It does require a little work to get the recipe and a lot of gold to craft, but is definitely worth the investment. Sales have increased with the WoW Token was introduced last year mine have doubled.

The Mantid method using Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator to spawn Mantid digsites is the most efficient way of "spamming" your digsites! With regards to the craftable materials it is beneficial to create all of the items yourself. Obtaining a "proc" through your transmutation mastery will reduce the overall "cost" of crafting the mount therefore increasing your profits.

These can be easily fished from pools so no skill required in Deepholm in Needlerock Chasm. It is entirely up to yourselves if you farm any or all of these materials - personally I farm some of them and I use the auction house for others. Again how you obtain these materials may depend on how much time you have, whether you have mining and herbalism to acquire the ore and herbs, and the prices on your auction house for those materials.

If you do wish to farm the materials yourself, this video from Zabian will give you some of the best locations! But please bear in mind that you will need to research your own server before making such a commitment.

Especially if you are using a substantial proportion of your gold in order to purchase the 29k vendor materials required! I hope this guide has been useful and I hope that this encourages some of you who have thought about farming the recipe or have the recipe and stopped crafting it to get started and have a go!

WoW Archaeology Guide - Archaeology Leveling

Another excellent guide Pete! I only just got my Vial of the Sands recipe last week, thankfully it only took two jars.

Archeology can you make money out of it ?

This was forced on me due to transfering realms, and needed the bag space. I just power leveled 2 Alchemists, one with Transmute master the other with Eilixir master to try and squeeze a little more profit. Vials go for approximately 45k and can craft one for about 39k, using base mats from AH so not bad profit. Obviously the profit is alot more if I go out and farm it. Ive seen your sales in your streams and absolutely gobsmacked from your stats, it even gave me the incentive to get my own recipe.

Hell, I had little to no interest in Archeoelogy, but this since changed with the farming method for WoD well until there was the spawn bug, which thankfully got hotfixed. Another great article mate, look forward to more in the future, keep it up!

As ever, will share on Twitter and through my blog. Posted March 22, The Vial of the Sands is my main source of income. On some servers the profit from each craft can be anywhere from 5kk gold, depending on your competition. Introduced in Cataclysm, The Sandstone Drake was the first craftable two person flying mount.

The mount is crafted by alchemists and requires alchemy skill in order to learn the recipe. Due to the high skill in archaeology and the difficulty in acquiring the recipe the number of crafters on each realm is relatively low when compared with other craftable profession mounts. Acquiring the recipe itself can be very time consuming see below , and in order to craft a mount you will need to invest a fairly substantial amount of gold before you can create it.

The vendor items required total 29,g and then some other materials on top of that. In theory you should be looking for prices above the 40,g mark to obtain a profit. Prices have changed considerably since Cataclysm so especially for players who have not crafted the mount in some time don't make any assumptions.

I have seen them sell on some servers for as high as g. Not every server will have favourable prices so you must ensure you check the full mat listing below and ensure it is profitable on your server. Remember to take into account the "opportunity cost". If the combined price of the mount is similar or less than the total you can sell the individual materials for, then it will not be worth the effort to farm for the recipe.

If the prices on your server are in your favour then here is how you get the recipe. The Canopic Jars themselves are a random common Uldum archaeology solve. Essentially it is a rare drop from a random chance solve. This can be pretty frustrating depending how long it takes to get it.

Ensure you pray to the WoW RNG gods for this one! To speed up your ability to complete Tol'vir solves without flying all over Kalimdor - it is recommended to solve digsites in either Mists of Pandaria or Warlords of Draenor zones.

Each Deepstone Oil requires:. I am very lucky to be on a server where there is not a lot of competition and the price yields such a large profit per craft.

I have video guides for both obtaining mats and obtaining the recipe. Everything here is correct and well researched. Well done, awesome guide. Posted March 25, Posted April 1, I've finally been selling some. I notice that weekends are a very good time to stock up and sell these. I average at selling one at 45k during the week, but at the weekend, when demand is a little higher, I can demand prices as high as 55k. So far so good! Posted September 10, Most of the materials have stayed the same - it's just the number of crafters has dropped as people are playing new content I assume.

Yesterday was the first day I've listed one since Legion began as well so it's a good idea to check up on any old crafts you can create. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

Just wanted to show they are still selling nicely in Legion! Has the new expansion hit the costs of the materials much?
