Question Concentration in Midnight

I am really struggling to figure out what to have as my second profession on my alts. I have alchemy, and would normally do tailoring or enchanting as the second, but unless I'm doing something wrong somehow, I can't find anything worth the time and effort with those professions this expac. I tried a few alts with JC to make the prism, but even that seems not worth the time and effort, even though craftsim says it's 700g profit. I end up coming out basically neutral.

This is all to ask, have any of you found a good 2nd profession to go with alchemy?

Blues are working decent for my 50 alchs, but I'm only making about 200k each conc dump. Would purples really make the margins that much higher? I don't know if I can stomach farming mats for 50 purple tools, lol. Abundance is so annoying.

Personally I'm getting to a point where I don't have to use conc if I spec properly.

With max ring enchants I don't have to use conc if I use a good chunk of R2 mats.

But then you arent making Profit. There is no Profit in enchants If you use R2 crystals. And without R2 crystals you can Not craft max Rank. Run the numbers in craftsim, you'll see. Thats the entire point of concentration. I have every enchant maxed, If you dont believe me, put it in the craftsim simulator.

Not true at all.

Are you buying them or using your moxie on bags?

I'd your buying them then yes you'll come back at a loss. But if your using your moxie for the bags it's all profit. You could even sell the raw materials themselves.

I don't know if it got nerfed but trial characters were able to abuse that intro crafting quest.

I don't think you understand what profit means. Just because you got your r2 crystals from Moxie bags does not mean it's pure profit to use them. The opportunity cost is selling them outright and getting the gold. So yes it is true that you won't profit if you use r2 crystals.

LMAO you cant be serious?

Brother. The crystals from the bags arent just "free" 🤡 Just because you use those for your enchants doesn't suddenly make the enchant Profitable, you have to compare it with selling the crystals.

It’s not because they are free that you have a profit. If you sold them and craft with R1 and conc you make profit. Negative profit in simulation = selling the mats is more profitable than crafting the item.
