SM Drops Nerfed

Grinding for gold/silver is definitely NOT the recommended way to get the 900 gold for an epic mount. My level 60 Undead Warrior has financed TWO epic mounts (his own and that of my soon-be-level-60 Night Elf Druid, and the third epic mount for my Tauren Druid is already 50% paid) just through farming Rich Thorium Veins, which have a 3% (or 1 out of 33 Thorium Ores) chance to drop the much sought after Arcane Crystals. Prices for Arcane Crystals are still very stable (~25 gold on Horde and ~20 gold on Alliance side) that I call them the "Stone of Jordan of WOW" now :) The Thorium Bars sell very well, too, as do stacks of 20 Dense Sharpening Stones. Rich Thorium Veins also have a good chance to drop Azerothian Diamonds, Blue Sapphires and Star Rubys which all sell well.

MINING is the profession that makes you rich, very rich! :D

Except farming the right mobs will earn you farm more money. As I said, Dragonkin will make you good money, espcially the Cobalt Mageweavers that drop things like Recipe: Greater Arcane Protection Potion, Recipe: Greater Stoneshield Potion, Schematic: Arcanite Dragonling, Formula: Enchant Bracer - Superior Stamina, assoreted blues, greens, and greys, and the thing that Hunters really want, Mature Blue Dragon Sinew. Also, while hunting for my Mature Blue Dragon Sinew, I earned about 300g in the course of a week (and I had gotten 2 of the Arcane Protection and Arcanite Dragonling that I saved for my characters and other guild members where I probably could have pulled down another 500g+ from the AH and I did pull down about 300g from selling an Orb of Deception and Lord Alexander's Battle Axe). And as a skinner, there's even more money to be had as well.
