Throwing Rocks At Pets

Mommar here.

Patch 5.1 is on the horizon,  and it brings a new wrinkle to the pet battle game.  

With the new patch there are stones that will be dropping from wild pets and pet tamers that will allow you to upgrade pets.  Many of the are BoP so won't be able to be resold (though the upgraded pets will be able to be upgraded).

The stone that should be looked at for investment purposes is the Flawless Battle Stones.   These are the only stones that are being added into the game that are BOE.   Their investment potential is going to be based on three different criteria.

1.   Strength of Pet Battles on the Server.

Just like investing in PVP or PVE items for resell.   A server has to have a strong pet battle scene to be healthy.   The best way to look at this is at http://www.wowprogress.com and see where your server ranks.  If your server is weak on pet battles,  then the sales opportunities for Flawless Battle Stones will be low.

2.   Cost and rarity of stones

Even in a healthy pet battle scene on a server,  some players are stingy on reselling items.   This will be the first item other than caged pets that will be available for sales on the open market.  Players might want to hold onto them and see just where the market lies.  Or instead of sales,  use the stones to strengthen their own pet army.

3.   Auction house issues.

Many of the auction addons had difficulty handling caged pets.   This had to do mostly with the way that Blizzard tagged the cages to be different that the uncaged pets for sale.   It is possible that with this stone there may be issues of listing or buying them.  So be prepared to update your addons as quick as possible or even look to buy and sell these and other items sans addons.

This will be a good opportunity to get a piece of the pet battle pie.   Upgrading gear has always been a part of Warcraft,   and upgrading your sales will put more gold in your goblin pocket.

I am one of those people that do not need the best of computers to play games.    Listing my priorities when it comes to gaming as being one below the possibility of a good fine wine.  Not something that I really need,  but something that I should get at some point.

Finally last week my computer decided it was done with my wicked money grubbing ways and gave up the spirit.  That left me with looking for a new computer that would run World of Warcraft at a decent frame rate (highest I ever pushed before was 9 fps on a good day).   So after ordering my computer and loading it up with the software I use (including the full download of Warcraft,  20gb download really?)  I jumped into Azeroth full force in it's stunning color soaked glory.

The interesting thing I found is that many of my addons worked quicker than they had before.   My Marketwatch addon didn't have as much lag when it was doing it's searches.   Auctioneer did what seemed like a quicker search for goodies that I could flip.   And less leg getting from the AH to the bank always helps in the long run.

Which made me wonder,  just how much could I upgrade my sales goals?   Was I squeaking out as much profit as I could out of items.   While still keeping my belief system intact.   Have I been putting up all the different auctions I could to make profit from?   Or had some auction areas dropped the wayside when the market become overcrowded.  

When your working on your next marketing strategy for massive gold making.   Do you look at how to squeak out the most from your current auctions.  Skipping over the idea that adding one or two items could bring your marketing and profits to a higher level.

Would upgrading your crafting cartel by leveling up another toon with a second alchemist,  or a 2nd jewelcrafter be useful in the long run?   

Hopefully you are always looking to upgrade your good making skills everyday.

Good luck and good hunting.
