Why do I have so many gathering professions? Part 1

Why do I so many gathering professions?? Part 1

Im doing this post, because Phat Lewts made a comment on my last post and I thought it would be a good idea. Why......I don't know, but I didn't even relies how many I did have until I started added them all up lol. I don't think I need to have so many, so I'm going to start to think about what I could drop and replace. 

First thing is I need to make sure if I change any of them, make sure I keep the good partnerships i.e. gatherer/crafting professions like Jewelcrafting and mining, leather working and skinning. This is how my characters are set out now....

Faction	characters	Main Profession's	Extra Professions	Notes
Horde	Fearsom	Achemy, Herbs	Cooking 514
Horde	Fearsóm	Enchanting, Inscription
Alliance	Hanzóu	Engineering, Mining
Horde	Riojaa	Mining, Skinning
Horde	Riojáa	Alchemy, Herbs
Horde	Shínn	Leatherworking, Skinning
Horde	Shinnzo	Blacksmithing, Tailoring		Just started

I think I'll keep Riojáa, Shínn and Shinny as they are, but drop some of the gathering professions. This is going to be my new professions set-up.....

I don't have anybody doing Jewelcrafting on this server, plus I need a tailor and a Blacksmith as Shinnzo lvl10 had only just started. So he can Skin and Mine up to max level. Now I have to start getting mats together ready for this, I'll be using Wow Professions for this.While I'm doing this I'm going to be keeping a note of the cost of mats, I know every realm is different but it might give people a rough price to level up Jewelcrafting and tailoring.
