Mommar here.
It is Tuesday and by the time you read this hopefully the servers will be open. But let us first jump into the way back machine a couple of months ago and get some comments on the farming just after Mists of Pandaria opened.
...... So many materials, so little time
----- I can't make gold, too easy to get Ghost Iron Ore
------ mmmmm Herbalism
Mists of Pandaria from the start made crafting materials very accessible. This time around there was not a shortage of skins or ore to craft with. It drove down the prices of stacks of crafting material, which drove down prices on many of the items that were going to be gold making winners.
Now, let's fast forward to post patch 5.1. With the patch release, spawn rate for Ghost Iron Ore and herb nodes were reduced.
Now before we all start panicking and running out. This is good news for Gold Goblins. Where farming gold may become a little bit more work to obtain, the commodities themselves should start driving up in price. Nodes for mining and Herbalism are still there, There just will be a lower amount on the Auction House as players will have to take longer to collect. It will raise crafting prices on items, but also should raise selling prices on items.
Your best bet is to keep a close eye on materials as they arrive to the Auction House and look for the best buy. Also keep your cartel farmers happy with little trinkets and help when you can. Having a good solid base of farmers will help you keep your costs down as you continue to produce gold making opportunities.
Also keep an eye on automatic posting from addons. Don't be afraid to buy an underpriced item that you know will sell and relist it at a higher price. With the new upgrade system with 5.1 and excess points that players have, they are more apt to upgrade weapons as they proceed through the quest lines and dailies.
Keep your head up high, gold is just around the corner.
Good Luck and Good Gold Hunting
