Throwback gear in 4.3 actually breathes new life into throwback gold-making opportunities for experienced players.  The ol' Hand of A'dal vials model for gold-making can be resurrected immediately, and GDKP runs have a new reason for pulling buyers into raids.  Follow us after the jump and start thinking out of the box and applying a gold value to actual bosses, rather than to items.

METHODOLOGY:
1) With personalization becoming so valuable in 4.3 with transmogrification, I'm predicting we'll see over time that a player's ability to stand out among their peers will likely become highly desirable.  So what can we do from a BoE seller's standpoint?  The answer is rather than wait to see what's unique, let's analyze it ahead of time and plan ahead.
2) Since this was an exercise for gold making, I've focused only on BoEs.
3 I've targeted Rare and Epic quality items, since I'm not sure about greens for transmogrification.


I pulled together the BoE 2H Axes for an analysis last night, this is what I came up with.  First off, a summary for the TLDR audience:

Based on my analysis, the 2H Axe market could yield a couple of gems.  I didn't push to 5, because there's that much of a gap between these 3 and the rest of their peers. Read on after the jump to find out my top 3 recommended BoE 2H Axes to target/craft for resale to moggers.

So I did a little perusing of the Shields category, and this is what I came up with.  First off, a summary for the TLDR audience:

The market for BoE Shields for transmogrification is going to be slim.  Find my recommended top 5 BoE Shields to target/craft for resale for transmogrification after the jump.

Engineering isn't generally known for being a gold-making power house but I love the profession. My hunter has been an engineer for the last 6 years. I've stuck-by Engineering through thick and thin (long-time engineers will know what I mean) .

Because I love it so much I've never questioned keeping it as a profession. Finding ways to make reliable gold with engineering though has at times been a challenge. After the jump I go over a few things things I've found to be consistent engineering gold-makers in Patch 4.2.

Today we have a long-form video (40 mins) in which I go through my daily Alchemy and Jewelcrafting routines. I also do some mailing and auction housing. The fact that my daily routine took around 50+ minutes was quite a revelation to me.

(The video length was an experiment in using a longer video format. At 40 minutes it ended up being somewhere between a video and a podcast.)

Talking Points

• What do you do for your daily routine?
• What do you think of the longer-format video?
• What would you like to see featured in a future video?

Northrend: Still cold!

While listening to the JMTC meeting one thing that caught my ear was the fact that on a few servers the price for Frostweave Cloth as well as Infinite Dust was quite high.

This makes me wonder if it is time to start looking into making gold by looking back to Northrend. If so what should we be looking? It might be time to dust off a few old LK gold making tricks.
