How to make gold at level 20 to 30

• Vendors sell it for 1g 5s 50c and buy it back for 21s 10c. That is the ceiling for an auction price while vendors stock it.
• Sold by Nizzik in Stonetalon Mountains (Cragpool Lake) for 1g 5s 50c, Robert Aebischer in Hillsbrad Foothills (Southshore) for 94s 95c.
• Sources are what 2 players running the addon saw in game, summed across everyone who contributes; a rate needs at least twenty loot windows.
• It binds when equipped: tradeable until someone wears it, so each one sells once.
• Disenchants into Soul Dust, Greater Astral Essence, Large Glimmering Shard, worth about 11s 4c on Normal Horde US today. Odds below.
