Getting the farmers work for you.

[magnetite]

Back when I used to be okay at alchemy I used to spend hours running around gathering mats (herbs and other things), but if you find a recipe that works, you can buy all the mats for the potions or whatever you do and still make a profit. I think this will only work with rare recipes (ones not taught by trainers). One of mine I had to get it to drop in order to make my profits. Now I can make twice the profit with half the work. Maybe there's something there for all of us. Just wanted to say this is possible.

I get the farmers to work for me.  I've got 240 skinning

You mean skin their kills before they get to them?

I like to use my ranged to tag the mob, have the bot kill it for me, and then I skin the kill.

I've done this a bunch.  But I think I have a lot of Chinese farmers really pissed off at me because after about 5 minutes someone actually takes control of the character and follows me around.    Maybe I'm black-listed by commies.

I'm a rogue.  When they follow me around, it's aggro dump time for one dead farmer!
