Each expansion has brought us Darkmoon Cards that are crafted by
Inscriptionists which are then turned into Decks of Cards that become trinkets
and have a ton of gold making potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This expansion is a little different though, in that Blizzard has limited
our production of cards by using a Scroll of Wisdom for each card which has a 1
day cool down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has impacted the
gold making potential from previous expansions severely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember seeing a post on a blog where
someone had made 1 million gold from these cards within 90 days of launch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well those days may be gone but there is a
good market for potential profit if you are smart.<br />
<br />
We know that the DMF hits every 30 days so that means that a scribe could
make no more than 30 cards before the next fair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are 4 decks of cards that take 8 cards
each which means you need 32 cards to complete all 4 decks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember that these are random so this makes
for interesting scribing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
The obvious way to make gold is to mill Pandaren Herbs and craft them each
day you make a Scroll of Wisdom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But
this gives us limited profits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right now
most cards are selling for an average of 2,500 gold per card (Oxen cards sell
for about 1,500 all others are averaging 3k).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am able to find herbs for under 3g each or 60 gold per stack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes about 7-8 stacks of herbs to get
enough ink to create one card, using the ink vendor to trade inks up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That means my cost per card is about 480 gold
per card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Should you get lucky and get all 8 cards then you can create your deck which
sells for much more than the cost of each card individually.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right now, on my server, the decks are going
for 40-50k per deck of cards, but the cards are going for less than 3 k each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this is how there is even more gold to be
made.<br />
<br />
I look for cards that get below 2,500 each and then buy them to fill the
holes or just stock up for future decks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many of these I buy at only 2k so my average cost per deck is about 20k
tops, most of them I can build them for less.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But the market is selling these for over 40k which means a nice double
of my investment!<br />
<br />
That tough part of this market is the price fluctuations, timing and
supply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are willing to buy up the
low cost cards to build your decks then the supply usually does not back fill
very quickly because of the cool down to make them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A crafter cannot just buy several hundred
stacks of herbs and make dozens of cards like the used to do, so this is
causing the market to go up and down wildly.<br />
Be patient and watch for the right time to buy and sell these cards, craft
your decks and turn them in for the trinkets!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The trinkets (they can only get these after turning the decks in at the
DMF) go for even more than the decks…so investing 20k can get you back 30k
profit easy!<br />
Good luck and happy hunting!<br />

With the release of Mist of Pandaria, we were given a new way to level our cooking profession and we were given a farm to begin growing cooking materials. Turns out that this is a necessity in the game because the materials have a very very low drop rate outside of farming. These materials are needed to cook up buff food or feasts for raiding. The other thing did Blizzard did, probably to make it more interesting, is that the gave us the ability to plant seeds that grow into non cooking materials, such as; enchanting materials, leather, cloth, etc. Neat idea for those who are bored I guess. But the kick for me is that we can also plant seeds to grow Motes of Harmony! <br />
<br />
But wait a minute, if we use the plots to grow Motes of Harmony then how do we get our cooking materials? The Auction House! As many people have already discovered, there is a huge market that ha been created in the Auction House by selling cooking materials that are needed for all buff foods. This is HUGE. This market never even existed until MoP. Sure, there was and still is the market for fish and meats to use in cooking, but this is totally new.<br />
<br />
So what do I do and how do I make gold in this market?<br />
<br />
First off I do not grow any cooking materials on my farm (unless it is an 85 alt that cannot do anything else), I grow Motes of Harmony. These are of high value and I need them for crafting as well. Like many others, I turn to the AH to buy cooking materials to cook up food and feasts. Just like anything else sold in the AH, the prices are all over the board which means I can make some great gold in this market.<br />
<br />
So far, I have only dabbled in it, not truly grasping the full impact that we have at our fingertips. Now that I have, lookout! I made probably 15k gold without even trying to in this market, what happens if I really apply my same flipping concepts to it? What I like about this market is that people have limited amounts of supply, unlike fishing you cannot get some bot in the game that farms up 100 stacks of cabbage, therefore the market has a problem of limited supply versus high demand. I will take advantage of this.<br />
<br />
My plan: Buy low, sell high. I have 1 main competitor in this market and a few other small ones. I want to take keep my sales at prices that move inventory (going for volume) but are still just under the price point of my main competition. On my server, I see that the competitor has these items (Carrots, Cabbage, Melons, etc) all priced at about 25g each. I will go for 24.99 each. I will buy everything lower and relist at my price. Some people are listing these for as little as 6g each, silly people! More gold for me!<br />
<br />
I post these in 2 increments, stacks of 5 and stacks of 50. Those that are slowly leveling their cooking or just making food for rep quests will be buying stacks of 5 while others who want feasts will be stacks of 50. Let's get both markets. The volume of sales tends to be good on most servers so make this a daily regiment. I will spend about 10 minutes buying and posting. <br />
<br />
The goal for this method should net me an easy 50k in a month, check back to see if it happens!Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-52055649137844573542012-10-23T10:20:00.000-07:002012-10-23T10:20:08.801-07:00Crafting PVP Gear ProfitsNew expansion has brought us new PVP gear and more profits! So far in MoP, the demand for PVP gear has been all over the map. In the first week of MoP I was selling about 12 pieces a day easy and for huge amounts of gold. My average sale was 1500 for plate gear at a crafting cost of less than 150 gold! I love those returns, of course they did not last for long but even now I see sales for about 500g on a cost basis of only 75 gold, so still great returns.<br />
<br />
I did notice that folks are buying the gear to round out their PVE set so they can queue into LFR, so there are some decent sales right now. I am averaging about 8 sales a day in just plate gear. Cloth is my next venture as I usually do very well in cloth PVP sales but I need to get my Mage to 90 or at least get him some SoH to buy recipes. Anyways, take a look at your server and see what pieces of gear make sense to sell, look for those pieces not listed or under supplied to the market and price accordingly. Don't be afraid to mark it up high if no one else is selling it, but be prepared for competition as people find ways to spend their Spirit of Harmonies.<br />
<br />
I would list these gear pieces for a 24 hour period so that you are ensuring that you look at the market and relist at the right price. I can't tell you how many times I have found my competitors listing for 1 gold less than me, which is fine, but I want those sales. Now if they are morons and sell it way to cheap, then wait them out and see if hey keep listing. I find these types of sellers are just passing through the market, especially on weekends. You could buy them out if they are cheap enough, but make sure you look to see if they are online first so they do not simply make more and list them at their dumb prices again.<br />
<br />
PVP gems are not selling high enough as compared to the raw gems, but maybe it indifferent on your server so check it out!<br />
<br />
As always, have a great time and farm that AH for profits!Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-33606644138743685552012-10-15T09:37:00.000-07:002012-10-15T09:49:58.302-07:00Enchanting My Way to Gold<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

There are quite a few ways to make some serious gold with enchanting, today
we will look at the new materials and enchants with the arrival of Mists of
Pandaria.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of you who read my blog
know that I do not like farming; in fact the only farming I do like is when I
farm the Auction House.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Enchanting is no
different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right now we have a highly
fluctuating marketplace which is not unusual at the start of an expansion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So how do we profit?<br />
<br />
Enchanting materials are fast movers right now, with people wanting to
enchant their new gear and others wanting to level their enchanting to max
level as quickly as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That gives
us some opportunities in flipping materials such as; Spirit Dust, Mysterious
Essence and Ethereal Shards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
skipping Sha’ Crystals for now as they are not really moving in volume yet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is one wrinkle to consider in the
