Wow I didn't even know we could enchant our crafting gear. Thank you.

Thank you so much for explaining all of this so thoroughly and giving us all of the addons that you use! You're a blessing to this community

This is the best gold making video I've ever watched. It's exactly what I do, but manually. I haven't played since Pandaria and made so many mistakes with my professions as I was learning. This video is well produced and paced excellently. I wish I watched this video a couple of weeks into starting Dragonflight. Well done!

As always, Hazel delivered another flawless video on taking my addiction to Warcraft to the next level, THANKS!

Thanks for the spreadsheet access, made it easy for me to find some add-ons I have been considering! Great videos BTW

Dude I can always count on Hazel for making a really pleasant, informative video for exactly what I need. Was a blessing to find this while sifting through all the clickbait screaming youtuber garbage

Hazel, this is such a banger video - thank you for this! so sick

i was looking forward to this video, thank you hazel!

There were multiple things in this video that were not easily shown in the professions tabs. Thank you for the info

Blacksmithing also has a purple profession item. It's the tool. The recipe drops from Rohzor Forgesmash in the open world. As for filtering out the Tuskarr tackleboxes, you can use Silver dragon and put tackleboxes into Ignore list. It would still ping you about the dirt piles and the expedition bags.

Heya Hazel! I haven't played WoW in years but am getting back into it with some friends. I remembered how you helped me get set up for making gold with TSM back in the day, and its nice seeing you've found an easier way haha. Though some part of me may drag me back into the spreadsheet world of TSM someday if I get heavily invested lol. Thanks again for always being helpful and informative for folks like me that need a little help.

So many great tips! Thanks so much for sharing! 👍🏻😁

I picked up CraftSim a few months ago because of another one of your videos. It really helped a lot! Another nice feature it has is that it gives a projected profit or loss on a crafting order where you would supply the mats. I've definitely benefitted from having multiple tools for different recipes. As a tailor, I use multicraft for making bolts, then resourcefulness when I make those bolts into bags. Inspiration for high-difficulty crafting orders, resourcefulness if rank 5 is already guaranteed.

Aw I just love that you picked Darnassus as your catwalk for the outro 💚

This is an amazing guide, thank you :)

Great guide, thank you hazel❤❤❤

I had no idea you could enchant profession tools and accessories, thanks Hazel!

Thank you Hazel for your helpful guidance as always. Sadly I'm one of those players who will be buying crafters' goods rather than becoming competition on the AH! I wish I could get into professions (hence watching this video) but it's like there's a switch in my brain which just plays white noise when I try to engage with it. I just don't find it fun and the more complex it is, the more I tune out! Shame, but oh well :) Glad there are crafters out there enjoying the system though!

what a likable person you are!

SOS! WE NEED A MEGA-DUNGEON GUIDE! PWEASE! LOVE YOUR GUIDES WITH THE AWESOME GRAPHICS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CONTENT!

You can see if anyone needs something crafted. That can be a way to get gold. What you said in the video have good ideas.

For me professions have never been more confusing than they are in this expansion. I've gotten some profs to around 60 or so before the trainers have nothing left. And I have no clue what these crafting stats do. So thank you for this guide.

Great guide, thank you! You said it right, if it is easy, everyone would be doing it now. I'm still going to stick to my spreadsheets for profit calculations, but the prof knowledge tracker addon is a must have for me!

Thank you so much! I've been putting off getting into crafting bc of time and honestly the effort I'd need to put in to get things off the ground. You always make things super simple to follow, and I really appreciate it.

Just a player for raids/M+ nothing else. Kept my main professions relevant. Holy moly after I saw this vid I am kicking myself on what I’ve missed. Thanks for this kind of makes me want to do other things rather than kill really really hard stuff now.

Hazel you never disappoint. Please never stop playing wow, god damn it you are the best. Thank you very Fkn much

Thanks a lot for your efort to teach us.

this vid has made me start leveling my profs (ench and JC)! hope i make at least 1M before the next expansion!

I have moved so so much in terms of jewelcrafting and engineering mats. I don't make finished products all that much, but I have sold tens of thousands of glossy stones, frameless lenses, blasting powder, etc.

