    I can tell you that Nectar sells for a decent amount to low levels (I would sell it at 800c each sometimes). Some catshops will buy Fleece-Flower root for 1.5k or more. And once you're 89, visit Heaven/Hell and snag some Devilwood - some shops will buy it for 2k each, or you could sell it for higher. When I go hunting for mats in Heaven/Hell, it's as much for the Devilwood profit as it is for the mats themselves. :P

    As for #1... that's subjective. Figure out what the market prices are, then buy lower if you can find them. I've never had a lot of success with "buy low sell high" though. :P

    This... this varies. Massively. Not just by server, but by time of day.

    Sorry. I can tell you what sold really well a while ago (wines, on the BH platform) - but I sold a load of them and the price went through the floor (to the point that I couldn't afford to get the items to sell any more)

    Your best bet is to check the auction house and catshops in arch, and see what prices things are at, and figure out where you can get things cheap enough to sell at those prices.

    As a very simple example, though - you can make a small but steady profit by buying shards from the merchant, combining them at the jewelcrafter and selling them at the CS lady. We're talking "Buy for 14680 and sell for 14880, 200 profit a stone" kind of profit - but it's steady business.

    You gotta figure it out on your own, just try a few things until you find waht works.

    Herbs, mats have become pretty much obsolete since no ones really crafts their own gear anymore, only time I really see them used is to craft mold gears. Wines can be made with tokens for cheaper than mats.

    The highest ones you can farm