materials flipping; Enchanters can combine several items to upgrade, or they
can degrade an item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is giving us a
huge opportunity from time to time so that we can convert over supplied materials
into undersupplied markets.<br />
<br />
Here is a chart to examine the opportunity based on my server’s current
prices:<br />

while converting the other materials could be at a loss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may be different on your server as well
so use your numbers to figure out where there is opportunity to profit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can also be deceiving, the model says we
would lose 80 gold by converting 5 Mysterious Essences into 1 Ethereal
Shard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But what if we used 25 Spirit
Dust at 3 gold each and converted them into 5 Mysterious Essence and then
converted those 5 into 1 Ethereal Shard?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our cost basis would be 75 gold with a current market price of about 70
gold so we lose 5 gold.<br />
<br />
Why mention this?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because the market
is in flux so much that prices can go up and down fast and we want to be able
to produce enchants for profit so we have to look at the cheapest method to do
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other night I went to make some enchants
and the AH had Ethereal Shards going for 125 each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the weird part is that the Spirit Dust
and Mysterious Essence’s were going for the same rate I listed above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So using this conversion method I was able to
produce Ethereal Shards for 75g by buying up all the dust at 3g or less and
converting them into Mysterious Essence and then finally into Ethereal
Shards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I listed a few for sale and made
some enchants.<br />
<br />
Buying and flipping in this type of market is also volatile, be prepared to
sit on mats sometimes because there is so much supply hitting the market and
look for those times when supply is down.<br />
Enchants can make some serious gold as well, but there are two ways to do
it; Flipping enchants and crafting them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Crafting them is simple once you have a maxed out enchanter, look for
the enchants on the AH and determine which ones are selling for more than their
materials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Easy math and in some cases
you can generate profits as much as 500% of the base cost to make them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
But don’t forget to check out those enchants that are listed dirt
cheap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have a ton of people still leveling
their professions and some of these people will craft enchants and then list their
products cheaply on the AH to get rid of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are not worried about making a profit; they were only worried about
maxing their profession.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This gives us a
huge opportunity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of these lower
level enchants (level 550-590) may not be as popular but they can make some tidy
profits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found 35 enchants on the AH
the other night selling for1 gold to 2 gold each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They used Mysterious Essence and Spirit Dust
which means their cost to make was roughly 30-60 gold each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each person who listed them simply undercut
the last person.<br />
<br />
I bought them all and then relisted 10 of them at 50 gold each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sold 3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Big deal?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s do the math, I
spent about 50 gold buying all 35 enchants and then sold 3 of them for 150 gold
total which means I profited about 100 gold for doing nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The price dropped again and now I have tons
of these but so what?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can do this
again and even if I build up a supply of hundreds of these, I will still have
made gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can give these away to
guildies or store them for later resale when the markets normalize.<br />
<br />
Bottom line: Do not under estimate all of those really cheap enchants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of these may be cheap only for the next
few weeks while people dump their supply on the market.<br />

Those that did the Ore Shuffle in Cata will know this routine well, but if you did not do it or did not about it then you must read on...<br />
<br />
There are many ways to make tons of gold in WoW, but the Ore Shuffle is one of my favorite and has HUGE payoff potentials. As with anything I post here, research your server before diving in too deep! So what is the shuffle?<br />
<br />
On my server, Ghost Iron Ore is going for an average of 6g each or about 120g per stack. I like to buy it whenever it falls below 5g ea or 100g a stack but the shuffle works fine even at 150g per stack. The following results are based on 100 stacks of Ghost Iron Ore and are my actual numbers:<br />
<br />

Have no fear, I am posting again! There is so much to cover that I find it difficult to sit down and write a post just because I don't even know where to start. Overall, I have today that I truly love MoP over every other expansion which is far from what I thought of it when it was announced. Blizzard has done a great job at developing content and lore that is unique and interesting. So kudos!<br />
<br />
On to the gold!<br />
<br />
My first few days in game were spent leveling and learning all the new mini games with the game. I didn't even start "farming" until day 4 and I found myself making 2k gold a day...pathetic. So by day 6 of the expansion I decided to focus my efforts on gold again and after just 10 days I accrued over 100k in profits. <br />
<br />
Stay tuned for some of the ways to make gold in MoP as I will post each day. What you can expect:<br />
<br />
The Ghost Iron Shuffle is awesome, awesome, awesome. I will post about this tomorrow so stay tuned as I will share the ins and outs as well as what my actual profits were in this easy method.<br />
<br />
Enchanting is making me about 7k gold per day and is simply better than expected based on the materials prices.<br />
<br />
PVP gear is off to a huge start, selling about 10K gold per day.<br />
<br />
Flipping materials has been a bit tougher due to several factors this expansion; the Cross Realm Zoning and the fast node spawning for ores and herbs. I also see more people farming mats than ever before, possibly because it is so easy right now and the demand is high. With that said, I am seeing an easy 5k profit per day here for 5 minutes work.<br />
<br />
Cooking supplies that farm grown have been a huge gold maker. I flip these mats each day and have seen profits of about 5k. <br />
<br />
There is much more but stay tuned as we explores each of these methods in the following daysDealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-15616839906865752272012-09-18T17:09:00.001-07:002012-09-18T17:09:24.735-07:00Stockpiling for MoP Part 6<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are almost at expansion day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is now so much to do in so little time,
but we can still make some smart buys before it is too late.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today I am looking at Cooking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the new monks and Pandas will probably
start to level up cooking at some point, either because they want the food
buffs for raiding or they just want to level it because they can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Either way, I see gold in our cooking future!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Once again, I go to one of my favorite sites,
wow-professions.com and check out the mats needed to level from 1-525 and then
start buying the materials while they are cheap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is another area where I see a huge
potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find that a lot of people
will sell off their materials to a vendor because they do not want to store
them, do not want to list them in the AH and/or do not want to level cooking so
they just get rid of them cheap in the Auction House.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today’s posting is about another potential crafting choice that Pandas/Monks may make as they level up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jewelcrafting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I put this on my list because there will be toons who want JC as a profession for either the crafting bonus for their raiding or because they know that JC is a huge gold maker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may even be their 2<sup>nd</sup> or 3<sup>rd</sup> JC profession.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why you ask?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because getting all of the recipes is a slow process that takes months of dailies to unlock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So while one toon can net you a new recipe every 3-4 days, 2 toons can double this, 3 toons triple it etc.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would not go crazy on this stuff but I would strongly consider it as a profit potential.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did not include many of the items needed because they are slow movers or they are too JC dependant, meaning they really have minimal to no use for other professions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I prefer items that are needed in multiple professions since that could drive demand and keep supply on the short side.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here are my items for my shopping list to stockpile for MoP, items are based on the wow-professions guide for Jewelcrafting, which is an awesome resource.