Wondering what peoples success have been with milling all your herbs and turning them into darkmoon cards? Have you made more profit than what you would have just selling the herbs?
yes and no, it depends on demand. atm there are so many cards on my server that raw mats are selling for more
In short: No. But I can't sell all the herbs in bulk. Call me paranoid, but that's a #1 way to get suspected for boting right there IMHO. I sell a few stacks of herbs on the AH each day, mill most of the rest and make cards or glyphs. Just hope you don't get "of stones" cards - they sell for nothing on my server, and you're lucky if you can push them out at 3-500g per. Recently started making flasks and pots as well. There's almost never any pots on AH on my server so that actually bring in a nice profit with 3-500g per stack of 5. Other days down to 150g for 5. Pots can proc aswell if you use a potmaster to craft them, aswell as flasks and that compared to the cards are profit. You can however get lucky on your card procs and end up with alot of winds/waves. Those sell for quite a bit on my server, usually 1500-2500g depending on how many other people have posted.
Honestly its all RNG. If you get alot of stones you lost profit. If you get waves you made like 300% profit over raw. Everything else you prolly make 150% extra profit. To me its worth not flooding the market with herbs. I can turn 100's of stacks and tons of life into a few decks rather than post all that on the AH and flood the market. If you have private buyers, sell direct. If you do AH route, do cards. People make them for a reason, profit. I currently make about 9 decks. Two stones/four hurricane/two volcano/and one tsunami. Thats over 120k at minimum for maybe a few days farming 6-8 hrs a day, not bad. But I did have to buy a few cards that wouldn't proc and I sold quite a few that I got multiples of. For instance I think it costs around 1.2K worth of mats to make a card. I made 5 Ace of Waves which I later sold for 4.5K each because its high demand. Its all RNG. I also got tons of stone which sell anywheres from 200g-700g which means I lost money on those cards. For the rest of the extras I made a bit of profit selling them from 1.2-1.8k each. All in all I expect to make atleast 30k extra than just selling raw. But the thing is I am still getting rid of all the herbs I farmed which to me is 100% profit. It is a bit more work. Some people just want to bot, log in and sell. Myself I enjoy playing the game, just not the grind so I dont mind playing the market also.
Personally I do both. I have 2 solid bots that bring in a lot of herbs/ore and with one i mill/prospect it all down, and from the other bot i AH it all. I've made prob. 13 cards now in the span of 3 to 4 weeks. Depends on your server tho. I'd say if you have a wholesale buyer, do that! Also try to see what they are going for on the AH. If it's too low sometimes i just mill them instead of posting.
I made TONS of money with cards. However, it's not profitable anymore (considering the time you spend milling, creating ect) since the retarded spawnrate in Uldum destroyed whiptail's prices. Stackprice went from 150+ to 50 now.
Its only temporary. Give it a week or two and prices will be back up. They fixed the spawnrate a few days ago.
