Back.... with a tip

With 3.3 just going live on PTR I had a look at what might make some money once it hits and thus I had a look at what is changing in the crafting professions on the early literature.

Tailoring

• Leggings of Woven Death have been added to the game.
• Deathfrost Boots have been added to the game.
• Lightweave Leggings have been added to the game.
• Sandals of Consecration have been added to the game.

Leatherworking

• Legwraps of Unleashed Nature have been added to the game.
• Blessed Cenarion Boots have been added to the game.
• Bladeborn Leggings have been added to the game.
• Footpads of Impending Death have been added to the game.
• Lightning-infused Leggings have been added to the game.
• Earthsoul Boots have been added to the game.
• Draconic Bonesplinter Legguards have been added to the game.
• Rock-steady Treads have been added to the game.

Blacksmithing

• Puresteel Legplates have been added to the game.
• Protectors of Life have been added to the game.
• Legplates of Painful Death have been added to the game.
• Hellfrozen Bonegrinders have been added to the game.
• Pillars of Might have been added to the game.
• Boots of Kingly Upheaval have been added to the game.

Now have a look at most of the Blacksmithing gear, most use Eternal Shadow and with Plate being one of the most worn armors in the game I bet it would only be a matter of time before people start asking for these to be made and thus prices will start to go up.

Hopefully the plans/patterns etc will not be too hard to get as everyone will want a piece of the Item Level 251 pie.

Stolen

Well your more than likely waiting for an update, well have I got one for you.

After a week of buying stock and selling regulars, we made some good cash and good stock.

I decided to clean out most of the mats and low and behold, we have been cleaned out. Most of our gold stolen and almost all our mats gone.

It was a old Officer from when the guild started. A good friend (or so i thought) who I had kept in the guild with myself and my banking partner as he was offline for some time and I wanted him to know where to find my main when/if he came back.

So here's your lesson. DONT TRUST anyone.

Blizzard is now in the process of reviewing my ticket and thus I might get some of the stuff back or not.

If not its 3000+ G gone.

Welcome Back

Ola my dear readers.

Sorry for the long absence but my WOW time has been drastically shortened by a teething baby (still love her though).

I have however been playing a bit of WOW and have been doing quite a few dailies as well as some questing, either for Heroic BC instance keys or Rep grinding.

The money making aspect has not been going as well as I would have liked after making a few mistakes andinvesting some of my gold in stock.

Firstly: THE MONEY

With approx 300G spread over my characters, I have a limited source of investment should something nice come my way.

I might or might not have told you that I have invested in 3 full stacks (60 units) of Titanium ore and a deck of cards which netted me another Beserker Card which I currently have listed on the AH for 799Bid and 999BO. If it sells at this price then I will be making 350-550G profit on this item excl the listing fee.

I do however have BAD news when it comes to the two Darkmoon Card: Twisting Nether which still have not sold thus I am relisting for 150G each and they still not selling.

Now I have had some hard days as trying to level my main's Tailoring and First Aid to 420+ has been a very very expensive ecersize and thus have left me wanting money desperately.

So... to get back on track I have set myself some new goals.

With my main toon I plan on doing all the Outland Heroic Dungeons this week with my new guild and thus not spend a cent with her, netting myself some AWESOME gear as well as making myself some good money as Heroics normally give 40+G per dungeon.

I will also continue with my dailies which net me in the region of 1-12G per daily and some well deserved reputation with some cool factions.

Having created a DK (now 58) and getting her to Stormwind means that I now have a roaming banker/mule which can go to rough areas to either buy prooduct or farm mats/items.

She is currently situated at the Darkmoon Faire in Mulgore where my lower alts would not be able to go, due to unsafe cicumstances (horde/level).

Now I understand that you want to read this blog to learn what to buy and what not, but this week I am actually dry on ideas.

My AH has had a mind of its own this last week with people not realizing that they bring a market down via hectic undercutting.

One thing I didnt count on was the rush...

the rush that the announcment of 3.2 caused on the AH in regards to Titanium Ore.

