I am ...I must say I completely agree with you here. I am on a "Low Population" EU server and the gold making potential with Crafting is lucrative. Gathering on the other hand is petty. I know this as a fact as I purchase 1000's of ore's for little amount's of gold compared to what I'm earning once all the ore has been shuffled/processed. Herb's are also a joke, the cheapest herbs are all MoP herbs and they sell for under 1g each every time i search guaranteed! This makes a glyph cost under 15g and they sell EVERYDAY for 250g+. So making 50k a week is easy. Making a 130k a week like Mr Lewts here is a bit more tricky as he dabbles in a lot more markets than the average Joe and Transmog is not a market I'm brave enough to try on my low pop realm.Sheabethellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698349594093853039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-16929139233574374852013-02-01T08:06:13.185-05:002013-02-01T08:06:13.185-05:00I'd really like to see this realm where gems a...I'd really like to see this realm where gems and glyphs <b>never</b> sell.<br /><br />The server I play on is classified as Low Population by Blizzard. <a href="www.realmpop.com" rel="nofollow">Realmpop.com</a> lists it in the bottom 20% in population of <i><b>all US servers.</b></i> I did exactly what you suggest not doing and I made 130k last week. <br /><br />Who do you think buys all the ore and herbs? People consuming it and not using it to turn profit? Rarely, and they're not the ones buying the bulk of it. If you're not making <b><i>single sale all day</i></b>, I don't care what server you're on, you're doing something wrong. I will not change my statement, in fact you make more gold per hour on small servers with crafting professions, because the % markup is generally about equal, and the same % of a higher mat cost means more profit per craft.<br /><br />Farming may be <b>more beneficial</b> on a smaller server, but it's still a waste of time. To quote my article: "Gathering is for the people who don't want to learn how to <b>properly</b> maximize a crafting profession". If you don't make a single sale all day, you're not doing it right.Phat Lewtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283348281162957528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-23581977322304898002013-01-31T21:12:54.482-05:002013-01-31T21:12:54.482-05:00Your comment seems a bit "elitist".

On the same server I sell out any ore, herb or skin I list completely. You may have to qualify your statement. Gathering certainly are high profit potential professions on low population realms where there is a dearth of gathered mats.Scuggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331341805101112855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-61439890969730853152013-01-31T13:35:28.053-05:002013-01-31T13:35:28.053-05:00I disagree.

A character need only be level 80 to do daily CDs, not 90, and even then gathering is a waste of time. You could spend the 3 (or 1.5 if you have the gloves) seconds <i>plus traveling time</i>cutting 2 gems for profit or milling a few herbs for more of a gold difference than mining/herbing/skinning. Much better things you could be doing with your time, and those seconds add up.

In the end WoW is a game for your enjoyment. I do dailies even though they're terrible for gold, but I enjoy gearing up and whatnot, and that's a necessity for it. If your end goal is to make gold though, gathering is not the best way to make it by far.Phat Lewtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283348281162957528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-25689619688693997702013-01-31T11:57:55.603-05:002013-01-31T11:57:55.603-05:00Hi, I'm Anonymous and I am a gathering addict....Hi, I'm Anonymous and I am a gathering addict.<br /><br />Seriously tho, I too have a gathering toon. There's something about it that I enjoy. I flip on the TV and after I've posted all my crafted auctions I fire up my routes addon and just fly around a zone from node to node, half watching TV and half watching my mini map. There are a few lower level mats that are bottle necks when leveling a profession that can provide decent returns. Other than that, after a couple passes in a zone you've got a few 100g worth of AH material to sell/smelt/prospect/mill etc OR you have saved yourself a little gold for your next round of crafting auctions.<br /><br />Gathering alone won't make you WoW rich, at least not in any sort of timely fashion, but if you enjoy it then more power to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-18883656746829060222013-01-30T18:04:02.677-05:002013-01-30T18:04:02.677-05:00Yeah the Ironpaw trade is another great way to mak...Yeah the Ironpaw trade is another great way to make gold. <a href="www.theunderminejournal.com" rel="nofollow"> The Undermine Journal</a> has a section under Gathering -> Cooking to help determine the lowest cost of an Ironpaw Token :)Phat Lewtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283348281162957528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110501988676544027.post-13639243912783053672013-01-30T13:44:40.640-05:002013-01-30T13:44:40.640-05:00I'm with you on the Tillers!
