The Gold Mask

This is part I of the new Finding New Markets series. In this series I will provide reports on several uncommon ways of making gold. Unusual items or methods of making gold will be documented here as I find them.

For this first episode I'm bringing you Shadoweave Masks.

What's so special about this headpiece item? I mean, it's just a bandana...

It's a requirement for one of the riddles that lead you to the Lucid Nightmare mount - a unique mount which many players desire. It's a reward for completing a series of riddles throughout Azeroth, and hundreds of players are trying to obtain it every week!

Shadoweave Masks can be crafted with Tailoring and you can learn this craft from a recipe that drops in northern Searing Gorge from the Dark Iron Steamsmiths - [Pattern: Shadoweave Mask]. The drop rate is around 0.4% and you should be able to get it by farming the dwarves for around 30 minutes depending on your luck.

The materials needed to craft the mask are the following:
  • 2x [Bolt of Mageweave]
  • 8x [Shadow Silk]
  • 2x [Heavy Silken Thread]
You now have two options. Choose the cheapest one for you:

(1) Gather the materials yourself by farming the dwarves and spiders of Searing Gorge that drop the Mageweave Cloth and the Spider Silk (with a low drop rate)

(2) Buy the materials directly on the AH and apply a chunky markup to obtain a high profit

Depending on your server's economy you can now choose one of these options and see the gold coming in.You will be surprised by the demand that exists for this item. It's not a fast-selling piece but you will be able to keep a steady source of income from them, even if you can only sell 4-5 a week. I have seen other players obtain profits of over 7,500 gold per mask which is a nice addition to any goblin's portfolio, specially if the materials are available at the AH for low prices and the low effort it requires once you already have the pattern.

Try it out on your server and see how it goes. Is there any other unusual item that you usually craft to make such a profit? Share it with us below!
