I have a silly unimportant casual problem. I'm kind of thinking out loud here, while typing.
I'm stuck with the decision of choosing between my two alliance mages. Because of the character limit, I have to choose between these two:
a. Already in my main account, level 66, have 430+ tailoring, 330+ inscription, ok-looking female gnome.
b. In my other account (costs $25 for transfer), level 81, 380+ tailoring, 0 inscription (currently enchanting 300+ but I want to switch it to inscription), pretty-looking female human.
The end goal is to have a max level mage with max'd tailoring and inscription as painlessly as possible.
(sometime..... in the not so near future. I only play let's say two hours every other night)
This boils down to:
Leveling from 66-85 (giant pain for me*) + tailoring from 430 (ok) + inscription from 330 (farming herb low pain) + not so pretty.
vs.
Leveling from 81-85 (super easy) + tailoring from 380 (farming frostweave pain, or $$ at AH) + inscription from scratch (farming herb medium pain) + $25 real world money for transfer + pretty looks.
Getting rid of the in-game low-to-medium pain (farming herb/cloth, AH $$), for me this *really* boils down to:
a. in-game leveling from 66-85 for an ok-looking character.
vs.
b. $25 real world money for transferring a pretty character.
What do you guys think?
After writing all of this down I'm kind of leaning towards option a at the moment.
*The reason why it's such a huge pain is because in addition to not so crazy about leveling up to 80, I also have a horde mage at level 65 who I'd like to level-up at some point as well. Which means if I choose this option I'll have to level a mage from 66 to 85 twice.
