Oh noes - I borked the economyFollow

I used to skin and sell the leathers and armor kits, but that market has mostly died off. Even the two new drums that anyone can use are poor sellers.

I now have all my alts mine and herb - all levels of all the herbs and ores/bars sell extremely well. Plus mining nets some gems which tend to sell well also. It's rare that any are returned from the AH.

And yes, some of the lower level ores sell better than the higher levels - this is due, I think, to the intensive spots of leveling a BS and perhaps JC (not sure as I have yet to do that profession). I've found that Iron, Mithril and Thorium bars sell for the most until Titansteel, however I never run past a node if I have time as even the lowly copper sells quick and for good profit as we stated earlier. Truesilver sells nicely too, but is harder to farm due to rarity of nodes compared to others.

Some of the lower level herbs can sell for a lot more than the mid-level herbs as well. Haven't hit the top end of herbalism just yet - close though.

I found it more practical to just take which nodes you get without trying to focus on a certain ore/herb (unless you really need a certain one) and just sell them as they all go. I try to group 20 per stack but they all sell no matter the stack size.

Titansteel is limited via cooldown but the nodes are so rare/over-farmed that I'm glad if I get the minimum (6 titanium ores) I need to make my 1-bar a day. But the price of these have dropped from 200-250g to 100-150g of late.

My alts pay their own way while still helping to fill the coffers (coin and mats) of the main, who is now a dual crafter.
