This blog entry is dedicated to Making Gold with Glyphs via Inscription.
I'll start this post out by linking the two Professions I used: Auctionator and Accountant.
In the past,I have explained a method I use to make passive Gold on top of my more aggressive market niches. Every Monday, I make one of every Glyph that I can make. Yes, every single Glyph. As I mention, there are ways to shave some fat off of this transaction and make it even more profitable (by only making those that are profitable verses making all of them blindly), I'm not too concerned with squeezing a few hundred extra Gold and would rather spend my time investing in other markets.
All you have to do is purchase ~1,000g worth of Whiptail or Cinderbloom (I recommend Whiptail if there isn't a huge disparity between the prices of either stack due to the increased rate of Burning Embers which create Inferno Ink (which can then be sold on the Auction House)), Mill them, and head to the Ink Trader in your major city.
From there, you may have to take a bit of time to see how much of each Ink you need to make one of each Glyph. This is a bit of a labor-intensive process, but is one that only needs to be done once. After that, you can easily do the minor adjustments of the daily Inscription Research without too much trouble. Once you've got your needed Inks (And Parchment - I'd recommend purchasing 4 stacks of each type of Parchment and seeing how much you have left at the end to gauge how much you need for the following week's craft), it's all a matter of crafting and listing them on the Auction House.
On a personal note, I recommend that you get all the needed materials in your inventory and make them all while standing in the Auction House. This will allow you to just have to sit there and click on Glyphs rather than having to stop every few minutes to go gather more Ink, Parchment, or to empty bag space. Just make as many as can fit in your inventory, list them, and re-start the process where you left off.
I hope this write-up has helped to add clarification; and, as always, good luck!

Making Gold With Enchanting - Enchanted Lantern
This blog entry is dedicated to Making Gold with [Enchanting - Enchanted Lantern]
Needed Materials:
While I don't usually mention it specifically, I often elude to this fact: People buy pets. Not only that, but they are one of the most willing markets to get gouged on and still accept price hikes. This is something we have to take advantage of!
The goal of this post is the same one I've been hinting at in most of my other Blog posts - learn to diversify your Gold Portfolio. It's nice to have a firm grasp on your niche markets, but you could potentially miss out on huge opportunities because you're being narrow-minded in your approach to making Gold. So long as you can afford it, I highly recommend trying out some new markets and see if you can't add a few extra numbers to your Gold total!
I hope this write-up has helped to add clarification; and, as always, good luck!
Needed Materials:
- 8 Heavenly Shards
- 1 Maelstrom Crystal
- 8 Hypnotic Dust
And, if you're using Auctionator, all you have to do is click the [AH] button and it'll pull up all the pricing information you need to see if it's profitable or not on your server. If it's not profitable the first time you search for it, I'd give it a second or even third try to see if you can get some better prices at different hours of the day.
From there, it's just a matter of crafting it! It will take some time to sell these pets, though. If you have a limited supply of Gold, I wouldn't recommend trying to expand to this market until you've enough Gold to take a hit if an investment doesn't work out.

Making Gold With Alchemy - Flasks
This blog entry is dedicated to Making Gold with Flasks through Alchemy.
For starters, download my Excel Spreadsheet by clicking here!
Now that you've downloaded it, it's time to throw some numbers in. For starters, you'll need to make a Shopping List in Auctionator. In the Shopping List, you'll need the following items:

Now that you've downloaded it, it's time to throw some numbers in. For starters, you'll need to make a Shopping List in Auctionator. In the Shopping List, you'll need the following items:
- Azshara's Veil
- Cinderbloom
- Flask of Flowing Water
- Flask of Steelskin
- Flask of the Draconic Mind
- Flask of the Winds
- Flask of Titanic Strength
- Heartblossom
- Stormvine
- Twilight Jasmine
- Volatile Life
- Whiptail
Once that list is set, go ahead and run a Search for All Items and throw in the values to the respective cells into the Spreadsheet. Once that's done, it's all a matter of evaluating the values, purchasing the specified materials, and crafting the Flasks the spreadsheet shows as profitable.
The thing I love about the Spreadsheet is how easy it is to get a quick snapshot of a very specific sector of the market.
I really recommend selling them either in all stacks of 1 or 6x1 and 2x2. While it may not matter all too much, that's what I've had sell best in my experience.

