Beginner Strategy

This is my new strategy for making money in WoW, and so far it has been pretty lucrative. Its not a strategy for beginners, but a strategy that takes advantage of others beginning professions. Specifically Enchanting.

Nikodhemus is a Tailor/Enchanter. The purpose of taking these two professions together is that you can make items to disenchant, to get materials for enchanting. Both professions are pretty easy to level up together, but don't forget that other people can use those materials to level each profession seperately. I've already mentioned the success I've had with Silk Cloth (which is still very successful, except that now the Cloth is prohibitively expensive, bolt still sell at 1g or more!). Now the idea is to make low level Tailoring items just to break and sell the mats.

Watching market trends is a big part of working the AH for money. I looked up Strange Dust, and noticed that people were trying to sell it for 9g EACH. Not per stack, but per item! The first mistake here, is that people don't buy something like Strange Dust by single units, like they might by Shards. Dust of any flavor is used in multiples of 2 to 6, so when leveling, you need A LOT. Second, that is a price that the market just will not hold. If powerleveling, you need approximately 125 Strange Dust; at 9g, that's over 1125g, just to get to level 50!

So, I checked AH for Linen cloth, and 12 found stacks for 1g90 each. That turns into 60 bolts, which turns into 30 Leather Gloves, which turned into 26 Strange Dust and 7 magic essence. Shipped it all back to my Nikto the Bank Alt, and sold the Dust for 2g each, clearing a NICE profit. I just bought another 12 stacks of Linen for less than before (always check the Bid price, might be MUCH lower!) and transfered it into over 40 Strange Dust. We'll see how I do!
