What is the best way to make gold with Blacksmithing?

[rocktehrocky]

I currently have maxed out blacksmithing and im curious to hear your methods of making gold with this profession

Drop it for something profitable.

I was doing okay selling an epic shield here and there with it, but mats prices were just too high to justify attempting to make a profit off that lousy profession.

I made more gold buying already crafted pvp gear and relisting it when prices were higher.

When MoP hits the level 90 gear will probably sell ok but it is riskier gold making wise than just farming.

Drop it for something more profitable? i was making over 16k a week with 30mis work....

I used to make Ebonsteel Belt Buckle approx 10 on a monday and other crafted items and they would easily sell for 150g each....
You would need other professions like alchemy and enchanting for more serious profit,making the rarer items with alchemy...truegold and such to keep the cost low sell the epic items for about 5k per wrist items and 10k for legs.
making some items and disenchanting for heavenly shards is good too stormforged shoulders would be perfect for this as they only take 12 elementuim bars to make....just bot for the ores and disenchant after crafting.

Making the crafted PVP gear is ls also another option and make a full set and sell it replacing all that gets sold as people are leveling alts and would like easy cheap 85 gear and will buy this.

Also BS'ing is a helprul profession for the extra sockets....you HAVE to have it for x2 bonus sockets one on wrists and one gloves so if
DK JC for example that is x2 +67str gems just for having JC and BS on same toon.

I would only advise for PVP gear for BS ATM as no one is buying epic gear....too busy with MoP around the corner

Enchanting rods don't exist in MoP - so don't make those!
