So I have currently been testing out a theory that just by buying one type of item on the Auction house and changing it to a different item a larger amount of gold can be made . But how can you turn lead into gold ?
Items for Any Class
Frozen Orbs
So what can you do with them ? You can trade them for Eternals by visiting Frozo the Renowned in Dalaran . What you should see is that the price for frozen orbs should be the same price as the Highest Eternal (Eternal Life ,Eternal Fire,Eternal Air Eternal Water , Eternal Shadow and Eternal Earth ) . I find this is not he case and there is normally a difference . So for a quick sell buy some Frozen orbs convert them to the highest selling Eternal and wait for the Gold.
Heavy Borean Leather
Well the simple one here is that 10 of this item will trade up for 1 Arctic Fur its not one to invest in for stockpiling but there still selling and it can be a cheap conversion .
Other items
There are many items that can be combined or broken down to release the mats and these also can be profitable to buy change and sell .
All of the above Eternals
Small Dream Shards
The Various Essences
Enchanters
Abyss Crystal
So this has been the focus of my experiment if you use the spell Abyssal Shatter then it will produce you about 6-11 Infinite dust or 3-6 Greater cosmic essences . I generally find its produces more essences then dust , but I have been buying all crystals under 10 gold and making some great profits from it .
Void Shatter
So for this one you need to be honoured with The Shattered sun offensive but if your Void crystals are cheap its another small earner by converting them to 2 Large prismatic Shards
Jewlcrafter
So There are some great conversions here all of the 4 below sell for 3g 14s 78c .
BloodStone band
Crystal Chalcedony Amulet
Crystal Citrine Necklace
Sun Rock Ring
So go to your ah and check the price of the following Sun Crystal ,Bloodstone ,Chalcedony, Citrine and Crystallized Earth .
To make any of the above you need 1 gem and 2 Earth so do the simple sum and add the cost together and make a profit .
The next two rings to look at are
Stoneguard and shadowmight I would suggest working with a enchanter to turn these into enchanting materials especially with the amount of Infinite dust that you get . To make these rings you need 2 Eternal Earths for Stoneguard and 1 Eternal Earth and 1 Eternal Shadow for Shadowmight.
Tailor
I haven't found any direct conversions but a simple one is to buy cloth and make bolts and then relist the blots .
Miner
What's the vendor price for 20 bars ?
Copper Bar 2 silver
Bronze Bar 10 silver
Iron Bar 40 silver
Mithril Bar 80 silver
Thorium Bar 1g 20 silver
Fel Iron Bar 4g
Cobalt Bar 7gold 50 silver
Saronite Bar 25 gold
So as you can see from the above list saronite is a safe bet to buy ore at 12.5g a stack but it will give you a view on others and what prices you can snatch them up at .
So this is part one I will cover other professions tomorrow ,
Is this helpful and the sort of tips you are looking for ?
Have I missed out a a conversion ?
Anyway look forward to feed back and comments

I have used what you call conversion in most of my gold making. But I will say I take it one step further with many of the items you mention.
ReplyDeleteTake borean leather, turn it into arctic fur then turn it into leg armor. This was one major source of gold for me through most of woltk. Often was 100-150gold a sale. Would also sell the arctic fur directly as well. Gold was made by setting your buy target and understanding how much you wanted to make on each sale.
Tailoring, buying the items to make spellthreads. In most cases on my server the average buy price of the mats then converted would net 100gold a sale. Even today the gold per sale is 70-100gold as the price of mats has just plummeted.
Tailoring. Netherweave cloth turn into bolts then turn into a cloth item to DE....was a good way to get arcane dust to make mongoose. This has worked very well the last few weeks.
