Is JC and Enchanting still profitable?

Is Jewelcrafting and Enchanting profitable nowdays?

My servers price is:

Spirit Dust, ~2.2g each
Mysterious Essence, ~29g per stack
Ethereal Shard, ~47g per stack
Jc rings seems to go for around 45-90g each

Codding the ghost iron ores is like impossible to get over 17g each for them, they go for around 19g per stack on ah.

I don't have a JC / Enchanter yet so I am asking you guys before I take the time to level them up and realise that it was a waste.

 

You put enchants on scrolls, sell on AH.
You cut gems, sell on AH.

That's ALOT more profitable than selling raw enchant mats, gems, or ores.

and use an AHbuddy to sell them.

 

Ok thanks really appreciate it m8

 

typically, what gems are the most profitable to sell?

 

You want many of each color, if you're using an ahbuddy.
edit: single color gems are low on all realms, orange > purple > green on my realms.
But with an ahbuddy, you'll make more & sell faster if you have 10 of 50 colors instead of 500 bold primordial rubys.

 

Soulravager, can you explain me how AHBuddy works than? Because I'm on an ipod and can't look it up atm. How come you make more gold using AHBuddy?

 

Buy a wotlk acc, transfer all gems/enchants/flasks/inks/bars to that character, use AHBuddy for 16 hrs per day to constantly have the lowest auction on the AH, people always buy gems, enchants, flasks during raid etc. compared to manually putting it with a gather once per day, ahbuddy is amazing.

 

i have hundreds of stuff being mailed to me, how can i used auction buddy without it constantly trying to loot all my mail?

 

I think the idea of AHBuddy is to loot all your mail and sell it on auction house

 

Making around 10k a day from standard rare gems so yea its profitable.

 

lol what are "standard rare gems"

 

@ i actually did the "math" in it.. every1 says JC/ENCH makes alot..

i used 50 stacks of Ghost Iron Ore for this test;



a rough calculation;
Spirit dust 19g 60s each stack (i got 9? stacks) = 186g
Mysterious Essence 16g 60s ea. (i got 11) = 182g
purified amethyst (got 1) = 73g 90s
Brilliant ruby 28g 90s ea (got 6) = 173g
Wicked onyx (got 1) = 39g 80s
Champions onyx (got 1) = 6g 85s
Accurate amethyst (got 14) 45g 90s ea = 642g
Sparkling river's heart (got 6) 21g 90s ea = 131g
small ethereal shard (got 8) 9g 95s ea = 79g

Total = 1513,55g

estimated value from selling the 50 stacks of ore raw =1150g

prospecting and then disenchanting made me 365g profit in this case, idk if the gem proc rate is based too much on RNG or not..

 

And why didnt you put enchants on scrolls?

 

Would transfering mats via gbank to my main account, where jc, enchanter, inscriptionist are, be risky? Im debating between doing so or not

 

Dont forget the enchants on scrolls and good gems people want are only if them crafters are 90 with the recipes.
My JC enchanter are 85. So cant get the recipes people want.
I just shuffle, make rings/necklaces. DE, sell mats. When mats stock up. Sell rings/necklaces to ah.

 

Probably.

My shufflers are level 80 and they have every mop recipe except for jade spirit, dancing steel, and the tank one. I ask others for meta cuts.

 

Get recipes learned when do the daily learn thing?
I just recently started back up 3 weeks ago so dont have all. I have tried selling ones can make and sell maybe 1 a day. But Im not using ahbot. Just posting few once a day.

 

Yea I think its 100 days, so it takes some time. Meanwhile, ask a jc in trade. I did and pay 500g for 100 cuts for example.
edit: since you're 85, go to jade forest and farm the turtles with profile?

 

I have recently finished a cycle of mine and will post below the results, I have averaged everything out but you should get the general idea:

Original Materials
250 of each green quality gem
50 each of River's Heart, Primordal Ruby and Sun's Radiance
130 Serpents Eye

Items made & Materials left over
500 Ornate Bands / Shadowfire Necklaces
21 Reflection of the Sea / Lord's Signet / Lionfall's Ring
25ish each of River's Heart, Primordal Ruby and Sun's Radiance

Materials after disenchant and scale up
84 Ethereal Shards
4 Mysterious Essence

Profit selling straight mats
Ethereal Shard @ 43g = 3612g
Excess Gems = 1778g
Etheral Shards and Excess Gems = 5390g

Profit including Primal Diamonds from herb
25 Primal Diamonds @ 225g = 5625g
Ethereal Shards + Primal Diamonds = 11015g

Now I have only been doing this for about 2 weeks and above is not even taking into account that you should look at your market prices and see if it is worth upgrading your enchanting materials and the even more important idea that a lot of your enchanting materials should go onto scrolls which will increase their worth even more. I am sure there are a few more ways to improve the way I am doing it, but using the above and not including enchants on scrolls or anything to do with herbs or primal diamonds you should easily be able to make 5000g a day with a 16 hour gathering profile at around 170nph. Once you start optimising it and adding enchants onto scrolls and selling some rare proc's on your rings and necks, I would say that 8000g with one gatherer a day, just using Enchanting and Jewelcrafting is easily possible. Hope I helped!

 

Why dont you put enchants?