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">100 Copper Bar</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">120 Bronze Bar = 60 Copper Bar, 60 Tin Bar</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">140 Mithril Bar</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">40 Adamantite Powder (200 Adamantite Ore)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">10 Adamantite Bar</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>70 from any of the following gems: Bloodstone, Chalcedony, Dark Jade, Huge Citrine, Shadow Crystal, Sun Crystal. Make sure to buy at least 5 Bloodstone, because you will need the Bloodstones when you reach 395.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">46 Eternal Earth OR 23 Eternal Earth and 23 Eternal Shadow</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5 Titanium Bar</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>45 from any of the following gems: Carnelian, Alicite, Jasper, Zephyrite. I did not include Hessonite and Nightstone in the list, because you will use them later on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">16 Hessonite</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">30 Shadowspirit Diamonds and a lot more Uncommon Gems for the Fire Prism transmutes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I will probably invest about 60k into these items overall, a little lighter than some of my other profession stockpiling that I am doing but enough to get me in the game and make some gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As always, consider your gold stockpile and how much you are willing to risk and be smart!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mists of Pandaria is right around the corner, and if you are
like me then you want to stockpile some materials in hopes of making some big
profits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today we look at enchanting
materials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reason I am considering
this a solid investment is similar to my post yesterday in regards to
Leatherworking; Pandas!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We know that lots of people are going to roll a Panda and
then pick either a Monk or another class to level up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That also means they will need to pick
professions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some will pick enchanting,
either because they need an enchanter, they know it can be profitable or they
want the profession bonuses for raiding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So how can we profit?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Know what
they need to level and have it ready to sell when they need it!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As usual, I went to wow-professions to get my shopping
list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are a lot more items needed
than what I have listed here, but these are what I am investing in because of
the high quantities need to level the profession.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>High quantities means high demand, tie that
with a bunch of new enchanters who are trying to level their profession quickly
means we could see prices that could triple or more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, most of these items are selling
really cheap right now so you have the chance to stockpile at prices that could
net you as much as 10x your investment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The items I have listed are the quantities needed to level 1
enchanter:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">134 x
Strange Dust<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">120 x Soul

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">155 x Vision
Dust<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">230 x Dream
Dust<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">340 x Arcane
Dust<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">274 x
Infinite Dust<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">550 x
Hypnotic Dust<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">83 x Greater
Celestial Essence<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">50 Volatile
Earth<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My strategy is to buy these items at low prices and hold
them until the market is low in supply and then reap the rewards!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Invest what you are comfortable with and at
the amounts you feel you can handle and remember that this is a strategic guess
which means we may not see the returns we want or project, but if you buy at
good prices you will at least double your gold over time.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Good luck!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Today we will focus in on a potential market for us Auctioneers once MoP drops in a few weeks, leather!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean, who doesn’t like leather?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I buy it for my wife all the time, but that’s a different story!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Why leather? Theory: Once MoP drops we will see a new class, Monk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are leather armor specialists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the theory goes that a lot of these may in fact become Leatherworkers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of these will also take up Skinning, but I am betting many will not want to bother with it because they want to level their toon fast and by taking up skinning it will slow them down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Does my theory hold water?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Time will tell but I am willing to take the gamble for 2 reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, if it is correct then we will see huge markups in leather as supply runs dry, something I love to see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Second, if it does not happen I will stay make good gold from it by flipping it at the right times, it will just take longer to make my pile o’gold.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Timing is everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right now on my server, I am seeing leather for cheap prices due to all the alts running around and people dumping inventory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when supply is high and demand is low what happens?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s right!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prices drop and we gold goblins grab all of the supply we can afford!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
So my list, ok, it is not “my list” but rather a list provided to us from a leatherworking guide over at: <a href="http://www.wow-professions.com/wowguides/wow-leatherworking-guide.html"><span style="color: purple;">http://www.wow-professions.com/wowguides/wow-leatherworking-guide.html</span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Here are the items needed to quickly level Leatherworking from 1-525:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 57 Ruined Leather Scraps</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 15 Medium Hide</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 260 Light Leather</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 160 Medium Leather</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 20 Heavy Hide</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 195 Heavy Leather</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 410 Thick Leather</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 410 Rugged Leather</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 100 Knothide Leather Scraps</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 307 Knothide Leather</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 28 Fel Scales</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 320 Borean Leather</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 50 Savage Leather Scraps</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 375 Savage Leather</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 168 Heavy Savage Leather (840 Savage Leather)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 68 Volatile Fire</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 8 Volatile Air</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 28 Volatile Water</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
- 32 Volatile Earth</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
All of this is just for 1 person wanting to level Leatherworking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the items of note are; Medium Leather, Thick Leather, Rugged Leather, Knothide Leather, Borean Leather and Savage Leather.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prices on these could easily triple during the first few months of the expansion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
My strategy is simple; I am stockpiling the equivalent of enough leather to level 20 toons from 1-525.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So take all these item counts and multiply it by 20.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I figure that it is going to cost me about 6k gold per toon to level from 1-525 in just leather goods bought at the current cheap prices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that is about 120k gold investment, or roughly 7% of my gold stock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I am right about prices and timing then this could potentially bring me back 500k in leather alone!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I am wrong then I will still make 120k profit but it will probably take me 6 months instead of 2, either way I win!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
