Icy prism requirement was lowered to 1 orb and 1 stone with the arrival of Frozo, down from 3 of each. But I still find it very borderline to make those, as you tend to get 1 or 2 blue gems quite often; it's very borderline with newfound uses for frozen orbs.

As for metas, the most popular raiding ones mentioned are not always a good business - AH campers make sure of that; expect to be undercut in a matter of 20mins most. Also the required elementals (Air and Fire) tend to be pricey.

I generally tend to AH my saronite ore, since there's veritable ARMY of morons who attempt the shuffle blindly not checking the profitability of the steps/options, and selling ore around 50-60g per stack then going back to mining it is just flat out faster than juggling stuff on my proffesion slave alts. And I still get nifty quantities of elementals and occasional gem or two while mining nodes... more profit.

Heh well, if you can sell for that much you are doing the right thing. Saronite on my server is 12g 50s per stack of 20 ore. Pretty much the miners can smelt em to bars and vendor them for the same price ;-)

Often on my server, Saronite ore is BELOW the vendor price of half a saronite bar. Many times I have just bought out all the low priced Sar. ore, smelted it into bars and vendored it for a quick and tidy profit. Even worse, I often find Saronite BARS on AH for less than the price of vendor. I can buy them all, walk 20 feet to a vendor and resell them for a profit. I live on a server or clueless auction addicts.
