Because: I'm an alchemist, I can charge from transmutes, or sell my own transmutes. Primal mights are nice little income, not to mention high end pots and flasks. Also I can make my own pots/flasks and in my opinion, alchemy is by far easiest profession to max. I don't bother to gather my own herbs unless I'm doing quests or just farming because selling a stack of pots gives enough cash to buy mats for 20 pots (Sha'tar EU) Only reason to pick up herbs is motes of life and selling those primals as well. Daily quests, which you can complete up to 25 per day, each granting 10g minimum and 24g max. Having engineer hunter alt who can farm Nagrand air clouds for primal airs and Zangar for water.

Most of the money comes from farming Teremus in Blasted lands and selling 1-3 blues for 20-60g each. I often get more than 100g for that 7 minutes kill. My other trick is that I have a set that gives physical IMMUNITY against lvl70 normal dual wielding mobs. (high block% and avoidance, filling up the attack table) I pull the whole room of 20-30 Demon Hunter mobs at Black Temple, put my back to a corner and they kill themselves on my sporeggar shield + shield spike. Daily quests are not profitable for me, but sometimes I do them :) Link :) http://veszetthorda.com/blog/uploaded_images/epeen-728062.jpg I’ve never been so rich than now with my prot warrior.

It's takes about 40 min but you make about 50g from selling all the greens and blues to a vendor, more if someone can DE (large brilliant shards). Then you hit the AH and sell the runecloth, dark runes and boe blues. A warrior and priest Scholo run.

You can spend more on weapons, rifles and armour which guarantee a greater eternal essence. Buy lvl 51-59 Greens from the AH at 4g and under, disenchant them, sell reagents.

I don't get it. I'm a raiding tank (up to Magtheridon but still), I have all my professions maxed, I have 6 Epic (including 3 flyers) mounts and right now I have just shy of 2k gold and that's only because I've been leveling an alt. The real key is this... Do the dailys, super easy. NEVER buy from the AH unless it's an absolute emergency. The AH is a money black hole. l2fish/cook, can't say that enough. Farm to sell. I'll kill anything and loot it because it's all vendorable and you may get lucky and get that epic drop. I hear this all the time, people complaining about being poor. I don’t get it.

They know it costs me money and time to tank instances. I need to be crafting or making myself money. They need me to run instances. In return for doing endless instance runs they give me stuff that they craft. Flasks, Food, Pots, Wards, Armor Kits, Jewels etc. This helps me maintain the cash I need for repairs and lvling my own crafts. I dont see an epic flyer anywhere in my future. I usually give all my BOE epic patterns and drops to the guild because it it worth more to the guild than me having a dragon. Roll an Ice mage for farming
