Choose weapons wisely when beginning the game with a character. It is hard to change weapons later in the game. You can choose 1 gathering skill or 1 trading skill, or 2 of either. The gathering skills include: mining, herbalism, and skinning. The trade skills include: leatherworking (supported by skinning), alchemy (supported by herbalism), blacksmithing (supported by mining), engineering (supported by mining), tailoring (supported by killing humaniods for linen). The secondary and miscellaneous skills include: fishing (secondary), cooking (secondary), first aid (miscellaneous), enchanting (miscellaneous). Now match the skills with their particular classes: Druid: skinning & leatherworking or herbalism & alchemy or mining and engineering; Rogue: skinning & leatherworking or herbalism & alchemy or mining and engineering; Shamen: skinning & leatherworking or herbalism & alchemy or mining and engineering; Hunter: skinning & leatherworking or herbalism & alchemy or mining and engineering; Paladin: mining & blacksmithing or engineering & mining; Warrior: mining & blacksmithing or engineering & mining; Priest: herbalism & alchemy or engineering and mining or tailoring; Mage: herbalism & alchemy or engineering and mining or tailoring; Warlock: herbalism & alchemy or engineering and mining or tailoring.

For Warriors and Paladins, choose their job as a blacksmith. This will increase their experience faster than any rate. For Priests, Warlock, Mage, or Shaman, choose healing abilities, never blacksmith or fishing. This will slow your experience.
