Gold farming Guide with WOW Patch 3.3 Part 2

Herbalists and Skinners don’t have a great deal of change, apart from the Arctic Fur and Borean Leather.

The following is what will lose value after the patch: 
Saronite and Titanium: Alchemists, I personally wouldn’t delve into this market. Too many will be doing it and prices will crash on Titanium so fast that even if you sell everything on patch day.
Arctic Fur: It will now be tradeable from a vendor for a pretty meager cost.
Crusader Orbs: In this last patch Crusader Orbs where the main crafting ingredient for all the new crafts. Likewise 3.3 gets its own version: Primordial Saronite. People eager to own the newer, better gear, and as such the older gear and older mats for this gear will decrease in value.

Some valuable tips for making gold with Patch 3.3 are as follows:

Don’t invest more than what you are willing to lose.
Do research on own server’s economy! Find out what will best suit you, and adapt!

Now, starting with the simple ones: Enchanting and Jewelcrafting. People eager to chant up their new gear from the new raids ASAP, but pay more attention on mats and scrolls. Stockpile your mats now and slam them and your scrolls in the AH and you’re possible set for a small fortune!

Jewelcrafting follows the same lines. Time it right with both cut and uncut Superior and Epic gems in the AH (as said for Enchanting) and you’ll be set for profiting. It would also be good to repeat it every weekday after that for the following 2 or 3 weeks for best profit, on weekends the proper Raids die down a bit.

Tailor should focus on Cloths. Your Moonshroud, Ebonweave, and Spellweave will all be in demand after the patch, because of the new patterns from the new faction:
Feet:
Pattern: Deathfrost Boots
Pattern: Sandals of Consecration
Legs:
Pattern: Leggings of Woven Death
Pattern: Lightweave Leggings

Blacksmiths should grab yourself a ton of cheap Titanium, Eternals get them cheap now if you can though don’t worry if you can’t – prices won’t rise by a lot (if they do at all). Get it crafted into Titansteel and make your new crafts for some easy money:
Feet:
Plans: Boots of Knightly Upheaval
Plans: Hellfrozen Bonegrinders
Plans: Protectors of Life
Legs:
Plans: Pillars of Might
Plans: Legplates of Painful Death
Plans: Puresteel Legplates

Leatherworkers should also buy some cheap Eternals now if possible. As well as this, Arctic Fur will now be purchasable from certain vendors for 10x Heavy Borean Leather. The value of Arctic fur is predicted to drop, but the value of borean leather is predicted a possible rise! For your new crafts it would be a good idea to stock up on a few Jormungar Scales, Icy Dragonscales, and Nerubian Chitin.
Feet:
Pattern: Blessed Cenarion Boots
Pattern: Earthsoul Boots
Pattern: Footpads of Impending Doom
Pattern: Rock-steady Treads
Legs:
Pattern: Bladeborn Leggings
Pattern: Dragonic Bonesplinter Legguards
Pattern: Legwraps of Unleashed Fury
Pattern: Lightning-infused Leggings

Alchemists stay in the same boat as Enchanters and Jewelcrafters. The main source of profit is Flasks. Time it right by putting them up for sale an hour or 2 at most before your server’s Raids kickstart and you’ll be set.
