How do you guys get enough for epic flying? I’m currently have Herbalism and Alchemy for my professions. I have Tailoring and Enchanting on my Mage but nothing is really bringing in the big bucks. For Alchemy, I’m a transmute master but none of the Meta Gems (most expensive on my realm) I transmute are proccing to more then one.
Herbalism is a tough thing to do because bots and Horde are camping Mana Thistle and Terocones. I don’t have Spellstrike Pants or Hood for tailoring cause those are a rare drop and Enchanting is very hit and miss besides Disenchanting the occasional blues.
So how do you guys do it? I’m lucky if I’m making 100g a day. I really wanna get swift flight form to start farming Anzu but it seems damn near impossible at this point. Any tips help!
running gdkp back in classic has carried me alot on tbc

I lvld 2 chars at once. Sold dreamfoil and older herbs along with enchanting mats and kept shadowmoon and netherstorm quests for lvl 70 which I am only a 3rd of the way through each zone.
Had enough for epic flying fir this toon plus 2k left.

Auction house shuffles! If you have enchanting then get another crafting proff on an alt even, craft whats cheaper to make than its value in raw enchanting materials and repeat this process over and over, can sell mats on AH or sell enchants with ur mats or use ench mats to craft other items. Many options here.
Good Luck!

level only through dungeons… do all quests after you hit 70. that should cover the cost of epic flying

Dude you’re a chanter. Chanting mats don’t cost anything to post.
I had about about a 1K head start from Classic but waited until I had close to 6K before getting the training and mount. I just did as many quests as I could find. Once I hit cap I had most of Netherstorm and all of Blades Edge Mountains left to do so I just finished off those zones. My guild was pretty good at raiding raiding T4 content so we clear it without many wipes which meant more gold in pocket and less in repairs too.
Do your best to avoid buying stuff of the AH and vendor everything you loot that isn’t valuable.
that’s not what the op is really asking. he is asking how to make money in tbc.
Sadly you went transmute mastery. The worst alchemy spec by a mile when it comes to making money. I would dump that and go elixir mastery. On my server primal might goes for about 75g and flasks of relentless go for a little more or a little less. I can proc 1 flask off making 4-5 and that is an extra 75g on top of the 300 - 375g I make from selling the other flasks. Sometimes you won’t proc on those 5 but you can also get 3 or 4 extra depending on your luck that day. Farm enough to make the 5 flasks a day and you should have your mount in 2 weeks tops.
Someone pointed out something pretty amazing the other day. Buy Ragveil if it is under 30s each. I think that was the magic number. Craft mad alchemist pots until you make the discoveries you need. Vendor the pots and actually make a little gold doing it. I started doing this the other day and I already made a flask discovery and probably about 50g.
Good luck getting your mount.

I went with Transmute because WoWhead posted about the apothecary being available in phase 2. Where people can buy elixirs and flasks from the scryer and aldor vendors with Marks of the Illidari. I was just trying to future proof my profession lol x)
easy but grindy not fast, farm food, just the commonly used spell damage or agility buff food, sell cheap on ah, good for an easy 1-200g an hour but very boring. It does add up though. Also, do dailies and run dungeons, even a normal 65-70 dungeon yields a small profit if its a smooth easy run. Fancier stuff can yield a higher profit, but also risks wasting more time and effort. Basically time=money, put in the time and you will get your epic.
A lot of it centers around gold-buying cheaters and/or activities that stem from gold-buying. Not everyone - but a LOT of people in this game are cheaters, or profiting off cheaters. Bots & such wouldn’t be rampant in this game if it wasn’t a very lucrative business.
I know they have those things but I don’t think it is enough to kill the profession as they project. I remember I always had to farm for my flasks, pots and elixirs in the original. It was definitely nice to have the marks but I don’t think I ever got a single one. I was also not the type to take what I could get on my own. It is early but I can say with absolute certainty that the price of flasks on my server have gone up since the launch of p2 by at least 20%. I had to stop selling them completely because people were selling them under what the mats costs to produce but the prices have rebounded nicely.
Grinded dungeons and mobs till 70 then went back and did all the quests…

There’s that and in vanilla classic mages and hunters exploiting terrain and mob pathing in Mara or the Dire Maul north tribute.
I have 3 tailors and 2 alchemists and probably have enough to have epic fly on one of the characters. But unfortunately it benefits only gathering herb/mine alts and I don’t want to burn gold on a character (sub rogue) that I never even stepped into Kara.
Quests that you have left over are good gold. You can farm a few primals here and there. You can farm mobs for aldor / scryer rep and get a bunch of greens / cloth along the way. You can level an alt and just shovel all of its gold to your main. Itll have close to 2k just quesitng 1-70.
Id avoid gathering on slow mount. you just cant compete.
