    My Solo Gold Guide (150-350+ per Hour)

    I posted this on another forum a little while back, and recently realized that very few people had used this strategy. I couldn't find any gold-making guides that used this method, and my approach is much more efficient and faster.

    Here it is:

    It's a very reliable method of making gold, requires little travel, and does not require any gathering. You need to have the Enchanting skill and Tailoring (preferred) or Leatherworking. Engineering, Jewelcrafting, and Blacksmithing also works in many cases, but will depend on the cost of materials.

    First, let me give you a break down of how much money you can make. Check out Thottbot, and look at the Disenchants from "Black Mageweave Shoulders".

    Materials:
    3x Bolt of Mageweave (75 silver each)
    2x Heavy Silken Thread (18-20 silver each, depends on rep)

    Disenchants:
    Dream Dust 112.7% (60 silver ea)
    Greater Nether Essence 29.8% (6 gold each)
    Large Radiant Shard 4.6% (8 gold each)

    What this means, is for every 100 Shoulders you disenchant, you will receive 113 Dream Dust, 30 GNE's, and 5 Large Radiant shards.

    So roughly 261G to manufacture which disenchants & sells for 288G. That's only a profit of 27G for every 100 items you create. HOWEVER, there are some items that are _very_ efficient and depending on AH prices you have the opportunity to make large profits.

    (The other benefit of putting Disenchants on the Auction House, is that there are NO DEPOSIT FEES. If your disenchants aren't selling, if won't cost you a cent to keep putting it back in the AH.)

    So, what I did was collect statistics on roughly 250 items from Thottbot, and compiled into an Excel Spreadsheet to determine the most efficient profit. You should do the same:

    First, create a section consisting of Dynamic Prices (ie, Mageweave cloth, Runecloth, disenchants, gems) - any materials that are used in your manufacturing process and can be bought at the AH. These prices will fluctuate depending on the economy.

    Second, create a section of static prices (ie, vendor items such as Runethread, Black Dye, Salt, Coarse Thread, etc.) These prices will be based on your reputation, so I would recommend purchasing these items from the cheapest city possible (highest rep.)

    Third, create a conversion matrix. You can get this information from Thottbot: World of Warcraft for any items. For example;

    (I'm showing this vertically, but you should make this a single horizontal row in your spreadsheet.)

    Nightscape Headband (Mats: 5 Thick Leather, 2 Silken Thread)

    Cost to Make 1: 84 silver
    Cost to Make 100: 8400 silver
    Output 1: Vision Dust 241
    Output 2: LessNether 33
    Output 3: SmRadiant 4
    Value of DE: 18350 silver (for example, "241*B44 + 33*C45 + 4*D45")
    Profit: 9950 silver
    Profit (G): 99.5 G
    Profit per Item: 1 G

    <Note: You can even show Time Factor for each item to see how much you can make per hour. In some cases, I have made over 350G per hour when supplies were readily available and that's even when I undercut the competition.>

    Here are some recipes to get you started on. I would recommend comparing these prices to your own Server's AH to see if you can make the same profit or higher.

    For every 100 items disenchanted:

    Black Mageweave Shoulders (Tailoring): Yields 26.8G
    Black Mageweave Vest (Tailoring): Yields 36.5G
    Nightscape Headband (Leatherworking): Yields 99.5G
    Netherweave Belt (Tailoring): Yields 145G
    Netherweave Bracers (Tailoring): Yields 159.8G
    White Bandit Mask (Tailoring): Yields 100G

    The absolute best recipe I've used is White Bandit Mask.

    Presently, it makes 100G per 100 items and I sell the occasional mask to make extra profit. I also control the market (ie, buy out all Vision Dust, and set my own prices). Typically, I'll make 200-300G per hour as long as Mageweave supplies are readily available on the AH.

    Stick to your Excel spreadsheet and calculations, and make sure you don't buyout items that are too expensive (For example, I only buy stacks of Mageweave at 3G and no higher.) Brown Linen Robe actually makes profit too, great for beginners and it's how I made enough money to level my Enchanting from 1-300. Not only can you make quite a bit of money using this method, but it's also great at levelling up your Professions.

    Hope this helps!

    Note:

    If one were so inclined, Innerspace (Bot App) can be configured such that your character automatically purchases Mats, Manufactures Items, DE's, then sells. Since money can be made from each Cloth and Leather types, there should be plenty of materials available on the AH each day, and money can be made from each.

    Keep checking the Auction House, the Pattern always pops up on there. I've seen 4 at a time in some instances, and they sell for 6-10G each.

    It has a low drop rate in ZF, and has also been found by many in those half-buried STV bottles along the Wild Shores.

    I'm a bit confused on this, so ultimately your crafting items for low and disenchanting them for higher prices?

    It's like a Disenchant Gathering Profession.

    As a Leatherworker or Tailor, there are specific items that you can craft where the disenchant values far out-weigh the cost to make.

    For example,

    You craft 100 x White Bandit Masks and disenchant them all. The cost to make 100 x Mask's is 90G. The value of all of the Disenchants is 190G.

    Therefore, you receive 190G profit.

    The purpose of the spreadsheet is to change the values depending on current AH prices to determine which pattern generates the most profit. I used to be able to craft 100 x White Bandits Masks at 45G and I could sell the DE's for 350G. It all depends on the economy.

    Important Note:

    MOST items that you can craft will NOT generate any profit. There are a very select few number of items that CAN generate profit (some of which I listed above.)

    (Runecloth Tunic for example costs 1,245 G to make 100 and the DE's are only worth 260G.)

    I can usually make about 3,000G per week using this method, just need to put in about 2 hours a day.


    Hope that helps..

    The list above identifies prices I typically work with on my server.

    Vision Dust 50

    That's 50 silver per Vision Dust, however the price will fluctuate on the weekend.

    (At 50 silver each, that's 10G for a stack of 20.) It's slightly higher than that right now, I'm selling vision dust at 14G per stack. I set it at a fixed amount every time, 24 hours.

    Re: My Solo Gold Guide (150-350+ per Hour)

    Excellant post. I do something similar with my blacksmith. I make tons of Fel Iron products, for some reason I can get 20 bars for around 8G on Zul'Jin lately. Very cheap, most of the time though I just circle Zangarmarsh and get a stack of fel iron in about 30 min. I make the items and send it to my alt Enchanter who disenchants them, mostly turn to arcane dust which sells for about 35G a stack. I spend 24G and get 35G. Not that much, but I'm sure if I break it down like you did, I could find ones that would really pay off. Now I'm going to have to waste my day today figuring out what method works best for me. Thanks for making me soon to be rich in warcraft.
