Most of the crafting advice is useless. If you are swapping multiple green gems for arcane dust...please send me a tell and we can cut out the middle man. The gems sell for a lot more than the dust.

You are throwing away gold if you craft to DE the way this guide suggests, at least with a few items.

When was this guide even written? Vortex's have been around for badges for some time now, and the brilliant glass changes have made green gems profitable.

Anyway, the only really good advice was the aldor rep items, but few people have the necessary insanity required to sit and kill the same mobs for 6 hours, which is what you need to do to guarantee a good profit/hour.

Best way to make money? I bought my girl her epic flier. She has a toddler at home and no job. During the kid's nap and when he sleeps at night, she uses the fast flier to mine and fish. She sends me the ore, and cooks/sells the fish. Every morning I get my cut of her sales.

That's right, I have an employee. 150g a day for the rest of my life from someone who only plays to fish and pvp, all for an initial investment of 5k. Not to mention that any primals I need end up in my mailbox when i get home from work.
