Europe got the patch yesterday! Sadly enough I didn’t have too much time to check it all out so I did the important stuff only. My warlock got 40K (!!) honor in marks, and my Shaman got 20x Frost lotus from the frozen orb trader…
And Gold twinkeled in my eyes!
first off let’s see what you can get with the frozen orbs:
The price of these at my server are:
Frozen orb = 30ish gold
4 orb = 100G
6 orb = 160G
Eternals = 8-14G (depending on which)
Frost lotus = 35-50G
Now these are probably going to change a bit. Though dependent on the server, my guess is that the “higher quality” orbs, are going to fall down in price (25%ish) , the eternals will double in price for the first month then settle on 150% value and the frost lotus is going to drop 10% in price. That’s my prediction, but since we can’t look in the future I’m working with my current nrs.
Currently my Goldmaking tips are:
1: buy frozen orbs that are below 25 gold on AH.
2: trade them to frost lotus
3: sell those for 30-35 gold on the AH = profit
So as of this moment a frozen orb is worth 35Gold, this will change though, but then ofc I’ll let you know.
Great tip by Oxymustard:
Nice tip, I’d also like to give out a tip to your Alchemist readers. If you’re an alchemist or are still leveling you better hurry and make Potion Mastery your area of expertise. You sometimes make 4-5 flasks for the price of 2. With flask prices dwinling in the 25-30g area that could mean a 40-60g profit on a frost lotus + mats.
Farming 1
why farm these mats? Well These are needed for the crafters, also be sure to sell them early since a lot of crafters are looking forward to making these as christmas just begins (before the war starts and prices fumble)
Out of the mats above you can make Green Winter Clothes and Winter Boots (Tailoring and Leatherworking accordingly)
Farming 2:
aaah yes the small eggs…. they are needed for the cookies baby! be sure to post them up for sale a day BEFORE the season is on us! since the others won’t be there by then and you’ll have the first few hours off and up for you, while everyone else is still farming for those eggs.
Don’t forget to buy some refreshing spring water with it and sell it all on the AH!
My recommended starting Buy out prices (before others post – that’s why you need to post these at least a day before the event starts!!!!)
- Copper ore — 50G for 5
- Wool Cloth — 25G for 10
- Rune Cloth — 50G for 10
- Rugged leather — 50G for 5
- Small Egg — 50G a piece
Don’t worry if there are some others still at 5 or 10G before the event, they will be bought out soon enough… (or you can buy them and repost them ppl!)
This is a quick and easy way to make money, just make sure you can start before the holiday event for the most profit and a few hours of near monopoly!
Sell your WANDS! the costume wands are highly desired by achievement junkies and they are willing to pay for it. 5-50G a charge (depending your server) could be worth your time, no?
On another note:
Lvling alts can be a chore, visit all the inns for some extra xp (and candy) The xp is quite good and the candy makes leveling faster = more profitable.
this was my small tip for today and also my first on this new site. I
I logged in yesterday and was like: ok… I was at 120K and now i’m at 118K again… what happened to my 2K of money (1.560G to be honest)
Ooooh yeah the nether essences…. damn.
Leveling enchanting is a real pain in the butt. It’s fairly slow and very, very expensive. Ofcourse now that Vellums are available (since wrath) It’s less painfull. You can enchant the vellums and sell them on the AH, they don’t have a cost to post so thats even better. Ofcourse you can also use the vellums for other characters, so If you are a altaholic like me it’s nice to have about 10 diffrent scolls with enchants on your guildbank.
Nether essence is very difficult to farm (green weapons lvl40-45) so I didn’t want to have my available time in Zul’farrak. And I bought the items: 1.5K gold for lvling enchanting from 200 to 295.
I’m keeping enchanting a bit around that lvl though, want to spend more time getting everything in order. (getting my alts to 80 and gearing the last 3 spots on my shaman)
Also: I don’t know If I’m getting a blog up tomorrow. I can’t play today (going to pool and poker this eve now that I have a bit more time between work, school and home situation) And I’m off to a booksalething. 20K+ books all for 90-75% cheaper then in a store. (if you live in Belgium or the Netherlands: Boekenfestijn, look it up)
Well I’ll be damned… I’ve been sitting here the last months telling people: farm lowlvl stuff, and one of my favorite examples is Mithril and Thorium ore/bar.
MMO-Champion has made a new guide, using that farming info. Ofcourse this is something any player with a mind can think of, so I’m not even suprised.
What bugs me though is: Now I have to find a way around my own lowlvl farming goldmaker…. And to be honest the only awnser there is: Farm yourself!
or
Crash the market… héhé thats an idea *evil thoughts* Go into a bidding war so that the prices tumble down to below 50%, buy them all up, wait a week, and resell again at 80%
first off all before you start listening: 1 – This is being recorded with a fairly bad mic, a better one will be bought if the podcast is to your liking. 2- In the podcast you’ll hear me say sheep, I listened to the podcast again and I thought it came out as cheap, so trust me if I say it’s meant as SHEEP. 3- any comments or ideas are more then welcome as long as they are constructive. 4- I was very very very nervous so be gentle. You’ll probably hear it in the beginning and a little lest at the end, so be sure to give me info about that. 5- this podcast isn’t downloadable at this point. I want to see how the reactions are before pumping money into a site.
I got an interesting Question from Shayline the other day: How can I make money with mining and only a limited time to play?
