How to make gold at level 1 to 10

• Vendors sell it for 5s 51c and buy it back for 1s 10c. That is the ceiling for an auction price while vendors stock it.
• Crafted by Blacksmithing at skill 40; the recipe comes from a trainer. Reagents below.
• It binds when equipped: tradeable until someone wears it, so each one sells once.
• Disenchants into Strange Dust, Lesser Magic Essence, worth about 3s 45c on PvP Horde today. Odds below.

• Copper Shortsword · Blacksmithing 40 · trainer

  • 1× Weak Flux

• Strange Dust80% of the time · 1 to 22s 49c
• Lesser Magic Essence20% of the time · 1 to 21s 54c

Expected value 3s 45c per disenchant at PvP Horde medians. More than the 1s 10c a vendor pays for it.
