World of Warcraft Classic help needed

[Fardaza]

Hey All,
I decided to pick up WoW Classic and give it a try. I started an elven hunter. It's not very obvious what to do or what to spend money on in the beginning. It's semi-enjoyable so far.

Here's my issue. I may not be using all the proper terms, but here goes.

I ran into a first aid trainer early on and got the skill. I read later that it's a secondary skill.
I got leatherworking from a trainer also. This is supposed to be a primary skill. I should be able to get 2 primary skills.
I tried to get skinning from a trainer, but it won't let me pick it! I've got the money I need. It gave me a message something about You can only have 2 crafting skills. Okay, but if first aid is a secondary skill, why won't it let me select my second primary one? (skinning)
I can't delete first aid to make room for skinning. What am I doing wrong? I don't care at this point if I abandon first aid. I just want to add skinning to go with leatherworking. I'm leaving a lot of skins on the ground because I don't have the skill needed.

What to do?

You should be able to pick up skinning without dropping first aid.

Are you able to accept the warning about only having two primary skills and then get skinning?

I don't play Classic so I don't really remember what the UI looks like but in retail you'll get a warning when you go to pick your second skill and clicking to acknowledge that allows you to learn the skill

Sorry I haven't played WOW since 2012. I cant remember the stuff.

First aid, fishing, and cooking (if they've added it to your server yet) are separate. You can absolutely get two crafting/gathering skills.

Mining, skinning, herbalism, alchemy, blacksmithing, leatherworking, and (depending on how much they've progressed), jewelcrafting or Inscription are the skills that count toward your limit.

I've been away a year or so, but I've got ten gazillion hours in the game, so feel free to ask anything. I can't guarantee that I'll know, but I can try.

Don't have anything to add since your question has already been answered, but, have you never played WoW in any form?

Oops, forgot to include inscription in my list of primaries.

I can't actually load a Classic character for confirmation/screenshots without resubbing, but I believe that if you open your character panel (your paper doll) and click the 'skills' tab, only those listed under "Professions" count against your limit of two.

I played WoW for about 2 months around 2007. I enjoyed it, but wasn't going to pay them every month. I was opposed to subscription games at the time.

Funny, but that's kind of the way I still feel. I'll probably only play this for a month or two and then drop it again. I gotta say, it's not really grabbing me so far.

FWIW, you're playing more or less the same game you played in 2007. I enjoy WoW Classic for the challenge and memories, but it's still 17-year-old gameplay. Current WoW is different enough to be unrecognizable.

Cool, was just curious. It seems every gamer I know played WoW at some time or another.
