No Shirt No Service

Mommar Here (Aren't you surprised????)

Each warcraft profession has multiple side businesses that they can delve into.   Sub professions that can be just as lucrative as regular posting of armor and weapons.

One of these comes out of the Tailoring profession with the demand specifically for crafting shirts.  They offer no armor value,  but they score high on the vanity list.   The patterns are picked up from multiple places.  Some are trained while leveling the profession,  others are either vendor sales or rare drops in specific areas.  

We're going to look at two specific ones to watch out for (there are multiple ones but these two tend to be highly prized).

Pattern: Rich Purple Silk Shirt is a rare world drop that is highly valued.   First the bad news,  it's very very expensive for someone to purchase this pattern.  Ranges from 3k all the way up to 25k are seen.   But every so often you will see it listed on the AH for cheaper,  be prepared to grab it at a moments notice (if you use Trade Skill Manager or Auctioneer add this pattern to your search list)

Pattern: Black Swashbuckler's Shirt is a much easier pattern to obtain.   The Vendor for this shirt pattern is Narkk in The Cape of Stranglethorn at coordinates 42,69 (inside the city).  It's a limited number pattern so if it isn't there when you first arrive,  wait for the pattern to reappear.

Other patterns of interest include

Tuxedo Shirt (Sold by Millie Gregorian in Undercity or Outfitter Eric in Ironforge)

Pink Mageweave (Sold by Borya or Lizna Goldweaver in Orgrimmar or Outfitter Eric in Ironforge)

Dark Silk Shirt  (Sold by Mallen Swain in Hillsbrad Foothills or Sheri Zipstitch in Duskwood

(Here is a link to the rest of the shirts that can be made:  Tailor Profession Crafted Shirts )

a 1 hour vendor run can net you the majority of this shirts to process and sell to others.   A few lucky breaks from listings on the auction house can net you a large amount of gold as well (most of the patterns are BOE so selling copies you have on the Auction House can add more gold to your scissors case)

This is one of the many side businesses you can build that specialize in low materials/high income depending on the demand on your server.   Shirts and by extension pants can be the money maker you're looking for to push you over the top.



Good Luck and Good Hoarding

And the hammer keeps falling from the Blizzard control center on "minor" changes with MOP.  The powers that be announced that pets caught in the "wild" would not be able to be traded or sold.  

The rest of the blurb did state that this could change in a future patch.   But it puts a big dent in the pet selling market.  This sets up that only pets that are purchased or crafted can be sold.  

It's understandable that Blizzard wants players to explore for their pets instead of just sitting around the Auction House and buying rare or extremely rare pets.  But those that were looking for big gold in selling the rare pets are scratching their head over what plans to make.

Preaching to my eyes have turned blue,  the home run theory of making gold isn't as successful as working on a production line mentality.   So planning ahead on what purchased/craftable pets will be popular.  Deciding whether buying and training pets will still be a viable way to make gold.

Blizzard will probably loosen the leash on wild pets,  once exploration and leveling begins to settle down (Probably patch 5.2 or so).   Think of this similar to when orbs have always started off as being BOP,  then switching to BOE later on.   This gives the player that explores and levels an advantage over players who crafters just sit in cities to generate revenue.

Pets such as the White Kitten in Stormwind or the Golden Dragonhawk Hatchling are good options to sell to the opposing faction.   The key will be finding the niche that players are not selling.  Even if it's the lowly cockroach from Undercity.  

These aren't new techniques,   they have been repeated time and time again.  But their important in pet selling market has just increased.  Even leveling a new purchased pet to level 5 can increase their selling price.   The balance is between how much time is spent to level and the selling price.

Mental or even physical recordkeeping will help you determine the true value of selling a pet.  And whether the selling of pets will ultimately be worth the effort.   Don't be afraid to just work on your own collection for now and deal with other avenues of sales.   Pet selling could easily become the new inscription when it comes to sales.   

Good Luck and Good Hunting
