im rolling a worgan druid as well... i already have the cloth heirlooms, sp staff and sp trinkets and im going boomkin/resto so im thinking ill just stick with that.
Where's notworksafe? No guild advancements till Cata according to blue post. Well, all that's left to do these next two months for me is make lots and lots of money.

i have an 80 with mining skill maxed out. is mining still a good way to make money?
Interfectum said:
Selling saronite ore alone isn't going to make you a lot of money. I think cobalt ore is worth even more. :lol
Personally, i get my money with quests, selling Dragon's eyes from my JC daily, and selling epic gems cut, also from JC. They are still worth something like 100-120g each and i can get all the raw gems from emblems or my alchemist alt.
I think Mining really needs to be paired with something like JC to make it churn the money out. Having an Alchemist alt transmute the uncut gems into epic stuff is also the way to go; unfortunately not many people have the time or desire to get another character or two to 80 and max out their professions.
That doesn't mean you can't spend an hour a day going around and mining ores to sell on the AH though. If you're so inclined to do that you'd at least earn 100g a day, though it requires the effort of running around for the nodes.

I somewhat agree, though if it's any indication of what Wrath delivered then you'll still have to deal with the middle man i.e. transmuting Alchemists.Acidote said:

my problem is... i have 4 level 80 characters but only ~1000 gold spread out between all of them (all i do is run heroics and PvP).
i would like to start generating some actual income but have no idea where to start or what to pursue. Since im low on cash I'd imagine is going to be a long road to even level a profession up at this point...

It's really not that hard, or long, to get a 2nd or 3rd character to lvl 80, while still having your main geared enough. Raids are much less of a waste of time than during the time of classic & BC WoW. You spend a few hours per week and there you go, you've got the best gear available, or one step closer with the "raiding points" that i forgot the name. And now since there will be no point in doing both the 10 & 25 man versions of the raids, and apparently no more of those raids with 10-12 bosses, you will have even more free time to lvl your alts!
Interfectum said:
I've got like 3 alts on the same realm, and all of them have over 10k gold. :lol It helps to have JC + Enchanting + Inscription + Mining + Herbalism + Alchemy. You save A LOT of money just with that. It might take a while to lvl all of them to 400+, but some like Inscription, can be done pretty fast with Herbalism. Enchanting is probably the one that might take longer.
If you haven't done all of them, do all the normal Northrend quests. They can give more money than dailies with their green rewards worth between 5g & 12g. Just make sure to always choose the one worth more. Don't choose the cloth bracers when there is a plate chest!
I don't even waste my time with dailies anymore, all i do with my alts is 1 heroic daily per day and that's it, and my total amount of gold keep going up unless i pay 4-6k gold for a 264 BOE item on the AH. :lol But since its not worth it to buy them lately... well... the more money in my pockets.

Thanks for the info. It's been so long since I leveled. I wasn't sure how long it would take. I like the DK so far. I've only known a warlock. Sure is nice to ditch the cloth for a bit.FLEABttn said:

how are they going to handle inscription if glyphs can be reused? do they do anything else?
I may start on a profession tonight... which do you suggest I get started on (if I pool my resources). Remember I have max mining if that helps.
I'm also gonna do some questing with my rogue since i have basically every quest in northand to do (leveled through BG and dungeon finder) :lol

Ugh, I was going to ask about that too. It looks like it's going to be in my best interest to buy my heirlooms in the next 6 days or so instead of waiting.DeathNote said:
3500 JP for 2 handers? Good god. It's regularly 65 emblems right? Convert those emblems into JP and you get 770(rounded down). Talk about a HUGE difference. I'm glad I decided to stockpile my emblems for the past couple weeks.
Interfectum said:
To be honest, i dont use Inscription for selling glyphs in the AH. I use it to make glyphs for my own alts and to make Weapon & Armor Vellums for my enchanter alt, so i can also enchant all my alts freely, or to put those expensive enchants on the AH for money.
Also, maybe some scrolls or offhands if i might need them someday.If you already have max mining, i guess you should go with JC.
Next step could be an alt with Herbalism & Inscription. Then go with Alchemy & Enchanting on your 3rd alt. Just farm herbs with your 2nd alt, and send the herbs to your alchemist.
Like it said, just getting all of those might take a while, especially enchanting with the boring farm of hoping for greens to drop. Since you dont have 10k gold with you, you can't easily buy dusts or essences in the AH when they can sometimes be quite expensive.