Holy cow Hazel, I owe you a huge thank you! As someone with max alchemy and almost all trees filled out, I've been playing the auction house game for a while using the auctionator add-on. But as for calculating, what's going to be most profitable, I've been doing that the long-handed math way. With varying degrees of success. I downloaded craft sim as soon as you mentioned it and oh my gosh I don't know where it's been all this time. I made about 80k just yesterday! I might be able to retire my notebook with all my lists of mat costs and selling prices. ❤

I could have used this 6 months ago. Thank you for clarifying

At this point i believe YT can read minds cause ive been thinking about farming gold via proffesions cause a friend gave me 5k gold since ive had only 200 on me and needed a repair. Love the video, hope youll make more!

I absolutely felt and understood your “Not having to talk to strangers” comment lol

Great Video! You said "I Doo Doo" at the end of the video. 😂

13:20 "they're cheap please get them" I see what you're doing.... ;)

i literally just said "i miss hazel let me check youtube" and you appeared in my feed ty

Thanks!

@hazelnuttygames - Something TSM does really well is, giving you an idea of the sell rate of an item without needing to experiment too much on your own. When looking at the tooltip of an item with TSM installed you'll get a stat called "Region Ave Daily Sold". For commodities this is VERY important for identifying realistic returns. For example - invis potions typically have a pretty decent profit margin but if you look at the ave daily sold, you'll see they don't move very quickly maybe 100-150 per day. So you can make a few to toss on the AH or you could make 1k HP pots that sell between 2-4k units per day. When you're talking about moving 500k worth of raw mats having that Region Ave Daily Sold information is the single most valuable piece of info after you figure out profitability.

A tool with Resourcefulness is fantastic for making side hustle sales on work orders ;)

Hopeing this helps someone: One of my fav ways to farm easy gold is the frost tuna fishing holes you get from Tukkrrrrrrt rep

Blizzard really went nuts with professions this expansion. I’m not a huge fan of how complicated they made it but it’s far better than the dumpster fire they gave us in Shadowlands. I gave up on professions really quickly back then. This current system has me modestly engaged.

Is there a way to sort all of the profitable items in your profession window so they're all easy to find? I've been going down the lists with enchanting and jewelcrafting so it's thousands of recipes that I have to check. I have been using CraftSim, Auctionator, and TSM.

I want to start making gold but this sounds so daunting to even try and begin

That inscription craftable was a nice tip, totally missed it rofl

Thank you Hazel, for the great video :)

Thanks for the info, hopefully i'll be able to pay for Diablo 4 with these advices

Great video, I have already been doing some of these but there was some great tips that I have been missing out on. What is the addon @15:08 that gives her that nice map overlay?

Question: You say you don't use TSM here but I see on your spreadsheet of addons that you have TSM and LootAppraiser, how are you utilizing these 2 addons?

Kira and her ice cube 😄❤

Gracias

is the weakarua from the docs the same as the weakarua in the description

Thats crazy. I'm looking on my alchemist now and nothing besides transmutes is providing any profits

So what do we do when we full scan and the only profit item craftsim is telling us is dracothyst?

thats a seriously huge amount of information for my tiny newbie brain lol

I see what you're doing hazel, telling us to buy a specific potion when you're an alchemist haha

Is it still Worth stepping into alchemie now? No proffession experience yet

10:16 Forbidden Reach still has knowledge point rares, summoning items are cheap on the AH. Look under Misc, Reagent and epic quality or above for the summoners for your two particular professions. 15:14 Unlock the Field of Ferocity on you high ilvl toons. It has ~600g base in addition to any gold rewards. This half-week, I got 1856g for completing the WQ in war mode.

Watched your video thinking maybe I had did something wrong in the past or at least with the new system. I have always had trouble making gold then the longneck mount showed up and the prices went crazy with the TSM addon etc. This expansion with its new crafting systems has made me realize I just never had the time to make gold in a massive manner and I have just stopped playing altogether now. I miss the days when there were better things to do to make gold like soloing dungeons. Could play classic I know but it is just missing to many features that I have come to like in retail. It is sad but I think the WoW economy has killed the game for me. Just like the real world inflation is getting insane.

