      For a "live" estimate of potential profit for milling stacks of herbs, see the following:

      [HR][/HR]
      X = Amount of Stacks of Herbs
      -30 = AH Price of a Stack of Herbs
      6 = AH Price of an [Ink of Dreams]
      40 = AH Price of a [Starlight Ink]

      =SUM(C1:C3) is the estimated PROFIT from selling inks from milling X stacks of herbs.
      =SUM(A6:B6) is the estimated PROFIT from vendoring shoulder enchants from milling X stacks of herbs.

      Copy and paste the following into a blank workbook in Excel, then modify the RED values based on your realm's auction house prices.

      [HR][/HR][table]
      [tr]
      [td]X[/td]
      [td]-30[/td]
      [td]=SUM(A1*B1)[/td]
      [/tr]
      [tr]
      [td]=SUM(A1*4.5)[/td]
      [td]6[/td]
      [td]=SUM(A2*B2)[/td]
      [/tr]
      [tr]
      [td]=SUM(A1*1.5)[/td]
      [td]40[/td]
      [td]=SUM(A3*B3)[/td]
      [/tr]
      [tr]
      [td]EMPTY[/td]
      [td]EMPTY[/td]
      [td]=SUM(C1:C3)[/td]
      [/tr]
      [tr]
      [td]EMPTY[/td]
      [td]EMPTY[/td]
      [td]EMPTY[/td]
      [/tr]
      [tr]
      [td]=SUM(A2/3)[/td]
      [td]=SUM(18.75-B2*(3))[/td]
      [td]=SUM(A6*B6)[/td]
      [/tr]
      [/table]
      [HR][/HR]NOTE: The estimated profit is based off of an estimated [Ink of Dreams]x4.5 and [Starlight Ink]x1.5 from each stack of herbs.

      Thank you, but i personally think not many of the people on here will understand/use this method to calculate the profit. Since they use public milling profiles which have a maximum AH Buyout of 30G/stack.
      Anyway good job and thanks.

      It's more for us masochists out there that have to monitor our gold like silly school children, counting every penny; or, at least trying to ensure we allocate appropriate funds on the correct characters.

      Personally, I don't use an AH Bot, but for those that do, yea, they won't find much use of this.

      It would be easier if you would just upload the sheet yourself, because I didn't understand shit about what you wrote.

      If you don't understand what he wrote furyz0r then him uploading a sheet won't help you either.
