A couple of days ago I decided to change one of the professions of my rogue alt (which used to be my main, btw, I’ve never really had a chance to equip him so he’s mostly in blues, hehe). Before he was 300 gnome engineering and 300 Miner, switched mining for herbalism. This is because my brother’s main is 300 Miner already, so I could get some kind of advantage of having a high level character that can pick herbs (and being a rogue gives me an edge somehow, he also has an epic mount). Anyway, I found this and thought that keeping engineering might be a good idea (for the expansion).
Talking about that, I might have to level my gnome warlock (Rihal) from 36 to 60 so he can keep making pots for me when The Burning Crusade comes. This is because you no longer will be able to learn high level stuff on low level characters (or so I read somewhere). I also got a lowbie tailoring gnome mage (Conjurus), but he’s not that high on skill for now (at least compared to my warlock, which is making me some nice pots). It only took me around two or three days to level my alt rogue into 300 herbalism, by the way.
2 more days…
What are you saying here? If you have a lowbie with low skillz, you won’t be able to increase them after the expansion without starting a new alt? My searching at work prohibits me from searching the official forums, so this is very new and strange information to me.
My flower picker alt is actually my first level 60 character, it was a tauren shaman that I decided looked silly in end game armor, so I rolled an Orc Warrior like 2 weeks after hitting 60.
By end game, I mean elements set, and by elements set, I mean pre graphics changes…back when it looked like a big golden/yellow mess.
So now my terribly/not so much geared retired tauren shaman sits in the Orgrimmar bank but occassionally makes trips to Scarlet Monastery to farm me Gravemoss and Fadeleaf for shadow pots for Loatheb each week.
Pretty annoying

@Gitr: Yeah, I’m almost sure I read somewhere that you won’t be able to learn high level things on low level characters, at least it would apply to everything that comes in TBC.
In TBC the cap for tradeskills goes up from 300 to 375. And to get past the 300 cap, you need to be level 60, just as you needed to be level 35 to get past the 225 cap. Not really a changes how tradeskills on low level alts work, just a logical extension.
Well i did hear some stuff about you have to … have certain lvls to create certain items. apart from having the lvl in skill itself.
