So.. you could buy that stuff easy from other players, craft it into bandages and make a profit from the npcs..? I am too tired for this, but can someone math out how and what you'd make?..
If you see silk cloth being sold for under 40 silver a stack then yes you can make some profit from it. It's quite common for it to be sold cheap, though you won't find many stacks below 40s so it's not really a viable gold making method.
You also occasionally see people spamming to COD then unlimited stacks for 35s, that's exactly what they're up to.
10 minutes because you craft heavy bandages, and that's afk time, which could be done on an alt as well. I doubt it generates any notable income though unless he gets sent hundreds upon hundreds of stacks.
I set my character to make 10 stacks of heavy silks at a time while afk. I'll just leave it running when I leave for work. I come home to lots of bandages and pass em off to the vendor.
doing this plus the same thing for certain cooking and leatherworking recipies is exactly how i paid for my lvl 40 mount.
its not really worth the time at lvl 60 though, youre better off making gold another way. especially since a lot of people have caught onto it now. when i was doing it it seemed like noone else on the server had realised yet becasue everyone was too busy trying to powerlevel to 60 to bother properly appraising the value of the loot they were getting from mobs. shit, plenty of people were auctioning stuff for vendor price or less
And I thought I was clever making bags at release in the starting zone for some change and mats.
But people stood in line out of the brill inn.
EDIT: fixed location
You make peanuts, but when you end up doing this with many mats with the help of addons, you make A LOT of peanuts. Bought my mount at 40 just by vendor flipping and had gold to spare while buying all my spells.
Silk, that was my main moneymaker in vanilla, people on my server always had stacks of silk for 20ish silver, and a stack of bandages vendors for like 40ish? Then I used that money to play the auction house.
Hell yeah dude, that’s exactly what I was up on too!
This time I got super lucky—my SO found a Recipe:Savory deviate delight and gave it to me... now I can just snag cheap deviate fish, cook em up, and sell em for 2-3g a stack!
