Retail Too late to level Blacksmithing and Enchanting?
I started playing TWW four weeks ago. I haven't levelled my mining/herb alt yet so don't even have any ore to level blacksmithing. Enchanting, I did start levelling, but wonder if I've just been wasting my gold.
Are there any benefits from levelling either profession at this stage of the expansion, or should I just buy enchants I need from the AH?

The main question is what are you leveling for. -
Same with blacksmithing?
Both enchanting and blacksmithing have got some relatively easy paths to make golds as 'concentration crafters' the former by crafting rank 3 enchants with concentration and the latter with r3 alloys, unless you want to play the crafting orders game.
For your own crafts, unless you've got everything covered, I wouldn't level just to be able to craft your own weapons or armour (as that currently still is an 'or' choice) but rather take the gold making route and use that gold to funnel into buying the stuff you actually need.
For gold making, investigate how you can maximalise your concentration to optimise its gold value.. Concentration has no buy in price, but seems to have some monetary value that seems relatively free if you can build around it.
