Professions @ 29

I've got my professions on my main twink at 222/300 in Herbalism and 217/300 in Skinning. I learned Artisan in both before 3.1 patch. Is it safe to level them up to 300? or should i stop at 225?



Also i want to bring First Aid up to the max, I'm currently 225/225 , but the FA quest is listed as being level 35, is it correct that i can learn gathering to 300 but FA only to 225?

Last, i'm considering dropping skinning in favor to mining to gain some more stamina. Though i love the extra crit, the changes in 3.1 left me with 1,7K instead of the 2,4K i had. So, would you reccomend this profession change?
 
225 has always been the max for 29s until bliz messed around with the professions, Im assuming you can only have 225, but dont quote me on that. ;)



As far as dropping skinning, thats a personal choice. I haven't found the stam buff from mining to be that great in the 20s.



For a ret paly I would keep skinning or pick up eng.
 
I have skinning, mining and herbalism 300 on several of my twinks, all working after 3.1. Herbalism even aquired after 3.1.
 
yes but if you're not willing to constantly get mats for eng/jc stuff, 2 gathering profs isn't that bad. herb is easily the best gathering prof, and mining/skinning depends on your playstyle and what you want.
 
900 health at the right is faaaaaaar better than 70 health all the time.



12 crit rating = 2.12% at level 29.



2.12% crit versus 77 health (with BoK) versus engineering. With Engineering at 225, you have access to [item]Parachute Cloak[/item] which you can enchant with 12 agility. With BoK, that's 3% crit chance from the parachute cloak (as opposed to 1.5% from [item]Tigerstrike Mantle[/item] with 3 agility).



Herbalism is a staple. Engineering looks like the best 2nd but Skinning is okay if you get tigerstrike for the stamina, like I did on my warrior.



And btw just to clarify - you can level your gathering profs to 300 after 25.
 
Fuzzles, i did not get tigerstrike as it's only 1sta more than the [Battle Healer's Cloak] which gives me some SP which is good for my Judgements and heals.



I can see the point you make with Engeneering. but with the parachute cloak i would give up 60HP more from my current cloak, and i don't know if i want to drop my health lower than i have actually.



Herbalism is definetively staying, i love popping my trinket, popping lifeblood and running away with the flag.



So my next moves with my pally will be... farming my gathering to 300 now that i know it's safe to do it :D. Enchant my cloak with lesser agility +3 (probably i'll have to farm the pattern with my DK farming mule as i haven't seen it in the AH). And let's see if i'm lucky and the deadman's hand drops (10 SM runs until now, at least i found out how not to get XP)
