Cashing in and moving on

With the success at the auction house, we decided to pick up a couple of professions to help generate items we could sell. Skinning was a good choice as we kill a lot of animals while leveling up and could skin them for extra cash. Naturally, leatherworking goes well with skinning so we added this to our skill portfolio as well. After a couple of hours killing Boars and the like we got pretty handy with the skinning and turned the leather scraps we got into light leather with our leatherworking skill.

We put several stacks of linen cloth and light leather we had gathered up on the market and went on our way grinding and questing for experience. In a few hours all the linen cloth was sold out again for 15 silver a stack - quite a tidy profit on that. The leather sold later, but not all at the buyout price. The market is pretty competitive on leather as many other players are putting it up for sale. We'll see if some of the medium leather or heavy leather will sell better as we ramp up our leathermaking skills. Total cash on hand is 2 gold, 60 silver. Not bad, and getting from the 1 gold mark to 2 gold went very fast!

The time has come for us to move on to new hunting grounds as the beasts in Durotar are no longer any match for our level 14 Orc Hunter. As we leave the monstrous city and pass our first full day of play time I feel like we're starting to get settled into this game. Now it's time to see if we can turn up the heat a notch and accelerate our progress.

On to the Barrens which are rumored to be fertile hunting grounds...
