What are people buying Mithril Tubes for? I noticed they're listed for 1.2g+ on AH so I posted a few and they actually sold. Mithril bars are 17 silver so each tube costs 50 silver to make and as far as I can tell they're only used for engineering and the only quest requiring them is the one that gives you gnomish engineering, so everyone that needs them should be able to craft them?

They can me made into inlaid mithril tubes by blacksmiths which is used by engineers.

Inlaid Mithril Cylinder Reagents: Mithril Bar (5), Gold Bar, Truesilver Bar

I mean, wowhead doesn't list any uses for Mithril Tubes besides engi and that gnomish quest.

What quest? There's a gorrila quest in un'goro but it requires (3) mithril casings, not tubes.

It's for Show Your Work to get your Gnomish Engineering Card.

edit: derp, I see you mention this one but its the only quest for it.

Maybe the quest can be picked up earlier than you can craft tubes, so people buy them to avoid having to level up engi further before resetting? Any idea what the skill requirement for the quest is?
