What can honestly beat a herbalism/miner in wintergrasp for G/Hr?

[Niley]

ill take 5 mins doing transmutes and making 2k+ gold over 5h of herbalism.

I said without mass transmutes.

Also for the person who said level 10 hunter. I know that was an exageration but i feel i should point out they need to be 65 for 450 mining.

I've seen that issue where nodes disappear right in front of me with nobody around. However, I have only seen it in Icecrown, and I believe they are simply in a different phase than I am in. If I saw it somewhere that there weren't any phases I would probably be more apt to report it.

If you can stand the tedium, it's 900g (or whatever) per hour, after having done your 5 mins of transmutes for your 2k+ gold.

They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

You only make money if it sells. Farming up "55 frost lotus, 80 stacks of herbs (lichbloom, icethorn), 34 eternal life" is not the same as making a couple of gems, that's a lot more product to move against other people also farming the same things. And that gold per hour drops drastically once you start flooding the market against professional farmers, who will be more than happy to get into undercutting wars with you. And the more you do it, the faster the market becomes over-saturated and sales drop to a trickle because people just don't need any more after stocking up on deeply undercut herbs. Especially once people aren't overloading themselves on flasks and pots to tackle the learning curve for The Lich King raid.

You say the Lotus sold, what about the 80 stacks of herbs and 28 Life? Because if those haven't sold, it's only a profit of 660g per hour, assuming he sold them at the 60g per average.

Question about the transmutes: anyone care to put me into the right direction? What it exactly is, what the requirements are, and what it approx costs to level alchemy to the proper skill? WoWwiki & similar sites aren't very clear about it. I have several teams around 60 so figured this could be worth it ...

This happens in EWL and Winterspring as well. It has been happening before there were phases.

I agree, picking raw materials is a good business as long as others want to use time for games "real content".

Has anyone else noted that mounts are too fast nowadays. I fly around finding nothing and then when I stop ofr two seconds, a node appear to minimap just next to me. It can be just a coinsidence, but more likely GUI just can't update it completely as fast as I fly.

Zenga:

you need 450 alkemey to do the transmutes. Just buy up herbs (goldthorn, felweed and tons of saronite are really nice to have) on the cheap in the week before you start, and make sure to get transmutation master (4 primal mights, ouch). Get the transmutation master asap as then you can make profite making the titanium from the saronite as you level up. The last 5 you need frost lotus for but you can resell the flasks for about the same cost. I think you need to be 65 as I try on a guy 61 and abonded it at 350 (well untill he hits 65).

Tips: Use recipies that call for the fewest (i.e. 1 of X and 1 of Y instead of 3 of X for example); Only do yellows if its 2-1 cost wise (i.e. if the materials to do the yellow is 1/2 cost of materials to do an orange); Avoid greens but sometimes you have no choice.

I have 7 450 alkemey now and its 1000G every 20 hours. Got 4 guild bank slots and was able to get to 450ish in eng (by far the most costly but I made a nesingway 4000!), bs and jc from the profit! I have almost 2 guild bank slots full of herbs right now getting ready to do more runs. I can get a guy to 450 in under a day easy after I stockpile the right stuffs on the cheap (i.e. buy when price is low and hold untill you do your run instead of buying what you need when you need it at rip off prices).

I also have 2 tailor at 450 and am working up another 2.

Gems are down to 140G each now but some guy buys every one I make of KA, MJ or CR. Dont make any cept those three. Does anyone know exactly what someone would sell with those 3 gems, the guy must buy like 20 gems a day easy whats he makeing?


Im turning over gold hand and fist. Just put yur stuff out when the lowest price is 80 percent of more of market price (best to move goods even at 80), and don't put it out otherwise. Check 2-3 times a day and cancel undercuts. Find items that no one else is selling; thats where the profit is.


Glad I made my start on bags before as the compeition is really cutthroat now, 8G for neatherweave and 40G for frostweave is common 90 percent of the time .....
