[Jewelcrafting] Daily Quest Green Gems!

First of all, if you are a Jewelcrafter you must be doing your daily quest every single day, time permitting. One of the most important ways to make gold with Jewelcrafting is by cutting rare and epic gems, metas, or selling the crafted rings. These are all gained via the Jewelcrafting daily which is given by Marith Lazuria in The Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar.

After doing the Jewelcrafting daily for several days in Orgrimmar I have begun to see a growing trend. The day that Hessonite is required for the daily, the prices skyrocket and the same goes for Nightstone. Hessonite and Nightstone, are so far the key gems used in two of the Jewelcrafting dailies, and it is advisable to wait to sell these uncut gems on the days of each respective daily quest. I have seen the prices of each individual gem skyrocket as high as 350g a pop on the day of that specific daily.

However you manage to obtain your uncut gems, save your Hessonite and Nightstone until the Jewelcrafting daily requires those gems!

Note: Zephyrite and Jasper are also used in the daily quest now too.

[Fishing] Volatile Fire in Hyjal

This amazing new fishing location was shown to me by one of my guildies, and it is an excellent place to farm Volatile Fire. The location is Sulfuron Spire in Mount Hyjal. You will be fishing from Pools of Fire that spawn in any of the lava pools in this area. This area is beginning to be competetive on my realm at least, so farm there while you can!

While you are waiting for the pools to respawn, kill all the level 81 Elites in the area because they also drop greys, greens, and Volatile Fire. They only have 110k hitpoints and are easily killable at level 85.

Finally, if you can't be bothered to kill mobs while you are fishing, by simply fishing into the lava where it is deep enough, you will still find Volatile Fire at a slightly lower drop-rate. 

Happy farming!

[Alchemy] Transmute: Living Elements

Transmute: Living Elements

4 sec cast	1 sec cooldown

Tools:

Philosopher's Stone

Reagents:

Volatile Life (15)

Transforms the essence of life into another element.  The exact result is not known ahead of time.

Blizzard has recently changed this Transmute so that you will know what you are getting, depending on which zone you are in. This is an extremely profitable gold making method for Transmute Alchemists because not only will you get 15 of another element, it will proc you additional Volatiles of an unknown element.

The zone Transmutes are as follows:
Mount Hyjal: Volatile Fire
Vashj'ir: Volatile Water
Deepholm: Volatile Earth
Uldum: Volatile Air

Currently the best way to make gold is simply farming and unloading anything you get onto the Auction House, but if you want to start leveling up professions check the prices of all Volatiles, and you will most likely be able to use Transmute: Living Elements to save yourself a lot of gold!
