Patches are usually great for making money too. Find something new on patches that is craftable, buy/gather all the mats you can before the patch hits. When it does you can stick it to em and charge a lot more just because of the demand.
For instance, when I saw flask of pure death coming I started gathering and buying nightmare vine. At the time I was buying it, it was going for 30g a stack. The day the patch hit I ended up selling about 8 stacks for 80g a stack (yes 80g a stack!). Then people started undercutting me little by little, i was still selling quite a few stacks but price slowly went from 80-70-60.... now its back down to abou the original price of 30g.
Next patch is the new alchemist only potion, which uses 2 ragveil! I have purchased stacks of ragveil for 5g a stack, I can't wait to see how much I can milk that for!
One of the patches I'm kicking myself for not capitalizing on was the primal shadow patch. They nerfed the droprate on them then wham! added more craftables for them. Those things used to sell for like 1g a primal, with hundreds upon hundreds in the AH at a time. Man, if I had bought all those out I could be seriously rich today selling them for their usual 15-20g each.
