Crafting = useless ?

[nondachi]

True i've always though that beeswax is a excellent way to make money since bchips and dwater are very cheap materials.

but iam looking for a craft which is the most profitable without wasting days for you items to be sold in the ah.

then sell them to npcs. i know for a fact that some crafts offer items you can make which sell for more to npcs than it costs to make them, usually to the guild npcs. look around and see what you can do. ever since i started smithing, i've never sold anything except materials (iron/steel ingots, sheets, and scales) at the AH...it takes too long. i sell to npc for break even or small loss. usually its not too bad, but lately, i have stumbled across a few recipes i can actually profit from synthing and selling to npcs. making money while skilling up...aint that the life?

in case you're wondering, i won't reveal the secret and it *isn't* in smithing...i'm working up 4 crafts atm what i will say is...a good way to make money from crafting is to desynth stuff. goblin equipment is fairly inexpensive and desynths into valuable materials if you hit an HQ (way more common than normal desynths). also try weapons you can buy at npcs, they desynth into valuable materials as well. i stumbled onto one the other day that desynths into 3 iron ingots or 4 steel ingots if you get HQ2 or 3.
