When I hit 85, I dropped herbalism for JC and started to make buckets of cash. Prospecting is almost a "Give me money" button now. I don't even have to cut gems.
When cata launched I had maybe 100g to my name. Now I have like 23k gold and I am earning about 2k-3k per day selling raw gems. I don't even have to play the AH much. I just prospect what I have and check the AH for cheap ores, then post everything.
Before a week and a half ago I never seriously tried to get gold. I would hoard all my mats for alts until the mats were lost in the mail. Except I still have a bank tab full of BC fish. That's the way it's been for the last six years.
Now I am selling Truegold and cut red gems, plus excess herbs and elementals. Selling raw gems did not do much for me, except on the matching day of the JC daily.
I have not been buying any mats so everything I sell is profit. Fortunately Tribade enjoys mining. And about an hour ago Elynittria made level 85 by herbing.
What I should do is investigate if there are any flasks/potions etc. that sell well. We have far too many herbs to auction. I would welcome suggestions for which flasks/potions would be good options.
