No More Easy Money with Enchanting Flips in WoW: Forever - Sell Cost Nerfed
With the level increase to 30 in today's beta build for WoW: Forever, players will be able to learn higher ranks of their professions. One profession in particular, though, got some adjustments to its crafted weapons: Enchanting.
Now, instead of having sell prices in silver, Enchanting-crafted wands are being nerfed to a 1 copper sell price regardless of level.

Now, players will unfortunately only be able to use the wands as leveling fodder and actual gear, instead of flipping these wands for profit. Without accounting for the cost of materials gained through disenchanting, the vendor costs — and the potential profit and loss — show that this was previously a decent way to make some extra money if you were disenchanting greens you looted naturally.
| Wand | Average Material Cost (Non-Disenchant) | Former Profit/Loss |
|---|---|---|
| Lesser Magic Wand | 40 copper + 1 Lesser Magic Essence | 468 copper |
| Greater Magic Wand | 40 copper + 2 Lesser Magic Essence | 1495 copper |
| Lesser Mystic Wand | 45 copper + 1 Lesser Mystic Essence | -919 copper |
| Greater Mystic Wand | 45 copper + 1 Lesser Mystic Essence and 1 Vision Dust | 763 copper |
