up rather quickly, not to mention the two or three quests that were completed by doing it.

If you remove the leathercrafting skill (or any skill for that matter), you will lose all of your to date earned leatherworking lvl and all recipes. You will automatically start at zero if you decide to pick it back up at a future date.

My friend who leathercrafts is always making money with leather, maybe you should farm some cats and bears for awhile to build up your stash of leather?

Keep in mind that you're also most likely to tear through mobs quicker with help, so the XP sort of evens itself out. I would like to have some sort of number detail for this.: XP per hour or something, then compare the numbers for grouping as opposed to soloing. I wonder if they wouldn't be pretty close. I also didn't notice much of an XP loss if you're grouped with 1-2 people very close (within 1) or exactly your level.
