48 hour aftermath

Well this time 2 days ago i had loged on as soon as servers were up and was ready to post.


Above is the starting cash i had, Refer to this link below as to what my items were pre-patch.
Yes i did have a few more but you get the idea.


Well iv loved these explosive sales, somthing i havnt had before.

A few kinda of but not as related stories.

First was yesterday, someone selling the Toad pet patten was advertising in trade, i instantly sent a 700g offer, he accepted. I said to come to UC. He then said that he would advetise a little longer and see if he could get a better offer, he did, 850g. I said i pay 900, i was readded to group with another fella there. He said to do a /roll and the highest he would sell to. The other guy rolled a 80 or somthing but i decided to roll 1-10000000 to be sure to win (allmost sure), i sated that i had rolled higher and had won, and that a deal was a deal, for the second time. He then said that he was just going to sell to the other guy, so i offered 1000g, the result was that the other guy was kicked. I told him to wait where he was as i logged over, i wispered him and made him wait a few mins as i pissed about on the AH. This is what followed:

I was glad i nocked 300g off the price, this is what i was hoping would happen from the moment i offered 1k. What do you think of this fella?
sucker...

edit: turns out it was my mate quitting thanks Sal!!

The second thing happened an hour ago, i woke up to a full mailbox, well 30 crates full of runecloth, from some unknown person in my mail, this was a total of 6000 cloth, a good 300 stacks! They wernt CoD'd there was no message, they were just there. So i mailed them off to sit in an alts mailbox for the mean time. What do you think? It's over 1kg worth of cloth, should i send it back or just keep it?

Just a pic of my rogues 80 moment:

3.3.3 hitting

Quick note/update just to get the info out there, 3.3.3 is hitting get ready its going to be busy.

Honour options

As 3.3.3 draws closer people are thinking more and more about the up coming changes.

Edit: I belive that tokens will only be worth 185 honour each, this means I will be saving all for a later date. I also think that this makes 'farming' them totaly not worth it.


The changes to honour include marks of honour being able to be traded in for 2000 honour points, as marks a being phased out. So this is going to cause a huge spike of honour, so how will you spend you honour?

1. Trade in your marks, then spend your points on epic gems to sell. This will be by far the most commen of the random Joe who learns he can make a quick buck.

2. Spend your marks, then useing your honour on pvp gear for either fun or to start an area team.

3. Save your marks to turn in for the next arena season.

4. Save you marks for cataclysm and spend on gear or on gems for a more profitable outcome.

Remember that honour marks may not be able to be changed for the ammount of 2000, it is rumered that it won't be this much. I'm not sure what to belive about this for the moment.

So what am I going to do? I'v decided that I'm not going to send time farming these marks, but I will do a combo of options 1 and 4. I will use all marks on any alts like my twink rogue and all other alts on gems while keeping marks on my 80s for a later date.

This will be the case aslong as the trade in of marks to honour is sole-bound, if they are able to be traded in for an item (boa) then all marks will be traded and the honour stored.

Ps still on holaday just found some free wifi.

Back to barrens chat.

Well I'm at 19k gold and I'm pleased that my ammo selling had taken over.

I have made about 3k gold since I mentioned getting my other friend on board, currently sold 7 stacks of eternal shadow worth so about 700, a bit less than. I have found that the racio of hunters with guns to bows is about 1:7 as I sell a huge ammount more arrows than rounds, what do you find? I may be able to pull in 2-3k every week at most from this busseness, and that's amazing for a small 3k gold investment and 10mins a day.

I haven't set up my glyph bussness yet but my plan is to post glyphs that no one else is posting and make most profits that way rather than post offten to undercut, that dosnt mean I'm not going to post high compertsion glyphs, just I won't undercut as offten. Also planning, as I have tested and found it to work well, to only post glyphs with a higher thresh hold, fighting over silver is not my plan, so I am upping my thesh hold to 5-10g from crafting price + 20s.

I finaly got my rogue to 80 last Friday, I was very pleased as I had said for a long time that "i'd never have more than one 80" but I supose it's where you put your time, making gold or leveling, doing dailys or pvp an mmo is a time reward game. For now I plan on having two 80 toons but way down the track my new toon may be there, my Druid. But for the mean time I have heroic-feaver for my rogue and Chuck Norris jokes for my Druid.

I really really don't want 3.3.3 to hit tomorrow, I'm going away and won't be back till Monday and so if it hits I don't get the upperhand, from news so far it dose not look like it will.

For a bit of fun leave a comment with your best Chuck Norris joke:

"Chuck Noris once went to the virgin islands, now there just called the islands."

The ink just hit the fan

Well I'm blue, and I don't love jessicia anymore.



I now have about 4400 ink of the sea. Rarther alot, and as I mentioned I was going to sell it to my mate and for it to be turned into rogues decks for his darkmoon fair reputation for the insane title. We were going to use my friend jessicia to trade then inks to lower forms in dal. We had done all the math and had it sorted down cost per card, ink prices, reputation gained, everything or so we thought...

The first mistake was buying and milling the herbs before checking everything. Hey I normly would go to the vender and check it out but since it was in dal, well my pc isn't built for that. I know it's a week excuse but it is my reason.

Not checking that both inks could be traded was my blunder, was lead to belive that jessicia sold all inks for one ink of the sea. Turns out she dosnt sell the rare inks.

The second made by my friend, the rogues decks themselves give 25 rep each, not 75 as he had read. Lucky the inks couldn't be traded at all because this would been a deal breaker and the shit would really have hit the fan.

Ok so this is one of those times I'll look back on and see my mistakes and learn to not be lazy and put off going through a bit of tight lag.

So what is my plan for now? Good question, what to do with 4.4k ink of the sea, and 500 snowfall ink for that matter. Well I'm taking ideas from you. My current plans are these:

Make a good chunk into valumes
Give my glyph bussness a makeover and finally get my shut togeather and go addon crazy
Make more epic offhands on the shelves
Restock my fort scroll collection
No darkmoon cards, for now

Any other ideas?

Pictures

Well iv orgznised my mail that was all stacked up on one toon, i feel i am now "full" and will stop buying and start selling.













These pic's do not include another 150-200 stacks of icethorn and other herbs that were sent to be milled and are just in mail waiting.
So dose this match your stock piles?

Edit: one bank tab from spler is missing, it's just has another 98 stacks of lichbloom.

Three developments

Well I went on a two trip but now I'm back and ready to roll.

My gold is about 15k and for the time it's staying at that, gold made is covering gold spent on items for 333. A few interesting devlopments have happened:

The first is that another of my friends have reached the honoured mark and can now buy the iceblade arrow patten. I offered him the same offer as my other friend, I get the premordial saronite for him and he will make me arrows when ever need them.
He took the offer and production of arrows will start soon. I had enough frost badges so I traded another 23 frosties for a saronite.

The second was a friend who has been grinding out for the insane title, has moved onto the darkmoon fair and requires 500 rougues decks, this is where I come in, useing my stock piles of herbs and ink I'm going to get him the decks, he's getting money while I'm getting herbs to do this, I'm going to use jessicia to turn my high end herbs into the lower level inks. He's looking to spend 15k on this, I'll take a few thousand cut, but I'll make alot of snowfall ink out of this. Need around 3000 ink of the sea more.

Finaly badspler has finaly learnt every glyph learnable from daily creation, though I won't be into the major glyph market for now, because I will be stockpileing ink of the sea for my mate.

In other news my rouge is now 78 and nearying to 80 hopefuly by next week. Also Im clearing out my much stacked mail to give some pics of what I have stored.
