One JC recipe = mass profits?Follow

I am not a JC but I am a tank. That ring is fantastic. Stick a +24 Stam blue gem in there and get the socket bonus and the ring gives you a tremendous amount of Strenth, Stam, and 20 defense rating to boot. Better than most of the blue quest reward tanking rings I have seen so far!

You should be able to make a LOT of money on that, especially since Eternal Earth is cheap.

Depending on the costs of eternal shadows on your server, Shadowmight Ring, is great too for DE'ing.

1 earth & 1 shadow to make.

Every once in a while on my server, shadows will be as cheap/cheaper as the earths. When that's the case, I'll buy those out as well.

While, in general, the idea is good, on my server it doesn't work. It seems that people on Wildhammer are stuffed with t4+ tanking rings cause I had hard time selling that stuff. Not to mention competition from other JC, because of cheap mats per proc in JC ratio.

Meta gems sell even worse though. Especially trainer recipies, since transmutes are no longer on cd, every alch stacks mats and make like 10 at a time, flooding the market.

I have to say DE is the only way to go. People are enchanting like crazy, most guilds started to raid atm, so everybody wants their gear enchanted.

Eternal Shadow begins to overtake Eternal Earth in abundance when the mining market begins to mature. Shadow has been the cheapest around for quite a while on my realm because Saronite nodes yield mostly Shadow. And I've been riding the miners hard to dig all the Saronite they can out of the ground for prospecting.

A market that focusses primarily on Cobalt will have much lower prices for Eternal Earth though.

I find it interesting that in Wrath, Essences are selling for double the price of Shards. TBC, Essences never got over 1/4 of the price of Shards. I suppose there's just so many more craftable Blues getting converted to shards (or something.... geez) -- it seems like DEing greens like that ring are the way to go.

I was actually worried about the JC profit margin when you couldnt walk in Sholazar without drowning in Saronite nodes. Now that the gem market has stabalized, prospecting is still valuable and cutting is even moreso. Add DEing in there and you've diversified your economic portfolio quite a bit.

Got enough dirt to make 17 rings (avg 5.75g per dirt 204g total) and results from DE were -

infinite dust = 40 (4g each) = 160g
greater cosmic essence = 5 (27g each) = 135g
dream shard = 2 (13g each ave) = 26g

So 204g investment, 321g worth of mats (actually 305 after AH 5% selling fee taken out) for a net of 101g potential profit (assuming I sell all the chanter mats instead of burning them leveling chanting/tailoring) plus a bunch of skill-ups in JC to boot.

Not spectacular but not a bad turn around, especially seeing as my JC scored all those skill-ups (and the ring is still yellow ATM).

Well, I've been checking the AH every day or every second day now for more eternal earth. Eternal shadow seems to be easier to get at <6.5G per eternal now, but I don't want to buy too many of them and get stuck without earth.

Really though, I've literally made hundreds of rings so far. I sold and sold until the dust market started to fall(90G a stack) then the large essences(185G a stack) and simply stopped selling. Apparently, without my steady supply the demand begins to exceed, as prices are now back to 150G for a stack of dust and 250G for a stack of essences.

This is good. I was getting in quite the dilemna where a bit of slacking from selling dust + an excess of buying cheap weekend eternals had left me with almost 3k of enchanting materials(18 stacks of dust, 6 stacks of essences + 20 dream shards). I've now sold/used about half of that, so a few days of selling now and I should be able to get back into the swing of things.

In other news, I'm not sure how cost effective it is, but I was keeping all my dream shards to use for leveling up JC even more when I got the blue random enchant lvl 78 ring. I was actually able to cut a profit on them, selling at 125G each for kinds that weren't up on the AH. Mileage may vary though, so you might want to check your server first.

Also check out crystallized earth and shadow on the AH, on my server they tend to send for less than 1/10 of the sell price of a eternal.

It didn't occur to me before to make and DE that ring, but after getting upwards of 5dusts, and 2 essences, JC just got profitable for me again. Thanks for the tip.
