Some items, particularly after launch, sky rocket in price like silver and thorium. I made a bucket load of gold right after Wrath by saving not netherweave, but wool and silk cloth. I also had a lot of tin and made a decent wage on that. <br /><br />If you herb, be sure to pick the herbs best suited to level Alchemy and Inscription. The changes to inscription in Cataclysm will drastically change the value of scrolls. They will be "learned" for permenant use by a character. However, herbs for alchemy will naturally still be a viable source of income. <br /><br />Another factor is the market itself. Although there are general needs throughout, each server does have different cultures and approaches to leveling and end-game. RP servers don't usually see end-game epics in the AH often, and said epics go for a bucket load of gold. That's because the average player on an RP server is there to roleplay. In normal servers, end-game consists of mostly raiding content and some PvP, which means you'll see a lot of either mats for high-end epics or that actual pieces themselves, as well as PvP-specific gems, pots, and enchants. <br /><br />Bottom line is that you will have to research to see what sells best on your server and the what days to put the items on the AH. This takes watching the market, learning about a few add ons to make the process easier, and a whole lot of patience. <br /><br />The beauty of all this is that as you learn to be a World of Warcraft entrepreneur, it translates well in real life. ;)RM Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18215103768909458896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-85320540291986292482010-09-28T14:22:41.686-04:002010-09-28T14:22:41.686-04:00Wool Cloth is running at a premium, which makes me...Wool Cloth is running at a premium, which makes me want to go farming in mid 20s areas....Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-45736241660338604972010-09-28T14:02:52.373-04:002010-09-28T14:02:52.373-04:00Hehe i am actually the opposite, I love shinies bu...Hehe i am actually the opposite, I love shinies but I cannot care much for gold in WoW - there's simply not enough goodies to buy! ;)<br /><br />I'm also not so sure you wanna sell all your gems and cloth etc. right now; the past has shown that prices for old materials can go up (especially those frequently used to skill up professions) in a new expansion, lots of people rolling new characters and skilling them up etc. :)<br />so I am saving some of my stuff for Cata, it goes very cheap atm (everyone is selling!).Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.com
