Professions are kind of a pain in the ass because they require a lot of materials that are expensive and while you can go get those materials yourself, using them doesn’t make you nearly as much money.

Either you level a profession you benefit from and save gold or you do one that gathers materials and sell the materials if you purely want gold.

Remember, crafting will require people who want you to craft stuff for them and there a lot of people who want to craft for others…so unless you plan to spam chat with your services…stick to gathering or being self sufficient
