Enchantrix + Auction House = Gold

Enchantrix is an addon that takes advantage of a very powerful skill: disenchanting. Do you ever see a green item for sale and think to yourself, "What a useless item. No one will buy that." Well, YOU can buy that, disenchant it, and sell the raw materials you glean from it.

Enchantrix makes this process so much more efficient. It, like Auctioneer, builds a database of how much certain enchanting materials sell for, and which items yield which materials. With this, it can compare how much a certain Auction House item costs to how much you could sell the materials for if you disenchanted it. So, you can scan the Auction House, find items that sell more when disenchanted, buy those items and disenchant them, and sell the materials for profit!

This is a great way to make money AND raise your Enchanting skill. These materials are always in demand, because Enchanters are always in need of them. So, if you're getting tired of just using Auctioneer, give Enchantrix a try! I will be posting a more detailed guide in the days to follow.

PPP: Major Mana Potion

Time for another PPP, that is, Particularly Profitable Pattern installment, a guide to buying and reselling vendor items for easy gold!

Everyone loves an Alchemist, because their potions can be used by anyone. One of the most valuable potions for other players is the Major Mana Potion. They sell very well in the Auction House. Unfortunately, the recipe is BoP, so you can't sell it anymore. Still, Major Mana Potions are easy for you to make, and who doesn't love an Alchemist who can make useful potions!

It sells for only 3 gold from Magnus Frostwake in the Western Plaguelands, so if you're in the area, buy one. You have to have completed the Butcher Scholomance quest to be able to see this shop, which explains why so few people know it's here.
