I'd say herbalism isn't obsolete yet, all the crafter alts will find
it a lot faster to get to 92 than to 96, plus herbs seem to be used
way more - as a jewelcrafter I keep needing them, and even when I'm
cooking, I need them, plus my tailor needs them every day, really
quite annoying, as my herb garden does not supply enough for my own
use, I have to keep buying them :-( And this is before I level my
scribe or alchemist, I didn't think it even worth bothering yet since
until I can get them herbs, I can't do anything with them, and 96 is a
bit of a grind.

Mining on the other hand... well I do use all my Blackrock ore (got
about 60 in the bank, but it goes quite fast) but True Iron is
worthless to me really, only need a very small amount, got 250+ in the
bank and I sold 500+ on the AH in the first days before prices dropped
so low that it was pointless. If I could prospect it for Taladite
shards or something (get 10 to turn into the actual gems, maybe)
that'd help!
