Making money in the age of Northrend

The Mote extractor remains the Engineer’s unique resource extraction tool, and so remains a source of revenue for the engineer in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

End-game level guns remain a source of wealth. Engineer-crafted ammunition remains the best available, and with a guild one can acquire a set of steady customers. (Auction house sales still remain viable at the top end.)

Surprisingly, pets make a come-back as a source of income due to the pet collection achievements. While there was an early market for the motorcycle mounts (among the most wealthy on each server), this market dries up quickly. The remaining people seeking them will generally have a guild member who can craft it for them (given sufficient resources) by the time they can afford it. On the other hand, with level progression available to 80, fewer engineers are gaining the Consortium reputation required for Elemental Seaforium Charges, expanding the market for those who have the recipe. Typically, though, this will be a ‘tips’ market, as the engineer seeking parts for her flying machine will be able to provide all the parts for the charges.

A slight resurgence of quest-required items can be expected as people go back through low level quests while working on their Loremaster achievement.

The Mote Extractor

Perhaps the single most useful item for engineers is the Zapthrottle Mote Extractor. With the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, several regions in Northrend have clouds containing Crystallized Air, Crystallized Water, and/or Crystallized Fire. When combined with a flying mount extracting these clouds for resources becomes practical.

Note that there are clouds of Motes in several regions of Outland as well. Market for those, though, is largely for players practicing their trade skills; end-game materials has moved on to the crystallized materials.

Guns, Scopes, and ammunition

As in times past, there is a market for end-game guns. There exists both a warrior-tank gun (the Armor Plated Combat Shotgun) and a hunter weapon (Nesingwary 4000).

There is an indifferent market for high end ammunition. The majority of hunters will have some member of their guild who can craft the ammunition devices at low rates. And warriors do not typically buy ammunition in large amounts. The greatest demand, then, is from hunters preparing for raids who do not have the time to ask a guild member to create a box for them.

At the lower ends, demand is variable. As the average level on the server goes up, the cost of lower level materials increases, and the number of lower level characters for whom the ammunition would be useful declines. Between these forces, custom made ammunition for hunters remains a specialty market (for when “cost is no object”).

While there is some market for scopes, the speed of leveling means that scopes are often overlooked until quite late. And once a hunter has his ultimate weapon, he will typically only need a single scope.

Pets and mounts

With achievements for the number of companions one has collected, engineered pets are much more in demand. The Lifelike Mechanical Toad is a particularly rare recipe, and the pets created with it can bring a premium from hardcore pet collectors.

Small pets

• [Mechanical Squirrel Box]
• [Lil' Smoky]
• [Pet Bombling]
• [Lifelike Mechanical Toad]
• [Tranquil Mechanical Yeti]

At skill of 450, and with exalted reputation with the respective faction, engineers can craft a mount:

• [Mechano-hog]
• [Mekgineer's Chopper]

The mounts are race-restricted however. Engineers may charge a hefty fee to craft one of these mounts, or sell the pre-assembled item for a fixed fee.

Engineers can make flying mounts too:

• [Flying Machine Control] 150% speed increase
• [Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control] 280% speed increase

Tradeskill Items

While these items are not required for end-game content, Engineers are still the sole source of them.

Professions

• Alchemy: [Recipe: Goblin Rocket Fuel]
• Blacksmithing: [Plans: Inlaid Mithril Cylinder]
• Leatherworking: [Salt Shaker]
• Fishing: [Aquadynamic Fish Attractor]

With the fishing daily quests providing Sharpened Fish Hooks, the Aquadynamic Fish Attractor has a smaller market.

Quest Items

[Mithril Casing]

• [53] Chasing A-Me 01

[Advanced Target Dummy]

• [35] Gizmo for Warug (Magram Clan Centaur)

Services

Services are using an item to do a service in exchange for money

Lock Opening

Using Seaforium Charges you can open locked boxes. Just like a rogue, usually you do it for a fee or tip.

Mailbox or vendor

Occasionally a player may need a mailbox or vendor in an out-of-the-way place and will pay a small fee for you to use [MOLL-E] or [Jeeves]. Places where it may be required as there are no such facilities nearby: in a raid or dungeon, Darkmoon Faire at the opposite faction’s zone, items for large turn-ins of rep such as Ravenholdt which may be stored in the mailbox.

Everyman Items

These items do not require a skill to use or equip. The majority of them are in low demand, though.

Consumables

• [Flame Deflector]
• [Ice Deflector]
• [Discombobulator Ray]
• [Ez-Thro Dynamite]
• [Ez-Thro Dynamite II]

Devices

• [Ornate Spyglass]

Equipment

• [Voice Amplification Modulator]

Professional Items

These items are crafted by engineers, for engineers. In most cases, they are specialization recipes (gnome or goblin) that do not require that specialization to use. In other cases, the recipes are reputation awards, and the products can be sold to those who have not yet done the required reputation grind.

Equipment

• [Goblin Rocket Boots]
• [Gnomish Rocket Boots]

Gnome Engineering

• [Gnomish Alarm-O-Bot]

The top money making majors vary every year. These majors though most of the times are the hardest to complete, are usually the most rewarding at the end. I just looked up these statistics because I was curious about my major which is economics. Here I will compile a list of the top college majors to make money; I will then list the types of jobs you can get with that major.

