So, this post is going to be something a little different than my normal long-winded, yet insightful posts about wow and its riches. This could make you rich, of course, but in reality, its all about being the coolest guy standing around in Org. Nobody is cool in Stormwind.
Anyway, this is all about the Vial of Sands. If you don't know what this is, I'll explain it so your pecan sized cranium can comprehend. This makes you turn into a Sandstone Drake AND you can carry someone on your back. Yea, its that cool. Also, that expensive, selling for well over 50k apiece. This is the Ferrari Mount of the World of Warcraft. Everyone wants one, few have one. But you can include yourself in that little number.
First Things First, this isn't easy. But it might be worth it to you.
Anyway, lets get going. First your going to need Archaeology as a secondary profession if you even want to begin hoping to find the recipe. From there, you will need a max level Alchemist to create your item because while the mount is no longer BoP, the recipe for the mount IS. So, I would recommend if you have no characters with Alchemy, and are planning to avidly seek this out and were planning to start a new char anyway...well do so and level them all together with your character.
Your other alternative is to dump one of your current professions, and powerlevel alchemy.
You'll have to level your archaeology and in doing so, digging around and such, you'll keep finding more stuff. Now there is no "level" that you need to reach to find this, some get it in the 200s some are maxed at 525 and still looking, better check your karma before you get started.
Anyway, the beauty of the item itself, is that it only costs about 29k in mats to make. Sure, sure seems like alot to most people, but think of it this way. Lets say, your making decent gold with your dailies etc and you want this drake. Well, other people are willing to pay, so you paid 29k, which is lessened with the level 24 guild perk or the goblin racial. And your selling for about 55k. That makes your money back twice over. From there, you can do it again and again....see what I'm getting at? Eventually, you'll have either gold cap or enough money to easily buy and make your own, so you can finally look cool. Well, sort of anyway.
If your wondering how you could possibly make enough gold for the initial 29k investment for mats, well, check back, our guide series is coming to a close and we'll be posting all kinds of cheap guides and instructions on how to make money. Heck, you'll probably end up like me, why spend the time working to get that, I'm fine with spending gold.
