That's putting it mildly - it's cost me a fortune so far; tens of
gold, probably well over 100g.
I'm at 291 now, and have been for a couple of weeks. Nobody seems to
want to buy the enchants that will skill me up, even when I'm making a
loss.
For example, +7 agility on boots (yellow to me right now) uses 10
Dream Dust. At my AH at the moment that's about 7-8g of materials. I
can't even sell the enchant for 4g.
The only other option is to use the enchant on a 'spare' pair of
boots, and hope that each 8g wasted in this way skills me up (the last
2 yellow enchants I did failed to skill me up - grrr!).
The other problem I have is that so very few enchants are orange or
yellow to me. Runed Arcanite Rod is orange, so I must do that soon,
but the cost is ridiculous - the Arcanite Rod itself (which I now
have) cost me about 95g. I still need to buy 4 small brilliant shards
(at around 5g each), and some other essences/dust, so that is going to
set me back about 130-140g. Just for 1 skill point and the ability to
do some enchants I don't yet have...
I *really* hope I can eventually earn back the money I've invested in
this profession, because right now it's ruining my bank balance! That
epic mount has never seemed so far away.
