Haven' posted in a while, thought I would put something useful up that I learned over the year / years of mining.
First of all ::
You will be needing 2 professions. Mining, and Jewlcrafting. you may use a friend jewlcrafter, but isn't recommended because Tip = Less profit.
Mine! Mine everything. Titanium, Saronite, everything you see. I have provided a route for Wintergrasp, which I find the BEST! The map is on the bottom of the thread.
After a good hour of mining, or whenever you get sick of mining, you should have a broad collection of Blue and Green Gems, as well as Saronite and Titanium ore, with multiple eternals.
Before going further, I should explain there is a method of madness here ::
1.) Mine
2.) Craft
3.) Sell
Basically it, with some exceptions. In this guide, I will teach you things about the 2 professions, even though you could expand by transmuting, and different thing, which I will explain, but limited.
So you mined up all of that good stuff. Well, Most people would, Auction House, Vendor, or just delete some of the items you have gathered. but of course, that is silly Mc Willy!!!
When you get green gems, and Crystallized Earth's , you will be crafting them into the following Items ::
Blood Stone Band
Crystal Chalcedony Amulet
Crystal Citrine Necklace
Sun rock ring
Yah, they are greens, and yah, they are useless on the Auction House. however, look at the vendor rate! If you do the math, the green gems ( maybe except Chalcedony ), plus the Crystallized Earth's, are LESS in value, then when you create them, and Vendor them!
You may be asking to yourself, "This cracka crazy!" however, again, there is a method to my madness. In reality, gold adds up, whether it's 50 silver, or 2 gold, It adds up, and n a bigger way then you think!
After you are done crafting them, vendor those suckers! And lets move onto the Ore. This is kind of straight forward, unless you use a Transmuting Alchemist. for me, I have one in guild. you want one of these, because when you smelt the Saronite Ore into Bars, you can Transmute those Bars, into Titanium Bars, which you can sell, or eventually make a titansteel bar ( which doesn't have a cool down anymore ).
Whatever floats your boat. For the Titanium Ore, you can sell those raw, make Titansteel bars, or prospect ( which is becoming bigger now in which titanium is decreasing, and epic gems have come out. )
Any leftovers you have, sell them, be creative. If there is one thing I have learned from making gold, it is don't sell anything raw, be creative.
wit this, I taught a friend a little, he made 3000 gold in one hour, and got his 25 Primordial Saronites in 3 Days. starting from 1000 gold. Yah, it's crazy. I have made more, but, you can't rely on me, because I do all kinds of moofoo, meaning, I can't give a straight answer, because I keep a lot of it. But ya, perfection is awesome.
I would VERY STRONGLY RECOMMEND using the following route, I personally made it ( It is probably somewhere, but I never looked it up ). And I get unbelievable amounts of titty Ore and Saronite. I get somewhere around 2 Stacks of Titanium, and 6 Stacks of Saronite, in 30 minutes. It's just plainly crazy
All of the following Gold / hour and Items / hour are not on peak times, rather in middle of the night, when not many people are online.
If you have any questions, PM me, or Comment Below! Sorry for the really long guide, It's just I haven't done much for the site in a while, and thought I would make a in depth guide.
