check out the previous articles right here on wowhead.comGumdrops/r/woweconomy subredditDiscord serverTradeSkillMasterScrapper was discovered and posted about here on Wowhead

Vanion.eu noticed that the Scrapper was added to the crafting area in Zuldazar. Clicking on the Scrapper gives you the Verschrottungsabgleich buff - "Attuned to the scrapper, allowing you to scrap without confirmation. Moving too far away will cancel this effect." Using the scrapper turns an item to raw materials.

Dastano from Discord was able to test this on alpha with the Magnetischer Diskombobulator engineering axe. He got between 1x and 5x Moneliterz per scrap, and the item cost 5 Moneliterz to craft. On average, he got back 50% of the materials put into it.

It's not clear if the items that are usable to test the Scrapper required Expulsom to create, but if you can Scrap any crafted item and any player can scrap any crafted item you can scale up the current silk/leather shuffle and supply any of your characters with Expulsom for crafting purposes.

This will take professions in a significantly different direction compared to early Legion since you won't have to pair an Expulsom hungry profession with an Expulsom generating profession like Skinning/Enchanting with Jewelcrafting etc, and you won't be gated on how many bloods you can acquire.

I don't have any Alpha access myself yet to test this further but I'm personally excited to see what kind of scale people will be able to take crafting in BfA if what I'm thinking makes it to Live, it's going to be somewhere between Obliterum on steroids and Primal Spirit trading in Draenor.

In Battle for Azeroth, any crafts you’ve learned in the past will still be there and not need to be re-learned, with the exception of First Aid. Tailoring and Alchemy crafts, bandages, and anti-venoms that used to be in First Aid will have to be re-learned. https://t.co/rd3ugV8Rqo

Do you think the Scrapper is going to have an impact on professions in BfA? Have you caught up with the First Aid Achievements before they're going to be removed?/u/MochaBoys put together another excellent post this week on the /r/woweconomy subreddit

I got this message in my inbox and thought other folks might be interested in the answer:

But let me start with a few caveats:

one of the well heeled goblins on this server who helped me get my start shared with me that he had over 17 million liquid. I had zero reason to doubt him just basing that on my many very thoughtful interactions with him, and he's been in the game since Vanilla whereas I quit during Vanilla and only recently returned doing legion.
the "trick" to making gold that applies not just to low pop servers but any server, at least as far as I can glean, is efficiently scaling an alt army to leverage cool down production lines for any number of available markets (sky golems, hex weave bags, Order Hall missions that kind of thing). No big surprise there, but when you add that to a diversified sales portfolio - that's where the real magic happens :D
This wasn't something that happened overnight, and this wasn't something that was possible without an obscene amount of set up work, but once that work was done, he got to sit back and have the game pay him to play while investing a fraction of his game time to maintain those cool down production lines. His in particular were alchemy transmutes and hexweave bags across an army of 12 alts.
My goals were "modest", I wanted enough gold to buy anything I needed without having to think about it and I didn't want to spend any more time than was necessary maintaining a gold production routine. So while it's possible to maintain a 12 alt army production line, I had zero interest in doing that and yet am able to do just fine with my 6.
I'm on the Runetotem-Uther xrealm (~250k pop), and you can see our market listings HERE, and as of a few minutes ago - I'm the 4th place seller on the server (Rinda), so roughly 7 million in listings and 2 million liquid at this time. This server's older than dirt - I started on this server in vanilla, and I'm still on this server today.

The Questions

I was wondering, what is the trick to aproaching such an economy as somebody new to the server?

Crafting seems completley unprofitable on the server

and the people who do craft buy in massive bulks for high discounts to make it viable.

I would mimic that, but I simply do not have the bank yet.

What would you recommend for a start on such a server.

There are plenty of guides on how to do so on high economy servers such as the one copper to one million gold challenge and such. But there is almost no material on how to adjust to low pop servers correctly.

Be patient. This definitely doesn't happen overnight. There's a myth amongst players that do not participate in gold-making that those that do participate have thing one thing that is incredibly profitable, and as soon as that method was discovered they were suddenly rich.

Be ready to adapt. On a similar note, since there is no such thing as one "get-rich-quick" method, you need to be prepared to adapt to changing markets. It's fine to start with one thing, but don't go all-in and risk all of your gold.

Be realistic. If you're on a low population server, setting realistic and manageable exceptions sets you up for greater chances of success. Don't start out saying 'I want to make 10 million gold!', that's a long process and requires smaller achievable goals before you get there.

Don't assume. This is especially true for new gold-makers, Mochaboys touched on this regarding the 'crafting professions are not profitable'. That is simply never the case. Don't dismiss something because it's not relevant to you personally.

Have you made gold on a lower population server? What were your go-to strategies? Are you still on a lower population server or did you move to bigger server?Have you ever had to decide on learning or selling a recipe? What is the most expensive recipe you've ever purchased?
