Yup, I leveled one, and she was a major drain on daily/quest funds while doing it - and I did'nt buy any raw ore, just Titansteel.

But making all the gear is so much cheaper than buying it, on my server, I can make titansteel gear for about 75% of what people charge - I'd make and sell some, but it doesn't sell very well now, with the ToC gear being the preference now. I see the same gear listed for over a week, not a good sign.

I do sell the saronite tanking gear when I can though, it can sell well at times.

I'm looking at a run on the JC rings and necks soon, they show up rarely on the AH these days, and sell fast, and by my calculations I can make about 20% profit on them, which is worth it - less and I would'nt bother. I keep an eye our for cheap orbs and dragon's eyes.
