If you’re a World of Warcraft gamer, here are some facts you should know about:

The 3 gathering professions are among the best professions you can choose. Skinning is a must, unless you intend to avoid battles. Once you kill your mobs, you can skin them. After that, choose mining or herbalism. Which one you pick depends on what you intend to do in the future. For example, once your level is high enough, you may want to become an enchanter. In this case, you should pick mining to build up your reserves of material. Once you level up enough, you can drop skinning and replace it with enchantment. Then you can mine your own minerals to enchant some high level items.
  
If you can’t stay out very long and have to keep on going back to sell my loot too fast, you should try to get a bigger bag. In fact, get the biggest bag you can afford. The bigger the bag, the more you can stuff in it before you need to go back to the city to sell your loot.
  
If you keep on getting hurt or poisoned, and it’s too expensive or troublesome for you to get healed, there may be several reasons for this:

1. Maybe you aren’t ready for heavy combat. Try trading in the city instead of going out adventuring.

2. It sounds like you are fighting mobs which are too tough for you. Did you do your research on where are the good places to get your loot and etc?

Hope these information would be helpful you, and make you go through more quickly.
