Samadan10.1 InvestmentsA few investments I've made:

Khaz'gorite ore - expecting a rise with weapon recrafts in 10.1

Servevite ore and gemdust - both rose quite a bit when the ring came out in 10.0.7. Devs just confirmed the ring isn't going anywhere and will be bis all season for some classes, so that in combination with the new transmute recipe will both drive gemdust up (which in turn drives servevite up)

Enchanting mats - used for new gear upgrade system

Awakened order - honestly I just figured it's used for everything so why not. By far the best results so far

Overall I spent about 1 mil gold 2 weeks ago and I'm up about 400k nowI've bought some flavor pockets. They are 45k each but at the height of S1 they were 90k+ on my server so I hope to make some gold back on them.Resonant CrystalsOribos Exchangeu/friendc137
Here is a way you can potentially convert your flightstones into gold with the release of 10.1

For 150 flightstones you can buy an empowered flightstone from the enchanting vendor in Loam, turn it into a titan training matrix V then use it to transform a blue piece of crafted gear into a 395 epic gear then DE for resonant crystal.

It only takes 10 dusts and 1 shard to make so with current prices on EU it should be 550g profit per cast on bracers. Blue gear don't require a spark so you can pump crystals out till the price hit the ground.

This is already possible with titan training matrix IV but there's no way to farm them in mass and the ilvl is not high enough to guarantee a resonant crystal.

Here comes the best part, you can put out public work orders for titan matrix 5 and funnel the whole supply of flightstones on the server to you for cheap. Sure, some people will keep their flightstones to upgrade their gear but most people just want gold. Besides, flightstones will be raining from the sky anyway.

I advise you do this right at the start of the patch while all the stockpilers are still holding their breath for a spike on week 2.

I wouldn't be so bullish on enchanting mats.

Silken gemdust went to the moon because only a few people were in on it.

Enchanting mats were supposed to crash with the sheer amount of gear coming from the reach. Yet they went up in price because of all the stockpiling people have been doing.

That only means the supply has been moved to a different point in time where you think demand will be enough to swallow it. But demand is heavily hindered by crest acquisition so it will be a slow increase.

Meanwhile people are still pumping out millions of dust, shards and crystals every day.Yeah I would expect next week prices might even go down a little with lots of lower tier goblins panic-selling since there's not gonna be a ton of demand without content week 1 of patch. 5/9 should be the big day.Penguin2gt How to Turn Artisan's Mettle Into GoldArtisan's Mettle
Hello,

I am miner/jewelcrafter, currently sitting on over 5000 Artisan's Mettle and have no clue on what and how should I use it. Is there any good way to spend it?

Thanks Goblins!
Assuming you're on a populated server, if you aren't already able to craft primary stat gems, just wait till you can craft them. Turn some mettle into insight, then guarantee R3 main stat gems using insight.

Otherwise if you went down neck/ring tree buy Lariat recipe and start offering 405/418 guarantees for a fee. I went through 1000 mettle in 4 days that way.Manthieus Illustrious Insight Making the Most from Alt ArmiesI've done it. Very time-consuming to make money thru farming WQs/dragonraces but I make about 10k gold per char by logging twice a week for like 12-15m each time. Just pure gold, no AH. I do this with a lot of alts and I can't say this would be as good g/hr as other methods, specially thru how it takes a long while to level and gear these alts (you only see all gold WQs at around 375-390 ilvl).

edit: I'll add this: Pincel de lienzo elegante

It's one time lootable treasure, no prerequisites, just go grab it. Alt related as it can be looted on each. I'm just doing my race runs on each char now, picking that up on my way. Might as well pick Bolsa mística sometime while in Waking for each char too, it's not really economy related as it's 34slot bop bag but well, free extra slots gotta count for something.
If professions based, then an alt army is the most reasonable way to focus on a single profession to max each specialization tree separatedly

Most people who started a profession at launch have already maxed their trees or are near to maxing them. There is no economic benefit to trying to catch up because it’s impossible…unless you spend 8 hours a day server hopping while grabbing dirt piles, expedition backpacks and killing rares.