Prices with this rush to buy stock SKY rocketed for about 2 weeks after the announcement to a level where I could have made 50G easy profit on the higher prices which I had originally paid.

I decided not to post my stock on the AH as I need to be patient just in case the tip really pays of after 3.2 gets implemented.

I have also stopped trying to post green items on the AH due to the higher list prices and thus cutting your profits by as much as 50%, so i decided all unused green items with a less than average AH price of 30+G will be vendored or given to the guild as:

TIME = MONEY

and relisting a non selling items is a waste of time, time thish could have been used to farm 10 more mobs for cloth/leather or hitting a low level instance in search of a twink item whilst still making money.

I will seriously this week go and look at what is new on the AH and whats hot and whats not.

DELAYS!

Hey peeps

Sorry for the delay in posting but I have been hectically busy with work and my baby.

I will post updates asap.

All I can say is that it has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs as the markets are ruined by cheap sellers and idiotic buyers.

I have made a slight profit as I have lots of gold on my toons and even more, very slow moving stock in the AH.

What ive done since level 1

Just a short post to make people understand where my money has gone and that anyone can do this:

• I started a guild (didnt pay anyone to sign)
  
• Bought myself 11 netherweave bags for main toon and her bank slots.
  
• Bought main character 7 bank slots.
  
• Bought Bank Alt 5 Bank Slots and filled those with Mammoth Mining Bag, Enchanter's Satchel and 3 more netherweave bags.
  
• Bought Bank Alt 4 Netherweave bags for himself
  
• Bought the guild two bank tabs (100G for first and 250G for second, they helped with about 30G of those amounts)
• Got some of the best gear for my level 45 Mage, via buying specials in trade and questing
• Supplied Guild bank with +-50-100G worth of stock (mats, armor, weapons for all levels)
• all toons bank bags are 80-100% full of stock

By simply taking some time researching and reading I have made more money than the average lvl 40+.

By doing this I do not have any problems buying anything I need and getting the training needed to enable my mage to be as strong as she can be and thus be a beneficial member to groups/party's i find myself in. 

Updates Updates Updates... almost didnt make this one

Quite a long time since my last post I see... well thats due a good reason.

Taking some well deserved time off from the real world and having some more time to do house work and DIY + add some good hours to WOW without affecting my work performance.

So I chose to burn the night oil and level whilst using the early mornings when the server is least full to big on low markup items.

Now to put this into perspective. I cant remember all the numbers of how much gold I had on each day, but I can say that at a stage I had 450+ G in my bag, 70+- in the Guild Bank and about 50G on the AH.

First bit of bad news. After my last purchase of Eternal Belt Buckles (4 units) and the devil named Patch 3.1, the prices fell sharply with a lot of undercutting happening. Prices fell as low as 27G Bid and 30G BO (Buy Out). Now with two still up for sale this was a bit of a shocker and I eventually sold 1 of the 2 via direct advertising in the trade channel and spamming WTS ad's.

Sold for 40G, 1 left.

Also started looking into Frozen Orbs and Frostweave Bags and the prices range as follows:

Frozen Orb: 140Bid - 150-170G BO

Frostweave Bag: 79Bid - 90-100G BO

I was lucky this morning in bidding on a Frozen orb for 140G and 5 min later won the auction... (?) and immediatly advertised in TRADE for 150G, thus making a 10G profit in less than 5 minutes.

Frostweave bags are a different kettle of fish all together. Found a tailor who would make them for me as ,me being stupid, she offered to make them for 70G each which i misunderstood and then proceeded to buy her the materials for two bags 2x (60 Frostweave Cloth, 12 Infinite Dust and 2 Etherium Thread) so its a lot of mats. Mats came to approx +-190G and one bag sold for 95G and the other listed at the same price, so I will in essence make a 0G profit... more than likely a 3G loss with posting costs.

I have made some mistakes though with Adimantium and Arctic fur, although these sell really well, with my auctioneer not having enough data to give me accurate prices I bought these on whims and thus made either no money or a small loss.

