The Gold Rush

Yes that's right, the first method i will discuss on this site is.... The Saronite Shuffle. If you have no idea what i am talking about, then you should definitely read up. The Saronite shuffle is one of the best methods to make gold in the World of Warcraft. Now, i know those of you who actually USE/USED the Saronite shuffle, will say, "but they made it worthless by making Saronite used for titanium more often and with the enchanting/dungeon finder tool." Well, it still makes me 30-40% of the gold that i spend on it in pure profit. So i would say it works just fine.

So, now then. What is the Saronite shuffle?

The purpose of the Saronite Shuffle is to, effectively, create blue gems at no cost to the user.

What does the Saronite Shuffle Require?

A High level Jewelcrafter
A High level Enchanter

How exactly does this work you ask?

Well I'll tell you. Before i get into, when you should buy and how much should you buy for, I'll just go through the simple layout of the shuffle.


1. You buy Saronite Ore off of the Auction House, or from a farmer, or a guildmate or whatever.

2. Prospect all of the Saronite Ore that you buy. The result will be a large amount of green gems and some blue gems. Bank the blues, because those are pure profit.

3. Now, we are going to take 4 out of the 6 types of gems you get, and make something from them.

4. Count up your Bloodstones, Sun Crystals, Chalcedonys, and Huge Citrines

5. For each 5 of any of the gems you have, buy one Eternal Earth

6. Craft your Bloodstones into Bloodstone Bands

7. Craft your Sun Crystals into Sun Rock Rings

8. Craft your Chalcedonys into Crystal Chalcedony Amulets

9. Craft your Huge Citrines into Crystal Citrine Necklaces

10. After you have done that, disenchant them. The result will be a large amount of Infinite Dust, Lesser Cosmic Essences and Small Dream Shards. Sell these

11. Take your Dark Jades and Shadow Crystals and sell them *****HOWEVER*****, if these two gems are selling for less than one gold on the auction house, i recommend cutting them, then selling them. Make sure you do the quest for perfect gems.

12. After this, you should have made your gold back from buying the Saronite Ore and the Eternal Earths just from your green gems alone. So what does that mean. You have a few stacks of Blue gems you just created out of thin air. Do what you want with them.


Now then. The next question you ask is. How do you know what prices to buy and sell at? When will you make gold doing this, and when will you lose gold? Surely you don't want all of your precious World of Warcraft gold going down the drain simply because you made a mistake.

Well, there is an easy way at fixing that as well. Spreadsheets. You can find one HERE, for the most part it is pretty self explanatory, but if you need any help making it work, post a comment or send me an Email.

Something to keep in mind, when using this spreadsheet. If you find that Saronite Ore is too expensive, you can always just buy the gems from the Auction House straight out, and go from there, sometimes that can make some decent gold as well. The spreadsheet also has a function for that as well.
