Newbie Question regarding crafts for main and altFollow

Hello

As the title suggest I am debating what craft to use for my alternate character. Ive read the faq, sticky's and went a few pages back in the tradeskill forum to research before posting, so please forgive if this is the 15th billionth post on the subject.

My main is a lvl 15 NE Druid, I have Herbilism / Alchemy along with first aid and fishing being leveled, my alternate is a warlock (level 1 atm) I had planned to do Herbilsism / Fishing / First aid as well, what has me at a loss is deciding my second profession for my alt. I wasn't sure what might be good choices, I had initnally thought of making both alchemist, but after some thought it seems I would just be competing againt myself and risking flooding the market, Im leaning towards Enchanting to disenchant all those Greens I find from drops (not worthwhile to sell on ah) and from questing.

Im not looking to be rich, just self sufficient and hopefully get a good start on this while I'm just learning the ropes of this game.

Also tailoring and leathercraft seem like viable options, I dont seem to enjoy mining (Or rather I should say I perfer herbilism), and engineering while fun looking, doesnt seem to net much of a profit, I suppose Blacksmithing is a choice as well, but without mining as a gathering profession I would assume it would be a non-starter considering my low income.

Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated, or even a point in the direction of more in depth articles regarding crafting.

Thank you

Since you mentioned you do not wish for riches, honestly if you want to enhance your character maybe you should take up engineering.

I would drop the idea of another herbalist, your right it might help flood the market, but also i really feel you should branch out to different things, just because it gets very boring quickly. I would pick up mining/engineering - I did this with my alt and it has easily raised the level of my playing, and made the game so much more fun!

Also it could be beneficial for you to pick up tailoring, making bags and cloth armor for your lock is always good.

the easiest route to take for your first character is double gathering; skinning and herbs since you don't care for mining. then your alt could take alchemy and leather/enchanting/tailoring or whatever.

cool thing is while your main is out there leveling and dumping skins and herbs in the mailbox, your alt sits in sw or org emptying the mailbox into the auction house, gaining rested xp, and the occasional ony/nef buff to make leveling up a breeze.
