Man I want to craft some leather gear, but need 6 of these. Thats like 600+ gold on teh AH. Crazy
Nope, your best bet is to make friends with a alchie with transmute mastery and ninja their cooldown.
Make friends with an alchemist I suppose, or level one yourself.
It may be cheaper to obtain the mats and buy someone’s CDs as well.
Fix that for you!
There’s also good ol’ fashioned trading – of mats, items, help with dungeons, etc.
What can LW make thats of equal value?
And just think, all that LW gear you make will be obsolete in phase 2. 
Thinking about that. Im new to tbc so all this gearing is overwhelming to me.
Pretty much what I gathered is get my 4 beastlord pieces then get whatever I can after

For hunters, beastlord is pre-raid BIS. That is definitely all you need and you are going to love the lower cool down on traps, even in PvP.
Its p1 bis from the guides I seen? But yeah every run ive done and I havnt seen one piece drop. Every run is just littered with Int gear

I don’t know – it would depend on what the alchemist in question wants.

I wouldn’t bother with the expense of crafted gear. Much as it sucks your best bet is to run dungeons until you’re sick of them. Your beastlord pieces will eventually drop

The primal set is pretty nice but if you’re struggling to craft it, don’t worry too much about it. The price of primal might was about the cost of materials plus 20 gold on my server when it’s at its lowest cost for the week.
Primal air and whatnot usually won’t drop too terribly much in price from now, as it’s used for so many things.
You could farm the primals yourself which would save you a lot of money, but it’s hard to do that because they’re usually contested heavily.
Keep doing all the quests; you’ll get thousands of gold. I got enough for my primal set just by doing quests and occasionally crafting things like fel leather boots that sell for a profit in the AH.

dont you just need beastlord and then raid gear? if its too much of a pain to get dont worry about it. here i am just crafting 4 spellcloths a week even though i need 42 total LOL. 
i should probably get farming but im kinda having fun in retail and just raid logging classic.
i ad a friend who asked me once. I ask what you need them for …
I got no answer. I said okay you can have it. Found it on the AH.
friends

I would feel quite insulted if someone took my cd to sell it. I dont even charge for the CD either. Like literally salting the earth kind of anger if I saw that happen.
Im up to 18 botanica runs for my hunters chest which is his 4pc and still no luck.
Games unplayable.

600g is chump change
Blizzard should fix this right away. PVE players should not have to grind for hours just for a piece of gear.

Not when your trying to buy epic flying also and started your toon on TBC release 
You know what’s funny I made 4500G standing in Stormwind selling a little bit of enchants, but as a leather worker I was selling riding crops. I was making 50G+ buying the mats, crafting, and instantly selling. How did I sell nearly 100 of these?
The riding crop says 10% mount speed, but what you didn’t know its 10% of your overall speed meaning 100% movement + mount speed. Epic mount is 38% speed increase according to multiple addons and testing. The more you know.
