Hard time making a proper profit off of botting!

[midnights]

Hi!

On my server the economy is down the sink atm, golden lotuses go for 20-23g, stacks of fish for 60g, cooking items like rice flour, soy sauce for 80g and so on and so on.
With the herbs i'm doing the "inscription shuffle" vendoring the shoulder enchants and making some DMC cards, but other than that i'm completely bewildered.
Any ideas? I'm swimming in raw mats, but have a hard time seeing how to make any decent amounts of gold with it.

id say to be truly profitable as best you can, you will need mining/herb, alch/inscript, enchanting/JC. I would shuffle ore to JC -> DE (sell mats or enchants), herbs to scribe or alch depending on market -> sell inks/glyphs/flasks/pots/cards.

the shoulder enchants are good for nonvolatile gold (never changes profit by day), but you are wasting a lot of potential (comes with risk of market fluctuations, as well) by vendoring away inks like that. I could get rid of hundreds of inks a day just by undercutting 2g a stack whenever i AH'd them. give it a shot for a few days and see how it works.

Yeah, maybe the title is suboptimal. Of course i'm making a profit since i don't buy the raw mats, but prices are so low for everything on this server it's ridiculous. I have, so far, 10 stacks of golden lotus and i'm just not sure what to do with them. I wasn't savvy to begin with making my gold, but yeah..

Thanks for your tips nerfmeplease, but after doing some simple math it looks like vendoring shoulder enchants is the best dump for ink of dreams sadly enough.

If theres not many golden lotus on ah. Buy them all and then you choose the price.

This will also increase cost of flasks and such

Buy herbs on ah and do inscribe shuffle, if herbs are under like 30g stack, less time invested might increase $/time ratio. I've been capitalizing on collecting a lot of the ore on server and only allowing soo much onto ah a time. Otherwise private sell so they can't make significant profit
