On some of these statements I kinda would love to see the math, like this one.
Nvm..
Enchanting mats are always a crap shoot when a new patch drops. Mats might be in demand... but at the same time everyone is upgrading their gear and DEing the old stuff, adding more mats to the market.I'm also expecting most ores, hides, and herbs to tank within the first two weeks of the patch.
Blizzard really needs to implement a knowledge point catchup mechanism in 10.1.5. To do this they should take the top 20%* of knowledge points for a given profession and then have a semi-grind (e.g. a slowly decreasing chance of the knowledge items from treasures/drops/gathering over the week) so people who are lower than that can catch up to the bottom of that 20% over a period of a few weeks if they are constantly doing the activity.*I have not seen the curve so I cannot give a proper catchup point so my "top 20%" is just a guess as to where most people are in their pursuit of knowledge.
How to reduce the amount of mettle as JC, and the tip is to «just buy the lariat recipe»? With the price of the recipe and the low crafting cost players offer now its gonna be a guaranteed loss. You might as well just vendor your mettle.
I love how these wrap-ups are only focusing on a few ways to make some gold, and some of the unfriendlies ways possible (knowledge points, mettle, etc etc, awful systems), without never mentioning all the other opportunities that there are in the game. This is definitely not with this guide that people, especially casuals, are going to make any gold.
I love how this pushes the idea of "oh just offer to use insight to guarantee rank 5 lariats" when the lariat is one of the cheapest items out there to recraft. Sure, a signet is cheaper, but holy $%^& we're not talking some engineering piece with multiple capacitors and other stuff here.
If you want to make gold you do anything but what the youtubers say you should do, cause everyone wil be doing the same thing :P (in case you are wondering, i have over 40 mill gold, i havent done that much since this expa) and was able to buy 8 brutosaurs for me and my RL friends (and i actually watched these "goldmakers" to know what i shouldnt focus
well dont buy the titan matrix and upgrade + disenchant, just tried it out, didnt work, all items were still blue and gave dust + shards, no crystals, got maxed out enchanting