Well this is a very interesting question and one that is a real problem for the casual player.
First off all: you have 2 proffesion slots: so take another one with you (a crafting one) But about the mining now: 1st of all: get to know whats high priced in the server and what can be sold in large quantities. Since your on my own server, mithril and saronite are both good for their time. 2nd off all: try to get to an agreement with someone that they will buy lets say 5-10 stacks from you, every week for a fixed price. That way you are sure of income. 3th: if you can’t get someone to keep buying your stuff: AH.. never ever sell something that can be used to a vendor.. always to a real player, either by /2 or AH. Since mining is a gather proffesion, you’ll always have to spend time to gather which means you can’t make more money then the time put in. Ofc if you are grinding for mines in scholozar basin, you can get up to 450-600G for an hour of farming. which is significantly lower than what I make for 30mins at AH.
What could also boost your income with mining: Get someone to prospect your ore, and sell the gems instead, and see if it’s worthwile it.
My recommendation for “casual” players: Get some money together, then drop the gathering proffesion and level jewelcrafting or inscription. You’ll earn double the money with only half the effort!
So Yesterday I started the Scribing bussiness. Well at least I tried…. Ari: Heralism: 300 ( ooh the grind, the grind! *horror*) Ell: Inscription 150
Ell could’ve getten higher but I wasted enough time yesterday. Now for the bad part:
Problem 1: 1-150: not many glyphs that are worth selling, or that sell for profit. fe. kingsblood = 1.90G a piece = 38G for a full stack. 5 kingsblood = 2-3 usefull pigment x 5 = +/-12 pigment = 6 inks 6 inks = 3 x a two ink glyph or 6 x a one ink glyph. both of which only sell for about 4-7G… so 6x 7gold = 42G okaj profit right? 42G – 10% AHcut = 37.8Gold = LOSS
Problem 2: Even though I grinded most of the mats (so I can spend more money on the books of glyph) I still don’t have enough and will have to buy more to lvl and lose money, granted due to my grinding i only lost about 60G yesterday (including buying the 32slot- bags)
Problem 3: From what I see : most money is made with minor Glyphs at low lvl and highlvl glyphs from books. Which means I have to spend more money on getting the books since they are one of the few profitables.
Now my question for you guys: How do you know your glyphs are making money with the goblin way? (with other words: severe undercutting)
Do you guys use the same formula as me (blue in the post)? or do you have another one?
So I’ve been quiet lately, long hours at work, and some personal problems made WoW, blogging and others a bit difficult. Well it should be over now.
So i’ve been doing a lot of trading this week and now fully control the Rigid King’s amber and the Runed Cardinal Ruby market. (post once every day for only 10G profit +/- 160G) No-one is even trying to get under my price, and if they do I sell with 1G to even 50s silver. (including the AH cut etc etc)
But There was something missing… I Don’t have enough time to do my daily JC quest everyday, and most off the tokens I use for the Dragons eye to improve my raiding gear. So I needed another way to make decent money. So what did I do? invested 8K gold in gems, and are selling slowly to have a steady income. (about 500-600G a day) Bought 2x Mychals botanic bag. (800G) Dropped mining on Ari and picked up herbalism (240skill right now) Dropping Skinning on Elloën. and….
Taking…
Inscription.
Yes before all the rants start… I said I would never ever take inscription. Yes, uhuh I know. Yes, indeed, uhuh, now SHHHH! As a “bussiness” man I had to take the opertunity. The market for glyphs is so huge, and uncontrolled that well it needs a banker… seriously. I see glyphs selling for 60-100G! I can cut the price in half (customer happy), Get some good and easy gold (I’m happy) and others will sell a lot less (sellers not happy, which in turn makes me happy)
So yes Ari is maxing out her herbing skill so that Ell has enough herbs to minimize the costs. When the skill is maximized I can start making profit on it. When that is done, I’m going to grind for some more herbs. Then drop herbing and take Alchemy. To get my hand in the Alchemy market.
So if all goes well in 1 to 2 weeks time I’ll have my hand in: -Parts of the gem market - whole Glyph market - LW market (not that this actually is worthwile -_-) - Alchemy market (mainly changing and selling gems)
Hope all goes well! Any ideas or some comments are welcome!!!
Hey all, Yesterday i checked prices from Mining materials on my server. And as we all know end-game mats of vanilla (thorium/mithril) are expensive. Now what i also saw is that (on my server atleast) they are worth more then saronite… Saronite full stack = 20G Mithril full stack = 50G Thorium full stack = 70G
Even old gems are going for 15G a piece! some even for 30-50G (I’m looking at you Azerothian diamond!) While I see hihglvl gems going for the same and even a lesser price! So my advice for you: Are you lvling mining? or lvling a character? or just a high lvl miner and bored? Try to go to some old locations with mithril/thorium (every 50-60 area is great! except for feralas) And see how much money you can make.. Ariäni lvld the past week, and while I didn’t go out of my way to get anything. I came up with 3 stacks of mithril that I couldn’t use anymore, and some stones and lowerlvl gems. While lvling I made 250G just from those stacks. in a lvl 50ish area… I don’t know if you remember but…250G was a big deal back when on vanilla. Now 250G is enough for a raidnight and thats it, but while lvling this can get you a long way. So again, if your lvling or want to start it, get mining… It’s a pain in the ass from tin to iron (gap is quite big) but after that you’ll thank me.
