Don’t know about your market, but as of late mine has seen Elementium Ore drop to about 80-90s per ore. Yesterday I found it even lower, at 12g a stack (or 60s each). So, I started buying it ten stacks at a time and prospecting it. In total, I spent 500g for 40 stacks, plus my AH house fees. The AH fees were for blue quality gems I listed, cut, as a result of prospecting the Ore.
I made 522g off of several cut gems. Sent my Enchanter 3 Carnelian Spikes to DE, and was left with 6 Dream Emerald, 2 Inferno Ruby, 4 Ember Topaz, 3 Demonseye, 2 Amberjewel, and 5 Ocean Sapphire. Those I will try to cut and sell yet this week(end).
However, I also have as a result:
- 56 Alicite
- 58 Carnelian
- 34 Jaspers
- 41 Zephyrite
- 26 Nighstone
- 41 Hessonite
Those I plan to hang on to, aside from what I might need as I continue to (remember to) do the Stormwind daily. If Burning Crusade and Wrath greens are any indication, we’ll reach a point during the next expansion where these should be worth more than they are now. If they’re not for some reason, I can just cut them and vendor them (some as rings/necklaces) for a profit because those blue gems I auctioned have already covered my investment.
I accidentally found a big money maker yesterday when I was trying to clean out the bank. I had stacks and stacks of Elixir of Water Walking, had no idea they would sell like hotcakes!
Nice!
Yeah, there’s a couple of low level potions that sell really well including that one. An Alchemist is the only profession I don’t have (I know, I know) so I’m not entirely familiar with which ones.
Do you have an alchemist? If you have a transmutation master, you can send a lot of those green-quality gems to that toon and change them into Shadowspirit Diamonds or Inferno Rubies for moar profit. Transmutation master is key to the profit aspect though because if you aren’t proccing extra gems, you’re losing money.
There’s a reason why my jewelcrafter is also my alchemist
I know OF an Alchemist. It’s a profession I keep meaning to assign and level, but never have.
That said, I think these greens will be worth be worth more raw down the road when Jewelcrafters are levelling.
