I just power lvled my 4 shams to 300 alchemy last night (well 3 to 300 and 1 to 281 the ah didn't have the 8 herbs i needed to get to 285 but have herbs to get to 285-300). The mats price on the AH was about 800g-900g for all 4 toons to power lvl (granted that i did have some mats already, but only like 1/4 of them), but the thing i did was i took my time buying the mats, like a month. What i found out is if there is a herb out there, let say peacebloom, and someone has 1 out there for 1g and there are no others out there, the next person to post one will post it at 80s (makes sense because you will pay that price), but if you bought that 1 peace at 1g the next person couldn't see the price of the 1g so they would post the peace at the web price or lower (around 2-3s) so sometimes it is better to buy the high ones so when people post then don't just go under the other one. I did this a lot with high lvl herbs, spent a lot on a couple but saved a ton on the others. 300 -350 shouldn't be that hard to get because my guys are 62 so i will be picking up the herbs when i quest and grind. There is no need to do 350-375 making pots, the reason is that at 350 you get your transmutes and transmuting every day will easily get you to 375. What you want to do is transmute primal earth (was 3g on my server but the last 2 months it increased to 5-9g... stupid patch made all the primals go up) to primal water which now goes for 30-40g. What you do is buy primal earth lets say 5g and turn it into water and put it up for 28g (did that yesterday for 5 of them and within 4 minutes they where sold) so that is a 20g profit (5g for earth and ah cut). I will have 6 transmutes (only 1 is a master, cause the other are not high enough to become masters... i was getting procs every other day 2 months ago but sense the patch i get 1 a month), so that is 20 x 6 = 120g a day for doing nothing. People say cloth is a better money maker but i think transmuting is better. So by the time both my teams are 70 i might have enough for the epic flyers (that is breaming, but will have enough for the normal flyers).
