I know I know this was talked about before but I think cashing in on this cow if I can do JC from 1-375 for like 1000g each cause the dragon's eye go for like 400-500g on my server. Might as well capitalize on this.
I'm thinking I am going to have to take Mining up on at least one char and farm the hell outta Thorium because I need so many of those retarded Gems to get to 300.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
I use Lootables for my profession leveling, but they tend more toward fast, not cheap (probably not easy to find a lot of both in a guide, or you wouldn't find any other guides :)). Lootables assumes you've got cash to spend: http://www.lootables.com/?guide=Jewelcrafting
Yeah my big problem is alot of the low level gems and higher level gems (1-300) needed are barely on the AH. The only way I really see getting it is farming say Thorium for days and prospecting it. Not to mention needing the ore period as well.
Almost seems like too much of an undertaking for even one char.
Honestly for professions and things like that - as a multiboxer you shouldn't be looking at them to make you money, cause you can make FAR more money other ways (dailies x5, etc).
So on that note, since you're not using JC to make money (right? Right???) You can just get to 80, burn through a couple hundred quests in ice crown and storm peak and have 20k+ gold to spend to level JC and any other professions you want :)
Yeah I burn through the dailies in Icecrown daily. Most of the money goes to mats for better gear. YAY for titansteel.
I disagree :)Quote:

Dailies take quite a lot of time. If you know your way on the AH you can easily make loads of more money with just 20 minutes a day.
I'm actually considering leveling up craftproffesions on my toons to see how much money i can make with it. Since i could craft everything myself, every drop in an instance would get used etc. Will cost me a lot of money though :X
When I leveled JC about 4 months ago I went looking for guides as well. I don't know if I just got crappy skill up rate on orange but every guide I used was terrible. It undershot horribly on the mats cost. I spent about 3,000g to do 1-375. YMMV of course due to your specific server economy.

Actually dailies don't take much time at all if you know what you're doing and have a proper route planned. Especially now that there are a lot more multiboxing friendly dailies in WoTLK. I've played the AH before and yes, you you can definitely make money with it, but if you think its 20 mins a day you're kidding yourself.
Anyway, back on topic - have a look at [url='http://www.wow-professions.com/']www.wow-professions.com[/url] - there are good guides there for all professions and all but one (leatherworking) have been updated for WotLK.
Cheers,

I'll stick with an hour of daily quests per day. 1200g per day adds up fast and thats only around 18 daily quests per toon.
now if only the 5 man dailies would actually work... Well the no rest for the wicked works but I cant get that neutralizing the plague to work worth a shit.
The wow prof one that is posted is the one that I was going to give. It is a pretty decent guide. Though with JC there is NO cheap way around it. JC has got to be one of the most expensive ones to level. Wait till you try to get elemental waters. Yeah elemental waters. WTF. I have prob deleted 5897605896059 of those damn things now I am fighting to get 60 via AH and farming them. they are around 12g a pop on my server. Ridiculous.
I'm leveling up JC right now and 1-300 is a major PITA for exactly the reasons listed. Their just isn't enough materials on the AH to fund through it. I'm at about 290 and stuck like a blind man.
Once you hit 300, the availability of items goes up significantly, however so does the prices.
My suggestion would be, don't power level jewelcrafting. You really can't anyway with the crap availability. Go into it with the mindset that it's going to take a bit of time. I check the AH a couple times a day and pick up all the mats for a couple crafts before the AH is exausted.
Otherwise, grab that hunter and start farming the mats up.
I've spent about 1k gold so far and that's to 290.
i'd level up mining with several chars simply because they also have great ability to make money. ores cost a bunch in NR and even outland ores costs a bunch. you're gonna need the miners to suppliment your JC'ers craft, plus it gives you something to do while passing through a zone or questing, if you see a mineral node, you can do something about it!
