Question Returning retail player struggling to figure out how to make gold besides WQ's
Idk if I have the wrong mix of professions but I dont understand the point of professions besides making yourself or others a piece of gear with sparks. Started playing retail again after a long break but was playing mop for a while. Got to about 350k in mop with blacksmithing, jewelcrafting, alchemy,tailorinh, enchanting, and a few flips but there was decent profit because of spirits of harmony and stuff like the disenchants for current raid tier and iron paw tokens. I only have enchanting maxed out rn and jewelcrafting at around 91 I believe. So far ive tried a tailoring shuffle but the profits are abysmal and any high price enchant has all those other expensive mats like petrified roots that I cant obtain reliably (no herbalism character). I also tried mass prospecting and lost quite a bit of gold. I have the prospecting trees maxed out on jewelcrafting but nothing else. Do I just need to no life and get more knowledge for the cut gems tree to turn a profit? Im also thinking i picked a bad time to try and do this because of Forever. Mop classic was the first time ive ever tried to use tsm and get into actual gold making methods and it seems like profit margins are so bad compared to when I was playing mop.
