Day 6 of 20 Days of Gold Making.
6. Which market has made you the most gold over the years?
This...is a tough one. I think I'd have to go with Jewelcrafting, but Glyphs would certainly be second.
My main has been a Jewelcrafter since it became my main in Wrath, but I also made her a scribe at the start of Wrath as well (and have Realm First! Grand Master Scribe to prove it too!).
In order of total profit, I'd guess:
Jewelcrafting
Glyphs/Shoulder Enchants
Enchanting (tied)
Darkmoon Cards (tied)
Pets
Elementals (Stuff like Volatiles, Crystallized Fire, etc)
Crafted Gear
Overpowered MoP Blues (stuff like Bjam's Door Breaker)
Transmog Gear
Miscellaneous
Glyphs can be an extremely profitable profession, but takes a lot of time to maintain and create stock, even in the best conditions (little to no competition). In the worst conditions (AH White Knights and/or lots of competition), it can drive you insane. White Knights will not only uncut you, they'll undercut by large amounts, often below crafting cost. Heavy competition will constantly undercut you, often by small amounts, but extremely frequently. You'll fight to make precious few sales, and possibly question your sanity after cancelling and reposting 300 auctions 10 times in 1 hour. Not saying I've done that or anything...
Jewelcrafting, by and large, is consistently profitable. Obviously competition plays a factor here, but right after big (read Raid) patches, people are buying gems so fast that undercutting isn't an issue. As a matter of fast, buyers sometimes drive prices up by buying all of a particular gem up, allowing the first seller to restock to effectively set a new price point.
Enchanting is steady as well. Max level enchanting scrolls almost always sell above crafting cost. And like gems, they've sold like wildfire since 5.4.
Time is money friend!
Oh, and the title? It's a quote from O Brother Where Art Thou?
