Report: Week 5&6

Two weeks ago Gevlon made a post about his pricing method on glyphs and it actually made perfect sense to me. I've decided to try it out. Two weeks passed and I can tell now: it haven't really worked for me at all. Posting for 48 hours didn't work well, no one left the market, there is even 500 glyphs more on AH now. I was selling about 150-200 glyphs total each two days, which is about 800g with 4g medium glyph price. Maybe I did something wrong or it just takes more time than two weeks.

Yes, maybe the gold/hr ratio was great but I don't really understand how gold/hr matters. It's a good number to check how you are spending your time, but imagine a quest in Dalaran that requires you to run from one end to another and gives 100g but you can do it only once in two days. Thats 100g/10s = 36000g/hr! But that definitely won't make you gold capped.

Week 5:

Week 6:

No profit at all during week 5, and 3k during week 6, and thats when I did GDKP runs and sold some BoE items.

I spend a lot of time in game anyway and I actually like to hang out around AH so I switched back to QA2. 2g threshold, 59g fallback, 1c undercuts and canceling/reposting 2-3 times a day. Just yesterday on Monday this made me 5200g.

Also, why no one told me about QA2 craft queue! The tool is just great to see what glyphs you need to restock and to, actually, restock. It is a bit slower than KTQ, but faster than mouse-overing every single glyph. It can't auto buy mats from vendor like Skillet, but it's not really a big problem too. Only real downside can be that it doesn't count glyphs in your bank, guild bank or another character, but again it's not a problem for me.

And two gold related pics from WoW Bash I found quite funny:

QA Craft Queue

Can't figure out how craft queue works in QA2. I choose items I want to craft in summary window, then click on
"Show craft queue" but nothing is happening. /qa tradeskill doesn't work too.

Maybe I need some other addon to make it work?

Disenchanting in 3.3 // Report: Week 4

First of all, this post was supposed to be on Monday. Something went wrong there. Second of all, Blizzard fixed/changed group disenchanintg. You do need an enchanter with proper skill in group to use it.

While it's not as bad as it was, but still. Personally I don't volunteer to disenchant loot in pugs. If some random asks you to DE stuff for him for free, would you do it? I know I won't. And also green items, even if you got enchanter in group, greens were greeded by everyone. Non enchanters usually just vendor those or put on AH.

As for "weekly" report:

Things are going okay, crossed 20k line by the end of weekend. Been logging only once per day on my scribe to check undercuts and craft glyphs. With Darkmoon start all herbs are gone from the AH, I don't really understand why. If this won't change in 3-4 days, I will run out of the ink. My herb supplier said that he will stop farming for some time, since he doesn't need more gold at this moment. Tried to contact other mass sellers but no luck so far.

With that amount of gold in my bags I think I'm going to try to do something with glyphs on AH, will post about it later in the week.

Not much else happened really, I did GDKP Naxx-25 run though on Saturday, but I will post about it in few days.

Report: Week 3

Past week I've been working on leveling JC for my druid to swap it with Alchemy. Only sorted vanilla materials so far, but I guess that was the hardest part. And also leveled Alchemy on my priest, so I can still have access to transmutes. Had to farm everything myself, on AH old world materials are ridiculously expensive, even herbs. I sworn to myself never to farm ever again in Azeroth.

Glyphs continue to sell, vellums and runescrolls go like candies, so do off-hands. During weekend glyphs sell like crazy.

Week profit: 5011g

Hard to tell now how much I get from Inscription, since I don't buy herbs from AH anymore.

Also I've got two Nobles Decks waiting for Darkmoon and tons of enchanting materials, going to sell them as scrolls.

On other unrelated news:

Anub'arak finally died last night. Would be dead week or two ago if not our lagfest realm. Impossible to play at all during prime time. As a person who likes challenging PvE I'm quite satisfied how ToC turned out. Didn't expect it to be that interesting when it was released.

Disenchanting in 3.3

Went on PTR tonight to test a new loot option, rolling for disenchanting. This is how the roll window looks:

Results:

We did get some weird Dust and number 2, guess it's a bit buggy at the moment.

The priority is: Need > Greed/Disenchant > Pass. For example, if you roll DE on item and others roll Greed, game performs normal Greed roll. If you win you will get mats, if others win they will get the item.

No, you (or anyone else in the group) don't need to be an enchanter to be able to use disenchanting option. Yes, the game will DE the items for you. If master looter is on you can't DE the loot.

I don't like this at all, not really fair to enchanters, since we had to level up the skill to be able to disenchant items. Can we get to roll on ores and herbs collected while in group too then?

So, what does it tell us? There will be huge a supply of enchanting materials, therefor prices will go down I would imagine. Also, less greens on AH that we could buy and DE for profit.

Oh, and if you aren't enchanter it can be useful to always be in group while questing/grinding/leveling, so you can get dust/essence whenever a green drops.

3.3 Glyphs

Was there actually any information that new glyphs will be discovered via Mastery Books? Currently on PTR techniques teach how to create them.

This doesn't mean they won't be available from books, but it is a bit weird. I mean, why didn't they just add glyphs themselves to class vendors?

The Goal

Like most of you I'm planning to reach the gold cap which is my ultimate goal. But let's break it down into few steps:

First step is 10.000g. This assures I don't have to do dailies or any kind of grinding anymore. I hate those activities and I hated even more the idea that it was the only way to make gold. Almost there, just few hundreds is missing.

Second step is 25.000g. First, I can spend some gold on my alt needs. Epic flyer, dual spec, good gems and enchants. And second, with such amount I can easily do some serious investing into AH.

Third step is 100.000g. This is a good amount to be able to spend gold on vanity. Speaking of vanity, I don't think it's stupid thing to spend gold on. Yes, if you have 20.000g and you buy chopper, this is pretty stupid. But I don't see anything bad about spending 15k when you actually have 100k in your bags. But this close to next expansion I'll try to hold myself.

Last step is 200.000g. I want to go with that number into next expansion. Unlike with in WotLK, when I had about 2.000g, I will be able to just forget about gold and focus on everything else.

So there is a lot of work to do, let's see how it will turn out.
