Khorium Power Core, Adamantite Frames, Heavy Knothide Leather

Been Sellin All 3 of these as they are required for quests in Outlands.  These days there a lot more people trying to do Loremaster, so make sure to help them out by providing the quest items they need at vastly inflate prices. 
 
I Sell Khorium Power Cores for 125g.  You have 2 options here.  Craft it as an engineer, if you have 6 Khorium Ore and a Primal Fire or just go to See Quiff at Area 52.  If you camp here you can buy a premade one off her for under 5g!  this goblin also sells Adamantite Frame for 4g.  I also craft and sell these, because they are needed for the same quest as the Khorium Power Core as well as a very common pre-quest that opens up multiple chains of quests.  So these and the required sets of 4 Heavy Knothide Leather for the same quest do sell.  I set my stacks of 4 HKL at 25g and 1 Adamantite frame is 35g. 
 
Other easy sells for quest items are Advanced Targeting Dummy, Strong Troll's Blood Elixir, Deadly Blunderbuss, and many many more.

Am I A Cheater?

Since the WoW expansion is coming to an end, I have basically just been posting a few auctions here and there, running my weekly and daily quests for Frost Emblems and not much else.  Why?  I'm a little bored and don't see much point in trying to upgrade gear that will be trash in 2-3 months.  I have plenty of gold at this point and have been stocking up for Cataclysm.  Why this lack of activity though?  Boredom.  Just a little bored with WoW as there isn't much new to do.

So for the past week I have been fooling around on the side with another game, Dungeons & Dragons Online.  This game is very fun and is a great escape for a bit, while WoW is to that played out phase.  Anyone else that is bored is welcome to join me.  It is a free to play game now and you can acutally unlock all of the premium things if you play enough.  So anyone bored with WoW, stop by and give it a try.  DDO tends to be a little more "mature" environment than WoW.

Interested in grouping up in WoW?  Leave your server and character name here and I'll find you, if I can.

Happy Hunting!

PvP and Tank Plate

I had read on a fellow blogger's site a while back about how they always have a full set of Savage Saronite PvP gear on the auction house.  I decide to give it a whirl as I had been somewhat wanting to cater to the emerging market of PvPers, since many people are experimenting with PvP with the expansion coming to an end.  I now always have a full set of Savage Saronite Plate (DPS PvP Resilience Gear) on the AH from Thursday thru Monday.  I often am the only seller on my server, unless there is an odd piece or two tossed up by someone levelling blacksmithing.  Therefore, I set my prices at around 180-245g per set piece.  I usually sell a full set plus more pieces over each weekend.  Once in a while someone will buy the full set or close to it, which really makes a ton of profit once you see the mats are way way way lower than my sell prices.  So if you have a blacksmith, I highly recommend this.

I then took it a step further.  I decided to supplement Monday thru Thursday with selling a full set of Tempered Saronite Plate (+Def Tanking Gear) on the AH.  Many of these pieces sell as they are quick and easy ways to get the +Def to start tanking heroics.  Since the expansion is ending soon and people are trying new options, like tanking on dual spec, these sell well also.  There is a lot more competition since the mats requirements are super low and these are very common pieces to grind up skill, but that doesn't mean its not still profitable. 

One Item I also post that sells excellently is Daunting Handguards.  These Plate Tanking Guantlets are vastly superior to the Tempered Saronite Guantlets.  Usuable at the same level (78) but a higher item level, with 31 more armor, 2 more strength, 5 more stamina, and 5 more defense.  So these are a better slot item for new tanks.  These are IMO, the most reliable to buy cheap and flip.  Many times I see these on the AH for under 25g.  I bought out 4 of em for 8g each one night, from someone just dumping what he made while grinding skill...and easily flip them over a couple of days for 99g99s99c each.  I regularly sell these guantlets for 100g, which is uber profits from an item that takes just 12 Saronite Bars & 1 Eternal Earth.

And thanks to a tip I heard from Markco on either the Call to Auction or Castaclysm podcasts, I also sell Steel Plate Helms for 25-40g each on the AH to warriors and paladins that have just hit lvl 40 and are looking to get a plate helm.  Thanks Markco!

My question to the readers is this...

Have you seen reliable sales of any other pvp gear of a different armor type?

