Spent 1.65m on a BOE today.
(Why not?)
Iâm happy if they keep paying me 24-28k for a chest enchant 
I just use Buzzing Runes. They give the same amount of Crit and Haste is a worthless stat.
Delves do actually.
I stopped putting real effort into my professions around wotlk. Until Dragonflight I pretty much never sold anything on the auction house.
Now in tww Iâve become hooked on professions and auctions for the first time.
Iâve spent prob a few hundo thousies on professions/gear/stuff but Iâve made somewhere between 500-600k? (havenât actually tracked). Iâve given my mate truckloads of bismuth to get his smithing up. Iâve been bugging my other mate to teach me how to make my enchanting profitable. I even levelled a druid 71-80 just herbing and mining and it was comfy.
Itâs small fish to anyone whoâs been engaged in this stuff before but for me thatâs huge.
Is that better than the flat damage proc one for tanks?
You mean the whetstone that costs a nullstone to make?
Iâm good.
Itâs been like that since DF, and the need to talent into the ârightâ choices to make the most of your profession.
Only a few people with the optimal choices (and recipes) = monopoly.
Spending 30-45k on weapon enchants is the new normal.
WoWtokens clearly make this easier. 
Things like weapon enchants are region-wide.
There is no monopoly.
Semi-related:
Whetstones seem way out of whack on the AH. Donât have a blacksmith so Iâm wondering if the mats for them are just ridiculous.
It feels like a repeat of the Elemental Lariat if you ask me.
Even if it is region-wide, itâs still super-expensive for most players.
I feel like everyone who isnât rich in WoW is being actively punished for not having several gold-capped alts, or playing the AH with addons.
If you donât do those two things, youâve just gotta settle for crappier enchants.
PvP doesnât really make money at all lol, yet I still need to buy the same enchants as everyone else. It blows.

id like better gold sources than gathering
the other places give way little payout
like really low. i donât think it was this low in df or sl lol.
It really wasnât. I stopped doing skyriding races because the payout is a joke compared to what it was in DF.
We went from like 1k to like 180g lol.
Thereâs still too much gold in the economy, but this is just hurting everyone else.
Thereâs nothing they can do to drain the wallets of goblins, no matter how much they try. Brutosaur was merely a small tax for them.
Guess all that early access was worth it for those that made bank.

No, Deep Toxins.
some delve reagents, a blue crystal and some dust.
Most people dont play this game as an economy sim.

I honestly wish theyâd just debase gold entirely.
Let me buy enchants with honor or resonance crystals or something, lmao.
The players are simply asking for too much.
Ironclaw Whetstones are 100% Ironclaw free.
They use null stones and core alloy. Theyâd be so much cheaper if they actually used ironclaw.
Itâs not the players. Itâs Blizzard making everything super expensive/time consuming to make this expansion.

ur not aiming 8/8M like liquid or echo?
Well yeah, the players behavior is only the result of whatever systems Blizzard has made.
I hate it, itâs blatantly gotten worse since DF. The prices of things.
Wondering if thereâs gonna be some legendary this expansion thatâs gonna cost a buttload of gold to make like Fyrâalath⊠of course there is.
I remember when theyâd just drop, or be a part of a questline lol. Legendaries that required actual crafting are somewhat rare.
