I love my engineers. They don't make much money but they are very enjoyable to play for me. With Engineering it's an expectation that they will be the redheaded step children by making gold. Their gold making abilities have advanced with the last two expansions but still they have a long way to go before challenging the heavy money hitters.
I was reading the PTR notes, especially the changes that occur in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. With many of the quest hubs changing or being eliminated and the Sha blight covering the area's reputation and rewards become more interesting. But a little tidbit caught my eye:
- On the PTR, any mob in Vale of Eternal Blossoms can drop
Schematic: Chief Engineer Jard's Journal. This is smart loot, meaning that it will only drop for eligible Engineers. This contains recipes for 
Jard's Peculiar Energy Source, 
Not Sky Claw, 
Advanced Refrigeration Unit, 
Pierre, and Rascal-Bot.
A couple of these items were promised in previous patches to be removed due to programming issues. But to add 5 items for sale for engineers will give a quick boost to profitability. The pets and mounts especially. So looking at the items that are required to produce these you can put together that having a large quantity of reserves can put you in the driver seat.
(all of these recipes might change, but you can get a good idea of just what will be required from even the PTR recipes).
Sky Claw
Requires 30 Jard's Peculiar Energy and 30 Living Steel
Advanced Refrigerator Unit
Requires 5 Jard's Peculiar Energy and 5 Living Steel
Pierre
15 Jard's Peculiar Energy and 15 Living Steel
Rascal-Bot
15 Jard's Peculiar Energy and 15 Living Steel
Jard's Peculiar Energy Source Is the main component of each of these recipes and depending on whether it is BOE or BOP will determine it's viability to sell by itself.
The common link of all of these materials is the use of Ghost Iron Bars for production. Living Steel is transmuted by alchemist so it will again be in high demand. The Living Steel market has been depressed as of late so now is a good time to grab some quick low priced purchases.
As more from the 5.4 PTR is identified finding the niches ahead of time and preparing your farmers and purchases can get you that ride fast and have you ready to ride the gold lightning.
