How are you guys becoming filthy rich?

Update!

I think I have my money-making scheme down pat for this patch. Raw gems are no longer the free payday it once was. Now I have to work a bit more for it.

It still starts with Prospecting, and a lot of ores. I AH the uncut rares, but I first check current stocks and pricing of a few of the cut ones (like Mystic Amberjewel. Inferno Ruby sells really well, at high prices. A few lucky prospects of those alone can finance a lot of ore buying.

I turn the uncut common gems into disenchantables (necks and rings). Carnelian Spikes are a goldmine when disenchanted. It takes a LONG time to craft the JC items and disenchant them, but the profit is amazing. If I had unlimited time, I can see myself making 20k+ gold/day. As it is, I can easily do about 5k with maybe 45 mins of work. The only thing that slows it down is that I am on a low pop server so sales can be very slow.

I never liked playing the AH, and since gem prices tanked I have not been selling anything. I am sitting on a pile of truegold but it seems the mats are worth more than the selling price. I have a lot of ore and gems but I still have some characters who have not maxed engineering and my enchanter still has a ways to go (480 at the moment). I have been crafting rings and necks for enchanting mats but they are used internally. Maybe there is some market for enchants though I tend to doubt it, since we don't have the best ones yet.

Most of our material I farm, but we use a lot of cloth and it gets bought. Because of this I am running at a net loss, eating into prior gold reserves. Thus I am not becoming filthy rich.
