Gold Making Opportunities from Patch 3.3.3

Now that patch 3.3.3 is here, there will be some changes to the WoW economy. A lot of people were hoarding frozen orbs in the days prior to the patch because now they can be exchanged for one Eternal Fire or Frost Lotus. Because of this you will see the price of frozen orbs rise (if they haven't already on your realm), and the price of eternal fire and frost lotus drop. If the prices drop too low then it might be beneficial for you to buy them up and then resell them for more gold once the price rebounds. Also keep an eye on whether or not frozen orbs start to sell for more than Eternal Fire or Frost Lotus so that you can just sell the frozen orbs directly instead of converting them first.

This patch is nice for engineers because now Pet Bombling and Lil' Smoky are bind on equip instead of bind on pickup. This should provide a steady stream of income for engineers for a while. The price of Core of Earth, Heart of Fire and Mithril Bars will probably increase, so even if you aren't an engineer you can still make some gold by farming these materials.

"Battlegrounds will no longer award Marks of Honor.

Players with existing Marks of Honor can still turn them in to their respective faction's quest givers, including individual marks for those who may have more marks for one Battleground than another."

Because of this change, players will have a lot of honor to spend when they turn in their marks of honor. Many players will probably use their honor to buy epic uncut gems, which means we could see the price of epic cuts drop. Increased demand from more players being online after a patch may offset the decrease in gem prices. Keep a close eye on your realms auction house to see where you can profit from patch 3.3.3.
