Crafting scorpion harness for profit due to 100 bone is a myth.
Like someone has said before, you cannot break the 31 cap due to leather requirement. Yes, the leather requirement is a fool requirement. You cannot break the 31 tier on it.
So this means 11 tier, 10% on average.
What you also need to remember is that there is about a 10% failure rate. I probably dont have to tell you this but a failure craft almost always (almost 100%) result in claw break.
You lose on, you have to HQ one to break even at best.
Therefore, the entire SC market is not profitable. Ive seen too many noobies purely leveling bone for the SC market.
Man, if it were that easy, the market would have been raped by now.
There is at least 30+ bone 100 JP and 7 western bone 100 on Sylph. You see the same name buying Vclaw over and over again. And only 1 HQ has been put on AH in the last 3-4 months.
The guys lvl bone purely for SC harness are are really in for a shock.