So I'm gonna try my setup like this then:
DK: JC and ALC
Lock: Herb + inscription
Hunter: eng + mining
rogue: eng (for pvp) + skining (already at 321)
does that sound like a pretty good setup?
Interfectum said:
Never really lvled engineering before, so i can't say. I always thought it was more of a fun/gimmick profession than a useful one. But 2 alts with engineer?
Also.. make sure that if you get enchanting on an alt someday, that its an alt that havent done a lot of quests. You might need those quests you have skipped so you can disenchant the rewards.

well the hunter has max engineering but i dont use him anymore and i like the pvp stuff that comes with engineering. id like to pvp with a rogue with skinning (crit bonus) and engineering (utility bonus).
I guess ill have to check out what is BoE and what isnt to see if its worth it.
caught your edit... might skip engy for now and do enchant then considering ive done maybe 5% of the quests with the rogue. <3 dungeon finder :lol

To make some money from mining, I've actually found that Burning Crusade ores get me more money on my server. Everyone and their mother is farming Wintergrasp 24/7 so there's huge amounts of saronite and titanium, but stack for stack you get as much for fel iron bars (you also get motes that are still fairly valuable). Not so much for adamantium, I can't even give it away. But travel around Zangar or Nagrand and you should make stacks very quickly. And if you find khorium, you hit the jackpot. Easily 15g per ore on my server, people still need it for copters and it's stupidly rare and if noone else can be bothered to get to Outland...
Confused101 said:
I think this will also be relative to how much JP we get per heroic. In the end it will probably even out to be the same amount of currency we are using now to purchase them. However the initial conversion will screw us, so if we plan on buying any heirloom gear, we should probably do it pre-4.0.1.

Dang. Epic gems were the only things i ever spent honor on. I suppose that everyone will be switching over to the new gems come Cataclysm, anyway. Using jewelcrafting to prospect epic gems was never worth it, imo, but it's definitely worth having a toon with the JC profession (it's a money maker for sure). Better to make money off the titanium ore and then buy the gems off the AH, instead. I guess Ill just stick to transmuting them once a day with alchemy.Acidote said:

And that's exactly what I'm planning. That patch isn't going in today, is it? That would be my luck.Aesthet1c said:
Got firefighter down last night
Then the tank had some major connectons issues so we had to call it.
Just have
Smell of Dwarves in the morning
Disarmed
Saronite (?)
lol, firewall is blocking me from getting the proper names. Glad the hard ones are over because it just occured to me if the patch goes through next week then you will need to do this content under the new system.
If they remove the mount, it will only be when Cata launches right? RIGHT!?!?!?!?!

I apologize in advance. I don't normally rant, especially about gear, but last night's ICC run really pissed me off. I ran a 25m mostly comprised of guildies and a handful of puggers. Including myself we had a total of 4 rogues so I wasn't exactly expecting a whole lot outside of badges and an upgrade to my AV ring.
Fast forward to Deathwhipser, who drops the leather rogue shoulders -- BiS for mut rogues prior to HMs (keep in mind i'm still wearing T9 shoulders). I outroll all the other rogues! Happy times! But nope...our druid tank rolls on them and wins. I don't say a word. I keep my mouth shut and continue to do my job, but inside I was raging. Still mad thinking about it.

I wanted to say something, but I've only been with the guild for a month or so and I didn't want to cause any drama. Our RL clearly wanted to give me the shoulders but everyone in the raid backed him up, saying feral druids can get just as much use out of them.
You guys realize those are fine for him to roll on, right? As in those count as druid tank shoulders.
To expand on that, there is no tanking leather (aside from standard tanking trinkets/cloaks/necks/rings)as it would be an itemization nightmare, so our stats convert from leather melee dps gear.

If they aren't BiS for Tank Druids, then he should fuck off. Especially if you are upgrading from T9.pyrealnova said:

Then, as a raid leader, I wouldn't have a problem giving them over to the tank. Of course they were just a minor upgrade I'd ask him to also not be a dick and hook up the guy still using T9...but I wouldn't force him to do it.Flib said:
Part of the issue would be to see what how much t10 he has, as bears should be making a beeline for the 4-piece bonus. If this breaks that, he shouldn't upgrade (although these are a solid upgrade over the 251 tier shoulders).
If he doesn't have the 251 t10 shoulders, then he probably has t9 as there aren't really many other options. We don't usually have a ton of gear choice.

Yeah, that's why I didn't say anything. He was using 251 shoulders and I'm not certain if he had his 4pc yet. They were a minor upgrade for him vs a very large upgrade for me. Oh well. Win some and lose some, I suppose.

Give it a shot come Cata. You get Cat form at lvl8 instead of 20, and Bear form at 15. Makes leveling far far more fun and quicker to boot.
On another topic: I wish they would give druids a Mount equivalent travel form like Worgen are getting. Cheetah is good for combat, but it's so slow that you end up using a mount for longer distances.

Having Druids share gear between tank and DPS specs makes sense to me. We have zero tank druids in our raid and it would get frustrating to have tank only pieces drop and get DE'd.J-Rzez said:
Of course I also think that SP Plate is bullshit as well. Not only does it lead to Paladins being the only class that needs three sets of gear to use all of their specs (in Cata) but it's also stupid to see it drop when you have no Holy Paladins in your raid.
Paladins would be much better served if Ret and Holy shared gear and Paladins had a talent to convert Int to AP and Spirit to Hit. That gives an extra use to SP Plate gear and removes one of the many classes trying to get their hands on STR Plate gear.
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Actually, it would probably just mean that Paladins would get two different gear types; SP gear and STR gear to use at the same time. You can't remove STR scaling from Paladins.notworksafe said:
So, Patch 4.0.3, and available to all. I wouldn't have presumed Blizzard would give anything away for free...perhaps it was just too weird to grey out very specific race/classes like that?
I assure you this answer is not good enough for J-Rzez.
