New Materials
Two new materials have been added for professions: 潮浪之核 and 邦桑迪之息. Similar to 浣海之核 and 血红细胞, they are used to craft new Epic quality profession gear coming with Patch 8.1. The older reagents, such as 血红细胞, can be obtained through new transmutes from all professions.

潮浪之核: Obtained from bosses when running Heroic and Mythic level dungeons in BfA and used for crafting new epic 385 item level profession gear.
邦桑迪之息: Obtained from bosses in the new raid Battle for Dazar'alor and used for crafting new epic 400 and 415 item level profession gear.

Special Note: The 达萨罗之战 raid will not be immediately available with the release of Patch 8.1, so 邦桑迪之息 will not be obtainable right away. The raid will release in January 2019.

Notable Recipes

There is a new set of crafted gear at ilvl 385, 400, and 415, including Engineering Goggles and Jewelcrafting Rings. These items are BoP and also require you to have the profession to equip them.
Most notable for Alchemy is new, higher item level Alchemist Stones and a new transmute for turning excess herbs into 锚草. The 揭示之眼药水 also increases stealth detection.
Chefs can craft 裹蜜馅饼 to slow attacker's movement speed, a new series of +Stamina food, 伯拉勒斯血肠 as primary stat food, and 鲜血大餐 as an alternate raid feast.
Enchanters can create 驱灵金, a battle pet 魔化蒂基面具, and new ways to convert reagents (萦雾碎裂, 萦雾碎裂).
Scribes can craft 合约：第七军团 and 合约：荣耀战团--good news for those who need reputation!
Engineers can craft 不稳定的时空转移器, an unreliable battle Rez, and purchase the recipe for the mechanical spider 机械狼蛛 from the Gnomeregan Battle Pet Dungeon.
Scribes also have two fun Water Elemental cosmetic glyphs for Mages - 风暴之末雕文 for light blue, and 海潮雕文 for dark blue.
Leatherworkers can increase the amount of Midnight Salmon caught via 猩红鲱鱼饵.

HikonsExpulsom Data驱灵金/u/trojanhoa started things off

I scrapped 1000 tailored 浪息亚麻护腕 and received 161 驱灵金. That equates to 1 驱灵金 for every 6.2 bracers.

I paid 10g each for the 浪息亚麻布. Including Nylon Thread, the total crafting cost for each bracer is ~102.5g. This gives an average cost per 驱灵金 of 635.5g.

/u/rakrath added some additional stats

My numbers for linen, scrapped 20k++(linen bracers, only the green ones)

you get 0.16 expulsom per bracer
you get 1.5 linen back while scraping
thats 8.5 linen divided by 0.16 == 53.125
I round it up to 55 linen per expulsom

55 linen == 1 expulsom for easy math

浪息亚麻布驱灵金/u/master_dog/u/coldfyre

At an average of 4g per linen I've spent 73,788g on linen and thread, bringing my cost per expulsom to ~375g. I've also gotten back 1755 linen and 619 thread which in theory saves me 7,391g, bringing my cost per expulsom to 337g each.

I've been using the expulsom to craft the JC rings, selling the 310 procs for 7-20k and scrapping the blues, but I'm saving my remaining and future ones for the new items with 8.1.

I haven't tried the leather bracers for Expulsom but they are also potentially as good as or better than the cloth bracers.

Have been too lazy to keep a running total of gold spent on mats but the profit has been huge off of it. I’m probably close to 20k scraps total but only started recording late.

If anyone else is curious as to what I use that much Expulsom for, its dark moon cards.

Since I started recording the Expulsom, I've milled about 156k herbs, yielding me 20764 淡绿颜料. So about 2.66 ink per mass mill.

I am curious about how people feel in that last second before they open their mailbox?

Let’s say you haven’t touched wow for 24hours:

Do you log straight to bank toon or start with dailies or your main?

Do you cancel scan first and then go for the mail?

You are about to click that mail, what do you feel? Apprehension? Excitement? Fear? Lust? Apathy? A mix?

Do you have a routine or any “must do” things in your routine? Functional or Quirky? (Have to cancel scan, have to do AH searches first, have to hit all healing/defensive cooldowns and mount at least 3 different variations of the same mount while spinning and jumping?)

I feel maybe like when a you are watching a fight or horse race you have money on. It’s fake money so it doesn’t matter if you lose but it still stings like a loss. What if I click and it’s 800 Transmog to delist just to find out their was no sales. Could be a 1,000,000 Gold. It is literally this moment each day which is the peak of excitement in my game play.

/u/wunderbier456 shares a little about their own routine and expectations at the mailbox

i usually expect nothing at my mail and i dont care much, i just press open and alt tab to browse the internet at least every more or less two week i take a glance at my earnings with the /tsm window

i have a routine, but its not very strict, and sometimes its not always a daily thing:

log onto my main banker, get mail, post scan, shopping scan for cheap mats, send mats to crafters;
log onto my crafted-stuff banker, post scan, get mail or vice versa;
and every 48h log onto my xmog banker, get mail, post scan, do a "its missing at the ah" funcion with warehousing
and every 48h log onto my pet bankers at various servers, get mail, repost, sometimes shopping scan for cheap pets

/u/ElCabrito shares the pain

Every time I go to open my mail, I recite a litany of curses to the programmers of the WoW mail system, may they roast slowly over a low-temperature fire.

The fact that it is 2018 and we still can only get 50 mails and then have to wait a minute for 50 more is simply ludicrous. I'm sure there was once a reason for this, but given modern technology and whatnot, they could fix this. I seriously doubt someone pulling several hundred mails to fill their bags all at once is going to bring down a region.

Sorry, rant over.

动燃火焰浪息亚麻布Do you like to save up sales and collect all of your gold at once? Have you ever lost sales or items in the mailbox after letting them expire to the nether? What's the most amount of gold you've pulled from a mailbox at one time?Further Reading/r/woweconomy subredditDiscord serverstreaming live on Twitch@GumdropsEU
