Eh.. yes and no. Before BC, I have a friend who swore by fishing as a means of farming - you get greens from Chests, from fishing in debris, and you make a reasonable amount from selling some of the fish (can't remember which ones but some are used in Alchemy, right?). Anyways if you fish, you can cook, and in the higher levels there is some very good cookable food available. Edit: RebelAssassin, you're gonna enjoy your hunter - my second character was a hunter and I had alot of fun with it. Your first pet will probably be something easyish to get around Dun Morogh (which is ok, there are some decent beasts there), but the second one is where you hit your renaissance. If I was you I'd go for something like Bjarn or even Naraxis if you can wait til then.