1.)Any type of engineering. This includes Chemical Engineering ($55,900), Electrical Engineering ($52,899), Mechanical Engineering ($50,672), and civil engineering ($45,000). These majors are usually the hardest to complete due to massive homework and projects. They require a lot of mathematical skills which I don’t possess, and many other people don’t. It is not for everybody. The amounts of jobs you can acquire with this are pretty absurd. The employment growth for the majority of engineering jobs is moving at a pace faster than most occupations. The jobs for these majors include: Designing anything from bridges to skyscrapers, to creating medical advancements and much, much more, just google it.

2.)Computer Science ($50,046) With the endless growth potential of computers and the internet, computer science skills are very important, and because of this, people who have skills in this are paid very well. Believe me when I say, I’ve tried to program on my website and it is pretty impossible for an average joe like me. I tried to outsource some of my work but it would cost a ton. The work load is a ton for this major, but if you are a fan of computers and believe in the future growth of computers and the internet, then this major is for you. Jobs for this major include: Database manager, Systems analyst, Applications programmer, Computer programmer.

3.)Accounting ($45,723) If you like numbers, this is for you. As for me, I like numbers, but only on my pay checks. This major can be EXTREMELY boring, but it could be worth it for your post college opportunities. I always assume people are lazy, and people will remain lazy and don’t have the knowledge to do their taxes, accountants will always be in great demand. This job has after than average growth.These jobs include: Management accountants, Government accountants, Public accountants, Auditors

4.)Economics/Finance($45,200) Finally, we get to my major Economics. Let me tell you about Econ. It can be fun, I mean if you are a complete loser like me. With economics you can analyze anything from tacos with computers to clowns and dynamite. It can be very interesting. But on the other hand, with the wrong professor you can have an awfully boring time. If you have an interest in this major, I recommend reading the book “Freakonomics”. This book really opened up my mind to economics. Job growth is very strong for finance and economics. These jobs include: Economists in government, business, academic fields.

More majors you can choose: Business Administration $40,000, Marketing $37,500, and Liberal Arts at roughly $31,000

Ok folks, here’s some more food for thought. First, I think there isn’t a consensus of what we are all really discussing here. I see several trains of thought going on here, but I think we can boil it down to two questions: Are there botany jobs available? Do they pay enough to be worth doing?

The short answer to the first question is Yes. To short answer the second question is Maybe, it depends on you’re feelings about the income level compared to the amount of education required.

Going back to job availability, here’s a few statistics. The breakdown for where botanists work is something like 10% in private industries, 40% work for the government and the other 50% work in higher education.

Some private industries that hire botanists: Drug, chemical, food, lumber and paper companies as well as the oil industry. Genetic research industry jobs are primed for considerable growth.

Some government jobs that hire botanists: The USDA, Department of the Interior/Forest Service, the State Department, the EPA and NASA.

Education jobs run the entire range from high school to community college to university. University County Extension offices hire botanists. Also every botranical garden you’ve ever seen.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics state that demand for botanists is expected to be increase faster than average.

OK, on to the money: The average annual salary for botanists in private industry is about $35,000 and for those federally employed it is about $42,000. Income for teachers ranges widely from a low of about $24,000 for HS or community college instructors all the way to $90,000 for some Ivy League university professors. Most full professor positions at univerisites seem to top out somewhere around $70,000. It does take a long time to earn your way into such a position too I’m sure.

I’ve seen several recommendations that people interested in botany would be better served by becoming a lawyer, doctor or engineer. The idea is that you will get rich at these other jobs and then you can throw that money around on your own private gardening interests. I believe that this is generally a poor idea. Fine, doctors do make a lot of money. They also spend ungodly amounts of money just getting their degree. Not to mention the amount they spend on malpractice insurance after they get to work. I also believe that most people, but particularly doctors, should be in that line of work because it is their passion. I don’t want my health care handled by a man or woman whose primary interest was grabbing some cash. Being a lawyer is no picnic either. A professor of mine graduated from Harvard law school and was raking in plenty of cash. Whats wrong with that? He had ZERO free time – Spare suit at the office, didn’t know his kids, etc. He quit and never looked back and now happily teaches film school. As for engineering I can speak to that with some personal experience. First, if you don’t take naturally to math and numbers you will have your work cut out for you. If you had any difficulties with HS algebra you will probably suffer when you dig into calc/diff eq, statics/dynamics and materials classes. There are good reasons that engineering degrees are so highly rewarded and in such high demand. They are crucial jobs to modern society yet most people can’t or won’t do them. It really is that simple. Engineering is also, in my opinion, a job that should be done by those who have a passion for it, not just to rake in some dough. As for the money, the real golden opportunities come mostly to those with Master’s or PhD degrees. A bachelors isn’t even going to get you in the door in many big industry’s departments. If you are pursuing those degrees against your natural talents you may literally drive yourself crazy. Most people have no real idea how difficult engineering cirriculum is.

I hope that helped give another perspective.
