The best way to make gold in World of Warcraft usually falls under professions and crafting. However opportunities and niches arise in the auction house when an items demand surpasses the supply which causes that item to either go out of stock or spike in price.
This has occured recently on my server with Iceweb Spider Silk. The price has gone up from an average of 4g to 10g each for an entire week as it is used in crafting Brilliant Spellthread which has gone up in demand since patch 3.3 hit.
Due to this increase in price it has brought the opportunity cost of going out to farm it high enough (800g/hour) that it is worth my time. It has become more profitable than some of my other gold making activities aside from Inscription. I combine farming and Luke’s methods to get the most gold an hour.
This is a great method to earn gold if you do not yet have professions or have ones that don’t earn that much gold, anyone can go out and farm at this spot.
Results in 15 minutes of farming
19 Iceweb Spider Silks at 9g each = 171g
Selling Greys = 22g
D/E 1 green = 15g
Total = 208g in 15 minutes
60/15 = 4 runs an hour = 832g/hr

is there somewhere where you list list all the addons that you use?
Can you do some videos taking this methods write down what you got then calcutate it on another server
YOur on my server!
@cencredas look at the last part of the article, they are listed there
@Barrakk That would take a lot of time to go on every server, just visit your auction house and if the price of iceweb spider silks are greater than 3g each then it’s probably worth it to go farm
@Timothy cool, send me a mail or send me a message to Skelebones

@iostus
It comes with the default UI, click the clock at the bottom of your mini map and it should come up.

Thank you for the support, I wouldn’t be doing these videos unless it helped people out. Thanks for the comment.
