I can currently make most high level pots (just missing some end game stuff) except Elemental transmutes and Flasks.
I've seen recipies for these on AH from 30 - 170 g depending on recipe what i'm wondering is which of these has a market value that makes it worth taking on, especially for the elemental transmutes which are very expensive on my realm (darksorrow)
all the flask recipes are wonderfully useful and extremly expensive to make, so what kind of %age profits can u make versus selling the ingredients directly.
Your opinions are greatly apreciated. please state if u are an alch and/or herbal
Thanks

I'm Herb/Alc 300/300. For me it isn't about what I can profit from. It's all about, "Can I collect every single recipe possible?"
As far as money making, you just have to watch the market. The best way I've found to do it is see what potions you can make, then see what they go for on average for a full stack (make sure it's a full stack, not partial). Then figure out which of the ingredients it takes to make that potion, and what other recipes require those ingredients. Basically you compare the matrix, see what a full stack of each potion & ingredient sells for, then sell the one that makes the most.
You might also consider farming time for ingredients. Selling a 'lesser stack' might be better if it's easier to farm.

They are that way on all servers, most of them are just money in the bank waiting for your cooldown, though, some transmutes are better than others, for example anything to undeath is silly, undeath is the most common cheapest in the game, why change a high value item to it? Well no reason so dont buy those, do the math and see what is a goodin on your server, i make bank with changing thigs to air(this is changeing with the up in the droprate of EoA)

Dont plan on sellign flasks for cash, sure it happens sometimes, but you are engaged in wishfull thinking if think that you can buy mats make a flask and sell for a proffit, Regulary. In 5 months, i have sold 3 flasks of supreeme power, and truned a heafy 1 gold profit over selling the herbs outright, as always, the money is in the mats.
My guild eats up flasks and freinds love me for making them, but actualy making money, sell herbs and pvp focused potions.
guilds that use flask potions probably have an alchemist making them. i also agree with capitolg that it may not be your money maker. you will hardly find a single individual picking up these potions for his own personal use.
the arcanite transmute seems to be the most requested transmute. on my server, you can sell it for 4g. someone provides the mats, you do the xmute, you get 4g for pressing a button every 2 days.
or you can buy the mats yourself and if your server is a little bit funny on prices, you can make a profit selling the the arcanite bar.
there are potions that are required for other recipes, or quests. find out what those are and you can make some money on that.
one that people are always buying is health and mana potions. at the right level potion, you always will seem to have a market for it. the supply on the AH may cause the price to go up or down but you either can sell for any money currently or wait for a certain price range.
just keep in mind if sometimes, was it better just to sell the herb stack(s) instead of turning them into potions?
Thanks for the advice. Arc Trans costs 5g on our server and is a regular money maker. also the diff between arc crystals and arc bars is about 5-7g. so i keep a few mats to minimise the downtime for the stone.
I'm looking for trans undeath to air/water (whichever is the more expensive) as i understand that has a 24hr cooldown and the profit margin is about 10-15g+. especially as i have about 7 essence of undeath lying in my bank waiting for me to get the recipe.
I might pickup the flask recipe for guild use as we're now doing regular runs to ZG and occasional runs to MC.
In terms of normal pots i sell via announces mainly and brew to order. so i don't use mats in pots that won't sell.

i found the same problem, i week i sold over 50 arcane elixer and the next week i shifted 5 ... took me 2 weeks to clear my stock, so normally i dont put more than 1-2 stacks on ah and replace when they sell.
