RHAZZER'S MINI GOLD GUIDEBECOME A MILLIONAIRE TODAY!DISCLAIMER : This is what I personally do to make gold, there are lot of other ways to make it.
Step 1: Go to either of the links below(If already installed, skip step 1)

You can click the tool bar on top "Desktop App" --> How to set up
Follow the instructions.
REMEMBER TO NEVER EXIT(LITTLE X) THE POP-UP MENU Step 2: Setting up your TSM
People have already spent hours and hours and hours on creating profiles and either sell these profiles or share for free. A streamer group that I watch and talk with give their profiles away for free.
Link below:
https://www.twitch.tv/xionikandsheyrah/profileOn the right is "My TSM Profile" shows when it was last updated--
THIS ONLY WORKS FOR TSM3 so make sure your TSM is updated.
Follow the instructions to copy her profile into your folders, they also have step by step instructions.
Once step 1 and 2 are complete, you can log into the game and /TSM and it should look something like this.
Now once this is done, you can alter any of the pricing formulas or even add more into it. I added about 20 more sub profiles and altered a few of their formulas to fit my preferences.
Lot of people ask me how i make my millions. I do not camp the Auction House ever, even when i was really big into the glyphs/gems/potions/flasks/feasts I would post before raid times for my realm and about half way through. I never did the cancel feature and re-post all the items. That takes up to much time and really isn't worth it(in my opinion) Also was due to the fact I have hundreds of everything I was posted on auction house, so i never had to cancel in order to repost. Tuesdays are without a doubt the best day to camp auction house even if you don't want to. Everyone just reset their lock outs and are getting ready to re-clear old content or even new content. So there will be a flood of all materials on auction house, this will drive the price down.
Here is a makeshift list of items you should always be checking prices.
There are many items not listed here, mainly because lot of the other gems and required materials are always cheap on auction house and don't require always checking for them.
Other really good items to check for are the WoD BOE epics ( 665 - 685 - 691 - 695 - 700 - 706 - 710 - 716 - 725 - 731 item levels )
The big ticket items to watch out for when dealing with these BOE epics are the HFC cloth boots, they are best in slot for many classes and sell for a ridiculous amount, I sold a mythic version(no mods on it) for 150,000 just last week. Another JSP user bought a pair of Mythic Warforfged+Socket and I believe he sold them for 1,000,000 gold. There is a lot of gold to be made here.
http://www.wowuction.com/us/kelthuzad/alliance/ is a very good website to check either realm market values or global market values on items. I use it few times a week to compare prices without having to personally check the auction houses.
I mainly use professions and garrison to make about 1/3 of my gold income at the moment. I will go more in depth about how i do this.
I have done 3 solo RAF. meaning I refer myself and have friend help me get a bunch of characters up to 15(takes 20-35 minutes per character) then on my brand new account, i create ONLY warriors. Why warriors you ask, I have tried this with several tanks and warriors seem to always do the most dps and have best survive ability from 15-90. This RAF account i let go inactive after the 3 months of bonus experience is gone. I do this with the sole purpose of creating more level 90's that can all have professions. My biggest source of income from TSM is when i do the MOP daily crafts on every profession. Here is a count of my professions to date.(I have 3 active accounts)(NOT INCLUDING RAF)
Here are my profession count for my main realm.
Alchemy= 11
Blacksmithing= 8
Enchanting= 8
Engineering= 6
Inscription= 7
Jewelcrafting= 9
Leatherworking= 2
Tailoring= 11
Mining= 1~~~~Only reason is to smelt ore that you can buy at cheaper rate.
Herbalism= 0
Skinning= 0
Yes, i have 33 characters level 90-100 on 1 realm atm. This is how i manage to make as much gold as i can with doing only daily crafting.
Ok, now lets go even more in-depth and what each profession brings to the table
Daily CraftingAlchemy: Alchemical Catalyst and Transmute: Living Steel OR Transmute: Living Elements
Blacksmithing: Truesteel Ingot and Lightning Steel Ingot and Balanced Trillium Ingot
Enchanting: Temporal Crystal
Engineering: Gearspring Parts and Jard's Peculiar Energy Source
Inscription: War Paints and Any of the research if you don't already have all the Glyphs
Jewelcrafting: Taladite Crystal and Serpent's Heart
Leatherworking: Burnished Leather and Magnificence of Leather and Hardened Magnificent Hide
Tailoring: Hexweave Cloth and Celestial Cloth and Imperial Silk and Dreamcloth
Mining:These are the daily/weekly crafted items i am currently working with for last 6 months of so.
OK, lets really dive into and go over each profession and what i craft with all these materials!
AlchemyAlchemical Catalyst: I use these to craft Greater Draenic Flasks(Agi/Int/Str only) Any extras I have every three weeks, i craft into Draenic Philosopher's Stone(then vendor this) UNLESS you are able to quickly sell the Catalysts for 4.5 gold of more PER(even in bulk) then you save a bunch of time and only really miss out on like 50-100 gold PER stack of the Catalyst you sell. Time is money
Living Steel: This is the most used item i currently craft, I use them for Blacksmithing for the 502 Reborn weapons and various other transmog gear, and Engineering for the Sky Golem mounts. I also craft the Jewelcrafting mounts
Living Elements: I do this daily on 2-3 of my alchemists at most, I do this in the attempt to convert Volatile Life into Volatile Water, because Volatile Lifes are pretty cheap on AH compared to the Volatile Waters. I then turn my Volatiles into Truegold that is then used in crafting huge range of transmog that sells for a good flip.
BlacksmithingTruesteel Ingot: WoD crafting material, just use this to craft the new plate armor and weapon upgrades, craft the pet, i always keep 2-4 of each armor type in stock for sales(weapons posting costs to much each time) Only time i deal with weapons is if you upgrade them fully and then place them on AH for 25,000-35,000 gold each.
