i have a barn, enchanting study, and tannery.

my druid is an herb/enchanter, and always has been.

is being an herbalist even worth it anymore with having an herb garden? should i just learn skinning so i can skin for the tannery? also, what should i put in my last small/large plot? another enchanting study or if i keep herbalism, alch lab? large i guess a war mill? idk.

Gathering professions got shafted because of all the botting for mats, so not really anymore.

so i might as well take up skinning then for hides and use them in the tannery for gear upgrades?

can tannery still craft epics even though u dont have lw?

they can craft epics if you have tier 3 for the armor but you cannot craft the upgrades for them.

Not sure, I havent got to leveling my rogue who is my lw/skinner yet so cannot give any info yet.

barn?

it only has been producing fur for me, even with what supposedly gets you raw beast hide from work orders. even if i were to get that, getting the materials for gear would take ages, wouldn't it?

I use barn for leather and get far more than I need. Although I have a lvl 100 skinning follower working there too.