Hazel! Thank you so much for this! I'm a long-time alchemist and I have felt so lost this season with the regional auction house! Nothing feels profitable! I *used* to make millions but I've just been watching my reserves dwindle as I've swapped from paying subscription in tokens to paying in moneys! I've always done a spreadsheet to determine profitability of a particular craft and that's gone out the window completely with the complexity that comes with the multicraft/inspired bonuses. That said, your recommendation for craftsim is very, very appreciated!

See I do all of these things (and I'm also an alchemist) and the reason I was having issues and got discouraged from trying to sell stuff on the auction house is because I kept making things that Craftsim said were profitable and then they wouldn't sell before the price plummeted, and then I'm just stuck with a bunch of phials and potions that if I sell them it'll be a massive loss (also I got tired of using Craftsim because it's so laggy). Though now it's been so long that I do have like 7k mettle, so that could really help me maybe get some profit through guaranteeing rank 3 stuff. But my bigger problem is my computer broke so I haven't been able to play for two weeks (if my computer hadn't broke I would've maxed out my herbalism and alchemy knowledge by now too). I've gotten so into professions this expansion that I just recently (up until my computer broke anyway) started working on my 6th character for professions. I've got herb/alch on my main, a mining/bs character who's 1 week away from being maxed in mining, a mining/jc character, an herb/inscription character, a skinning/lw character whose profession knowledge is still pretty low because he's new, and my newest one is tailoring/enchanting. When I get a new computer I'm gonna try to get back into gold making.

The main issue I run into while on the Auction House are the Goblins, constantly, always, undercutting. You might post 2000 vials, but it slowly to never sells because someone with 200 will undercut you by maybe a few silver. Then the next minute, someone undercuts them by half the amount in gold, with 1000 listed, for no logical reason. Rinse repeat, until your 1900 vials get mailed back to you. You also can't play their game because say you list 500 at 50g a piece, by the end you'll be posting 20 at 10g a piece. It's ridiculous.

Here's one easy gold making tip for anyone who has a lot of max level alts: Do the Tuskarr feast's quest every week on every toon that can do it. The quest reward has a small chance to give you an Alchemical Flavor Pocket which is a highly sought after item that can be sold on the auction house. Not sure if they're region-wide or not, but I've seen them going anywhere from 50k-100k and I managed to sell one I got last week for 83k. It's not an insane amount or anything, but it's fairly easy to do on any max level alts you might have.

So is alchemy the best money maker?

I crossed 15 million gold this week so now I’m on to 20 million.

why does it now show profit for me under optional reagents?

Blacksmithing has an Epic hammer!

I just made a million gold overnight by selling the 97k fish I had left over from the Tuskar rep turn ins that I bought for 20 silver and sold for 11-13g each. Well, actually they sold in less than an hour.

Show us ur longboi mount

So just- *large* amounts of alchemy… those two addons at least can probably help find what’s profitable atm. Maybe start not with 100, but 20-50 for those of us still on the lower end and hope it ramps from there when you add it to the racing and stuff.

The "Simulate Knowledge Distribution" button has been greyed out for me since the patch. Is it the same for y'all?

How the FUDGE do you get every knowledge point in professions? I have been playing DF since it cam out, and I think I have 85 total knowledge points so far. lol

Idk if I've missed something but engineering feels like a huge waste of time past the wormhole toy (which sometimes even loses you time if it sticks you at the ass end of nowhere in the zone you pick + you're so fast in this expansion anyway so what's the point). There are never any crafting orders with materials included, only people taking advantage of engineers trying to do their 2 weekly orders and in my entire time since playing this expansion I have yet to see a crafting order that would make profit to craft. Honestly hoping I'm dumb and have just missed the point but I'm feeling like I'd be better off re-rolling or levelling profs on an alt and ignoring my mains prof.