Lightning Steel Ingot: 463/476/502 crafted Isle of Thunder Reborn transmog weapons(go from the 463-502 takes 30 of these(which takes 30 days to craft) no way to speed this up
Balanced Trillium Ingot: 553 crated Leggings and Belts for transmog(Belt takes 21 days, Leggings take 28 days) you can speed this up with Spirits of War
EnchantingTemporal Crystals: Craft the enchants and sell them, never sell just the crystals(lose way to much gold)
EngineeringGearspring Parts: WoD crafting material, just use this to craft the new goggle and gun upgrades, craft all the toys/weapon enchants/pets, I always keep 1-3 of each armor type in stock for sales(weapons posting costs to much each time) i have stopped selling fully upgrade engineering guns
Jard's Perculiar Engergy Source: three main items you craft with these, 2 pets(Pierre and Rascal-Bot) and then the Sky Golem mount. Takes 15 days per pet or 30 days for the mount. Depending on your realm, mount normally always sells for more(if you can sell 2 pets for more than 1 mount, do this)
InscriptionWar Paints: WoD crafting material, just use this to craft the new trinket and weapon upgrades. I keep 1-3 fully upgrade weapons and 1-3 of each trinket fully upgraded at all times to sell. always makes good gold and sells quickly.
JewelcraftingTaladite Crystal: WoD crafting material, keep enough of the jewerly upgrade items in stock for good sales, then craft rest into Immaculate gems(NEVER CRAFT JEWERLY ITSELF)
Serpent's Heart: THIS IS ONLY WORTH IF YOU HAVE STOCK PILES OF THE SERPENT'S EYE LEFT OVER FROM MOP, or if you can get them for cheap. I had a guild bank full left over. Get bunch of free gems that sell for good gold currently and used to craft the 450 item level amulets(depending on your realm prices)
LeatherworkingBurnished Leather: WoD crafting material, just use this to craft the new armor upgrades, also craft all the bags. I also keep 1-4 of each armor and cloak type on hand for sales.
Magnificent of Leather: I keep enough of these in stock to craft each of the Leg Armor(twinks/alts buy very often and good prices) Depending on your realm, you use these to craft the Dreadful and Malevelent Gladiators PVP transmog gear, make sure the cost of crafting these isn't a lose(keep 1-2 in stock)
Hardened Magnificent Hide: 553 crated Leggings and Belts for transmog(Belt takes 21 days, Leggings take 28 days) you can speed this up with Spirits of War
TailoringHexweave Cloth: WoD crafting material, craft armor upgrades, pets, and lot of bags. Bags sell very fast and for decent gold. I never keep any of the armor/cloaks in stock.
Imperial Silk: Can speed this up using three Spirits of Harmony. Craft 522 Transmog Helms and Boots. If price is right you can also craft Leg armors and Royal Satchels.
Celestial Cloth: 553 crated Leggings and Belts for transmog(Belt takes 21 days, Leggings take 28 days) you can speed this up with Spirits of War
Here is a quick image with what materials are required for 7 days of filling working orders and doing the daily craft of each profession(I stock my characters with 6 months of materials currently)
This also doesn't cover using all the Rush Work Orders on every character.
Obviously there is a LOT more items you can craft and do besides these to make your millions. People say what professions each character has doesn't matter at all, that is not true at all. All my engineers are currently paired up with alchemy, Why you ask? I run Ulduar 25 on each of them every week, kill Flame Leviathan/XT-002 Deconstructor/Kologran/Auriaya/Freya/Mimiron. As an Engineer, you can "engineer" the bodys of 3 of the bosses for crafting materials, and as an alchemist you are able to loot a satchel of goodies from Freya. If your strapped for time or just don't want to do the bosses up to Mimiron, just knock out first 2(both you can engineer for the crafting materials)
Besides those professions, i don't pair them up any other way.
If you have any profession with patterns that are either .001% drop or have even been removed. These transmog items are selling for more and more gold every day. When the Wardrobe hits they will go up even more. Buddy of mine on Illidan played hardcore in Vanilia and has every single pattern for every profession that was allowed(each profession had "specs") He has all the Naxx 40 gear he can craft(he made millions from just crafting fees) Sadly he quit the game and count is inactive, however I have access to it and can resub to craft if price is right. Good idea to check your professions for removed patterns(mainly if you played in Vanilia or TBC)
Also when yearly events come up, do as many of them as you can. I did the Christmas dailys on every character I could. I ended up with 18 of the mounts of 40 of the toys. They have made me a lot of gold.
Any item that can only be obtained during select weeks during the year will go up in price later on when unobtainable.
If you don't have professions, you can also run Cata raids for gold and either vendor/DE the boe items. I use to sell ICC 25 Heroic and Ulduar 25 for the mounts, but not they are soloed really easy(They also bought my luck) I have sold 4 Invincible mounts and 8 Mimiron's Head**I would invite them for 5,000 gold and if mount dropped, they would pay me another 195,000. This mount sells for gold cap on BMAH almost every time. All of my buyers paid either 250,000-450,000.
The final 2/3 of my gold making is made from doing Heroic Archimonde Personal Loot sales. I post on 3-4 realms at a time and do a run every 20 minutes. Selling the spot for 35,000-40,000 gold per spot. making 105,000-120,000 gold per hour. I am also apart of a group that runs 13/13 Heroic HFC Personal Loot clear, I sell my spots each week for 200,000 and the run takes 90 minutes. In order to do these sales, either form a group or know people who lead these. Must also be 740+ ilvl and the right classes(Mage)
Hope this was helpful, if you have more questions feel free to ask. I am not sure how much more i will put into this thread, we will find out!
