What to Do With All These Forest Emerald's?

Just a fast post about what to do about Forest Emerald's. They barely ever sell on the auction house, either cut or raw. So instead of just selling them to a vendor, I make Emerald Choker's. These baby's only take 3 Forest Emeralds and 1 Titanium Bar and can be made by any jewelcrafter. These Chokers can generally sell for 75-100g. Fast easy profit!

Best Add-ons for Playing the AH

Just wanted to write up this short post real quick about the addons I use for my auctions and gold related things. First of all, if for some reason you don't know how to get an addon, I suggest heading over to http://www.curse.com/client/ to get a hold of the free Curse Client. This software will allow you to get all the addons you will ever need whenever you need em'. So now for my list of the stuff I use to make my cash:

-Auctioneer: For the most part, this will be very overwhelming to most players when they open it up. Basically this will deck out your default action house interface. The only thing I suggest using at first is the scan option. You're going to want to scan the AH every 7 hours or so, if not just try to do it once per day. The easy way to do this is just to type "/auc getall" in your chat box.

NOTE:(Some use Auctionator, but I cannot comment on that because I have never used it)

-Altoholic: This addon is pretty much the most amazing thing in the world, it allows you to see virtually everything your alts have in the bank, guild bank, inventory, talents, gear, everything!

-Auditor: This fancy lightweight addon informs you about all your incoming and outgoing gold flow. For example, after you open up all your fresh mail in the morning and wonder how much you just earned yourself, Auditor will calculate it all and display the total amount in your chat box.

-Automation: Automatically sells all gray quality items when you speak to a vendor.

-Postal: Opens all your mail at the click of a button.

-Cashstash: Displays your total gold across your entire account in your character panel.

-Mr.Plow: Re-stacks all your items automatically.

-Tinytipwealth: Not really anything super important, but is a pretty cool little addon. Pretty much when you mouse over another player, it will display the highest amount of gold that player has had on them at one time, all in your tooltip.


If any of you have any questions or concerns for me, either leave them in a comment or email me at Veldoran@hotmail.com

How to Make Gold With Jewelcrafting Part 1

Jewelcrafting is what I use to make a large amount of my gold. What I try to do is keep a very large stock of each gem, that includes Common, Rare and Epic gems. I only use the Chalcedony and Bloodstone gems and cut the strength and spell power gems for red and the stam for blue. Believe it or not, these things sell fast because people leveling new alts don't want to drop the cash on rare gems. Next is the rare blue quality gems. With these you're going to want to first off have a decent amount of cuts for each color, if you don't you have no need to worry, just start doing your Jewelcrafting daily on a more consistent basis to get some new cuts. So, now that you have some decent cuts you're going to want to get your hands on some cheap Scarlet Ruby's and Sky Sapphire's for starters. The reason for starting with these is because they sell the fastest for the most profit. Feel free to cut other colors, but I would suggest starting out with these 2 colors before expanding into anything else. Now you want to cut those into Red: Bold and Runed Blue: Solid and Stormy. From my experiences these cuts sell the best. Epic gems, these are actually turning out to be the least profitable gems to mess with because the demand is so high, along with the fact that you get fiercely undercut by competition. But if you get into these you're going to want to cut them into the same gems as the rare blue quality gems. Unless you can get epic gems through something like Alchemy, you should just buy epic gems when the raw versions are really cheap and the cut versions are at the normal or higher price.

Also a few small tips:

-Do your daily Icy Prism cooldown, it is very cheap and can net you some epic gems along with some dragon's eye

-Mix with other professions for maximum profit

-Make sure you do the quest in Howling Fjord at Vengeance Landing to have the chance to cut perfect versions of the uncommon gems for extra profit

-Shadow Crystal's don't sell very well on the auction house as cut versions, so after you have the perfect cut quest done you should cut all your raw shadow crystal's and vendor them all. The regular cuts sell for .50 silver while the perfect versions sell for 1g per.

Frozen Orb to Runed Orb Profit

So after forgetting about this blog for a few months I have been re-inspired and as of now I will be trying to post as often as possible with free, in detail guides and tips on how to make the most out of your professions. No need to fret if you are a new player with no max level professions. So for my first official post I would like to talk about how to make very easy gold with just a few minutes of effort. Now, depending on your server the price of Frozen Orbs may be a little different than mine (Arthas-US) but this is a very basic method that surprisingly most people don't think to manipulate. Now, down to business, you're going to want to go to your closest auction house and buy 4 frozen orbs for somewhere around 16-18 gold each (But don't worry if they are a little bit higher). After you do that you're going to want to head to Dalaran and talk to Frozo the Renowned and trade the 4 Frozen Orbs you bought for 1 Runed Orb. Now most people will just skip to the 245 ToC gear, but some people are still making the Ulduar crafted epics for new alts. Now the reason for these being so fun to sell, is that the supply of these is very low on most servers, therefor you can generally crank the prices up to a high but reasonable price of 150-200g. I wouldn't suggest posting these for anything under 100g, it's fine to do that, but once you dip below 100g you start to lose more profit margin for no reason. So, if all goes well these should sell pretty fast depending on your server and net you an easy 70-100g profit with 2 minutes of work!
