I'm at the dead-end economically[Damn Herbs]

[Suxxyduck]

There we go, I am herbing and mining efficiently, but when it comes to selling them...

As 5.4 herb prices are down to 20-25g a stack.

So I leveled inscription and alchemy on my other toon, but now I see I can not even get more profit from my herbs!

Especially inscription sucks now, cause shoulder enchants are only 1g 87 silver to vendor.
Also glyphs don't sell easily. You wait for days.
Shoulder enchants are not very profitable and they also dont sell quite well.

As for alchemy,
Flasks costs as much as one golden lotus costs, so prefer selling golden lotuses raw.
Transmuting is not too bad, but not as profitable as it should be. There's a minor profit when you transmute ghost iron bars, but still its ores, not herbs.
Potions, I havent tried to mass sell them, but I think they won't sell so fast and stuff.

I am at the dead-end, I don't know what the hell to do with my damn herbs except cod'ding them to people for 25g.
Any advice??!!!?

Start fishing and cooking. Considering the raid progression this days, most people who try to progress in raids are in deep needs of the food. Also potions ( not flask). Other thing you can do is to farm cloth in krasarang winds and go tailoring and make the crafted pvp gear. Or grind glorious transmog gear. You name it.

If you have alot of herbs you want to spend, make potions. ( the potions that will sell all the time is) [Virmen's Bite] [Potion of Mogu Power] [Potion of the Jade Serpent] and potion of luck.




EDIT:

For inscriptions, make cards.

Get jewelcrafting and enchanting on another toon. With inscription make shoulder enchants and sell on the AH. Half of the ore you should transmute to make living steel, the other half should go to jewelcrafting to make gems and rings/necklaces which you disenchant. What do you sell?

Shoulders, living steel, gems, enchanting materials and possibly gylphs + darkmoon cards.

IF you have more character, give them blacksmithing, tailoring and leatherworking, skinning.

Save some of the ore to create Malevolent set and other items, with tailoring create bags to sell, with leatherworking create malevolent gear.

Lucky you.
On stormscale eu herbs can go as low as to just below 9G per stack.

I was just thinkin 20 to 25 isn't terrible - but depends on how you use your gold

Fishing pulls ahead in my server tho too!

If some profession is not profitable - level up another one.

Herbalism/Mining + Alchemy/Jewelcrafting + Enchanting+Jewelcrafting, is the way to go. I made 10k with 2 hours worth of gathering with a 200 NPH average profile today. Imagine if you had 4+ accounts or gathered more.

All of these 6 professions go together and compliment each other as I explained it above, maybe I'll make a guide.