Did find a few bargains though in terms of cheap armor which my ALT will now disenchant and some cheap ore, herbs and minerals which I have sold some of and keeping some for when the market starts to go up a bit more. (once all the 3.1 bugs are sorted)

On a lighter note, I have gained about 6-7 levels in the last week by seriously questing and doing dungeons (either with higher levels or same levels) so I finished Gnomeregan again, did Razorfen Downs, Scarlet Monestary, Mauradon, some other one starting with A and sounds like mauradon.

In these I made approx 50-60G just from that and selling the cheaper green drops.

Some Screenies!

Instances...

Well well well, the achievements are just popping up.

Started doing a bit more instances and thus started leveling up my gear quite decently as well as made lost more XP.

Tuesday I hit Deadmines with a level 80 and a level 20 and it went quick, picking up a lot of good items and making some copper from fallen enemies.

Tried it again directly afterwards with a full group featuring a level 24, me (21 at that stage), 17,16 (x2). This was hard as our tank was brilliant but a level 23 Druid and the other guys didnt know what their roles were thus the beginning was a bit sketchy with level 16's aggro'ing everything in site and getting the group killed numerous times. After about 35-45 min worth of play the level 17 druid left and it started going smoother. The level 16's stayed back and healed (Priest and Paladin) and myself and 23 Druid got to kicking some arse.

Was good and more items were had (Blue's and Greens)

So last night I get invited by the 23 Druid from the night before to do Gnomeregan (an instance in Dun Morogh (close to Ironforge) but he didnt pitch till late due to other party member being tardy. So i found a level 75 mage which agreed to take me through (even though I was too low level at 22).

We were joined by a level 28 hunter and his friendly Raptor pet and went off into the wild dark dungeon.

Needless to say, its HUGE and thus we got lost a few times, but using my skills as a navigator we made it to all the bosses and thus also got the Achievement and some great items.

Tips to newbies of instances:

• If you low level, stay back (even if you are a paladin and want to tank, you cant if your level is too low)
• Rolling Need/Greed: If you dont need it, pass. If you want it but its not a neccesity the roll greed. And if you the only i.e. Mage in the group using cloth and a cloth item comes up then roll need. Then only!
• Dont spend too much time looting, you hold everyone back if you in a high level group. Just love the free XP your getting.
• Try to assist if your shots keep missing. Heal, Buff and make sure your not getting flanked

 

Hitting my first 100G

Well with a bit of luck and lots of skill (!) I made my first 100G last night.

Selling quite a bit of mats which I bought from the Darkmoon Faire I easily made 60-80 G yesterday just on those and there is still about 40G waiting for me in the AH.

I then proceeded to buy myself 5 Netherweave Bags and buy a Bank Tab for the guild.

Total cost: 125 G (100G for Bank Tab and 25G for the bags.

I will be going back to the Fair tonight to go pick up more mats and special items.

Welcome (to me)

Well well well.

Decided to create this blog to help people like me starting out with wow.

A little history:

Played World of Warcraft on a private server housing at most 200 players at a single time and another 2800 players waiting to log in. This was free and mostly crap as it was very very buggy and there was not really a sence of it being the WOW that everyone was going on about.

Been playing games (mostly PC) for most of my life, so I know the lingo and thus will try and pass that knowledge onto you dear reader.

After a strangly not so long process of getting my ADSL (broadband) line installed in my new home I decided to start playing WOW on the real servers where I was told 19999 other people could be joining me at any time.

The rumors were right and I joined a EU server called Terokkar which is a PvE (player vs enviroment, this means you cant just be attacked by everybody and anybody, thats what PvP is for) server.

Now I have to add that I was doing a lot of research on which race, class and proffesions to take and read alot of text and guides, also watching quite a bit of youtube videos on what can and cant be done.

Now from the first time I playing World of Warcraft on the private/free servers I knew that money (gold) in game would play a very important role and thus decided to almost rival my race/class research with reseatch pertaining to making Gold and making LOTS of it.

This is where I think ill strike a niche: by helping low level players make their first gold easy and quick.
