A solid post! Good ideas in here that i can return to from time to time when i get bored or lack new ideas. This is a blog post response (no joke! ^^). It means that you sparked some good thoughts, Jokinee!<br /><br />I'm having a break from the 'regular' game and grind except the AH, so all my online time is spent doing something gold related. I started using my enchanter very aggressively last week, using him to repost mats at higher costs and if they're cheap or few, i buy them out and reset the prices. I do similar stuff with Primals, Volatiles (started a few days ago, since prices started rising) and to a lesser extent with Eternals. Sometimes i'm too greedy with the pricing, but other times i've sold alot more than expected, so it's all good. Selling crafted JC rares also yields extra gold. They usually go for 180-280g with the odd 490g cause of another guy who sets that price and i sell 6-18 every week. Might be more.<br /><br />I wouldn't want to be a new player with the current inflation that exists to be honest. It's taken me 5 months to triple the gold i had Pre cata. Making gold is too easy now, so i'm contemplating raising my goal from 1 million to 3 or even 10, just to have a better challenge. Made 150k since last week when i shuffled the 18k ore i had. That's just too much gold, even for me. The ore has dried up and when they were cheap it was a 40:1 ratio of Elementium to Obsidium, but the profit margins were still good enough seeing how my net worth has increased. Whether the shuffle gets nerfed or not i'm pretty sure that making gold will be easy for the rest of this expansion. Bars can be sold for a nice profit so i'm doing that too and keeping track of the cobalt market has worked out nicely in the long run.<br /><br />My reaction to the supposed shuffle nerf has been diversifying alot more. I've started to get more active with glyphs again since i've had a ready made stock of all glyphs that i've been posting since mid LK. I'm seeing more sales there, since i undercut a few more times per day and i started posting them in ones which really is another time saver. I rarely craft any new ones, since i the glyph wars in LK were so intense, but i will this weekend since i milled alot of herbs that i had filled my guild banks with, in case i'd want 1 or 2 alchemists. Thinking about dropping Tailoring and going Alchemy on my main, but i've been holding it off cause i used to love making bags although i'm pretty sure that i never will max tailoring out simply cause i can't see any reasons to. If i need things crafted i'll just pay someone a fee, save the levelling costs and still make profit. I'll use this strategy for BS and LW as well (which are the profs i don't have), as i increase the number of markets i get into, depending on how the other markets are affected, post patch 4.1.<br /><br />Few people might be following you for now, Jokinee, but the ones that do appreciate it alot.<br /><br />Keep doing your thing and have fun!<br /><br />P.S. I really love the fact that FLux brought you in after your conversations on Skype. You both bring a vibe that i really dig.GrayzBDFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791503783873797617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-25231467524239462592011-04-22T06:41:42.363-06:002011-04-22T06:41:42.363-06:00@Valmonde
thank you. Take multiple low level her...@Valmonde <br /><br />thank you. Take multiple low level herb, ore, bar and cloth markets and check the prices everyday. You are not gonna post everything every day but if you check the value which they have at the time each day you log in. You are gonna make huge amounts of profit with it.Jokinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528818193119362219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834740262840749354.post-583935710939010152011-04-21T23:00:48.184-06:002011-04-21T23:00:48.184-06:00Jokinee,

But it can be time-consuming to learn markets. Thanks for some fresh ideas and expanding the pool to other mats. I really enjoy your podcast, especially that you take the time you need to develop your ideas. Keep up the great work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
