    Best profession combo to accommodate a lazy lifestyle? - Any lazy way to get income?

    Whats the best profession combo to accommodate my fat neckbeard lazy lifestyle in Classic?

    I just saw the newest MadSeasonShow video on professions but it didnt cover all, is only part 1

    Transmuting Arcanite Bars as an alchemist seems cool...but it has a 2 day cooldown.
    Can this accommodate my lazy self?

    But as an alchemist...i must take herbalism...and farm. Which is not lazy enough for me.

    Shall i take the "classic" Tailoring/Enchanter?

    Im not asking whats the "best" way to get gold. Just the laziest form of it.

    Plz no "just play the auction house"

    Oh, lol, you mean lazy in-game.

    So, do you like herbing or mining?

    Probably 2 gathering professions. Maybe mining and herb. Essentially just chilling with another tab open for music or shows, riding around collecting the herbs and minerals, and then throwing on the AH. Pretty simple for the most part. Could download whatever gatherer add-on they will have to track places you've been and that's that.

    I was/am always poor in WoW...

    Basically what i do in retail is desinchant the endless gear being thrown at me.

    Low income but decent and lazy.

    Mining and Herbing is hard work so no

    Gathering is probably the quickest turnaround from mats to sale. Take Skinning and either Mining or Herbalism. You could also rock Skinning and Tailoring, all your mats are on mobs then.

    Skinning/Enchanting. Just skin the stuff you farm on your normal daily routine and sell it all on the AH. DE any greens and sell mats or enchants while in capital cities.

    Mining and herbing are in no way or form "lazy". Its really time consuming and with huge rivavlries with other players

    Remember that Alchemy also needs access to either Blackwing Lair or at least Scholomance to make flasks.

    Guys, gathering proffesions are hard work dont you think?
    You need to actually farm the mats and spend hours specifically doing so...

    Well you need the mats to do other professions. Playing the ah is gonna leave you poor in Classic.

    Crafting in Vanilla isn't as lazy either for some items like Flasks or Dark Iron bars and other items with cooldowns/location based requirements.

    Gathering standard ore/herbs is by far the simplest, lazyest thing unless it involves rarer items like Black Lotus.

    Be happy it's not 1.7 where it was even harder (black lotus was Bind on Pickup)

    There must be an easy way...a loophole in the matrix...
    With not as much income as "farming" but decent income...

    In retail is "desinchanter"

    Isnt only the "flasks" that require to be inside a raid?
    You could make a living selling FAP's to PvP'ers

    It doesn't need a raid, if you go to Scholomance, but a raid used to be the easiest place if in a guild that cleared the place anyway, especially for alts because it just requires the lockout and no combat.

    Black Lotus probably gets camped/farmed more then ever, even if it's random (1 per area, 1 hour respawn) , overall I think a different type of people will be in Classic, trying to corner the economy more then before.

    I heard on the newest MadseasonShow video you cant "track" more than one thing on minimap.

    So your gatherer treasure/herb/mine triple combo...will have a hard time constantly walking and switching "tracks"

    I'd just track the chests, and use gatherer for routes, don't need to track mines (especially thorium)

    You think mining and herbing are hard work?

    Quit now. Don't even bother trying Classic. XD

    Correct.

    I wouldn't have a dual-gatherer in Vanilla.

    Yes man
    You need to go out in the world to specifically Mine/Herb...which is considered "farming"...and all nodes will be contested by other players...so it will also be infuriating on top of time consuming.

    Not lazy at all...it hard work actually.

    The easy way, the loophole... is retail WoW.
    Classic is going back to the limited production, massive cooldowns, etc.

    Boy, it will be fun.

    Isn't it annoying to have herb/mining together since you can only track either herb or ore not both in vanilla? Skinning/herb or mining would be best.
