    Making money with Orbs.

    Tonight, I'm going to show you guys how to cash in on the dirt cheap Orb market.

    This is server dependent, but I think most servers should be able to make some decent cash from this.

    Alright to start, let me give an example item:


    Making money with Orbs.-inv_chest_mail_07-jpg
    Crusader's Dragonscale Breastplate

    40x Icy Dragonscale
    8x Eternal Water
    8x Eternal Life
    8x Arctic Fur
    8x Crusader Orbs


    Now all we need to do is find ourselves a Leatherworker, if we have one on an alt, a friend, a guildy, or just a random that wants steady work.


    If we were to buy all the mats we could from Frozo the Renowned, it'd set us back 72 Frozen Orbs. At 10-15g each on most servers, that sets us back between 720-1080g, and an extra 40/50g for the Dragonscales. Dependent on server economy

    If Crusader Orbs cost less than 6xFrozen Orb price, buy those instead for the Crusader mats, otherwise just trade in Frozen Orbs for them.

    This breastplate still sells for between 2.5/3.5k on my server, dependent on time of the week, and I'm sure its not going to have dropped below 1.5k on any server yet.

    I've found this works best with the Leatherworking items, as everyone and their dog has a Hunter, Shamans are perpetually popular, Druids are still fairly popular classes being levelled as well, especially as tanks. Most of the LW items don't require much outside of the Frozen Orb gainable materials. However a few of the Blacksmithing items work well, especially with the Titansteel cooldown being removed.

    Check it out for yourself, and if the cost of orbs on your realm is low enough, and the price of shiny 245 epics is high enough, you can be making 1500-2000g per item you sell, with barely any effort other than the occasional macroed

    /2 WTB All Frozen Orbs-15g, Crusader Orbs-90g - COD For quick sales

    Good luck, and if you guys have any questions, just let me know.
    Alcoholism is a disease but it's the only the disease you can get yelled at for having. Damnit Otto you're an alcoholic. Damnit Otto you have lupus. One of these doesn't sound right.

    So, basically, you told us to buy Frozen Orbs and use them to get Crusader Orbs, or to buy Crusader Orbs, and then use that to craft an item?
    Sorry, but am I missing the guide part of it?

    Apologies if I confused you. What I'm saying is that with the low price of Frozen Orbs, and the relatively high price of epics, you can buy a ton of them, use them to buy Crusader Orbs, and other mats (eternals, arctic furs), and craft 245 epics with a massive profit margin.

    The guide part comes from the fact that this isn't immediately obvious unless you make a habit of familiarising yourself with all the profession requirements, and a lot of people obviously don't know about this otherwise I'm sure I'd have some competition in doing it. Any questions?

    Used the same technique a while back with Blacksmithing and Tailoring :

    Glad to see someone else picking up on Frozo. Its a clever technique that server economies do not compensate for when buying and selling Frozen Orbs.
