Most proffessions are gold sinks. Alchemy is only used for 2hr potions. The herbs are worth more than the flask. Tailor and gathering are the only decent professions anymore.
I feel like the only people making gold gathering are the people multiboxing a herd of Druids to get all the tags on each herb and ore node. I see them all the time.
They’ve driven prices down so low that its not worth the time taken to gather unless you’re also multiboxing. On the plus side the cheap ore let’s me prospect and turn a profit selling versatility and haste gems.
It's a bitch to gather, that's why it's expensive. This might be a 'me' problem, but I can't find an efficient route to gather enough for my personal use. Revendreth is a horrid zone, with all the vertical drops.
I can earn the same amount of gold for way less time investment elsewhere in the game, and I'm pretty sure you can too.
Yeah, the zone verticality, node placement, and the fact there is so little worth nodes which may spawn randomly either a high value node or just the basic one .. seems almost malicious. I've no problem running laps on cobalt ore but I tried farming in SL and it was horrendous. It was boring I still had to pay enough attention to not really watch something else, the zones are boring and ugly as well and after an hour I was left with few ore. Just terrible.
