Jewelry is one of the best gold manufacturers and it’s pretty easy too. Do the daily Jewelery search every day, this will yield around 100g per day or a new gem recipe once every 3-4 days.
The jewelry is so lovely that it relies on raids and new gear, so keep them three at a time and be more focused during rush hours.
The average Cardinal Ruby costs around 100 gold on each server and cuts can go up to 150g, NEVER post for more than 12 hours (unless I tell you to) due to high deposit from the house of auctions.
In this market you will find people who are undercutting deeply, sometimes below the cut price.
Example: purchase of Cardinal Ruby 100g
Bold Cardinal Ruby 130g player a
Bold Cardinal Ruby 129g player b
Bold Cardinal Ruby 128g player c
Bold Cardinal Ruby 102g player d
When you see a person doing this, your best bet is to buy it and republish it for a quick profit, and save yourself a minute without having to cut another.
Gems tend to go for 80-110 uncut gold on servers and 105-150 cuts. This market can be crowded on some servers, but it’s still worth it if you know what you’re doing.
Since uncut gems can be bought with honor and emblems, have a macro that you use whenever you are in a city, for example
“Buying everything [Cardinal Rubys] 85/90/95 (depending on the server) Each one! CoD or / whisper to me “
Also always trading people who are selling cardinal rubies in trade, these people just bought them and they don’t really care how much they get if it is an average, just by looking at the trade channel I can get 20-30 Cardinal rubies daily.
Check the auction house where the gems are sold the most at that time, but keep in mind the price they are usually sold for so you don’t get stuck with 40 useless gems because they sold at a high price that day. You can of course buy yellow / blue / purple gems, but I mostly use the red Cardinal Ruby ones.
Sometimes your competitors will reduce your purchase price by just a few silver coins and the supply by several gold coins, when they are listed below or close to the Cardinal Ruby price, just bid on the gem, like this it will cost them more to cancel. And it’s not risky for you because even if you win it (almost never, but it happens), you will get more gems to sell and you won’t have to waste time cutting them.
Rare Red Gems also sell well, not for such a high price, but they are still a very good profit percentage. With the Gem Perfection quest, you will sometimes get a “perfect gem” that has better stats and will of course sell for more cuts than normal, so if you haven’t done this quest, do so before you start cutting.
Runic Bloodstone, Bold Bloodstone, Brilliant Bloodstone, and Delicate Bloodstone should be your best sellers, but check your server’s auction house to be sure.
You can also benefit from saronite ore prospecting, which is even better if you are enchanting because it can turn green gems into rings / necklaces etc. and of.
