Best Professions for a Hunter F2P

What are the best professions for a hunter in F2P? Thanks

Scholar/Forester/Woodworking or Scholar/Forester/Tailor. Then you can craft some things you need for yourself without needing other characters or the auction house. Woodworking for weapons. Tailor for armor. Scholar crafts a lot of class items for Hunter. Forester is required to process the wood or leather, not just gather it.

Going Woodworking/Tailor/Forester is an option but the Scholar hunter class items are way more useful imo.

Going all three gathering is decent too, Scholar/Forester/Prospector. This is what I do with my main Hunter so I can gather everything on the character I play the most and have other characters that can craft gear instead.

Scholar is a top pick for Hunter so that you can craft your own class consumables, like Light Oil, Fire Oil and the other buff consumables Scholar makes. But, you can always use another character if you want to.

If you are interested in making gold by selling mats on the auction house then take the three gathering options which still lets you craft your own class items.

How can I send materials between characters? Becasue I also have a Minstrel level 7, but I don't know if I will play that one too much (is more complex than the hunter :p) and I don't know if all vendors sell all the ingredients for higher crafting tiers. But I may park my Minstrel, in a starting city and get farming, cook, tailoring them. Because them my hunter gets Scholar/Forester/Woodworking and the Minstrel Farming/Cook/Tailoring and that should cover everything right?

It would cover everything a Hunter needs I think, yes. Except being able to make crafting tools yourself. You could just save up 300 lotro points from doing deeds and eventually grab a couple Universal toolkits from the store though, far less hassle that way. Could just buy individual crafted ones from the auction house though.

You can either mail the mats or use the shared bank.

Just remember that you'll have to process leather on your Hunter first so that your Minstrel can use them. Can be a little annoying having to log in and out all the time to do that when trying to craft lots at once. You can't just process them all blindly and send them over because some recipes need different types of processing.

Putting Scholar on the minstrel instead is an option so you can avoid that. You still find a good amount of Scholar items from mobs and chests/bodies/packs/etc. so you don't absolutely need to gather the nodes for it on your main.