I would like to get into selling other PvP gear over weekends only, but don't want to waste good materials on an experiment.  Im thinking maybe DPS PvP Leather may be the second best seller to Rogues & Druids.

Anyone have success with PvP Leather, Cloth, or Mail sales?  What about PvP Healing Gear?

SPOTLIGHT:::Titanium Toolbox (Not Just For Engineers)

Titanium Toolbox is a 32 slot crafting bag that holds Engineering Crafting Items, but you may be suprised as to what all this thing can hold.  Almost any character can benefit from having one of these in the bank and anyone farming Eternals or Primals will love it.

Other than obvious engineering items and recipes, Titanium Toolbox also holds some things you may not expect.  These also can go into a Titanium Toolbox:

All Eternals (Life, Air, Water, Fire, Earth, Shadow)
All Crystallized

All Primals (Air, Mana, Earth, Fire, Water, Life, Shadow)
All Motes

All Essenses (Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Undeath, Living)

Primal Might
Primal Nether

Bloodvine
Flask of Mojo

Ichor of Undeath
Elemental Fire
Elemental Air
Elemental Earth
Heart of Fire

Make Extra Gold Tonight & Tommorrow

Why is that you ask? 

Tonight is the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby and tommorrow is the All Star Game. 

Super Bowl Sunday was a great money maker, due to the lack of competition as people are not in-game and are watching the big sporting event.  Make sure to post just before, during, and after these 2 events as history shows your competition will be lighter on these nights.  Many people won't even log in and will be glued to the tv all night.  So this is a good time to try to control markets for a couple of days and get extra profits.  Also less people on overall means better chances at winning bids you snipe tonight before server goes down for maintenance. 

Also be sure to post some 48 hr posts today that will not get eaten up by downtime black hole.  Having auctions that you post late tonight that will return and be up after the maintenance time will reap you major rewards as Tuesday Downtime + 48hr returning posts + MLB All Star Game stealing away competitors = a Chance for the Little Guy to be the Monopolist for a couple of days. 

Take head, plan ahead, and maximize profits!

PS::::GO NATIONAL LEAGUE!!!

Lhara

Previously I said camp a node while running randoms to get a quick hit between queues. Don't forget about Lhara at the darkmoon faire. Camp at her tent and grab some deals between runs as she sells herbs, leathers, BOEs, motes & crystals at stupid prices, 10g Arctic Fur stupid. So give Lhara some love too. Lhara's Goods

Weak Week

Sorry for the weak week of posts. Got 3 60hr weeks in a row and work has tightened the Banned Sites List & I can only get on my tunneler proxy on a couple computers and even then the restrictions limit me to tiny post volume. Hang in there, more goodies are in the works.

The Sunday Fail Pugs

If you are consistently doing the Raid Weekly for Frost Emblems, try to do it early in the week. Tuesdays and Wednesdays groups have a much greater success ratio. By Saturday, you are left with noobs, morons and the undergeared.

GDKP Deflowered

Did my first GDKP Raid in 25man ToC. Word of advise: Look for BOEs and bid on them. You will get money back at the end of te run, so don't be afraid to try for sellable drops. I won Cloak of the Untamed Predator, ilvl245 dps cloak for 800g. Sold within 24hrs for 1500g.

Importance of Patch Notes

Always read your patch notes and preferably know them, analyze them, and predict spikes in demand before the patch even goes live. Since the Ruby Sanctum Raid has went live on US servers, certain craftables should see an increase in sales and demand. Knowing your patch notes and what items are dropped by the new raid bosses, will help you to gain maximum profits.
Example: Halion drops Waist pieces. What does this mean? You can bet your ass that Belt Buckles will sell well immediately following the release. My server sees sales of around 32-45g per. On Tuesday Night the normally flooded supply was whittled down to just a few buckles. So I sold all mine for 75g a pop. Why? Preplanning, Forecasting, Understanding best times to get the most money. These are skills you practice and expound upon once you become a true AH player.

A New raid, with new boss drops USUALLY also means increased demand and raise in prices for: Enchants, Gems, Leg Armors, and other Item Enhancements, BUT look deeper into it. Halion drops NO Weapons and No Leg Slot Armor, so thinking you will get a spike in leg armor sales because of the new raid is just wrong. No Weapon drops means no big rush on high end weapon enchants. You should be focusing extra resources into enchants and item consumables that will go on the new drops, like belt buckles and enchants for what items are dropped.

