So we already know that enchanting is a pain to level up. But these are my Golden 5 that can make it easier:

Whiteline

1: Get someone with inscription to craft you vellums for a low price. If you have to buy them @ the normal price you’ll even hurt more…

2: get fiery weapon… seriously it sells like candy. Ok the scroll = 50G but you’ll sell the enchant for 10-30G profit a piece so 3 sells and your at profit.

3: Agility! get the best of the best agility enchants pre 300skill. They also sell quite nice.. WHY? rogues are the most common pvpers at lowerlvls. they would be happy to pay for agility, even warriors, pala’s  and hunters pay for 1% extra crit.

4: Don’t do the spirit enchants, yes they are the easiest but they sell like crap..  on bracers, weapons or whatever, it won’t sell, it’s not needed in pvp and most that want lowerlvl enchants are people twinking or lvling through bg’s. a smaller group ofc just for lvling pvewise but even they won’t need it and a priest lvl40 isn’t paying for +5spirit since he doesn’t have manaproblems.. at all.

5: and this is my moneymaker: enchant shield – major stamina: 45Gold a pop // enchant shield – resilience 25G a pop. Costs of both: as low as 5-15G. Even if they are grey keep doing them! they sell, and they sell fast. WHY? warriors/paladins/shaman = flagrunners = want more hp, want to beat the crap out of someone. in pve = warriors/paladins = tanks, need more hp.

IF you follow these 5 easy to do guidelines, you’ll cut your expenses for the first 350 skillpoitns by half, if you take it slowly you’ll even break even. If you are really patient you’ll profit, but then again you lose money for taking it too slow (3 extra days for high lvl enchants = more gold then > 3 days of lower lvl enchants to sell so you don’t spend too much money)

This actually is a reference to the economy. 10 spelendid years followed by 10 years of decline. And all by all in the economy this is half and half true. the economy does go up and down but not by the fixed 10 years.

In WoW you don’t have such things, though we see that major content patches drop certain prices. What I have been seeing these last days is that the epic gems are really tumbling in price. Runed cardinal Ruby’s are now cheaper as the Cardinal Ruby’s. The profit on Rigid King’s amber is getting really slim vs King’s amber. Enchants are getting cheaper and so are belt buckles.

Now this all is actually very weird, and I hope that it ain’t happening on your server.  My server already has a small market for raiders (med pop RPVP server) And all the “real” raiding guilds already have T9(.5) and have their sockets/enchants/buckles already. A lot of new guilds are also setting up and they don’t want the high end stuff yet.

So if you can have a look at the prices of epic gems, and you’ll see them decline over the next few months.

And this is my tip for when 3.3 hits: when you see really really cheap gems, buy them now, craft them, and sell them a week after 3.3… A lot of players should have new gear by then and be more then happy to pay 150% for the gem.
