Patch 4.3 High Earners

Epic Gems

I’m making up to 1,800g per cut by buying raw, cutting and posting.  It’s a risky strategy, as epic gem prices can’t remain 5k each forever.  But if you enjoy the high risk gamble (not investment!), go for it.

Enchanting Scrolls

Seems supply isn’t meeting demand and enchanting scrolls are low supply / high price on my server.  At the same time, I found less than 20 righteous orbs on the server auction house, going for half their normal price.  I scooped them all up.  Demand for alts/ twinks enchants like Crusader will return after the rush on mains has slowed.

Inferno Rubies

I bought a guildbank tab full of them at about 30g and gently slowly resold them at 50g before 4.3 hit the servers. They’re now at a massive high of 190g each.  I want my 50g ones back, lol.

Glyphs

Not selling at such high prices as previous, but still a good turnover by volume.

Rare gems

Still a small, steady profit

Herbs

Again selling at a steady pace.

Ores

Prices have gone through the ceiling.  Are all the farmers at the Darkmoon Faire?  My titanium all sold out immediately for astronomical prices.

Pets

Some have doubled in price since 5.0 announcement, others I can’t sell at all.  I have 15 black bloody tabby cats spare!

Spellthreads

Disappointingly low

Leg armors

Volatile.  With a 4,000g spread.  Careful when you sell, stay patient.  Non leatherworkers with a passion for high risk could try setting up as a buy low / sell high temporary factory, but run the risk of buying too many.

Don’t like risk?  Stick with farming and gathering, and day trading in commodities like cloth, herbs, and volatiles.