What is your plan?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So far we have covered what Cross Realm Zones is and how it works as well as the impact to lower level zones on different servers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s move on to part 3 of the Cross Realm Zones Impact on your gold.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">High Population Zones</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I first learned about the technology that Blizzard announced was coming in MoP, I really only focused on the High Population Zones impact to gold making.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No one knows for sure how big of an impact it will make until we see it in action, but we can certainly take some stabs at it!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My initial thought that has persisted even as I learned more about how this will work, is that the zones for levels 8-90 will be the most affected by the “splitting” of the zone due to the high number of players trying to quest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those that remember the last couple of expansions, the starting zones for the new levels were insane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Too many people trying to get what they need and in a hurry to get it done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mix in with this, the toons that simply want to farm nodes to make gold (prices are always highest at start of expansion) along with the professional farmers (bots) and you had a rough time getting any substantial supply.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What we do not know is at what point do they separate or split the zone, is it 100 people in the zone?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>200?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>500?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would be willing to be the number is high which means there will still be some serious competition but at some point the supply will double in availability because the zone will split into 2 zones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That means we should see more supply hitting the market faster.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My guess is that this will not really impact pricing in the initial 2 weeks because demand will outstrip supply no matter what due to the number of people trying to level crafting professions and get ready for raiding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What we will see are prices will fall sooner than they did in Cataclysm or WOTLK.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be truer for those on low pop servers than the high pop servers because of the demand levels.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In any case, beware of flipping at high prices for very long as the price may fluctuate a lot during the first months of the expansion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My Strategy</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I see a huge potential right now in the lower level commodities, the ore, herbs and leather that are used for leveling from 1-525.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This stuff is cheap right now, insanely cheap in some cases, so buy it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You filled up your Guild Bank and your bags?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good, then go buy some more because the new technology combined with a new class/race is going to drive demand higher than people expect and not many people are stocking up on the low level supplies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they were buying it up then the AH would be seeing much higher prices.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Be patient on this strategy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a midterm investment that I think can earn you back 500-1000% returns on your investment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I will post more about how to flip MoP commodities as we get closer to the release but for now, go develop a game plan for the lower level supplies and buy now before you miss the opportunity as I expect that once the prices start to climb in MoP, they will not drop as often or as much as we have seen in the past.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What started this posting was a conversation with one of my guild mates who mentioned a frustrating experience for one of our guildies in a low level zone where she was trying to farm ore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was being beat to mining nodes and was seeing players everywhere she went in the zone and then realized these players were from a different realm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few days ago she was farming this same zone with no competition and only running into the occasional player.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That is when I had an “Aha” moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cross Realm Zones has already impacted us, now the question is how and what to expect going forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Up until this moment, I was only thinking about how this change would impact leveling zones from levels 86-90 when MoP is released.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reality is that there is now a major change throughout the entirety of the leveling experience which in turn will drive changes in the economies on each server.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To better explain this I am going to give 2 different examples, lower populated zones versus higher populated zones. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lower Populated Zone Impact<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is a rather interesting change because of the impact it will have on the supply in your Auction House.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This change will impact all lower level commodities like ore and herbs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This really impacts the toons that want to level their professions more than anything else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Leveling requirements have changed so dramatically over the years that toons now level faster than ever and will sometimes skip entire zones because they out leveled the zone before getting to it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If that toon was leveling a “farming” profession like mining, skinning or herbalism, they may go to that zone to level their skill and could so very quickly since no one was there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Until now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">By implementing this new technology, the toon that had an entire zone to themselves to farm their nodes is now competing with many people who are from different realms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Translate this to the impact on the Auction House and you will possibly have a lower supply, or at the very least, a slower supply into the Auction markets than previous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What does this mean to prices?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seems to me that when supply slows up but demand stays constant then prices go up and for someone like me this is going to be a great way to flip more goods at higher prices.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We may also see fewer people choosing farming professions because of the competition in the zones will make it slower to level the skills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If this is the case it will only further suppress the supply side of the equation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Larger realms will more than likely see prices slowly increase without much of an issue and will be absorbed into the game because there is a ton of gold floating around on higher population servers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Small population servers may be hurt the most by this, as they may see higher spikes in prices that is not as easily absorbed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both markets will be prime space for people like me who make the majority of their gold flipping items for profit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have been so focused on what will happen in MoP that I didn’t even notice the changes in our server economy until a guildy mentioned it to me last night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may not have noticed either, in fact, I was expecting the change to impact the economy upon the release of MoP that would effect MoP commodities and never thought about the how the change would be felt in all of the game.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The change? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cross Realm Zones</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Let me explain how this works before we discuss the impact to the economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blizzard has initiated this new technology that allows servers to “merge” in zones that are under populated and "split" zones that are over populated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Have you leveled a toon in the last year or two and felt like you were the only person in the entire zone?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You probably were!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the major differences in WoW since its launch is the number of players in a zone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can remember leveling my very first toon in Vanilla WoW and while running around questing in a zone I would pass by other players or run into a player working on the same quests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was very rare to be in a zone and not see some else for any length of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fast forward to today, leveling a toon from 1-80 can be a lonely experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only time I have seen another toon in a low level zone was because they were a level 85 farming commodities or working on their Loremaster Achievement.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Were you one of the folks that bought the WOTLK or CATA expansion and were leveling your toon at the moment it was released?