So i played with ore shuffle lately. Massive ore shuffle. Prospected around 15k ore (750 stacks), cost per stack varied from 15 to 25g each (22-3 on average) if I take 1.2 gold per ore this sums to 18k invested + 1350g on settings - lets round up to 20k gold invested
These were the results:
-~120x each blue color gem
-~400+ x each green color gem
-2500 shards (250 jc gems) (7 gold each)
Now taking JCer to make some greenie jewelerys and DE them
-1800 spirit dust (2g each)
-100 essences (10-15g each)
-35 large shards (after turning them into) [40-45g each]
Converted part of that dust into essences for better profits
Cut leftover 300 green gems for perfect cuts, made around 30 perfect cuts, vendored rest (250g vendor)
Took rares to transmute master to make metas - biggest profitmaker IMO
60x cast transmute primal - 79 metas come out (180g each)
Now I'm left with 360 pure rares (10g each uncut, 15-30 useful cuts) so take 18g each on average
If I manage to sell everything I will make:
-250 gold vendoring cut greenies
-2k gold selling jc gems
-2.5k selling dust
-3k selling essences
-1500g shards (+200g a day sha crystal cd)
-6500g selling rares
-30 perfect cuts that might be some odd 1k
-14.000g selling metagems
That's total of 31,000 gold, -5% AH cut it's lil under 30k (29.450)
45% profit might not be so bad but lets look at how much work it takes:
-Prospecting ores 3000 casts x2s = almost 2 hours on prosp casts alone + looting = 3.5-4 hours of total mind numbing task
-Making & disenchanting jewelery = 1000 casts, then 1000 disenchants one by one, another 2-3 hours due to constant inventory full garbage
That's around five - seven damn hours of boredom torture. If you take that 9k earned gold this is actually really crappy maker. I'm making 6-9k per hour just plain farming embersilk cloth, and this is far more entertaining, to pull 50 mobs and swipe them in two clean globals. And that gold is best case scenario when no scrub undercuts you by 30% on something, driving the price to oblivion for next few days.
I think I'll scrap this booshit and just use the ores for trillium bar transmuting. Can launch smelting -> transmuting with one cast and do something else which i can't with this dumb prospect / DE thing. I'm not risking using autoclicker or some prospecitng bot, no.
How do you guys shuffle being time effective??
