I thought i might share my method of gaining gold in WoW. I've been broke for quite a while till i "used" a friends account to get some money out of jewelcrafting. I made quite a bit of money so i made jewelcrafting my main profession.
I made 60k Gold in 1 week with this strategy
--> i got up to 75k gold total until i started to spend everything on huge investments
--> i bought: Travelers Thundra (18k), 2x Darkmooncard: Greatness (2x10k), 1x Chopper (17k) + a Chopper for my friend (17k) and still got about 15k left
So what do you need for this to work:
- 2 Professions: Jewelcrafting(390) / Enchanting (325)
- 500-1000g starting money
What you gonna do?
1. Farm saronite ore and don't sell it.
2. Prospect all the saronite - you'll get the rare gems (craft them in something usefull - check which stones go for a lot of gold in the auctionhouse) - you'll also get some uncommon gems (keep the blue/yellow/orange/red gems - you will not need the green/purple stones)
Edit: Some asked which gems are usefull: It highly depends on your server and what the demand is for that gem at the moment. Sometimes Vivid Forest Emeralds sell for 35g+ and sometimes an Enduring Forest Emerald is worth more. If you just started this method or you don't do a high mass of prospecting then you only wanna make the highest priced gems. Otherwise you just make every gem that goes for 15g+ (around 5-8 at the time) and put it in the AH. The color matters too, on my server Red > Yellow > Purple > Orange > Blue > Green. Of course you need to do the JC-Daily or buy the damaged necklace for new recipes. Usually i just go to the AH a couple of times and see which gems are selling the highest, then i know which recipe i'll buy next.
3. Transform all your eternal earth into crystalized earth.
4. Use the gems + crystalized earth for the following recipes:
Bloodstone Band
Crystal Chalcedony Amulet
Crystal Citrine Necklace
Sun Rock Ring
Yes it will take a bit of time - but those are the most efficient items to make.
You'll get a lot of infinite dust and lesser cosmic essences (make greater cosmic essences out of them) - you can sell those mats for a pretty high price at the AH.
You might ask why i don't have more money if i could make 40k a week - simple answer: there is nothing to buy anymore and i rather do pvp or raid, since i still got 15k left.
