Wrath of the Lich King has Titansteel, Saronite, Cobalt, the equivalent bars in Cataclysm are Elementium, Ebonsteel, and Pyrite. Again the new profession cap is 525 in Cataclysm and the training for it is called Illustrious Grand Master. Alchemists can also create certain bars through transmutes, such as Transmute: Pyrium Bar. WOTLK Cataclysm Titansteel Bar [...]
Engineers in Cataclysm can look forward to new epic goggles also known as Killshades. The requirement to wear them is 525 skill (max profession skill in Cataclysm) and to be level 80. Now don’t overreact to the insane amount of stamina on these because you are comparing Cataclysm stamina to the current levels. Other Cataclysm [...]
If I had to place a bet on the most profitable profession in Cataclysm, it would have to be Jewelcrafting. With the potential of mass glyph sales going away, Inscription, JC’s main rival in gold making, will no longer be as profitable as it was in Wotlk. Although we believe there will be a window of opportunity for scribes to make a ton of money during the release of new glyphs as well as the newly introduced medium glyphs. Only time will tell what type of system Blizzard has planned for introducing new glyphs.
Jewelcrafting has proven to be a highly lucrative profession and this will probably be no different in Cataclysm. In fact, with the new change to colors/stats to diversify the highly sought after cuts, there will be less of a discrepancy in price between all the colors. In other words, green gems will be priced comparable to red gems. We have seen this concept before when Blizzard wanted eternals to have similar costs, however we all know that is not the case with Fire and Life being significantly more expensive.
So after digging around the data-mined information about Jewelcrafting, this is what we have come up with. The profession cap is now 525 and you need at least 500 to use the JC only gems. It also looks like current profession bonuses will carry over in to Cataclysm as well. See blue posts below if you need to be caught up with what’s in store for JC.

Back in January of 2009, we wrote about how profitable fishing was shortly after the release of Wotlk. Our numbers came out to be about 300g per hour. We decided to do this test again after noticing some increased prices of fish on our server. Our new numbers now are almost 500g/hr! Not bad for fishing [...]
Ever wanted to know know if prospecting ore is profitable on your economy based on mathematical probability? Well Ashton Kind, AkA Delcitina of Stormscale US has been working on a prospecting, JC/DE spreadsheet for us at Warcraft Econ. He has even offered to answer any questions/concerns/requests at ashtonbekind at gmail.com By using probability rates of prospects [...]
It’s that time again… the time to prospect ore a few weeks after the introduction of a new patch. We went to the auction house today and picked up 32 stacks of [Titanium Ore] for around 9500g. This is a prospecting test to see if it is profitable like our Prospecting Saronite Ore and our updated [...]
By far, this is my most consistent market I participate in. Demand remains constant, prices are going to keep going up, and materials for the kits always costs less than the finished product. Back in Burning Crusade, leg armor kits were my main source of income, which we wrote an article on. Profits were slightly higher pre-patch 3.2, [...]
This is a simple crafting into disenchant method which converts cheap leather and eternals into [Dream Shard]‘s. The three items that work the best are: [Dark Nerubian Leggings] [Dark Icebourne Leggings] [Dark Frostscale Leggings] All of these BOE blue items will disenchant into a [Dream Shard] and use 4 [Heavy Borean Leather] each as well as [...]
Taking a look back at pre-3.1 Prospecting/DE, which has become a very popular topic, we can see that it was highly profitable when gems/enchanting materials worth a lot. Now in 3.1, we can see that [Saronite Ore] has retained it’s average price of 17-20g per stack, while [Eternal Earth] has skyrocketed to around 10g each. We had actually had [...]
We have seen methods like this one before where you turn cheap raw materials into an item that can be disenchanted to net a higher value, sometimes even vendored for profit. This works because raw materials generally are in huge supply flooding the auction house resulting in low prices. Blizzard does sometimes end up nerfing [...]

