For WoW players! (Poll inside!)

Engineering is awesome, no idea what it's like nowadays but when I played it was definitely my favorite of those three

Engineering is funny. And it's mostly for PvP (well it was about 2 years ago). For selling I'd reccomend you to mine low level reagents.

If youre after profit, out of those choices, Id go jewelcrafting. After I made my gear and upgraded it on my BS toon, wasnt much profit to be made since the gear you can craft didnt sell very well for me and the upgrade/reroll tokens dont go for very much on my realm. Selling gems has been working out much better for me (though I still get most of my profit from enchanting).

Unless you are really attached to mining, you could always drop it. Right now, the garrison provides an obnoxious amount of ore. Ive had no problems keeping my BS/Eng toon well-stocked with just the mine.

Professions are very homogenized these days, they all have some main ingredient with a cooldown or something, and offer very similar rewards. Engineering is tons of fun in pugged PvP though, I've been saved more than once by the Nitro Boost and the Glider.

"Bros"? Not a particularly nice way to begin a topic, seeing as not everyone here is a "bro". But, anyway... I'd personally go with jewelcrafting. Since I remember gems being expensive, you'd be saving money by creating your own, and probably make a decent profit from selling.

Damn, can't you just play it right (like me) and just kill everything you can kill? Honestly, I never picked up any profession but I voted for engineering because making boom is closest to destruction and destruction is closest to killing everything.

Jewel crafting is your best bet. Even low lvl gems sell well so you should be good regardless of when you buy the expac.

If you want anything but gold from profs the go with w/e you like. No point in min/maxing profs since the gain is negligible for the most part (if you were doing Mythic than it would be a different story).

Engineering if this is the main character you will be playing out in the world the most. Engineering makes the game more fun, and there's many useful perks. Jewelcrafting is a good way to make money, but you'll eventually end up with less played alts who can take up this profession. You also get plenty of gold, selling unused mats. Mats are usually worth more than anything you will 'craft'.

Haven't played in over 2 years. but if you don't want BS, go for Eng.
JC is best to make money...

Ugh, Blacksmithing. I always found it so boring to level it up :/
Regarding the poll, I'd probably go with Jewelcrafting.

why not go for tailoring or skining? when i played those were that ones that gave more money with the least effort!

I quit early this year but JC was the most profitable, people always needed gems and for each new piece of gear they need more gems.

Always had Engineering on my main and it always gave an edge to combat. The rocket boots (or whatever the thing with speed boost was) could be great for a warrior, though not always guaranteed to work, I think there was also the extra shield bubble which might be nice when you're prot.

Your right about blacksmithing only being good at the beginning of an expansion and for a very short time but also only if you're willing to work for it. I remember someone trying to sell me gear and I was thinking "fuck no" because I would be getting better in no time at all from LFR....

So....
JC for money.
Engineering for fun.
BS for torturing yourself.
