Buy my fish attractor, Dammit!Follow

Fish attractors usually sell well, just keep listing them, they should sell. Its something a low level engineer can make that even 70s will buy, they are the best lures in the game.

How much are you charging for them? I remember selling stacks of 20 for 10g, but I split them into 5 stacks for 2.5g each. They sold like hotcakes. This is on my engineer hunter who's only level 22 and basically retired. So I obviously don't rely on him to make me gold, but whenever I played him and had the mats -- I'd make those things, and they sold well all the time.

Also scopes sell well. And bullets.

But if you got into engineering for gold, you probably picked the wrong profession. Thats not to say you CAN'T make gold from it, but its harder then other professions. I think ammo, scopes and fish attractors will be your bread and butter. If you're serious about sticking with it, keep an eye out for good plans, like better scopes and stuff. I remember reading an engineer who basically bought his epic flyer by selling scopes as he leveled, I checked his armory and he wasn't lying either (as far as I could tell). 375 mining, 375 engineering, 300 riding skill and the nice engineering helm.

Split the lures into smaller stacks, as suggested. Mentally it’s easier to fork out 2.5g than 10g, even if the unit cost is the same. Using up 5 is pretty easy but someone may feel like 20 is too much.

You can also make bronze tubes to sell, since you’re at the bronze levels and you’re Alliance.

erm, 5's into 20 go 4, therefore divide 10g by 4 = 2g50.. back to school for you!

It's a combination of your misunderstanding and your poor math skills. Keep trying though. As far as the OP goes, great question and as a new engineer myself I was interested in the answers but, please stop typing like you're Hagrid, it's both lame and annoying. Good questions/answers need no affectation, just keep it simple.

I Damn rish from this thread (pretty odd tho) Thanks

Because the vendors will only sell you one or two at a time, and most serious fishermen spend longer than ten or twenty minutes at a time fishing. If you're after high-level fish, which can only be caught when using an attractor, the cost of buying lures on the auction house is pretty negligible.

Aquadynamics last for 10 minutes now, and while my fishing is ~350 I still need a couple of them if the 75s I normally use aren't cutting it, I'll move up to them.
I did find a couple cheap stacks of aquadynamics and usually keep a partial stack on me for whenever I see a pool and in no hurry to do something.

Honestly, I would like to see a tackle box that can store your pole, some lures and perhaps your gear; that way your fishing gear takes up one inventory slot rather than 3-4...