Mainly Tank, DPS, and Heal chants for Feet.
Spellpower and Agi based DPS Chants for wrists.
Leather Caster Hand Chants.
Belt Buckles.

Then throw in factors like increased population online after a new patch and sales in others areas can explode as well, simply from more people being on this week looking to run the new raid. Now is the time to make a lot of profit while you can and unload some things that have been dropping in price, like Gems. Gem Prices have skyrocketted back up with the player population spike as well as the Raid items dropping with empty sockets.

All in all, read you patch notes, plan ahead, use your brain, and then enjoy the sound of that gold hitting your packs.

Happy Posting!

Future Heirlooms

Cata will introduce BoA items to new slots from guild craftables. I would start getting the rep and recipe drops to make BiS chants the new heirlooms.
Hands: +15 Agi, +16 SP, +10 Haste, +7 Str
Wrist: +15 SP, +9 Str, +9 Sta, +9 Spi
Feet: +7 Agi, +7 Sta, Minor Speed

Finally!

Found an alliance player that sold me a +30SP to wep Recipe for my chanter. Paid 8.5k for it thru the neutral AH. 8.5k is nothing, as I sold a scroll within seconds for 700g. So this recipe will pay for itself and then some. Been after it for 5 years! Yay!

Easy Neatherweave

If you are having trouble with stocking NW Cloth or just wanna make a quick buck head out to the Hellfire Peninsula side of the Dark Portal. All of the temporary mobs at the Glacial Templar summoning stone can drop NW Cloth and have a nice respawn timer, while being grouped together, for easy farming. Use an alt, get your 60mins 10% Kill XP Buff , then farm away. Bonus when your Faction Fire burns hot! Take advantage before they are gone.

Eternal Orb Exchange

Just found another great benefit of being an engineer. Engineers have the easiest time controlling the Frozen Orb > Eternal Echange Market. Frozo the Orb Exchanger is located right outside the Dalaran Engineering Building, which houses the Engineer Only Auction House Access in Dalaran. Also close by are the Anvil/Forge, Mailbox, and the Heavy Borean Leather to Arctic Fur Exchanger. The close proximity of both the Exchangers and the Auction House, make this an easy spot to search for Orbs then convert them into the more higher prices Eternal flavor of the night. This can also be done swapping heavy borean leathers as well.

So you do a search and see that Frozen Orbs are at 22g, and Eternal Life is at 36g and Eternal Fire is at 38g. What do you do?

Holiday Chants

Lord Ahune drops 1 of 5 cloaks each kill and the bag has a chance to give you the new vanity pet and/or the 2h staff in addition to the 2 Extra Frost Emblems. Yes I said "and"...My shadow priest got both the new pet and the staff out of her first bag ever and shes lvl 78. I know she will be sexy as hell with the Frostscythe in shadow form. What does all this mean for us on the AH?

You better put up some cloak enchant scrolls and keep em stocked all week. Many many many people will be gearing alts with the easy iLvl232 cloaks. And with the ability to run the holiday boss over and over until you get your cloak, you bet that a lot of new purple cloaks out there on alts are gonna need enchants. But which ones?

These are what I would stock (or stock extras):

Cloak Enchants:
Titanweave
Wisdom
Shadow Armor
+22 Agi
+23 Haste

And +81 SP to Staff for those lucky enought to get the Staff.

Also keep an eye out...the first crystal guardian/summoner guy drops new BOE blues. Don't be dumb and d/e em without checking.

Call for Questions / Comments

Got a gold making idea you would like to share? Wanna make a guest post? Got a story about how you are making gold or how this blog has helped you get started? I am looking for some gold related tips/stories/testimonials for future blog entries. Thanks in advance.

Best Holiday For Leveling Alts

Make sure to take advantage of this holiday. For 10 days you can fly around and touch fires for insane XP and gold along with 1hour 10% xp buffs at the flagpoles for extra monster kill XP as well. This is the perfect time to get those alts levels before cata starts. And the in town dailies are stupid easy and reward good gold. Make sure to grab all the ore/herb nodes as you fly around and make even more gold.
