Seriously… disenchanting a green worth 90 g will give you 2-4 chromatic dust worth 2-4 g each. it’s literally better, WAY better to vendor the item and buy dust off AH… or actually sell the green for a couple hundreds and then buy the dust.
It’s ridiculous that disenchanting is literally a gold loss with low tier items. Blue and greens are just not worth disenchanting. Only epics are worthwhile atm.
“So what if everyone vendored items and bought stuff off AH?” Well, the greater fool rule works I guess… some people actually do disenchant things for reasons unknown.
Many people don’t bother with using some AH addon that tells you what the item’s worth in the tooltip to weigh its value against vendoring, to DE or to AH the item itself.
Those 387 uncommon accessories and trinkets AH for 5k or so, for example… people would just vendor or DE them unawares.
Sold the tanking one that reduces initial damage from each mob by a set amount for 10k meself… looking at it it’d seemed like a good item for the “go go go” tank.
In my opinion Engineering and Enchanting are the two slowest and most costly professions to level up. You better off going mining and just sell the mats if you need gold.
Then just vendor those items, the end of a tier is always a bad time for enchanters (Both in mats and enchant scrolls), when the new tier hits and people are replacing their gear again, demand will go way up.
More mats from disenchanting just overloads the supply-side of the market even more, further lowering the value of mats.
