The right crafting professions are very profitable, I've made a lot
from jewelcrafting and incription, and a bit from alchemy. The wrong
ones are only any use for gearing your own characters though, just
makes me sad that leatherworking is always in the gear-only category,
since it was the first profession I maxed and I've always liked it,
but I don't really have any reason to use it once I hit max lvl and
make whatever gear I need!

Not even close, I'm afraid, you'll get 20-30 points out of that most
likely, maybe a little more but by the end you're skilling up using
8-10 Heavy Savage Leather, which is 40-50 regular savage leather...
gives 2 points rather than one but yeah, you'll spend quite some time
skinning. I spent a long time in Tol Barad farming spiders, took quite
some time to get to max lvl!
