Gathering
Gathering skills are one of the best ways for characters of any level to make money. Mining, skinning, and

herbalism will allow you to collect crafting materials which can be sold on the Auction House. Taking 2 gathering

skills is probably more profitable than having a collecting and a crafting skill at the lower levels. In many cases,

raw materials sell for more than the items crafted from them. The Gatherer add-on will track resources on the

mini-map and the world map, allowing you to revisit nodes you've harvested before.
