Cobra Scales Sell

Sometimes, I think when Blizzard adds a new item to World of Warcraft, I don't think they check to see what's already available. Case in point, these leatherworking patterns:

• Nethercobra Leg Armor
• Cobrahide Leg Armor

Nethercobra Leg Armor requires some pretty hefty resources, not to mention being EXALTED with Honor Hold or Thrallmar. Who's exalted with Honor Hold or Thrallmar? Hardly anyone, that's right. But wait, do you even NEED to make Nethercobra Leg Armor?

Cobrahide Leg Armor has only 2 points less crit rating, and 10 less attack power. So, it's a fraction of a percent of crit lost, and maybe 2 points of damage lost. You only have to be HONORED with Honor Hold or Thrallmar to get the pattern, and the materials are much, much less expensive to the leatherworker.(doesn't need primal nethers, and only half as many primal airs!).

Whichever one you make, it sells well. Twinks love it, and well-geared players love it because it ads some more "oomph" to their already uber items. You can make it yourself, or just farm and sell the most difficult to come by component in the recipe, Cobra Scales.

Yes, everyone, that IS a 1.7% drop rate. What does that mean? They're darn hard to come by! And they're DARN expensive to buy (so they're DARN profitable to sell! 20-30 gold PER SCALE). Head over to Shadowmoon Valley's Coilskar Cistern and kill Coilskar Cobras. If you only see 3 or 4, go into the cave to find more. If you get lucky on the drops, you stand to make maybe 80 to 100 gold per hour, here.
