Or take 220 justice points and buy the epic wrath gems from Dalaran. They still sell for 150-200g on my server (roughly the same as a maelstrom crystal) and cost less than a third of the justice points of buying and DE'ing the relic...

Why would anyone disenchant the BoE for 1-2 shards when you can sell the gear and then buy 3 times as many with the gold?

My biggest irritation with the maelstrom crystals being high on multiple servers is that the enchants that use them have not kept up.

lavawalker and landslide still hover around the 1.7k range, and with maelstrom crystals as well as heavenly shards staying high, it cuts hard into profits for those. Not to even speak of the lower ones that require 1 to 3 maelstroms and barely get over 900 for the enchant.

really good tip. Especially if the BOE JP items are not selling on a server. Also the cloak from Hyjal is able to be DE'd if someone is an enchanter and being Exalted with them. Though the rumblings are that it might get changed to non DEable with 4.3.2

Take your enchater into random HoT heroics. My enchanter is a warrior so I can click "need" on virtually any weapon or plate drop.

Then with the other drops, youll win on average 20% of the DEs.

I'm not sure if it is against the rules or not though to Need on gear that you dont really need

If you have absolutely nothing else to do with your JP, and you don't need any more gold - perhaps this is viable in a pinch.

But I think you'd make way more selling the BOE items you can purchase with JP. The gold per hour for farming crystals this way is nowhere near what you'd make employing other methods. It seems like a smarter idea to farm anything else with a higher gold per hour rate, sell that and use the proceeds to simply buy the overpriced crystals.

Another option for those who want their maelstroms at a consistent price is to buy the epic cloak from the firelands vendor just outside firelands. It costs 200g and like you said if you have bountiful bags theres a chance for 2!
