Tailoring Gold Guide
Spellthread
The traditional way of thinking is farm the mats needed, make it and sell it on ah. However, a lot of time you can buy the mats to make the spell threads on the AH and resell the thread on the AH for 50g+ profit.
Bags
n my server, you can buy bolts of Netherweave cloth for 3g a stack, each stack makes 1 Netherweave Bag (plus the rune thread) I easily sell around 200 bags a week at around 6g-12g each.
Imbued Netherweave Bags are another way to make money with all that cloth you get from the AH or in general game play. The hard part is finding the silk on the AH where you can turn a profit. Its one thing that you would most likely want to add to your snatch list on the auctioneer when it does its scans.
Frostweave Bag will start to follow as a gold making option once the Frostweave cloth drops in price. These cost 90 cloth and 12 infinite dust. Depending on the price of the mats on your server, you should (in time) be able to purchase cloth/dust and craft these for some easy profit.
There are other level bags that could give some profit but this specific bag tends to give the biggest profit per sale.
A final ‘normal’ bag you can make for profit is the Primal Mooncloth Bag. These usually go for around quite a bit, but in order to make a decent profit you would need to be a Mooncloth specialist tailor to proc two cloth every xmute. This would take 16 days to make one bag, but would turn about 200-150 profit. If you are not a Mooncloth specialist you can possibly buy cool downs from guild members or people in trade channel.
Profession bags are another area you can make money, but they do not sell as quickly. Some to try are the Bag of Jewels, Spellfire Bag, Mycah”s Botanical Bag (if you have the Sporeggar rep of revered) and the class specific bag, Ebon Shadowbag. However they take quite a bit of time to sell, and my recommendation would be to sell the pure mats, for less relisting fees and a quicker profit.
Specialty Cloth Xmutes
You can usually buy the mats and xmute the cloth of your specialty (Mycah”s Botanical Bag) and double your money. Look up the price of mats on your ah, and the price cloth is going for. Since you proc two of the cloth you can generally make a profit. For example on my server you can generally get the mats for one xmute for 100g, and the cloth sells for about 150-200g each.
Craftables for DE
There are several items you can craft for DE profit. In order to determine what will work on your server you would need to compare the total cost of the item to craft and see if it falls in your acceptable DE value (for more information look at Enchanting)
The main items I use for DE purposes:
- Brown Linen Robe
- Azure Silk Cloak
- White Bandit Mask
- Runecloth Belt
- Runecloth Headband
- Netherweave Bracers
- Netherweave Belt
- Frostwoven Gloves
- Frostwoven Belt
