5.0, start your planning and prospecting NOW!!!

What things have value and will retain that value into 5.0...  

Mounts,  I think Poseidus is one that will go up in value as the zone clears and have less chance of getting found... people are camping it now (I imagine), but will move on to new things and it will be forgotten by many or all but a few...  those few will be 2 types of people, those that want it for themselves (we like these guys) and those that want to sell it (we dont like these guys) the first will increase the rarity, the second is competition... There may be others...

Pets, a big prospect here, potentially there could be a huge spike in demand as they change in how they are bound... to account.. but how that works is still forthcomming... take your risk with caution.. elementium geode.. best bet here IMO... as well as the enchanter ones.. those though... who knows... may likely go down... I suppose the ally one will be worth more if my memory serves since it is the one that takes GCEs to make... Its value will surround the mats to craft it...

Of course while the events are active, getting and saving pets from lunar festival, and love is in the air (mount too) will continue to be popular, and potentially the DMF pets... if timing is in your favor when the patch goes active that makes the pet binding changes complete... I am not always right, in fact frequently not, but I dont think vendor pet will be a great prospect, if the changes to the pet system work the way I suspect, I think a lot of people will try to go to all the vendors one time, and many will buy extras... and crash the market...  Over all this will only be a narrow window IMO for higher profits... It will continue to be a market, but its likely going to die... If all the companion pets you already know on your account, accross servers and such are shared to all your toons... it will be low, if it is only new aquisistion, it will be worth it for many to get them once and the prices and demand could generate profits... the pet battle system and the BOE pet thing has monster potential to be huge... IMO...

People will frequently not even wait a couple hours or a day for their friends to log on to craft their gems or chants.. thats why we make money (I mean take their gold), pets and other markets have the potential to put a lot of gold in the bank...

Farmers... herbers, miners and skinner will be able to make bank... again impatience pays here, have your farmers ready and planned for 5.0... the gold you can make is no risk, guaranteed almost... there are no numbers to play, no calculations to figure, no fluctuation in the market to throw off your cost valuations... I was worth nearly 2500/hour just herbing at the beginning of cata... if I had a miner/herber... whoa... prolly coulda been making 3500-4500/hour... that is good, for GPH standards and will be good into MoP... Druid, highly recomended... instant flight for mining and dont go out of form to herb... piss off a lot of people, OR a DK (unholy, "On A Pale Horse" I think) (BM hunters have a mounted speed buff too, I think 10% vs pally DK at 20%) with the mounted speed buff, or a pally w/ crusader... Make sure your farmer is in a guild with perks for mounted speed and bountiful bags...

Cooking and crafing things... not much info to go off of now.. what will be the new fish feast?  do you have a fishing ready toon to go make gold with?  How many cheap recipies do you have in your bags that will give you skill points still, like 5 at a time... ... I plan to figure that out... chaos orbs are cheap... and having mats stock up for a really quick skill up to 550 crafting or better... like right out the gate.. since later lots of  people will realize this, mats will skyrocket for a couple days or weeks as professions are leveled... look for the cheap mats and figure out what you can skill up on w/ low cost now compared to later, or at least quickly and imediatly when you train the new stuff...  Save mats now for that window of oportunity.. when 5.0 comes out, many people will quickly realize that crafting epix from cata for 5 points is cheaper per point than crafting the greenies from MoP.... though, who knows... YMMV... its a prospecting ideas thing...

Do you have any more thoughts on what to prospect for 5.0, cause lets face it... Cata gold making is still good, but, its not so much fun as it once was...
