Wondering if alloys would be a moneymaker.
I believe so.
I tinker around with BS every now and then. I had to craft some rank 3 alloys to make a weapon or something, and the only way I could do it was with concentration. I noticed the rank 3 alloys were like 2k gold more than the rank 2 and rank 1, so yea, you could probably buy mats for the alloys off the AH, and craft at rank 3 for a profit.
Typically, though, the profit margins for doing that is pretty small, if anything. Other people will have thought of doing that, and the price will eventually even itself out. The best way to make money with professions is by gathering your own mats, and either selling those, or using them to craft something to sell.
Hmm as armorsmith I usually jsut let people come to me. Not much moneymaking as I was expecting
Probably hit or miss, most gear you can craft is gated by sparks and/or crests, depending on the ilvl of what you are crafting; I’ts generally easier just to run raids or dungeons to get that gear, IMO.
