Unfortunately, one component of making gold in this game is just pure luck. If you're in the right place at the right time, you could make it rich. Perhaps you log on to find extremely cheap Saronite Ores below vendor price? Maybe someone dropped a recipe for below market value? Maybe a farmer is looking for someone to buy out his stock of herbs? Maybe a naive player is trying to clear out their entire bank?
A few weeks ago everybody thought for sure they were removing the Insane in the Membrane Achievement from the game, and thus everyone was power-leveling the reputations before Cataclysm. Well as many people know, they announced that they won't be removing it from the game, and they will only be removing certain reputations associated with the achievement. The fallout of this was a massive drop in the prices of Librams, Pristine Black Diamonds, Darkmoon Faire decks, Ravenholdt Junkboxes, and Ink of the Sea.
I call it luck, although some may call it proactive decisiveness, farming for the Pristine Black Diamonds while they were inflated really payed off. Since I took advantage of this small window of opportunity and farmed up two Pristine Black Diamonds from Scholomance, I was able to make off with a cool 1,8k gold in two 20 minute runs, only to see the price plummet a couple days later due to the recent news.
Have you ever taken advantage of something like this and made off like a bandit with some amazing profit? Feel free to share in the comments below!
