Enchant Scrolls

This is a part of my operation that quietly earns me alot of gold. What I do is similiar to the old MMO-champion guide on enchanting.

I really recommend people read that link if they haven't already. It deals with QuickAuctions, setting it up to handle all your enchant scrolls.

I still shuffle saronite which is rather profitable still, the exception is I sell the chalcedony produced from breaking down saronite - I can get up to 12g a piece. But the rest of the gems are still worth 1g each, I can find eternal earth for 3g, and 1 earth helps produce 5 rings or necklaces. So I essentially pay 1.4g per green item and they disenchant to 2.5 dust or more. I could sell this alone for profit at 25g/stack, but I take it the extra step and produce scrolls.

My threshold prices for raw materials are much higher then what I'd buy them for on the AH, or even have the ability to sell them for. I can't sell stacks of dust very easily for 44g a stack. But I can say, when I make scrolls they are worth that much.

What I like about the scroll market is the fire and forget feel. It takes setup with QA to set your threshold and fallback prices for each scroll, in fact I do this with many items not just enchanting or glyphs. Almost everything I sell, at one point I've built a QA group for it. My list of items sold with QuickAuctions is massive. I am building a side-project, a level 3 character on a new realm, started with 1.9 silver and 2 small eggs and within 2 trading cycles was up to 7+ gold with over 100 auctions listed. Part of that was winning cheap bids, making QA groups with huge thresholds and fallbacks for those items, then a quick 5 min posting cycle each day. I will continue that alt and write about him (Flips) but I disgress.

Enchanting is not a primary profession for rushing to the gold cap. But it's still a very valuable profession, one which doesn't take much work but can earn a steady stream of gold. Enchanting also adds value to my saronite shuffle, without an enchanter I'd just be selling off stacks of bloodstones for 23g a stack.
