skills/profs questions...

[xagros]

First off is it BAD to learn EVERY skill the trainers have to offer? Is there a reason other then spending my money that I SHOULDN'T learn every thing a trainer has to offer?

BTW i am a horde druid. At first I thought I would only pick the ones I intended to use and not train the others, but now I find myself at lvl 10 with not much... I have money like 15silver and some bronze. I have the best armor for right now I could buy and a fairly decent staff.. What you guys think? Train for all or just some?


Also while on the subject, would a mace be better then staff class weapons for my druid? I know they are faster.

Profs, which is best to learn or study for a druid? What are the purposes exactly? I am 100% new to this game and know VERY little... OH yeah and how many profs can I learn? 2? I thought i read that somewhere...

Thx in advance!

No, learning all the skills you can are never a bad thing. All that may come in your way of doing that is your economy.

Yes and no...
Staffs usually have better DPS and stat bonuses, but you can't use a shield with them.

You can learn 2 professions, and also all the secondary professions)Cooking, Fishing & First Aid).
Which skills work best for you depend on your goals.

If you want to make money fast I suggest you get either Herbalism + Skinning or get Mining + Skinning, and sell the things you gather at the AuctionHouse (AH).
The reason is that all of these professions are used to gather material you can sell, and cost you nothing. Herbalism and Mining both use a "radar" to locate herbs and metal, but you can't have both on at the same time. That's why you should select only one of them together with Skinning that DON'T use a radar.

If you want other combos these are all good:
- Leatherworking + Skinning
- Alchemy + Herbalism
- Jewelcrafting + Mining (only if you own The Burning Crusade)
- Enchanting + gather skill (Herb, Mine or Skin)

perfect you answered everything I wanted to know. THANKS! I think I will go back to the trainers and pick up some more skills. I will just have to make sure I have the money to do so.