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then you can remember, as I do, the absolute craziness of how many toons were trying to complete the same quests you were trying to complete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were times that you had to “stand in line” to kill a particular NPC or get a mob kill that you needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was very frustrating, especially the higher population servers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have not experienced this, then think of it this way; Take all of the toons you see on any given day right now in Stormwind AND Orgimmar, double it and then put them all in the first leveling Zone!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good luck!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Blizzard sees both of these scenarios as issues that impact the experience of the game player and has introduced Cross Realm Zones to even out these imbalances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to Blizzard’s site “When you’re in a zone that is set as a ‘cross-realm zone’ you’ll notice that in addition to the players you’d ordinarily see from your realm, you’ll also see (and be able to play with) players from other realms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will happen seamlessly, and players will be able to group and quest as they normally would with players from their own realm.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I love this from a leveling standpoint, it gives us a much richer experience and allows us to meet other players even if they are from different realms and establish friendships, recruit guild members and group up instances and deliver a more social leveling experience.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">OK, that is how it works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So how does it impact your gold making?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay tuned for Part 2 to get my take on this!</span></div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8LKVwi2WjyqnZCGM_YjCxKNImDRFwnO0HuLN1Wd3S5BFRyg8cJO7tob8IX2zt8lDYuv79MphhZr7XyKB0GJMbZfuu2hHdxsCq3dHr63D9cQglfo4pE_SY809SNA0BRV2hA59AMB1GhyP6/s1600/imagesCA4124XL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8LKVwi2WjyqnZCGM_YjCxKNImDRFwnO0HuLN1Wd3S5BFRyg8cJO7tob8IX2zt8lDYuv79MphhZr7XyKB0GJMbZfuu2hHdxsCq3dHr63D9cQglfo4pE_SY809SNA0BRV2hA59AMB1GhyP6/s1600/imagesCA4124XL.jpg" /></a></div>
My main interest in playing WoW has always been raiding; farming the Auction House has always been a fun secondary diversion that helps my main interest of raiding. Having a lot of gold when you raid is a huge advantage; you can buy gear when it firsts hits the Auction House, buy recipes for gear, buy all the materials you need, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It just makes raiding that much more enjoyable and easy.<br />
<br />
But what else can you do with these Auction House skills?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can help your raid team or your Guild Bank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my case, I am also a GM for a medium sized guild of about 500 toons and over 100 unique accounts that loves to do casual raiding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have been around for over 3 years and have cleared all non heroic content and dabbled a little in heroic content from time to time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before the guild changes were introduced in Cataclysm, I would spend part of my Auction House time making gold for the Guild Bank.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a separate toon that handled all the gold for the guild, bought and sold items, cleaned the Guild Bank tabs of the clutter and was mostly focused on bringing in about 20k gold a month for the guild to use which then purchased herbs, fish or whatever materials were needed for flasks and feasts.<br />
<br />
Once Cataclysm hit though, my duties were needed less because of the guild perks and the guild challenges that were introduced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But that doesn’t mean we cannot give to our guilds and our raid teams for a worthwhile reason, after all, we still need to raid and progress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I look for deals that help the raid team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything from buying materials, gems, recipes and even enchants to help the team above and beyond what the guild pays for already.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
I don’t just give my gold, but instead I leverage (with Officers consent) the Guild Bank to achieve our gold goals by using my knowledge and experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
As an example: A few days ago, I was able to purchase a Rare Spectral Tiger Mount for about 200k gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a good price, too good to pass up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is also where you need to make a tough decision, buy it for me to resell and make gold for me, or buy it with the Guild Bank and resell it for the Guild.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
I bought it for the guild, an easy decision based on my personal gold stockpile and the need to help my guild prepare for MoP.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within 2 days I sold the mount for 325k, still a great deal for the buyer but a nice, fast return of gold for the Guild Bank.<br />
<br />
Another way that you can create great amounts of gold for the Guild Bank is through crafting in the early stages on raid releases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with very high costs for materials from raiding and the cost of a recipe, you can easily craft raiding gear and charge accordingly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why do this?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because the gold generated buys more materials, crafts more goods and then you can sell some while retaining some items for the raid members who now get geared for free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Not everyone is in a position like I am, as a GM of a raiding guild, to be able to use the Guild Bank to build more wealth for the guild.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But there are still many ways to do it on your own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Making gold is fun, but it is even more fun to be able to share it in a way that helps everyone meet their goals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me, that is a better feeling of accomplishment than simply giving away gold to people or buying things for people just because you have stockpiled so much gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has a purpose; to help the raid team progress though content without costing them a ton of gold.<br />
<br />
There is so much gold that can be made in the game, and it is a ton of fun to have it and spend it on things you want in the game that separate you from the common player.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But don’t forget about your guild, your raid team and others you spend time with in the game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Figure out what and how you could help and then set that as a goal for yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trust me, it is more fun giving back than just stockpiling more gold.<br />

<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Background</b>: Patch 5.04 had major changes to the glyph system, by eliminating Prime Glyphs and then adding a bunch of new glyphs into the game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Inscriptionists everywhere prepared for the patch by stocking up on inks at all levels to be ready for the mass infusion of sales.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It appeared on the Beta that the Blackfallow inks would not be tradable for lower level inks, so everyone traded and hunkered down for the storm. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The Reality</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">: The patch hit, the glyphs changed and new ones were added.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blackfallow ink is still tradable after all and the market is flooded with glyphs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sales were slow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am betting this was on most servers, so I would be curious to hear from others how it was on their servers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I posted about 200 glyphs and sold maybe 12 for a total of about 2400 gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On a typical day this would be fine, but on patch day this is horrible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Some of my feelings about this are probably stemming from the awesome patch 3.0 which was the pre patch to the expansion for WOTLK.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This patch introduced us to Inscriptionists and glyphs for the first time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is also known as “Glyphmas”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was posting glyphs, as were others, and they were selling so fast we could not keep up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made over 50k in sales that first day and nothing can really compare to that day since then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when we do have a day like yesterday it seems so mild in comparison that it feels likes a letdown or a market crash even though it wasn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So why was it a letdown?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were many people posting glyphs, more than ever on the server.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Normally there are about 3-4 regular posters of glyphs on the Auction House on my server, yesterday that number was over 20 and each one was undercutting the last one, cancelling their listings and reposting them etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am sure that if you were willing to sit there and post, cancel and repost these glyphs for a few hours straight then you would probably have made some decent sales for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But that is not my game, I love to spend a small amount of time to get big rewards and I had other stuff to do, like check out my talent specs, try out an instance to see how they affected game play etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Yesterday was not a bust however…Most people overlooked the secondary market.