Get the transmutation master asap as then you can make profite making the titanium from the saronite as you level up. The last 5 you need frost lotus for but you can resell the flasks for about the same cost. I think you need to be 65 as I try on a guy 61 and abonded it at 350 (well untill he hits 65).

Tips: Use recipies that call for the fewest (i.e. 1 of X and 1 of Y instead of 3 of X for example); Only do yellows if its 2-1 cost wise (i.e. if the materials to do the yellow is 1/2 cost of materials to do an orange); Avoid greens but sometimes you have no choice.

I have 7 450 alkemey now and its 1000G every 20 hours. Got 4 guild bank slots and was able to get to 450ish in eng (by far the most costly but I made a nesingway 4000!), bs and jc from the profit! I have almost 2 guild bank slots full of herbs right now getting ready to do more runs. I can get a guy to 450 in under a day easy after I stockpile the right stuffs on the cheap (i.e. buy when price is low and hold untill you do your run instead of buying what you need when you need it at rip off prices).

I also have 2 tailor at 450 and am working up another 2.

Gems are down to 140G each now but some guy buys every one I make of KA, MJ or CR. Dont make any cept those three. Does anyone know exactly what someone would sell with those 3 gems, the guy must buy like 20 gems a day easy whats he makeing?

Im turning over gold hand and fist. Just put yur stuff out when the lowest price is 80 percent of more of market price (best to move goods even at 80), and don't put it out otherwise. Check 2-3 times a day and cancel undercuts. Find items that no one else is selling; thats where the profit is.

Glad I made my start on bags before as the compeition is really cutthroat now, 8G for neatherweave and 40G for frostweave is common 90 percent of the time .....

On my server there are people who buy gems in bulk 20+ at a time, as well as all materials like frost lotus @ 900g per stack etc etc.

This has been my plan all along, i have gotten side tracked from leveling all the 65's and such though.

One thing I've been wondering and have even searched around for with no luck, is are there any good spots to just farm trash off mobs? Anyone know of any good mobs that drop trash that sales for high gold with good drop rates? I know most grey armor in Northrend sale for like 1-3g each and greens for 5g+. I'd like to just farm these mobs without having to run instances so much for this same reason. That way the mobs would go down faster and still drop some good stuff to vendor off. Everytime I do a search anywhere online, I just keep getting the old "Gold Salers Technique" crap sites. None I've ever even read mention anything about good trash mob locations. I know there's got to be some out there somewhere. One I found in the past for Linen Cloth was the airfield by Iron Forge, but there's no mailbox or vendors there (yet). But if I can find some good spots like this, I wouldn't mind investing in the Tundra Vendor Mount for this reason since I don't have an Engineer up high enough for the mailbox. Even that has a long cooldown on it that wouldn't help. I'm not lookin go make 2k g/hr, but it would be nice to make a good profit without the competition for nodes.

You must be 65 to get Grand master skill, that lets you get over 375. You must be a 68 to do the quest for Mastery (any of the 3) My guy is 65 and hit 425 today and has the Primals in the bank, now to level that little boomkin.

They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

I hate farming, but i would rather do dailies, almost 1850 gold in just about 45 mins on main team(all my toons have 310% mounts), and about 55 mins on on one of my 3 off teams, so in 4 hours i could have around 7500 gold from dailies+greens and misc items, plus 2k from transmutes(if the gems dont proc, all my alchs are transmute spec), and another w/e amount of gold from my 5 tailor transmutes.
That's over 10k gold in 5 hours.
So no Herbalism+dealing with ah is not the best gold maker for a boxer.

@ Sam DeathWalker

Thanks a lot, that gets me started with alchemy. A week or 2 ago i boosted enchanting on my main. Earned the cost to level up back in a matter of days. Since the weekend i have done mining/first aid from 0-450 on main, and blacksmitthing/tailoring on an alt yesterday. Amazing how fast you earn it back. Already made a small profit from tailoring. Next one is an alt with skinning/herbalism. Which should allow me to boost alchemy for cheap. Once i have leatherworking/jc on my last alt, i should be able to level alchemy on 15 alts almost for free.

But of course this principle is still key for me :)

I used to play the Auction House, and that is still probably the best gold maker out there.

But I got sick of the constant undercut - re-undercut wars.

I pretty much run Dailies, with a 15 daily route in Icecrown.
And do it with at least my main team each day.
With the other two, when I feel like it (generally with a dvd going for distraction).

Dailies are 95% of my boxing income.
It's easier to run a simple route, which always makes the same 1100-1150g in 45 mins.
Then to bother with the AH games.

I was just playing Devil's Advocate.
Once you are done with the Dailies and your Transmutes.
The gathering is still 'x' per hour, extra.

That's assuming you even have anything which gold can buy for your team.
I still want epic flyers for my warlock/priest team, but they're much too low to buy them now.
At the moment, I'm pushing myself on the dailies, with a goal of 10k per toon on each active team... to cover most eventualities, such as an expense like epic flying or whatever in Cataclysm.

*Edit*
Your daily route seems to be quite a bit more profitable then mine, with comparable completion times.

So Niley, what route are you taking for dailies? I normally bag what Ualaa does at around 1250g for the run.
I follow the daily guide which is listed here somewhere.
