I rarely use my Xmute... I know, it's lazy. So do you guys just buy the cheapest primal and Xmute to the most expensive on a daily basis? I think the most I can make is 4g a day... well i guess thats 4g i didnt have before.
Yes. Earth -> Water is the most profitable transmute combo I have discovered. However, I am looking into a new means. Tests so far have proven to be successful but the results are slower. Your server's market can very easily destroy my idea, but I don't think any of the readers here are on my server and I like you guys a lot so what the hell.
Here is what I am trying. It requires you to have access to a JC that can cut Bracing Earthstorm Diamonds. On my server, these diamonds sell for about 90-110g a pop. The mats for transmuting an earthstorm diamond are Primal Earthx2, Primal Waterx2, and 9 green quality gems. The total cost in mats assuming I transmute 2 earths into 2 waters comes out to be around 26g for me. I then use my JC to cut a Bracing Earthstorm diamond. Selling that diamond for the minimum of 90g nets me 66g profit.
However, it is important to consider what I could be doing instead. It takes a total of 3 transmutes to do what I described above. I could be using those transmutes for earth -> water and just selling the waters for profit. The profit I gain from transmuting Earth -> Water is about 15g per transmute so 3 days worth is 45g in profit.
66g > 45g
The final cost is AH deposits which I lose. It usually takes me 2-3 tries to sell those diamonds which means I lose 1.8g per failed try. The end result is this:
66g-3.6g = 62.4g
62.4g > 45g
This process takes longer which means I need to be patient but that patience earns me an additional 17.4g more than what a simple earth -> water would get me every 3 days assuming I sell the diamonds for the minimum price. As far as I know, I am the only person on my server which does this. There are usually only 2-3 diamonds up which I need to undercut. These are often made by people who are leveling JC which means they do not fill the AH with a continuous supply. I haven't done this for very long so I do not know if it is full proof or not which is why I still stand by the Earth -> Water being the most profitable. That plus you need a JCer to do the above strat.
