Ive had a private buyer for my saronite ore, just selling at 15/g stack which is a little low but it keeps my gbank empty. My buyer told me he xmutes his saronite into titanium, and he prospects titanium and also has a buyer of 100 titansteel a week or so.. (which meant he bought 17 stacks of eternal fires off me.. schwing).. but he said he makes 2g/titanium bar profit, and he'd still make profit if he just sold the prospecting. Tempted to check it out and make an alchemist but seems like lot of micromanagement, I work 40 hours a week and dont want to spend hours each day doing sales stuff..
He also was buying my titanium for 150g/stack and my eternal earths for 80g stack.. but yeah the ore on the AH was at 13g yesterday and he didnt need anymore saronite so I made them into bars and sold them for 35g/stack, 90 stacks. I still think my herbalist pulls in my cash with frost lotus/icethorn/lich bloom + eternal lifes