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would be the herbs that people use to mill and get ink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made a killing here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spent most of my auction house time over the last month or two stockpiling herbs that were selling so cheap due to the large number of alts running around the server who were farming their herbs to level their profession.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyday these herbs were sitting at such low prices, many times I would pick up entire stacks of herbs for less than 10 gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sales were slow on herbs for the last 2 months; evidently few of these alts were becoming alchemists or inscribers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">How good was it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was selling those stacks of herbs that I bought at 10 gold, for 200 gold or more!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sales were not crazy, but I had little to no competition and after spending all of 10 minutes posting some of my herb stocks I was able to clear a handsome profit of over 10k in one day and the sales are still coming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Lesson of the day: Don’t follow the crowd!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While everyone else was focused on inks, I decided that I would focus on herbs and it is paying off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many people unwilling to spend the 400-500 gold for a new glyph and are either an inscriptionist or know one in their guild and so they just make them and buy the herbs in the AH if they need them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Based on what I saw in the AH, very few people were stockpiling herbs, they had milled them into inks.</span></div>

There are so many that sometimes I even forget until I am standing at the mailbox and wondering what made me so much gold and then I see it, recipes!<br />
<br />
I have seen many suggestions about buying recipes from vendors and then reselling, a legitimate way to make some gold but not what I like to do. I prefer flipping recipes. These are the ones that can net you big amounts from one sale and require very little effort. I have several recipes that I search for each day and will buy out and then relist at much higher prices. <br />
<br />
These are niche recipes, rare or uncommon drops that people need to fill out their collection. Some are used for their purpose, such as the recipe for enchanters, Formula: Enchant Weapon - Fiery Weapon. People still use this enchant and so it has demand for those who want to use it as well as the collector. Others, like the recipe for Leatherworkers, Pattern: Dusky Boots, are more for the collector wanting to complete their list of recipes but can sell for big gold! Just ask Chame (guildy of mine on Bronzebeard) who bought this for 150 gold and then listed and sold it for 10k gold. <br />
<br />
So why don't more people do this? Why do some people list them so cheap? How come everyone else isn't writing about it in their blogs?<br />
<br />
Because it requires patience. Some of these may take several weeks to sell while others may move a little faster. This is not a method to get gold rich overnight, but it is an awesome way to make thousands of gold over time. In fact, I would venture to guess that I have made well over 200k from recipes over the last few years and that is probably understating it.<br />
<br />
To get into this market you need to know your crafting professions and prices and be prepared to buy more of the same recipes if they should hit the AH before your sells. Here are some of the recipes I go after in the enchanting profession: (this is just a small sample)<br />
<br />
These can go for 2-5k easy and more!<br />

Remember to put these and otehr recipes into your daily Auction House hunt so that you do not miss out on some sweet easy gold. It is not uncommmon to find them for as little as a few hundred gold or less.Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-39347417246416762802012-08-13T13:56:00.001-07:002012-08-13T13:56:52.904-07:00Stockpiling for MoP Part 2One of the areas many people do not think about before an expansion, is what items will I need to level my professions? This mistake could cost you thousands!<br />
<br />
I highly recommend that you research your professions in MoP and figure out what recipes you currently have that could award you skill points (the ones in green, yellow or red) and stockpile those now! By the time MoP hits those same mats will go up big time as others buy them for their professions to level. Many folks will want to use the new recipes but supplies in the AH will be limited for the first few weeks. This is BOTH a gold making opportunity and a Heads Up for you profession levelers!<br />
<br />
Take some time and look at your current list of recipes that will award points, then figure out what the materials are and start collecting them now. Get enough to level at least 10 points to 20 points for yourself. If you have multiple professions as I do, then you will need even more stock!<br />
<br />
On the other side of this equation will be the buyers! There will be tons of people who did not stockpile enough or at all, and they will be buying mats like crazy for the first few weeks of the expansion. Mats that went for 1 gold will now suddenly be 10 gold or more! So when you are looking at your list for your toons, take the time and buy more to resell.<br />
<br />
Example: Hypnotic Dust. This stiff was selling for as low as 10 silver each a week ago. It is already climbing on my server to as much as 3-4 gold each! I bet that it will hit as high as 15g each within the first few days of or weeks of MoP being released. If you can still find it cheap, then buy it! I have well over 500 stacks of this stuff! I have even unloaded a few stacks now at the current prices to recoup my investment. <br />
<br />
There are tons of examples though; Savage Leather, Heavy Savage Leather, Embersilk Cloth, Bolts of Embersilk, Pyrite Ore, Pyrium Bars, Maelstrom Crystals, Heavenly Shards, Volatiles, Herbs etc. These are still cheap, but they won't be for long. <br />
<br />
Watch for prices to start climbing each day we get closer. The farmers will either stop farming or stop posting so supplies will dwindle as we get closer. Others will not post because they want it for MoP, so your time is short for this massive potential of profits!<br />
<br />
Before you ask, yes, I am taking my own advice. I have been stockpiling for the last 2 months as prices bottomed out. I have 18 Guild Bank Tabs that are full, 3 Auction House Toons that are maxed out on bags space and banks space that are full. I also am bouncing mail between toons to keep inventory! <br />

With about 7 weeks to go before the official launch of Mists of Panadaria, there is still time to get a few good deals. Here are a few of my thoughts on things to buy.<br />
<br />
Pyrite Ore - If we use the release of Cata as a benchmark for pricing, then there is a huge opportunity for this to make tons of profit. On my server I am finding the ore for about 30 gold per stack as people dump their stock. During Cata, I was averaging about 400 gold per stack of Titanium Ore, WOTLK's equivalent of Pyrite Ore. Could it go this high again? Who knows? But I am willing to sit on a a few hundred stacks to see. If it does then you will make a HUGE profit.<br />
<br />
Chaos Orbs - I really don't see too many people discussing this item but I think there is a huge upside to this one. It is hard to compare these to their equivalent, Frozen Orbs, but I think there is even more upsaide this go around. Why? Illusionary Bags. We have found out that there will not be a new bag in MoP that is more than 24 slots. Illusionary Bags are going to remain the biggest bag in the game at 26 slots. The way to make these is by using Dreamcloth. Dreamcloth is made with bolts of Embersilk and either Chaos Orbs or 30 Volatiles of your choice. For now, there is no change in the cooldown period for Dreamcloth (which could change) so you are limited to 1 per week per type of volatile. The good news? No cooldowns for Chaos Orb Dreamcloth! Want that bag right now? You need 8 Dreamcloth. At least 3 will have to come from Chaos Orbs which means 15 orbs!= with very few people running heroic 5 mans from Cata...get the point?<br />
<br />
Whiptail - Herbs always have a use, but I like Whiptail for 2 reasons; alchemy levelers and inscription. The trick here is to stock up on while it is cheap. I see thousands sitting in the AH for about 20 gold per stack or less. Buy it, mill it and process it into Blackfallow Ink then trade the ink for lower inks in inscription. You will have 2 ways to make some serious coin, selling glyphs or selling the ink. I tend to get bored with the glyph market so I usually sell the ink. While everyone yells at me for this strategy, let me just say that if you do it right you can make 5-10 times your investment selling the ink which is far less work and effort.<br />
<br />
I will be back to post some more items, but this gives you something to think about for today!Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-68441053260795714232012-07-25T10:46:00.000-07:002012-07-25T10:46:49.358-07:00MoP Release Date!You may have noticed that I have been absent, mostly real life keeping me busy and some WoW doldrums keeping me away. I have been doing the raid thing and that's about it. Then I see an article over on WoW Insider that MoP will be released on September 25th! Holy cow do I have a lot to do until then!<br />
<br />
One of the best times to make gold, and I mean a lot of gold, is to flip mats that people are stocking up for MoP. Yes, you need to stockpile for MoP as well, but you need to be smart and watch the market fluctuations and supply. I am willing to bet you will see some mats suddenly dry up and prices sky rocket just because of this announced release date. So if you needed to stock up it's too late right? Nope.<br />
<br />
