  I forgot the cogwheel trinket, fit that with appropriate cogwheels and 
they can sell , not often or for a lot, but sometimes. I recall there is 
a cog vendor but fitted out for tank and dps sell better.
Better, not well. I guess they probably sold well way back when for a while.

  For the alchemist, give your miner/herb some engineer gathering 
goggles ( buying them was cheaper on my server) get the pick and the 
gathering speed item off the yulong advance mob.
  The pick is boa the gathering item is BOP and chance drop so good luck.

  Then spend an hour with 2-3 nodes always on your map, transmute ghost 
iron->trillium on no cooldown until you have most transmutes.

  To make engineering even more profitable , stop trying to use it.
  Do alchemy.

  You could always rent out as a mercenary while gathering, people still 
do alts and guild are slow, a 87-ish rare loot right now is useful for 
those.  It depends on population, there are always skulls on my map.
  cash in hand can make it almost worth the time if they don't muck 
around, and pay, some do, some rat, some expect you to hold their hand 
and want to be bestest friends for life.
  annoying, but then, cash, but painful, but cash

As someone said on trade 'for the Horde'
'thats wrong    slave soldiers=The Whored' :-)
