Inscription (no spec; proposals?) M: “glyph, gear, frills” each spec has chance to proc additional X item during crafting, with possibly unique gear for “gear” spec
Enchanting (no spec; proposals?) M: “shard, dust” or “recipe” where you have increased chances to proc each type of DE mat; or have reduced mats for “recipe” spec
Jewelcrafting (no spec; proposals?) M: not quite sure; possibly “gem” and “item” specs?
Engineering (Goblin, Gnomish)
Alchemy (Flask, Potion, Xmute) Why are Engi and Alch the only profs with specs remaining? Mining, Herbalism, Skinning -- M: “scavenger, finder” one spec procs more ore/leather/herb; the other procs more ‘rare’ drops (hides, “lotus”, gems)

Pro Tip: Buy Christmas Pets Now!

So it's been a while since I've posted a new blog post directly related to gold making, rather than just AHJ. I'll be honest, I dropped the ball on the most recent patch. I didn't stockpile enough, or have enough time to really make a big impression on my server. However, I still faired pretty well.

With that in mind I am already thinking way ahead to MoP. The most important thing going into MoP in my opinion will be hedging your gold with assets to fight off inflation. One of those assets are pets. Christmas offers a unique time to buy up a large amount of pets to bank on. Helper boxes, bells, snowmen kits all offer a great way to hedge your gold.

Start buying these now. Nap the cheap ones off the AH and spam trade. Don't miss out on an easy opportunity to double or triple your money in a few months.

Hope it helps!
