question about potions vs scribing

hi, newbie here. what is the difference, im making my mage. and i want to dedicate myself to one of those. but it could be cuz its so low level but scribing just heals me instead of buffs. should i focus on potions or scribing

 

Food, Potions, and Scrolls are all types of crafted consumables, their differences are,
-Potions-
Short duration, but have very strong effects, ex. +33% spell Damage for 230 seconds, good for raid bosses.
-Food-
Long duration, but weaker effects, ex. +18% spell Damage for 700 seconds, good for Lootrunning, grinding mobs and profs, and Forgery runs.
-Scrolls-
Shortish duration, weakish effects, but apply in an area to multiple players, ex. +14% spell Damage for 300 seconds, with an effect radius of 10 blocks, good for general party content, especially Annihilation parties and raid bosses.

 

Don't.

Look. Just don't.

Professions suck. You don't need them. You should not use them.
