Instead, the real money is in the gathering professions. The reason is simple -- you can begin gathering all kinds of goods, picking up vendor trash, and accumulating items which you can auction for gold. Also, since you will be spending a lot of time running around killing animals and doing quests, while you're moving you can continually gather more items.This brings us to our next point -- you need to have a lot of bags to fill with all the stuff you gather. Gatherers can fill up their bags very quickly.
