Flasks run about 40 to 45 gold each on Kirin Tor and the Battered Hilt is anywhere from 15K to 20K. Frost Lotus is 60g each so flask are kind of a low profit market here. If you are a an elixir master and it procs you can make a little but all my guild alchemists just make them for the guild and thats it. The farmers have it locked up. Most of your tips work great on my server but this one I am not sure I want to try without a little more study of the market on my server. Thanks though it gives me something to investigate.

It’s just certain servers. I would imagine that yours is a lot like Fenris – just has an undercutter’s mentality. Most of those guys FARM for mats. It’s nuts, but there is still money to be made. Since it IS an undercutting economy, it means that you can get firesale prices for mats and especially items most of the time. Someone is going to undercut herbs as well. But on Fenris I actually began to deal more in resale items since they were almost always underpriced.

There are good and bad points about cheap and expensive servers. Sure, flasks may be 60g, but herb stacks are 90g, so it’s a push. Plus, prices for things like battered hilt are just retarded in rich environments – say 20,000g, I sold one for 18,756g and it didn’t take more than 14 minutes to sell. It all evens out in the end. Buy low, sell high and the actual price points don’t matter all that much in the long run.

WTB transfer to server with 60g flasks. My server is full of Alchemists content to dumping flasks for less than half the price of the Lotus, selling at a loss and hoping to break even through procs, apparently. What is it about herb-based profession that makes everyone bad at math?

If you actually, you know, READ the article he says that the mats are bought through auctioneer snatching herbs 100% below market value. Why would DYS tell you to farm the herbs? Sigh.

“I can tell you that the profit won’t be much” – ok you go ahead and “tell” us whatever you like. I promise Law’s the one laughing all the way to the bank.

Nice one, but I do have a few questions though:
How you get herbs to make elixirs/flasks? Farming?
- If yes, what if I don’t have a herbalist, and still it takes a lot of time to “Farm” the herbs.
- If no, you buy those herbs from the Auction House? I can tell you that the profit won’t be that much than.

And I also know “Smart” people can provive endlessly Frost lotusses, so you will never be able to “Dominate” the flask market.

I have a rogue on alchemy and want to get to grand master but I’m lazy and didn’t know what level I had to be to reach that status. Along with the fact that I now also know that I don’t have to have exalted rep with anybody is also a plus to get the recipes I need. Along with that I will read the article Alchemy Quest trick and use said trick to get Elixir Master.
Thanks for doing all my work for me Law, and now I can get focused and get my rogue the 5 levels he needs to get the Alchemy topped off and get to dominating and gold making…right after I watch Sportscenter.
