As Longshot mentioned, Some professions will level very well in dungeons. While yes I worry people running higher level dungeons will just make more. I am under the firm belief they have other things on their mind. So yes you might make a little more money in higher level dungeons but so many people will be pushing for that, in the early days, it might be better to be elsewhere or do something else. That is why I am focusing on professions. What level 60 farming BRD on the 4th day will have mining at 235? Yes a few but those few are using it themselves not focusing on selling it. Or turning a profit on Blacksmithing in the first few weeks. I expect warlock gear sub level 20 will be higher price on the AH then other items. Many even boxers have said they want to level at least a single warlock to 20 for a summoning minion. Those players wont want to spend much time on that character and more then likely will buy gear or perhaps Wands...

@Moorea One of the many ways I plan to make money is to sell the low level enchanting wands to people out in the world. I will make less then sold on the AH but players with little money will be plenty happy to not have to make the trip and get a wand for cheap they can use until level 25 or so. I am kinda pushing to also get the enchant for riding speed increase. Hopefully I can sell that to some level 40s (While I am not pushing leveling around that time). With all my dungeon runs most BOP items will make great enchanting dust for my cheap enchants.

I find even with my investment banking. The byproduct or some frivolous item used in the production of something will always be profitable. More so then the thing everyone talks about. For instance just an example:
Hundreds of companies want to open stores that all sell the SAME thing (Lets say Granola bars). One of those companies will become the best and sell the most while others will still make money but most will fail. Why invest in the store, when you could invest in the Granola farmers? Well farming is hard and people are fickle. Why not the container the product is sold in? Almost everyone uses the same thing. Hell most times the same company supplies, the same, packaging for each company. I invest in the packaging company of a winning market and usually win that way.

All that to say most little niche you can think of will probably have a nice profit to it. I expect checking a couple Youtube and written guides that with little effort you can find BOE items that wont be farmed but still be in high demand. If everyone, or at least most, only do certain dungeons. Some BOE items will be less available and someone? Maybe you can take advantage of that.

I hope I was informative to those that needed it and spoke of tried and true wisdom to those that already knew. If I even spoke with wisdom. I never fail to learn something new here so glad I decided to starting replying instead of just lurking