Make a list of what you think will be in demand in MoP and watch the markets closely. Buy on lows and buy it all if you can. Then take 50% of your newly purchased goodies and relist at much higher prices. You would be surprised how many people will stock up on these mats even at the higher prices! I call this "Free Stockpiling". The concept is simple. Buy it as cheap as you can, stockpile half and relist half for at least double the price you paid. Stay in this market and keep buying and resisting, you will sell the stock and when you do you will have earned back all the gold you spent on your stockpile! That means your stock starts out at zero cost so anything you sell it for is profit!!!<br />
<br />
Be patient, I say this a lot because to make serious gold you must have nerves of steel and be patient for the rewards sometimes, and stick out the market. It will be a wild ride for the next 3 months!Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-37185147448172030142012-06-08T12:33:00.002-07:002012-06-08T12:33:42.455-07:00Profits with Fiery WeaponOne of the oldest enchanting recipes, fiery weapon, is still one of the best moneymakers in the game! It it used by leveling toons because it is a great stat modifier for dps and it works on BoA gear for alts. The recipe requires 4 small radiant shards and 1 Essence of Fire. These mats are cheap, unless I am the one selling them! Try to keep the market clear of these mats at cheap prices while you work the enchant market. I can usually find these items for 2-3 gold each or even lower. Sell the enchant for 150 gold or better if you can. On my server we seem to sell about 30 of these per week right now.<br />
<br />
you will see people post these for much less, so you have 2 choices; buy them out or let them sell them cheaper. you may have a 3rd choice which is to undercut them but I hate undercutting if it means low profit margins. my strategy is simple, buy out the mats in the AH and buy out the cheap enchants, relist 4-5 at a time for 150-100 gold each and watch my profits soar!<br />
<br />
Don't forget about those mats either, I usually relist the Small Radiant Shards for 15g each and the Essence of Fire for about 20g each.<br />
<br />
Easy Gold!!!Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-45967400265431066042012-05-23T17:43:00.001-07:002012-05-23T17:43:39.644-07:00D3 Auction House BluesDiablo 3 has been unleashed and it is wreaking havoc on our sales because so many that play WoW have gone to the dark side to play Diablo 3. Mists of Pandaria is on the horizon, most progression raiding has come to a halt and now the release of Diablo 3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the perfect storm!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sales have slowed, prices have fallen and for those that are willing to invest in the market, there will be plenty of opportunities to buy, buy, buy!<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This particular combination of events has combined to give us a unique look into supply and demand at work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people know that when supply is high and demand is low then prices fall, when supply is low and demand is high then prices rise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A lot of people don’t know what happens when supply and demand meet in the middle, this is called equilibrium.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically this means that we have hit an unusual point in time in the AH, where we see the equilibrium of prices for the goods we sell because the demand and the supply are balanced.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This also means that we are about to shift, meaning that the market is about to move in a direction from here based on the laws of supply and demand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The question is whether it goes up or down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe that prices are about to down because I see demand slowing for a while and supply rising.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is considered a tipping point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why do I think this?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Diablo 3 will keep people busy for the next few weeks, and then slowly they will come back to WoW and put more time into WoW, we have seen this before so the pattern has already been established.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But raiding will still be slow, so what do people do when raiding is slow?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They start ALTS!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s right, more toons!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most people think this means demand will go up on items, and it is true we will see some spikes here and there, but many of these toons will will have farming professions of mining, herbalism or skinning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s means we will see supply increase for all levels, demand will not catch up and prices will drop.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Oh, and one more thing, summer is here which means kids are out for the summer and they will be logging in more than ever to play which will also increase supply.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I see the following weeks as an opportunity to stock up when prices are at low points, in many cases these low points have not been seen since last expansion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Relist when the opportunity presents itself but do not go overboard because you will find that there will plenty of others listing under your price.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do not let this discourage you, be smart, buy smart and stock up!</span></div>Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-51660105998318474162012-05-22T14:02:00.000-07:002012-05-22T14:21:41.618-07:00Flipping GoldMost of the ways I make gold in WoW is through the simple concept of buying and selling the product through "flipping" it. This method is widely used, but very few understand the intracacies of what, when, where and how to do it to maximize profits. So here are some simple rules to follow or guide you in the process of flipping.<br />
<br />
<br />
First of all, know your market. I used to be against the idea of buying and flipping armor for example, but when Blizzard added the ability to Transmorgify armor it changed the game. I only do small amounts of armor, but knowing which pieces are in demand and having patience to relist them a few times can pay off big time. I have purchased items for under 25 gold and simply relisted them for 500-1000 gold and they have sold. I could write up an entire method on just flipping armor and weapons because the market has changed so much.<br />
<br />
<br />
Second, be willing to relist items many times. A good example is Copper Bars. I love to buy out Copper Ore and Copper Bars then relist them at higher rates. I have two strategies here, price them high enough that I make lots of gold but not so high that no one buys them; and price the Copper Ore higher than the Copper Bars so that people feel like they are getting a deal to just buy the Bars. Copper Bars will usually sell for about 1g per bar or less until I buy them and relist them for 2.5g per bar. This equates to about a 150% profit or more, but it does take patience because they are not a high demand item.<br />
<br />
<br />
Third, be willing to buy more even after you have bought and flipped. Be careful, this is where most people go wrong. They come in and buy out the Copper Bars, relist them for a higher rate and then see that someone has come to the market and undercut them or filled the low end pricing of 1g each or less. So what do you do? Buy it. If you don't have the stomach for this then don't try flipping. There have been times I have bought Copper Bars for 4 or 5 days straight without selling a single stack. Most people give up and then relist lower and make very little or no profit. This cannot be done unless you are willing to buy, buy, buy. Eventually the market will stall, your copper will be bought and you will make tons of profits.<br />
<br />
<br />
Fourth, be willing to cancel auctions and relist again. Ok, so now you bought the Copper Bars and relisted them for 2.5g each and some guy undercuts you buy a copper, what do you do? Well it depends on how many they listed. If they listed a stack or two then I would leave them alone and let them be happy. Chances are you will never see them again and they just listed based on what the current market showed. However, if they listed several stacks then you may want to go ahead and cancel your auctions and relist them by undercutting the competition. I usually do not bother undercutting unless I see it is a regular competitor of mine or someone posted a ton of stacks under mine.<br />
<br />
<br />
Fifth, be willing to wait. Sales happen in spurs, do not relist items thinking they will all sell overnight because if you do you will be disappointed. <br />
<br />
<br />
Sixth, you do not need to undercut all the time. If the item you are selling is in high demand then undercutting is only temporary, if enough of them sell then the buyers will eventually reach you so don't worry about it. This really wraps back up to knowing your market, if you know what the demand looks like then you will know what to expect, what to price them at and how long it will take.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will elaborate further on this topic, but this will give you a start at how to flip items in the AH. Good luck and happy auctioneering!Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-39228575959775909982012-05-15T20:41:00.000-07:002012-05-15T20:41:42.004-07:00Choke Points = More Gold!One of the methods I like to employ is by knowing where potential choke points are in the crafting process. There are several if you look for them and are patient enough to let them work out for your profits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One that comes to mind is Eternal Fire, something I discussed in an earlier post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eternal Fire is used in 40 recipes, most of which are not really used unless someone is leveling their crafting skills on an alt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So how is it a choke point?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One recipe: Smelt Titansteel<br />
<br />
