Can anyone give me a rough idea which profession earns more cash, if you have a flying mount? I'm skinning but get my leathers from Violet Hold and OS10 right now, I don't have the time to go and kill mammoths etc.
Would switching to mining get me cobalt and other metals cheaper?

Heavy Borean Leather is currently going for like 140G a stack on my realm. its a good money maker. on the other hand mining is too. theres lots of Jewelcrafters, Engineers, Blacksmiths who need ores/bars and either are too lazy to farm them, or cant because they have two manufacturing professions. i recently spent about 3 hours farming ores and sold about 6 stacks to make almost 500G.

Skinning doesn't just yield plain leather, you can also get arctic furs, nerubian chitins, and icy dragonscales. These sell for good prices without needing to be converted by a leatherworker.
It all depends on your server's economy
, do not forget to say that. On my server leather goes for nothing (1 stack of Borean = 9G). Arctic Fur goes for 40G/piece and considering the horrendous drop rate it's not worth the time spent to find one. Chitins and scales (dragon/worm) are considered *vendor trash* because no one gets them on AH. Sometimes you manage to sell a stack but just sometimes.
I had to drop skinning in favor of a gathering prof (herbalism) and that changed my gold income by let's say 10x.

Keep skinning, i have both proffs and i can easily net 1000g a day farming with only my 60% flyer. I got my epic flyer in four days farming for about 3 hours a day. I was selling arctic furs for 88-100g and borean leather for 7g44s - 10g per stack.
