Alchemy is completely useless for gold making , there is no more random proc chances to make extra potions , that means your profit margins from actually making something are close to 0 , its just always better to just sell your raw herbs to save some time crafting them , i dont even bother making my own potions and flask because it takes time and i can just sell the herbs and buy pots for AH.
Crafting legendary’s is also very tricky ,basically if you dont come into the expansion with 1-2mil gold pool you cant make gold with it , raw materials are a lot more expensive than crafted pieces because every1 wants to rank up their legendary crafting , and only players with large amount of gold can buy and craft at a loss to increase their ranks , then sell for profit , but there are so many doing it i dont even know if they will end up in profit. Its a risky thing.
The only way i see making gold now is to actually play the AH like crypto market , buy low sell high depending on the day of the week.
On high pop server where bots and multiboxers are rampart farming herbs or mining or skinning is apsolute garbage , the maximum you can make is 20-30k an hour with optimal route , so to buy a wow token you need to basically farm a whole day and do nothing else , its just straight better to buy gold with euros and be done with it .
I don’t know everything he did but one of those things are running mythic and then disenchanting the loot into some crystals so he leveled it to max, also some weapon enchant sells for 15k
Made 200k out of it this week and i only gathered herbs for it while running to dungeons and a few in the Maw. It’s as far from useless as possible, you just can’t do it effortlessly with rng.
You left out the itty bitty detail, that potions now have a 5min cooldowns instead of 1. Alchemy was always the king of professions once the raid tier is out, I don’t mind that it is nerfed for once.
Even if you have millions you will lose money with legendaries on the 2nd week, as the game is filled with morons who cannot even calculate whether their crated stuff will make or lose them money. At the moment legendaries costs the third of their crafting price in my realm.
I’m on the 6th (I think) biggest horde server and there is nothing like that happening here. You can get like 100k with skinning if you know the hows.
Guys im not talking about GATHERING professions being worthless , im talking about crafting professions , i can make as much gold as i want with gathering but crafting one seems like a bad choice.
Yes the weapon enchants sells for 15k but the crystal that are required to craft that enchant sells for 18k. You see the point im making now?
Their price will go down to crafting price for two reasons. Morons already craft them and of course they cannot sell it as no one can use rank 4 ones for at least 6 more weeks. With extremely low demand the price will plummit for 6 weeks.
Then the other, the more morons can craft it (and they have 6 weeks to get there) the more supply we will have, so again. Cloth one will be like 10k top when we get there.
Alchemy is just dead from everyone and their grandmother grabbing it in BFA so there is too much supply
Speaking of BFA, the tools of the trade was what caused alchemy to be unprofitable in BFA to begin with as the ONLY way to just break even was to craft within the multiplier craft buff window
Exactly just buy 1 wow token and buy all the consumables / legendaries you need for raids and enjoy the game , 1 day of farming = 1 wow token , but if you make more than 20 euros a day its better just to buy the token.
Lots of ways to make millions of gold this expansion with professions. I’m not going to tell you how though.
The reason I bothered saying anything at all is because I don’t want anyone else to explain how to here either. So don’t! You’re only going to price crash every method and ruin it for yourself.
