Turbo Charge your Twink Jeans

I've been spending quite a while in vanilla wow, but now I'm going to be taking a look at outland professions in this particular entry. Tailors and leatherworkers should have an inkling about what this will entail, but for the rest, this will be a gold making post on leg armor kits and spellthreads.

Namely: Nethercobra Leg Armor, Nethercleft Leg Armor, Golden Spellthread, and Runic Spellthread
and then their blue (rare) equivalents

Why are these leg enchants still useful, you may wonder. Well, unlike the WotLK leg enchants, the burning crusade enchants can be used by a lvl 60 on a pair of BoE twink pants, and then mailed to the twink. This works pretty much for all brackets, making it a must have for any serious twinks.

With most lvl 70s and higher running around in northrend, the people who have achieved exalted with the required Burning Crusade factions are few and far between, so there are less kits and threads on the auction house these days. You can take advantage of this to make and list these enchants for between 200-250 gold, and make a tidy profit. (Depending on server demand and supply naturally) The mats themselves are pretty easy to get, perhaps between 80-120 raw costs when purchased from AH and thus about 100 gold profit, or you could go back to Outlands and farm them yourself, which should be rather easy if you have a strong lvl 80 leatherworker or tailorer.

Case Studies:
Nethercleft Leg Armor
16x Clefthoof leather = 16 x 5g = 80g
1 x Primal Nether = 1 x 2g = 2g
8 x Primal Earth = 8 x 2.5g = 20g
4 x Heavy Knothide Leather = 4 x 5g = 20g
Total = 122 g

Sold for 265g, approximately 250 g after AH cut, and thus 128 gold in profits!

Tailors have an easier time, in making
Runic Spellthread
1 x Rune thread (from tailor supplies vendor)
10 x Primal Mana (or life for golden) = 7 x 10 = 70g
1 x Primal Nether = 1 x 2g = 2g
Total = 75 g
Sells for 180-230 gold, which would give you a profit of around 100 gold too.


Sell them one by one, or two by two, and you should make a steady 100-200g extra per leg kit each day!