When farming the draconic shards of knowledge, it's important to know that it's a catchup system: they drop more frequently if you are behind on your knowledge points, but not so much if you are up to date. Also, if you want to get to specific details of the profession system, there are two ways you can make a lot of money that you might miss: (1) using Illustrious insight to guarantee quality three on consumables, matts or equipment enchants; (2) understanding the hidden crafting bonuses. In the first case, there are some itens that you cannot guarantee quality 3 no matter how many knowledge points you have. You can only get quality three by inspiration procs, using illustrious insights or by the hidden crafting bonuses that i will explain later. These quality three itens tend to cost more on the auction house and so you can make a lot of money this way. That's why artisan's mettle are so much more valluable than people think. In the seccond case, every time you craft something, you have a hidden chance of making that item with a bonus skill that go anywhere from 0 to 5% from the recipe difficulty. you can proc 0%, 1%, 2% etc. The closest your skill is of reaching the recipe difficulty, the higher the chance of getting a quality 3 item with this proc. That's where your racial profession bonuses comes in if you have any: they can get you closer to reaching the recipe dificulty.

How did you manage to get your avatar to wear both glasses and a hat?

mine is multicraft and enchant with resoursefull.

*cries in Leatherworking*

What are your thoughts about using TSM (Trade Skill Master) instead of Auctionator?

my brain cannot comprehend

As far as capital goes, i would just honestly go around and pick up the tuskar boxes. Plenty of them in the world, don't need a shovel and they have 100's of gold in just vendor items. Not to mention fish, islefins go for about 120g each as well.

I wish they made this gear transmogable ... I don't know why it isn't. Looks super good but oh no! You can wear it only 5% of the time. What os the logic behind that?

ya cause sadly tailoring has both up hill climb of point spending as its BOTH gathering points must be spent to get the cloth to drop b 4 you can even start making anything. Same with enchanting both have the proff is spit with gather trates like they have 100% regen source like herbing or mining.

i sell mats, run races and do WQs/Weekly stuff.

Craftsim gives 300 lua errors in 20 seconds "attempt to index global ProfessionsFrame a nil value" ... am I doing something wrong

I need a guild that can just tell me what to make, Sells them, and takes a cut. I don't bother figuring out AH or Orders to be honest. Navigating all the Mats and Talent paths is all I have time for, or Patience for tbh.

Blacksmithing has a purple tool, too...

What does getting to 100 in your crafting profession actually do for you? Seems like it's pretty irrelevant after about 50, so maybe I'm missing something...

i have everything on phials maxed out and dont have a single profitable recipe

NO ONE HAS EXPLAINED : what exactly the 3 phials of deftness, perception, & finesse do to crafting. what phial does what to what stat.

the only problem i have is at this point your no playing WoW but a broker sim

You can also get one more skill point from the appropriate rare in Forbidden Reach.

i havnt profitable recipe :(

i hate the new crafting so much i didnt play for months and i feel like i missed out on so much crafting knowlage that i cant compete. And while i was leveling i dumbped all my crafing knowelge into stuff that seemed intresting not into the correct things beliving i could reset it anyways like tallents. and when i realised i couldnt i didnt want to switch profesions cuz of sunken costs. This feels so bad to play with

Im just gonna spend an hour and a half of work on a WoW token then AH flip. May buy a token per 3 months. But i am doing herbalism

I would love to get into gold-making through professions more, but it sounds like you *need* addons to really understand how to profit from it...

So someone who plays an alchemist wants us to buy potions on the auction house so that we can make money too.

ya in dragonflight as someone thats been running all classes dps & every proff, the proff had to be ignored as its IMPOSSABLE to do compared to all patches, even did the proff tools in BFA but Dragonflights proff system is ANTI alt, its just can't be done & keep 16 toons geared via LFR. Its just too tedious¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This game and the proc chances hate me. In season1 inspiration procces so few times that i made up to 300k loss per crafting session eventho i was supposed to make profit. I tried my hands on the versa flasks today and crafting sim tells me that the craft is 14g profit/craft. I bought a bunch of mats and the expected profit for that session was 2,8k gold and i made 3k loss on that... I just want some crafts that guarantee profit..

YOU CAN CRAFT GOLD NOW???

Blacksmith also has epic hammer.

idk why but simcraft always shows my profit is 0
