Hey everyone! Hope you’ve made some room in your gold purses, because I’m back with another Gold Secret of the Week! This one is going to be geared specifically towards enchanters, but if you’ve gone a different route with your professions, you can probably swing a deal with a guildmate to trade services or even cut him in on the profits.
The method for this is pretty simple, the only real work involved is the research. Bring up Wowhead in a separate window and then head to the auction house. First, type “dust” into the search box and sort it by price. Write down the prices of the different types of dust. Next, do the same for essences.
Now that we’ve got that data, we’re going to run a search for green items, filtered by level. As a rule, dusts come from armor, and essences come from weapons, although every now and then you’ll get the odd crossover. Sort by 10 level blocks to make it easier to sort through and see what’s available, and make sure you stick to just armors or just weapons. Look for items ending with of the Boar, of the Owl, of the Whale, or other relatively useless stat combos.
Ready for the gold-making bit? Pull up any items that look under-priced for their level bracket on Wowhead and check what they disenchant to. If the mats would sell for more than the price of the item, buy it, disenchant it, and relist the mats. If not, move on. Lather, rinse, repeat.
This one does take a little more initial setup than the last one, but once you get a feel for it, you can probably do the whole range of weapons and armor in about 10 minutes. As a side note, this was how I got my regular flyer on one of my rogue alts, so it definitely does work very well, though better on some days than others. That’s my Gold Secret of the week. See ya next Wednesday!