Wes ford has mentioned two weeks ago that his gem market had finally hit a healthy level for him. For me, it has just reached the point where it becomes just almost worth my time to re-dabble a bit into the gem industry. Despite having no new recipes for Jewelcrafting from Ulduar, and having a [...]
Recently, we have just received a mail seeking from help, which I will reproduce here: Hey I’m A Newbie With 4 Months experience Of World Of Warcraft. I Have Two Classes, A DK (71) And A Warrior (62). I Need Some Advice As far As Making A Lot Of Money Fast For My flying Mount [...]
Ulduar is a great place for some professions, but so far nothing that benefits Jewelcrafters yet. We found that you can use all 3 of the basic gathering professions as well as fishing and salvaging. In addition, there are a few more reasons to kill extra trash mobs aside from increasing your chances of an Epic [...]
Be prepared for the revamp twink belts will go through for ulduar! Sick of the bevy of twink restrictions that have fallen across Azeroth with the coming of ulduar? Fear not, Blizzard has been infusing low level crafted gear with stealth buffs even as they wave their sweeping nerfbats across the brackets. And today, you’ll [...]
Market Watch is a weekly column that takes an in depth look at individual items inside the World Of Warcraft. Have an item you would like to tell us about? Leave us a comment! So this week I haven’t spent as much time directly in the market as I usually do, but I still [...]
Are you getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome tanking giant dragons and undead liches? Are your wrist braces and splint not holding up under your intensive repetitive strain injuries?

By far, this is my most consistent market I participate in. Demand remains constant, prices are going to keep going up, and materials for the kits always costs less than the finished product.

Author: Sherry A different perspective at making gold from a lower level point of view. While there is been extensive nerfing to Twink enchants, new items will be introduce that support twinking in general. Crafting Lowbie Gold in 3.1 This post is about how to make gold with low skill crafting professions targeted at the twink and [...]
Author: Menkáno This fish is really clogging up our banks and don’t sell very well either. Alchemy is a great way to turn them into profit possibly even more after 3.1 when the demand for DPS potions and MP5 flasks go up. After one of the last patches you get a lot of Pygmy Suckerfish [...]
Author: Level 70 Mage Let’s take a look at another perspective on the Glyph market, many of our readers found the previous guest post on glyphs to have non-typical results. Here is a more conservative and in-depth look into the market. Making Money with Glyphs Step 1: Make glyphs Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit Tools you’ll need Skillet [...]
Author: Level 80 Druid This money making tip is about selling glyphs, not darkmoon cards, which is not a bad method of profiting also. Gevlon from Greedy Goblin also loves the glyph industry. Inscription If you are not an herbalist, profit in Inscription depends on two major variables: -the number of people currently putting up [...]
This article is an extension of our previous articles on Powerleveling Jewelcrafting, Cheap Enchanting as a Byproduct, and Recouping all Expenses and Disenchanting Stoneguard Bands. To sum up what those two are about; they are the process of taking raw materials, crafting, then disenchanting for profit. For this method to work at its’ optimum level, you will [...]
This is a follow-up post requested by our readers. The original article on making gold by Disenchanting Stoneguard Bands was a neat trick you could do for easy enchanting mats or profit. After patch 3.08 and the nerfs to the number of materials used in enchants led to prices of dust/essences declining in price on some servers. This was [...]
Powerleveling Jewelcrafting So I finally decided to make the switch to Jewelcrafting and dropped skinning for it. JC being a better min/max profession and not having to physically farm for materials was my motivation for doing it. Skinning was hardly used outside of instances and even then the money wasn’t that good. I just ended up buying most [...]
With enchanting materials selling so well, disenchanting items have become very profitable. There are different items that can be created using very cheap mats or even purchased for a low price from the auction house. These are mostly level 75+ green items that disenchant into mostly [Greater Cosmic Essence] and [Infinite Dust]. You may have even [...]
Just how profitable is fishing in Wotlk? Well we had estimated that farming [Eternal Fire] brought in 600g/hr, this is a bit lower now due to falling prices of eternals and other materials. Fishing just by itself, after 5.5 hours of testing, comes out to 300g/hr. This is not a bad ratio since you don’t come across any [...]
We had talked about some enchanting changes that surfaced about a week ago. Blizzard has stated that they wanted balance the cost of enchanting dust/essences and shards. As you may know, [Dream Shard]‘s are everywhere and very cheap, while [Infinite Dust] and [Greater Cosmic Essence] are still very expensive. The original Blue post was: “In [...]
With the release of Wotlk, 4 new decks or trinkets were introduced. However the cards for them do not drop in instances or the world like in Burning Crusade. Instead they are crafted using the new Inscription profession. The skill used is called Darkmoon Card of the North. This will create a random card out [...]
With so much going on in Wotlk and the time factor of recent gold making advice, it is hard to cover everything. So I hired a friend to help write for the site. This method was used as a level 77 Hunter with Engineering/Mining as professions, which is fairly common these days. Claims to pull in [...]
