How to make gold at level 20 to 30

• Vendors sell it for 1g 19s 51c and buy it back for 23s 90c. That is the ceiling for an auction price while vendors stock it.
• Found in Large Solid Chest in Scarlet Monastery (1% of 281 looted), Large Iron Bound Chest in Scarlet Monastery (Chamber of Atonement) (2% of 192 looted).
• Sources are what 4 players running the addon saw in game, summed across everyone who contributes; a rate needs at least twenty loot windows.
• Disenchants into Soul Dust, Lesser Mystic Essence, Small Glowing Shard, worth about 16s 67c on Normal Alliance US today. Odds below.
