Before you continue reading - this is server dependent. Check your auction house prices, and see if this will work for you. This is more or less a "common sense" guide.
This guide will show you how to make profit (5k+ depending on server, etc), crafting & selling the panther mounts.
Requirements:
-600 JC
-Minimum honored reputation with Order of the Cloud Serpent (See
http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...ent-mount.html (Exalted with "Order of the Cloudserpent" in 1-2 hours - Get Serpent Mount). Honored takes 15 minutes to achieve.)
-600 Alchemy (BONUS. Helps maximize profits. NOT required)
Check AH prices of the required materials & how much the panthers are selling for. The Orb of Mystery required is a flat 20,000 gold from a vendor. If you're in a level 24+ guild, it's reduced to 18,000. (Note; this does NOT stack with the goblin racial).

Looking at this, we can tell that;
20 gems: 2400g
4 Living Steel: 3800g
2 Serpent's Eyes: 50g
1 Orb of Mystery: 18,000g
For a grand total of: 24250
The panthers go for about 34,000 gold. Resulting in a profit of about 10,000.
Maximizing profit with Alchemy:
Use your Transmute: Living Steel. You'll spend about 600 gold per this way. If you're lucky, you can even get a double proc.

Be warned, depending on your server this may not be quite as profitable. If it's a lower population server, it WILL take quite some time for the mount to sell. Best of luck!
