38 jc incoming, deciding to own the market for gems instead of cloth.
This will cost me like 170k >_>

Not really. Still having fun running ICC10 four times a week.
I have 19 transmutation master alchemists ATM and complete sets of mats to make six more. Just need to get off my lazy butt and level them up. I have nine tailors with 400+ skill as well, in case those are money makers in Cata.
My in-game goals really aren't about owning the AH or getting to the gold cap. I just want enough money so I can...
craft basic gear
level up professions
pay huge sums of repair costs while learning new encounters
gem
and enchant
my guys without spending time doing dailies.
That seems like enough.
I was going to do 2x ret , enhance shaman, feral druid, priest.
Changing to feral druid, ret pally, enhance shaman, priest, warrior (not sure on spec yet) after seeing some NDA stuff lifted.
Small potatoes compared to you guys, but yes... plans changed =)
The main thing i changed is that i *do not* want to get ready for cata. I decided to do whatever I feel like when I play rather than grinding for a specific goal for the upcoming expansion. At my current pace I'll achieve my first goals anyway if the release is november.
I'll change my current main team from pally + 4 shamies to a flexible setup where I have a warrior / pally / druid tank that I can run with druid / priest / lock / shaman or with 4x shaman. I'll also have 3 x dps dk's & 4x dps pallies ready to hook up with a tank.
Profession wise I won't change much. 20 alchemists, 10 tailors and 5 jc's each tank will be an enchanter and 1 of each other prof except engineer.
I still still see Transmutation and Tailoring being major money in Cata.
7 day CD on cloth currently
I looked at letherworking and notiched Artic Fur was still a key ingrediens, along with eternals.
I don't even think I wanna login when the x-pac is released due to que time, and people all over the place trying to get asap! to 85.... Atm im leveling 4*ret paladins with my druid main tank to see some of the old dungeons.
But i'm a very casual player, only online maybe 2 times a week.
but people get 6 per week.Quote:

J/C is 1 prism every 20 hrs so netting you 8.4 gems per week...lets call it 8 per week...
So yes JC is awesome, but if the prism is even similar to the way it is now and only every 3ish (Or with my luck it has been) get a decent/purple gem there is not much difference. Perhaps long run JC will outweigh Tailoring but it is again to early to really dissect it to much.
Plus no one will ever stop wanting x-mute items unless
A. They are total crap/niche use.
Or B. There is no cool down so everyone can do it repeatedly i.e titanium now...
Edit - Not to mention I really could see half of those 6 cloth x-mutes being turned into "Spec" X-mutes so you only get 2-3....
Just my opinion though ;)
All I know is that JC was huge money when woltk came out, I mean HUGE.
If you were one of the first JC of the expansion your stuff would stay on the AH usually 30 mins or less the first month basically and you could set almost whatever price you wanted.
I don't have any concrete plans for Cata, because I don't know if I'll be playing it. I am assuming I will, but I was pretty excited about WotLK and wound up leaving the game for a few months right before it shipped. I just plan to continue what I have already started, which is:
- Keep leveling my priest + 4 mage team, which I am doing via quests. They will ding 60 this weekend, and possibly be somewhere between 61 and 64 by the time the weekend is over. They will all be alchemy + JC and I hope to have them all at max before Cata (currently at just under 100 alchemy, have not started JC).
- Powerlevel my 4 lowbie warlocks from time to time. They are almost 27. One of them is a 200 tailor. I'm not sure what to do with the others in terms of professions, but I will look to continue leveling the tailor.
- Finish up professions that aren't at max. I have no max'ed out tailor (one at 437, one at 280, one at 200). I have two enchanters, one is at 375. I have one leatherworker at 442.
Hopefully at Cata release I'll have ~17 level 80s, with three 450 tailors, six 450 alchemists and seven 450 JCs.
Going to carry on as I am, heroics for badges and money then slowly level my multi class team while still sucking at proffs an only makin 1.5k per day (if I can be arsed) everyones talkin about proffs an how they see makin money from them will be but I fucking HATE!!! Profesions always have always will but that's me :p and cata will only bring another prof I'll hate lol I'd just rather kill stuff than make pretty little bags to sell :p but that's why I'm poor lol
edit*** 1.5k min for 60-90 mins dungeon running not bad right? :p think of what I could do If I could be arsed lol
Anyone else getting the feeling that Cata is adding a bunch of new gimmicky things that are going to be a pain?
I can't even decide what classes I want to run in cata but I think my boxing will be limited to the leveling process and 'maybe' initial dungeon running. I think boxing content in Cata will be a no go for me. Most of the things i disliked about solo play have already been fixed and I don't see class synergy being all that important in Cata.
I may even 'gasp' not buy more than one cata box.
Yep I'm actually thinking about cancelling 4 accounts for a couple of months. Hard decision butI'm pretty damn bored right now... Did the daily heroic for months now and very bored. All the gear I farmed is's going to be replaced very quickly in Cat. So I ask myself why continue grinding at this point.
Based on the info i have so far, i might focus on Rated BGs for gear more than PvE. I was reading that you will be able to use your PvP to buy PvE and Vice Versa. It does sound as if the instances will be more challenging this time, and thats ok, ill still run them for fun. But i have fun in BGs and now that you can get the best gear in BGs, i'll try to be pro at it in Cata!
quote"
We do plan to have a way to convert Honor points (PvP) into Hero points (PvE), and vice versa, at a loss. The conversions will be possible, but it won't be a 1:1 rate, and you'll have fewer points after the conversion process. We won't allow the higher tiers to be exchanged for each other, however. "
So although I wont be able to get top tier gear in BGs.. i WILL be able to gear up enough for normal mode raids and heroic 5mans as well as get the best PvP gear, all by running BGs if i choose.
Also I will make my money from trades as well, I have 4 JCs now and will have 7+ by cata launch. I am making several tailors as well with my many alts!
No change here. I have no specific goals in WoW aside from doing some of the old world achievements that may turn into Feats of Strength.

Profession specs are being taken out, at least for a lot of them, and all tailors will definitely be able to make all 6 every week.Quote:

2 questions that pop up:
a/ any info known about min. level to get capped trade skills? (i.e 65 - 68 transmute in wotlk)
b/ say you have 20 toons available, how would you guys devide the profs on them?
1 of all professions other than gathering professions, rest as alchemist/jc.Quote:

As for Jewelcrafting, there are fire prisms, as of now, costs 3 of each green quality gem.And there will be a way tom get chimaera eye, the new version of dragon;ls eyes. Getting one per char, per day, I think could be a big money maker, as on my server the WotlK version was going for 300g or so.
As for alchemy, there are the transmutes still to the new gems and somethign called krovolian gold. Not specific on them.
But those combinations seem to be the one that are making the cash.
I for one, over my two teams am hopefully going for
teams one, 5 alchemists and jewelcrafters
team two, 5 alchemists and tailors

I think it's still too early to speculate on what is occuring, and I haven't payed too much attention to what has been released besides oooing and arring over some of the new character models (worgon droods look freakin awesome) and checking out vids of Stormwind/Org.
It seems to me that Blizz have gone out of their way over the last year to make professions more equal as far as return goes, by removing cooldowns on things such as titansteel and cloth, so i can't see them straying too far from this.
I mean, I have a (conspiracy) theory that the inscription guide released by Boub of MMO Champs was in fact written by Blizz in an attempt to remove the easy money-making potential of this profession from the market.
I'm not sure why they have left cooldowns for epic gem transmutes though :p
