Also you might be interested in the sonoman typical prices for the prizes. For tailoring reward cloth and stretched hides arrent worth much, maybe some blaze cloth and the other top tier colors but the others usually go to bandaids. Bear rugs and tapestrys go for about 30k a piece and are slightly uncommon to find, but being that they arrent destroyed many people have all they could ever want, but there are collectors! Spined runics are usually only 5k and sit on the vendor. Horned are around 100k - 300k, but likely wont sell well unless on discount.
The holy grail of tailoring deeds is the clothing bless deed (400-500k) and the barbed kit (price dropping due to scripters, can be 3.8-4.2 mil nowadays). In order to get these high demand rewards most ppl chuck the larges for the smaller rewards back there and use the others to fill and turn in for a small/large for the big prizes. Small cloth is best since cloth is easy to get, especially the reward cloth. The leathers sell on vendors sometimes for those who arrent focused on the big prize.
As far as Blacksmithy, Rule of thumb is usually any hammer below a bronze isnt worth the ingots or time. Shovels/picks arrent all that either, since tinkers can bang them out at will. Gargoyles pickaxes and prospector's tools are useful but after you have a few secures full you really dont need em and most ppl dont either. Anvils are rare and would sell well in just about any color. Blackrock gave us a ton of +30 ashes, so their price is in the half mil range now, +10s will sell ok I suppose at a low price, but there isnt much metal worth enhancing really in relation to leathers. Powerscrolls outside of 120's probably wont sell too well, since who doesnt want to max out? The 105's are near worthless like their champ spawn cousins.
There is a lot of more common BODs that give out powder of fortifying as a reward, and in an item based game that is really the big khahuna. It sells for 100kish a jar and it keeps all our weapons from fading to black. If youre BODing your brains out this could make for a brisk business. Sometimes you can even catch these on vendors for cheap.
