Your server will be different, unless you happen to be on my server, so check your market board. I have made lots of money from level 74 ALC onward just making and selling lots and lots and lots of Refined Natron, which sells for only a little bit of money per unit, but sells constantly because people are lazy on my server. My final bit of advice is that making money as a crafter always comes down to learning and playing the market board. While raptorskin +3 and Alument +3 are so easy to get, natron+3 shouldn't be this 100x harder. will need natron +3 to make all the felt cloth +3 tho. I do, however, agree concerning the ingredients :I Muddy Water, Mineral Water, Distilled Water, Effervescent Water. If you can avoid buying the mats, you can make more money. You can buy Natron, it's not too expensive (1k). The third thing to know is that all crafters benefit from having the other crafters and gathered leveled. The biggest money maker for ALC is Raiding potions, which don't sell for a lot per Potion, but sell extremely consistently. As a WVR, for example, you can make big-ticket items that sell for a lot, but not often, while ALC can spam items that are bought consistently and constantly, for low amounts.

The second thing to know is that ALC makes consistent, but low money. There are a few exceptions to this depending on your server, but as a general rule, pre-80 ALC isn't a money maker. The first thing to know is that before level 80, ALC doesn't make money, unlike other crafters who can make useful things all along the way. I leveled ALC first, and to this day, it is still my favorite crafter, even if crafting is all the same now, so I help a bit with this.