Titansteel is not in huge demand but is in demand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is used in many recipes, but one in particular helps keep this material in demand, the Mekingeer’s Chopper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People are still buying that mount and having it crafted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only way to build this mount is to smelt Titansteel Bars and to do that you need Eternal Fire which means it is a choke point!<br />
<br />
How to capitalize on this?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Buy Eternal Fires and mark them up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Buy Crystallized Fire and create Eternal Fire with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Craft the Titansteel Bars and mark them up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make it tough on your competition to craft Titansteel Bars because you own and control the Eternal Fire market.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they want to craft them then they need to have Eternal Fire in their bank, or farm them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
How much profit?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This one opportunity gives us the following:<br />
<br />
Eternal Fire – I buy them for pretty much any price under 50 gold and then relist for 75 gold minimum.<br />
<br />
Titansteel Bar – Takes 3 Titanium Bars, 1 Eternal Fire, 1 Eternal Earth and 1 Eternal Shadow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The average cost of these mats are 25g for the Eternals and 35 gold each for the Titanium Bars so that is an overall cost of roughly 180 gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sell these for 400 gold each.<br />
<br />
Titanium Bar – I buy any bars listed for under 35g a bar, most of the time they are around 20-25g each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then relist them for 50g each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are smelted from Titanium Ore, another great choke point!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Titanium Ore - I buy the ore at under 20g each and most of the time I buy them for 10-15 gold per each ore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes 2 ore to make 1 bar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I relist the ore for 25g for each ore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This helps push the price of the Titanium Bars which I then relist for 50g each.<br />
<br />
So let’s review.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found 2 decent choke points that both lead to an end product, the Titansteel Bars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I try to control the different levels of the production line so that the costs to create the bars justify the cost for the end product, in other words, they can’t make it cheaper by buying the lower mats and smelting them so they just buy the bars from me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But if they do buy the materials then I make huge profits there too.<br />
<br />
At each level I am making a minimum 50% profit, and in most cases over 100% profit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are tons of other choke points in the market, can you find them?<br />Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-42792294729554848572012-05-14T19:02:00.000-07:002012-05-14T19:02:18.738-07:00Black Market Auction House!<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, like several others this weekend, I browse MMO Champion to find out they discovered a new feature in MoP Beta, the Black Market AH!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are you kidding me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is awesome!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the basics of how it works is easy (as far as we know now), Blizzard has created a way to buy limited items in the AH from NPC toons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Need that mount that never dropped?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Want a pet that won’t drop?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can’t finish the achievements you need to get that mount?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Limited time to raid so can’t get the best gear?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fear not!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just go to the AH and buy them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yeah baby!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I see this as a huge win for people like me who just want that one item and are willing to pay the price.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have seen several bloggers talking about whether they can flip the item into the regular AH and make gold, maybe we can but I have a feeling that Blizzard will make these all BoP items, even if they were BoE normally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But who knows?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What really fascinates me about this move is the number of blogger’s who are talking about this being a “gold sink” to remove massive amounts of gold from the economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The theory is that this will force prices down in the AH and bring back some normalcy to the WoW economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By removing tons of wealth from the game, there will be less to spread around.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That’s their theory, what’s mine?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I seem to be of the very few who feel that this will really have no impact in the economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My reason is simple; removing some gold from the game is not the same as removing the source of the gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sources are; Players, Bots, Gold Sellers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Players are stable at around 10 million accounts so there probably will be no change there, so that leaves Bots and Gold Sellers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Bots have not only made it through each expansion, they have grown in numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blizzard cracks down on them but each time they make progress the clever software developers find ways around it and they come roaring back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only nice thing about Bots are that you can watch them in the AH as they over supply the market in items like ore until the market is bottomed out and over supplied, then move on to another item like herbs and repeat the pattern.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This creates great buying opportunities for people like us if you are willing to invest the gold.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Gold Sellers keep doing what they do; selling gold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They run some of the Bots, they also hack accounts, and they buy gold from legit farmers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They use whatever means they can to obtain gold cheaply and then sell for profits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As long as there are buyers there will be gold sellers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will only come out of the cracks as MoP hits the market.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, while everyone else keeps saying that this Black Market AH will take gold out of the economy and be a price reliever to the Auction House prices, I say that nothing will change and prices will continue to inflate at rapid paces because unless Blizzard removes the Bots and Gold Sellers, nothing really changes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gold will still flow into the game and with a new expansion, the demand for this gold will only increase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the demand may be even higher than in past expansions because of the inflation along with the new Black Market AH demands.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Whether I am right or wrong, time will tell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But regardless of the outcome, the Black Market AH is a freaking awesome addition!!!</span></div>Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753289136059524768.post-38824889084621938002012-05-09T08:16:00.000-07:002012-05-09T08:16:37.671-07:00Easy GoldOne of the methods I have used to make some gold is very easy, all you need is access to Dalaran and a few gold and patience. The externals from the WoTLK expansion sell very well and can sell for high amounts because of their limited supply. Why are they limited? People do not want to farm, people do not store them in their banks for a rainy day when they need them on alt and bots do not farm them because the potential sales are too low for them to bother.
Method 1 Buy them cheap and resell them. The eternal fire, air, shadow and earth are in more demand than others because of their recipes uses for people to level professions. I buy these when they are listed in the AH under 15 gold, sometimes I will go as high as 25 and even higher for fire. I relist them for 35 to 40 gold for earth and shadow. Air goes for 50 gold and fire goes as high as 75 gold. Fire has more potential not just because of how many recipes they are used in, but they are a necessity for those wanting to craft the mekingeer chopper. The chopper requires titansteel bars and to craft those they need eternal fire.
Because of this supply chain, I often find that titansteel bars are only available if there are eternal fire available and that is not always the case. So people are willing to pay for them. As you may know, I hate farming unless it is Auction House farming!
Method 2 Buy Frozen Orbs. This is where Dalaran comes into the picture. Most people have forgotten about the trader by the AH in Dalaran who will trade Frozen Orbs for several different items, one of which is eternal fire. I find Frozen Orbs on the AH for 5 gold to 35 gold all the time....buy them up and trade them for eternal fire and list them on the AH for 75 gold. Easy profits!
These 2 methods alone will net me about 1k a week in profits for about 10 minutes work or less.Dealmakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01960647258516068525noreply@blogger.com0