Now that that's done, it's all a matter of crafting what the Spreadsheet values as profitable and purchasing the materials it lists to purchase - and it really is that simple.
The beauty of the Spreadsheet is in how easy it is to input data and how quickly you see a quick snapshot of a very small and specific sector of the market.
I recommend selling the Potions either in 5x1 and 7x5 or 5x1, 3x5, and 2x10 - selling them in those ratios seem to work best for me (But feel out your server and see what works best for you)

Fire Mage DPS Rotation
This blog entry is dedicated to helping you understand how to better play a Fire Mage.
The rotation is as follows:
The rotation is as follows:
- Start with a Scorch to get 5% Crit Debuff up
- Cast Flame Orb (Be sure to be facing the target!)
- Put up Living Bomb
- Cast Fire Ball and be sure to re-apply Living Bomb, 5% Crit Debuff via Scorch, and pop every instant Pyroblast which procs.
- Use Combustion when you have Living Bomb up on the target and get a Critical Strike with your Fireball. Be sure to cast it the instant after the Fireball crits to ensure you get the maximum effect of the Ignite ticks (All critical strikes cause the target to burn for a few seconds, and Combustion takes the total DPS of all DoTs and re-applies them as a second DoT. Seeing as the Ignite ticks go away after a few seconds, being sure to pop Combustion the moment you crit is necessary in order to get all the pending ticks of Ignite in with Combustion. Also works well when used in conjunction with cooldowns, etc.)
And that's really it! Be sure to be using all damage cooldowns whenever they are available and don't stop casting! The #1 flaw I see in those trying to maximize their DPS is taking time to think about their rotation while in combat and not doing anything while thinking what they should be doing. If you ever get confused during your rotation and don't know what to do, try to establish a fall-back spell. For myself, it was Fireball when I first started learning the Mage class. If I were ever confused and lost my place in my rotation, I would default to Fireball for a few seconds (which is better than not casting at all!) until I found my place and could continue on with the rotation.
Also, the addon I used was called CombustionHelper which tracks how much DPS you have currently on your target, if Living Bomb is active, if you have Ignite ticks, Pyroblast, and will also let you know if you missed an instant-cast Pyroblast (from waiting too long) or re-applied Living Bomb too early (which I did once. Oops).
The addon I used to track my Damage Per Second is called Recount. It can track DPS, HPS (Healing Per Second), Deaths, and a slew of other in-combat statistics.

Macro - Linking Professions In Trade Chat
This blog entry is dedicated to being able to effectively link your Professions to others.
Below is the Macro text I used to have it display either Alchemy or Enchanting as "[Profession Name] Looking For Work":
For Alchemy:
/run local a,b,c,d=SendChatMessage,GetSpellLink,"CHANNEL",GetChannelName("Trade - City")a(select(2,b("Alchemy")).." LFW",c,nil,d)
For Enchanting:
/run local a,b,c,d=SendChatMessage,GetSpellLink,"CHANNEL",GetChannelName("Trade - City")a(select(2,b("Enchanting")).." LFW",c,nil,d)
As you may be able to tell, the blank template for the Macro is as follows:
/run local a,b,c,d=SendChatMessage,GetSpellLink,"CHANNEL",GetChannelName("Trade - City")a(select(2,b("PROFESSION NAME HERE")).." LFW",c,nil,d)
All you have to do is replace the BOLD text with the name of your Profession, copy the text into a Macro, and you're all set! (Note: Be sure to keep the "parentheses" that surround the name of the Profession. It won't function properly without them.)

Making Gold With Raids - Karazhan
This blog entry is dedicated to Making Gold through raiding Karazhan.
In the beginning, I ran from the start of The first boss to Attumen the Huntsman himself, killing all the trash and, eventually, Attumen in one-minute-thirty-seconds flat.
In terms of loot, I had 6 Gold, 23 Silver from mobs and 26 Gold, 4 Silver from vendoring items. Since this was in 90 seconds, with some simple math: 60 minutes / 1.5 minutes = 40 minutes; 40*32.27 = 1,290g80s
We are able to find that the GPH (Gold Per Hour) rate is roughly 1,290g80s assuming that same rate of Gold stays the same throughout. It's also worth mentioning that Attumen the Huntsman has a 1% chance to drop the Fiery Warhorse's Reins, so go out there and farm Karazhan!
