Vendor Shuffle
Shadowlands Vendor Shuffle
What’s up Gaming Heroes!
Want to find out some good ways to make some passive gold and continue to grow your gold pile then look no further than this shuffle guide. Here we will give you some hints and tips to maximize profit with minimal effort.
Before we start it is best advised that you have exalted with at least a couple of the shadowlands factions such as “The Wild Hunt” or “The Ascended” as these will give you the trade items that you need at the cheapest price such as “luminous flux” or “Penumbra Thread”. Also make sure that you have sufficient space within your bank as you will be stocking up on large amounts of items required to craft.
Also situate yourself next to a vendor and have the “Scrapper” addon downloaded so that you can instant vendor the items when your bags are full for quick turnarounds
Be Aware!
Not all items that you can craft through professions are vendor appropriate and may yield better returns through disenchanting so make sure when you calculate the cost and profits that you check the auction house to see if it is worth disenchanting or vendoring the crafted items pick up on one or two of these write ups, it is suggested that you look at all the options on the guide to diversify your auction house and revenue streams. I have given you a preview of what the spreadsheet looks like above however click on the button to download your own copy. Please note the spreadsheet will be updated regularly with new shuffles and money making calculations so please check back for the latest update so you don’t miss out!
Tailor Items
By far and away the cheapest items to craft due to the cost of Shrouded cloth. Here you will focus on the robes as these give you the best returns based on your cost of craft to the vendor. Here you are looking at trying to make a profit of between 7.5% and above. On the screenshot you will see both the crafting cost and the vendor sell price. It is worth calculating this yourself but this gives you an idea of exactly what an item will sell for.
Leatherworking Items
I have found these items to be the most profitable, especially if the cost of pallid bones and Desolate leather are below a combined cost of 4.5g per 1 of each. Here you would be concentrating on the mail boots as well as the composite bow. The mail boots are a good entry level item to craft but the bow gives you more gold per craft (albeit at a potential of less profit percentage per craft). Again, screenshot next to guide gives you a rough idea of what to look for.
Blacksmithing Items
These are currently the least profitable due to the cost of Laestrite ore however if the price is right these can be the best due to the high vendor value of plate items. Keep an eye on the price of laestrite and if it goes around 4-4.5g per ore then 100% look at the vendor costs of these items. As you can see from the screenshot the cost to craft is a lot higher than the Vendor price
Jewel crafting Items
I know that the cost of ore is volatile due to the legendary market and the use of the green ores when crafting Shadowghast ingots but if you can pick up some cheap gems or potentially have any leftover gems from any prospecting activities, this is a great way to maximize the profits on the items. Here you would concentrate on the Laestrite items due to the cheap cost of the ore and would be best looking at the rings due to the low cost to create them.
Summary
Vendor shuffles is an ever changing market. It would be best suited for yourself to create a small list of items that you would look to check the value of on the AH daily as well as have an idea of how much each item could give you as a profit. Keeping a manual list may seem labor intensive, but the rewards for passive gold can be unlimited and be key to getting yourself 10-15% return on your investment for minimal work. Remember to keep checking back to this guide as we will update the working shuffle spreadsheet on a regular basis with new calculations to support your gold making journey.
