JMTC Wow Gold Forum

Well at the moment, taking a look at the quantities generated from those DEs, you'll get almost 3 times as much essence as dust.

Big caveat, insufficient sample size.

I experimented doing this the way we all did saronite: make the rings, and disenchant them. Bought ~800g worth of ore, figured out a spreadsheet (minus the disenchanting %, b/c wowhead doesn't have them up yet). I was more interested in given [x] investment, what will [y] return be? I bought the obsidium ore at 8g10s per. After disenchanting everything, I'm left with about 860g worth of mats / uncut gems. I'd give or take 100g given market volatility.

For now, I think the market's just too unstable to reliably do this. 8g10s per ore is below average on my realm, as it averages beteween 12g-14g per ore. If you can get the ore cheap, wonderful. I could blow up the sample and see what happens, but given the small margin, I'm not really enthused about doing it.

I will grant that I didn't try AHing the JC stuff rather than disenchanting it. That's something I'll look into tomorrow, as I noticed when leveling other professions (such as blacksmithing), there's a strong market for those crafted BOEs.

I might try doing this with elementium, as it's running around 6g cheaper per ore.

Epic Late edit to add some numbers:
Obsidium 124 Prospects, 184 common gems, 8 rare gems.

Just selling uncommon gems atm, anticipate a switch to elementium in a couple days.

I have 2000 elementium ore to prospect tomorrow 12/9/2010 so I will post the results.


is pyrite ore prospectable? I have around 500 of that.

I was operating on elementium ore the whole time- sorry if it wasn't clear. And I think Pyrite is prospectable at 525 JC, which will be available once you have done 4 JC dailies.

Yeah your right, managed to pick up 16 stacks even cheaper, 70g a stack, got to love impatient sellers. Making a killing out of this investment with the green gems, was also thinking of saving some blue gems to level, but ill just stick with the sell policy, while prices are all over the place, read a few posts already of people getting burned for holding stuff

At a quick glance I thought I read "Absurdium". My tired and bleary eyes have stared at the computer too much the past few days

My toon is a 525 miner and 450 enchanter. I have access to a 450 JCer on my girlfriends account.

My question is, I'm really good at mining and can do it all day while I'm doing other stuff. I've been making great gold the past couple days gathering and selling Obsidium ore or bars.

After reading this thread I was wondering if I should take advantage of my gf's JCer with all the Obsidium ore I get.

Currently getting 12g-19g per ore = 240g-380g per stack.

If so, should I DE the crafted items? Vendor? Or AH?

Thank you for your time.

Thank you so much for the quick reply and great information. It really gives me a better understanding and insight into how this works. For now I will continue gathering.