The basics of crafting R5 stuff for professions, aside from inspiration procs, consist on maxing a specialization tree, the basic node for skill, the inspiration node, and last, the resourcefulness tree (this one can wait)

So for example, if you were to start doing alchemy, you would need 3 characters:

one for the potions tree
one for the phials tree
one for the reagents/transmutation tree

Inscription?

One for staffs
One for reagents (inks, runed writhebark, chilled rune)
one for Runes (Vantus, Howling, Buzzing)
One for Treatises

For blacksmithing, you would need a character for each of the sub-nodes to prevent point wastage. So for Weaponsmithing, you would ideally max the hafted tree on one character, and the blades tree on another, while also maxing hammer control and poignant plans on each.

On all professions you should ideally be able to get to 60 skill with around 100 Knowledge Points , give or take, acquired from leveling, treasures and the once-a-time trainer, which is not enough to max a spec but should get you to about 50-70% of the points needed. Needing 150-250 points to max a spec instead of 500-600 for a whole profession puts things into perspective.I have 3 BS alts on the isle of thunder making daily crafts. I used to have 3 alts making bags in their max level garrison but they've been moved to the panda farm producing feasts for the guild achievement that I sell for a flat rate. I also sell my gnome alt army for the gnome classy guild achievement. I have 12 max level toons at present. It's so easy to level a toon now and with the latest area it's easy to gear them.

It all depends on how much gold you want. I haven't paid for my sub in cash since WoD. I invest heavily into tokens when they are cheap. You can only have 10 tokens at a time on you so I turn it into battlenet balance and then use that for whatever.

Transmog is my largest overall profit path until a new expansion comes out then I just sell raw resources until they get severally undercut the whole time I got my transmog sales in the background. Crafted mog sells for more but takes time to sell. There are unique crafts in all the professions that sell well. Find your niche and go for it.Knowledge Point Catch Up
So now that 10.1 is 1 week away I decided to level up BS and Enchanting on my new main (got Minning/Herb on my previous main), and wanted to know if there's any catchup mechanism for KP for crafting profs? (afaik theres one for gathering profs, dropping knowledge items till you are catched up or something).

If there isn´t any catchups, then what should I do?It’s easier to get into professions today than many think. You can get a very decent amount of knowledge points right off the bat, especially if you got some BoA rep ready.

Last week I leveled a new alt and I gathered 152 points for LW and 99 for skinning within the last two days before the weekly reset. I have to note that I had lots of rep ready to get Iskaara and Maruuk renown up. The rest of the rep I gathered through quests and WQ’s. This immediatly allows you to specialize into certain items.

I also 'recently' started a Blacksmith/Engineer, it hit 70 March 7th, it has over 300 points in Blacksmithing and today it looks like this

That’s only after 7 out of 20 weekly resets. Yes others will be ahead, but they are far from out of reach considering the expansion will see at least 4 seasons in total. I can now join the weapon crafting extravaganza of season 2. In March people were asking the same questions, and I can only advice to start investing in profs when you can, it’ll eventually pay itself back.Manthieus Catch up for Knowledge is more passive rather than direct once you have already done it once. For example, there are knowledge rewards for reaching milestones with each major faction. This is considerably faster for alts.

Artisans Consortium Rep is now also account wide, where a big chunk of early knowledge points can be obtained. Meaning Alt can basically buy this soon as they have enough artisan's Mettle.

First time crafts are CONSIDERABLY cheaper to craft for than they were at the start of Dragonflight, and with the ease and quantity of patterns you can quickly get, mostly because of the reasons already mentioned, and even many super cheap end of patch patterns from the AH (pvp gear I am looking at you).

The obvious answer is "Farm Dirt" but this is bait imo. It is still just as difficult to find, just as rare and if that is the only reason you are flying around, you are wasting a lot of time doing this.

I would guess if you focus on the above you should easily be able to get 150-200 knowledge in your first week with any profession, even on a fresh toon.Further Reading/r/woweconomyDiscord Server
