If you have a gathering profession epic flyer = win
Thanks for input guys.
I got my lock to 80 and he currently has skinning 450 and tailoring 441. I was thinking of droping skinning and leveling JC as it seems that it can make pretty penny by even buying ore and prospecting it. I would level mining on my DK so I don't have to buy ore. I've heard that people make tons of money that way. Is that true? I know it will take time and money to level but skinning gets me 8-12g per stack of borean leather which doesn't seem that great.
Up to you but I will say that JC, on my realm, is getting saturated big time. For example my guild has 6.
Apparently enchanters are making big bucks now thank to the scrolls.
However, it remains a b*tch to level up. The "you get what you pay for" kinda thing.
Leave skinning and leatherworking well alone, no money to be made at all [cursing]
I don't know about that - Heavy Borean Leather sells for a fair bit, and arctic fur also sells well (as does Nerubian Chitin).Originally Posted by mrbungle
I agree though that making LW items to sell for profit is a waste of time. In all cases you can sell the component materials for more money than the crafted item.
The main benefit of LW IMO is making items for yourself. I have already made some very nice items ready for when I hit lvl78 and 80 (I'm lvl76 so far).
It's definately nice to toss an enchant up in the AH for a couple hundred gold.
Getting the mats to do it however is a pain in the ass... early questing zones have greens flowing freely as quest rewards. Quick easy mats. But later zones like storm peaks not so much... So by the time the enchants start to require ridiculous mats, the mats they need are much harder to get.
I've actually turned to playing my druid only to AoE skin and level leatherworking to send greens to me to disenchant [no]
Although professions are more or less equal in terms of benefits, blacksmithing's two sockets will get a heavy boost when epic gems become available.
Right now the two most OP professions to take are Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting for any character. The weakest being tailoring; kinda feel annoyed that the proc chance on Darkglow Embroidery is less than Insightful Earthsiege and returns 50% less mana and Lightweave is a tiny upgrade to what 23 haste gives to caster DPS. Flying carpet is a joke right now until they fix the mounting and the auto dismount when logging in with the mount being used.
Have barely sold any of the Sapphire/Brilliant spellthreads either and I was one of the very first to get exalted AC for the recipe but there's a flood of Sapphires on the AH/trade. I made a killing on Wispcloaks although that has dropped off now since epics are so readily available in Naxx PuGs.
As for jewelcrafting, I've made about 15K gold since Wrath launch with JCing. If you are not prepared to go into the AH and buy 50 stacks of Saronite or have someone sell loads to you in bulk, go into the AH and buy raw gems and cut them. I had a 100% markup on Rigid Autumns that I sold 5-10 a day and Monarch Topaz's into Glinting or Potent 2 at a time making around 30-40g after AH fees.
Up until a few weeks ago, you could have used the daily tokens and sold the Dragon's Eyes for 400G each; 400G a daily in other words. That's levelled out to be around 200g now. I used my daily tokens on recipes to build up and bought out any cheap Damaged Necklaces <200G each on the AH. Another tip is buying cheap E Earth and E Shadow and making them into the green rings; diss into between 2-5 ID or 2-3 essences, essences selling for around 25g each from ~6-8G mats cost.
Cooking, depending on the server, can make huge profit. 16MP5 food for 70-80g for a stack, and along with the Pygmy Suckerfish I use to make Guru's Elixir can make you lots of gold, but the bottleneck is the Northrend Spices for the upmarket foods. Cheaper foods like 12MP5 can still sell for a high price of around ~40G depending on day of the week.
No matter the crafting profession, you can sometimes sell the PvP stuff; it's not great and most are running round in VoA loot but is worth a dabble if you can be bothered to.
borean has collapsed in price on nordrassil - 10g a stack now , although fur is hovering at 50 still
thorium ore is the money maker for me - 60g a stack , with mithril close behind at 50
