I thought of the Alchemy transmute thing when I saw this thread's topic.

How many Alchemists out there are making a killing making Titanium? I've sold 19 bars already.

I bought 112 Saronite Bars, enough to transmute 14 times. The Mastery procs gave me 5 additional bars, making it a total of 19 Titanium Bars. Now, the AH takes a couple of percentage off of any sale, so I got around 19g from each bar sold.

The market on my server is pitched a bit lower than Mazra's, but I'm generally able to cherry-pick about 15 Titanium bars per day (sell for about 18g) by buying all the Saronite I see on the AH (bars under 30, ore under 15). If I'm too tired to think but not tired enough to sleep, it's now a toss-up between herbing Storm Peaks and mining Sholazar.

As for the Saronite shuffle itself, I've cut my disenchanting way back because all the added instancing has led to more ID being supplied than demanded (note to those who are still thinking that the DE option has anything to do with this, it still doesn't - the price of greens has dropped in half and the number available on the AH has tripled - i.e. there's a glut of /everything/). It's still profitable, around 25-30%, but that's not enough to justify investing much time. I'm down to about 5 minutes a day, which I spend while I'm in the LFG queue on my hunter.

Now I just need to level up Herbalism again and I'll get my share of the 50g each Frost Lotus market that runs right now.

I don't know when, but it seems to me the drop rate is /way/ down on Frost Lotus. I get less than one per circuit of Storm Peaks, and I'm sure it used to be more back when my guild was in Naxx. I think there's a good reason it's 50g besides the increased flask demand.

This made me about 25,000g total a few months back, but I fell off lately. Ever since 3.3 I'm not sure how the infinite dust market is. When I was back selling it was stacks of dust for 80-95g/stack. Now they are down to 23-35g/stack. I'm sure the cycle still works (it's been ages since I logged on my JC'er). And now my enchanter has transfered factions. Made such a killing off this for a while though. There was a period of golden days when eternal earths were dirt cheap like 2g/each in bulk. Infinite dust was still over 100g/stack, and saronite was around 21g/stack.

Now everyone knows about this method. Cost of dust has bottomed out due to disenchanting in the LFG tool. Even non-enchanters have 7 stacks in the bank simply from chain running heroics for 3 days. Demand for eternal earth is high. Demand for rare gems has dropped (I'd estimate dropped by 60% considering the iLvl of loot dropping now, and the fact most people gem that loot with epic gems).

Short version, this market used to be way better. But for the dedicated person I'm sure theres still profits to be made in there. I don't miss my days of disenchanting 150-300 items in a row though =O I never did get the macro for it, which was probably stupid of me.
