When 2.4 comes out it will have some impact on gold-making opportunities.

First, there are changes to Enchanting that will allow Void Crystals to be converted to 2 Large Prismatic Shards. I’m not sure yet how that will impact the market, but I’m willing to bet that the LPS price will drop dramatically, depending on your server. I know, for example, on raiding servers that the number of Void Crystals sitting in the guild banks is pretty high, with nothing to do with them. So LPSs won’t be quite as rare.

Other changes include raising the cap of Daily Quests from 10 to 25 per day. And there will be new daily quests. There will be a new Daily Fishing Quest, as well as some new dailies on Sunwell Isle. As I learn of which are the most efficient, fastest, easiest, etc., you can be sure I’ll post the info here.

Edit (Mar 10) — Latest patch notes denote that Jewelcrafters will be able to combine green gems into a random blue gem. The exact wording is:

Jewelcrafting

• • A new jewelcrafting recipe has been added to transform many green quality gems into a single random blue quality gem. This recipe is available from grandmaster jewelcrafting trainers.

So…hang onto your green gems for now. They sell for next to nothing these days, and I’m betting the price will go up slightly since they will finally become worth something.

Edit: You may want to start collecting ‘Wind Scales’.  Check out Wowhead to see who drops them.  Used in many of the recipes post-2.4.
