Today I’m going to talk about one of the main ways you can do volume crafting in The War Within!
No concentration
With volume crafting we are focusing on items you can craft in large quantities and sell on the AH. Mostly we will be looking at quality 2, as that is an easier market to target than guaranteed quality 3, which requires all the knowledge and acuity possible.
Multicraft and resourcefulness
This will require you to get every piece of multicraft and resourcefulness possible. For most items the quality 2 and quality 1 materials are the same in price, so as long as you can guarantee quality 2 with quality 2 materials you have enough skill. Then you need to maximize your stats. This will work best on professions where you can put knowledge in a multicraft and resourcefulness node to get your stats up. The main professions then will be inscription, alchemy, engineering, blacksmithing and possibly enchanting.
Get your tools
You need to spent acuity to get a max quality rare tool with multicraft for this. This is by far the biggest source of multicraft outside of your knowledge tree. Hopefully you have enough acuity, or can get it by cranking some work orders. For the other slots it depends on the profession what you want to prioritize, but uncommon is often fine, but for any pieces with multicraft you want max quality rare ASAP.
Example market: Missives
I went through my professions and for me the Algari missives are quite good. A couple of them have been reset, but even then some of the others that havent are still showing some OK profits, particularly as I do not have any rare profession gear or maxed the resourcefulness node. You would prefer to do this with a higher volume item such as potions or crafted materials, but they are also often more targeted.
