I recall a thread from
a few months back discussing the viability of large glowing shards
utilizing player made products.
Well, I modified the
strategy a bit, and over the course of the day fine tuned it. It
requires So, here we go.
The simple formula is
Icy Cloak -> disenchant to Large Glowing Shard.
Icy Cloak:

The recipe for this is
sold by the trade goods merchant in Southshore for the alliance, I do
not know for the horde.
My costs were simple.
Frost Oil - 1 per 1gp - 1.3gp
Mageweave - 20 stack for 80 - 90sp
Thick Spider Silk - 2 for 80 sp
Thread - 4.25sp each
So, approximate costs
were 1.3 + .70 + .8 + .085 = 2.9gp rounded up on the high end, 1 + .6
+ .8 + .085 = 2.5gp on the low end.
The Large Glowing Shard
sells on Deathwing for 4gp a pop. Or as an enchanter, you can
enchant +3 1h striking for 5 using this.
For those individuals
who like to do this on a self-sufficient basis, the Frost Oil formula is
sold by a goblin on the north wall of where
the Alterac Crushridge Elite ogres are. Also, if you don't
have a herbalist, Khadgar's Whisker and Wintersbite are
moderately affordable on Deathwing, dropping
the production cost of frost oil down to about 70 sp. If you have a
alchemist or an alchemist buddy, that's
another 30-60sp of end item profit. Frost oil requires a 200 skill in
alchemy.
Thick spider silk can
be easily farmed by those 38+ in dustwallow marsh, in the Darkmist cave.
They also drop decent vendor loot (3-5sp each) as well as Shadow
Silk, which can be used in tailoring to
produce 38+ Shadow Priest gear that sells moderately well.
In 15 mins saturday, I
bought, tailored, disenchanted, and put 8 shards up on auction.
Remember, shards have no value, hence the AH does not charge you a fee
for putting them up for auction. I logged in
the next day, all had been bought out at 4gp.
This is a simple method
to constantly auction with no loss. It's a proven formula, at least in
terms of large servers where enchanting is in moderate to high
demand (refer back to the post on
disenchanting Green Lenses).
Anyway, thought I'd put
this up so others can utilize this. Thanks.
