What Will Determine Your Personal Profession Choice?

I suppose this post is as simple as the title itself, what will determine your own profession? Will you be choosing a profession based on what makes you the most profit? What benefits your guild most? Or simply picking it based on what you think best suits your character.

For me personally, I'll be choosing my profession based on what is most beneficial to my guild! Look forward to seeing others views!

I'll find daisies and pluck petals until one profession remains.

Damokles

I already aim to craft the first legendary trinket on my server as a jewel crafter.

Did Jewel crafting since The Burning Legion and will always choose it if i have the chance ;D

I like summoner versatility, let's see how it goes in AOC.

Oops, got it wrong. So, any gathering profession because it allows me to explore the world (and die to pks lol jk)

How detailed and deep cooking is^^

Cold 0ne FTB

My profession will likely involve whatever consumable people use the most.

Same as OP, I'll be looking at what is most beneficial to my guild. I'm very interested in AOC's Artisan Classes and economics, but am not wedded to do any particular skill. My guess is that a guild will most want something in the Processing Artisan Class, since I think that will be the least frequently picked Artisan Class (most mains will be Gatherers for the easy gold, and Crafting has its own prestige that attracts people).

The question then becomes do I make my adventuring main also a Processor? Or instead do I make my adventuring main a Gatherer, set up my main's freehold as necessary to support the Processing skills the guild wants, and then have an alt be the actual Processor?

Ship building for sure. My guild intends to be pirates

Well it will be a difficult decision for me because I'm one of the, "do everything on my own" types. Since I can't do that in AoC however, I may base it on either class needs OR what is deemed to be the most difficult to master (since that will make said craft more rare)

Style

Since housing is this great and a lot of people love transmog in WoW I instantly decided to go for carpentry. Be able to create that specific table for your perfect home gives me a sense of calmness.

Be sure to visit my shop to see all the different variations you can have!

I love to cook in real life, so I've always migrated towards leveling up my Cooking craft in most MMOs that allow it. However, the food you make never really felt as impactful, as what AoC is promising; so I'm really stoked on creating a Freehold Tavern, that people can come by and get buffs from buying my food.

I'm really hoping that the cooking in this game will be flexible in terms of, what kind of additional stats, buffs, and general effects I can add in them; that experimenting with different recipes and combining them, will be rewarding.

Im interested in Gathering. Its allways relaxing most of the time.
Only Logging is off my list straight of the bat.
I hate seeing a tree, go to it and not beeing able to farm the massiv oak just becourse its not THE oak im supposed to farm.
If i want to cut down an entire forrest, then i should be able to do just that. Even if all i get is Tier 1 wood.

Mining sounds interesting but thanks to the PVP around it, it will be anything but relaxing.
Leaves me with Farming and Herb gathering.

That will HIGHLY depend on how they present the taming system and it's pros and cons to us. I think I might even start a whole new thread about my thoughts on this. Damn, I will, right now. =D

Syltharis

Anything that gives overall power boost.

Nagash

Whatever I need to make books

Jyunkix

Money XD that simple

Shoelid

I've always chosen my professions based on what I think the character would do from an RP standpoint. I plan on playing a rogue, probably with Jewelcrafting as a focus, but maybe I'll go gathering.

Ravudha

Something that let's me see the world and has some sense of variation - so I'm going for taming.

Troubles

enjoyment.

I guess it depends on class. If my class can solo PvP decently well, a good option is gathering.
You need to survive out there, and need a class with mobility and some sort of survival, able to escape from battles that you know you can't win.
I'm guessing clerics won't be good for this, but mages with a Teleport might be better.
