[Gold]Herb proffit

[agarr94]

There was a hotfix 11th December that affects the economy greatly, and should be considered a great opportunity to make gold before other people notice.
With the hotfix, the materials required to craft potions and flasks were changed, this makes market herbs skyrocket since they are required for Draenic Agility/Strength/Intellect potions.
Quote from MMO-Champion:

• Combat potion recipes no longer requires Crescent Oil and meat/fish, and will require herbs instead.
• Flask recipes will use more herbs, increasing the number of herbs needed from one type of herb to two.

What to do:
Buy as much as you can of the following herbs (compare herb price with potions incase your server market has already changed drastically).
Buy "Fireweed" for "Draenic Agility Potion"
Buy "Nagrand Arrowbloom" for "Draenic Strength Potion"
Buy "Talador Orchid" for "Draenic Intellect Potion"

Now you can either hold on to these herbs until the market has stabilized at a higher price,
or you can learn alchemy and craft your own potions for even greater proffit.

You only need lvl 1 in alchemy to be able to craft these potions, to get the recipe for them, simply visit the alchemy trainer in Ashran or if you have alchemy lab in your garrison, you can get it there.

It requires 3 herbs and 1 vial for each potion, and on my server this gives a massive proffit due to herb prices being as low as 2-3g when I started. However Draenic Intellect Potion quickly lost its proffit due to them only selling for 15g compared to 25g each strength/agility potion. But this all depends on your server economy.

Sorry if this guide is messy, its the first one I've written, and just wanted to get the information out quickly and as clear as possible.

Draenic int potions are 9 gold on my server, the orchids are 2g30s to 3g already. The other mats look a little more profitable, thanks for sharing this op. +rep

one of your toons should also have a trading post, not because its handy but so you can check every day what goods are being traded for the GR. on my realm today its fireweed + the hotfix changes above = 1 fireweed at 4g20s atm.
