Gold making tip, borean -> heavy borean

[Fuzzyboy]

Too risky on my server, not much demand for leather, and while there's a sweet spot where you could double your money, there's just too much on the market, and too many undercutters. I'd want to do this overnight, or over a weekend, and there's no way I'd sell more than a stack or two. People don't make or buy the good leather stuff, badge gear is easier to get. Armor kits are the way to go, to sell to people with badge gear.

In fact, might be time to look at the costs of armor with the new vendor arctic fur...and the current prices...

Leather has always been cheap on my realm, it's cheaper to buy it for patterns than farm it.

edit: Nope, already figured out, there's a flood of armor kits on the market.

I discovered it when I was shopping to have the ilvl 245 pieces (chest, wrist) and the ilvl 226 boots made for my rogues. I guess it's server specific but there's usually very little heavy borean for sale and all the stuff I made sold overnight (which was like 15 stacks at 110g per stack).

I think the recent demand for leather is due to the lower prices of crusader orbs which makes the ilvl 245 tradeskill pieces really cheap, so everyone is getting them. Eternal shadow is selling for almost 10g each also, and price seems to be going up still.

I used to make gold this way since i leveled LW on my solo druids months ago, has always been possible. Another tip is Heavy borean armor kits. increases your market a bit.

It has probably always been possible, but the recent rise in price of heavy borean has made it a lot more viable

I just looked again - the profit margin is 1g per stack of Heavy Borean. Not worth the effort, frankly.

I looked at the leather stuff I could make - again, it's all selling for less than the mats, only the TOC and above recipe gear sells.

I'm on a original 20 server, if there's a way to make gold, there's 1000 players ahead of me. If I had the money to move to a newer server, I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's okay, I have ways to make money, in my economy.
