Patch 4.2 Profession Recipes

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

12 comments View Comments

Last night while I was skimming through the forums, and other sites when I came along something very interesting. I found a blue post saying that patch 4.2 would indeed bring new raid recipes. I instantly thought that's awesome! Time to start preparing for that!

• There will be epic recipies drops for all the usual professions.

So how exactly do you prepare? Personally I'd grab whatever materials I could and slowly but surely build a stockpile things such as volatiles, leathers, cloth and such. I was going to suggest stockpiling Chaos Orbs but the more I thought about it, It wouldn't be worth it. Blizzard is going to add ( I think it was already data mined ) a new type of "orb" that will either drop in heroics or purely from the new Firelands raid.

If you're a tailor, be sure that you're making that dreamcloth every cooldown. if you haven't been making them, start doing so again. it's safe to say that the new patterns will use dreamcloth in the recipe thus stockpiling dreamcloth will be wise. Any other profession, I'd stockpile raw materials. It'd be too risky to stockpile anything else. You'll want to keep them in their "raw" form to allow flexibility.

Also, you could be able to pick some of them up from the new daily quest hub location. I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard put a rep restriction on the patterns, they've done it before and I don't see why they wouldn't do it again ( think ICC ).

What are your thought about stockpiling materials for the new raid/tier recipes? Is it too early?

What would you do if you reached the cap?

Prncesspwn's AH
Since being on this quest for gold capped, I've always knew what I was gonna do when I get gold-capped. I've always said I'm gonna buy every mount in the game & every pet I can find. Since I'm a pet and mount collector this makes since for me, because before I seriously considered collecting serious amounts of gold, I couldn't finish my 100 mount achievement, because I never had enough money to get the last 6 mounts I need.

Bangkok Bill's World of Goldcraft
Well the basic answer to that is easy. I'll set aside 100k to spend on any doodads that I want and then use the rest to speed me on my way to two million gold. The thing I haven't decided is how risk averse I will be in my path to two million gold. I could use the 900k in a relatively safe manner - sticking to whatever tried and true tricks of the goldmaking trade are profitable at the time.

Auction House Addict
Well, I would really like the 100 mount achievement so I guess I'll buy mounts to make up that total & also the pet achieves. I still haven't bought a chopper or the traveler's tundra mammoth so I guess I'd have to allow myself those luxuries but whether I splash out for all my level 85's or just for 1 or 2, I don't know yet. I suppose I should treat my ever suffering husband to something special & probably a few of my closest guildies too but I don't quite know what yet!

Player Vs Auction House
If you have been using Auditor for any length of time, there is feature of it that is useless 99% of the time, but this happens to fall under the 1%: total audit. The release of 4.0 broke most of my addons beyond repair, so this is only since Cataclysm was released. I broke the 400k mark for the first time a few days ago, but nearly 2 million gold has whipped through my bags in the last five months. Does that not count? Why do I say "I've broken the 400k mark for the first time?"

The Gold Queen
Hey guys, ever really really been attracted to a gorgeous girl (or guy) and flirted your heart out, and been slightly disappointed when she turned out to be a big pushover? Ever been back to an old dungeon in World of Warcraft, like Scarlet Monastery or Molten Core, and remembered how difficult the pulls were, how hard it was to complete and then felt a bit mellow to discover those bosses you worked on for so long were now just a walk in the park.

Dark Tuesday
To actually hit the gold cap, and then spend the gold, I’d have to stop doing half of what I love most… spending gold.  The other half is making gold.  Spending gold at that level presents an actual challenge if you’ve been buying up the gold sink items all along the way. I and my friends have the choppers and the Tundra Mammoth and every other (normal) gold sink there is.

Capped By Cata
This one is quite an interesting question. What would you do if you hit the new Gold Cap? Well, I don't really think a lot would change. Other then that fact I would spend my way back down. The original Gold Cap of 214k had sort of a nostalgia factor, while this newly imposed cap doesn't feel quite the same to me. Anyway, I think my goals would stay the same. I would still look for the newest ways to make Gold. Focus on consistency overtime, and continue to develop the content I bring to you guys.

Just My Two Copper
Personally I think this is a great topic that bloggers can write about. I'm almost at 600k, what would I do with my million gold? Trading Card Game mounts for one, I've had my eye on a swift spectral tiger for a while, and a mottled drake & a riding turtle wouldn't hurt. I'd also probably buy a couple achievements/mounts that are obtained through raiding, mainly Invincible and Mimiron's head. I'd also probably hand out some gifts to my friends, mainly choppers and sandstone drakes.

Xander's Gold Mine
Well I already have a hard time keep a hold of the gold I do have. But my problem is not spending it on vanity items its spending it to make more. But if I was to have a million I wouldn’t stop anything I am currently doing right now I would still be making gold. But I would also be able to buy whatever the hell I wanted. Be it armor, pets, mounts. I think when I reach the 1,000,000 gold. My quest to obtain every mount possible in game will be able to be put into action.

WoW or Gold
With 1 million (currently sitting at 800k+) gold at my disposal i'll be happy about having reached my goal. It will feel like a good accomplishment after all these years of auctioneering and learning about gold making. When i've reached my first million i'll pat myself on the back and say "job well done!". After that i'll set my aim on the next big WoW goal. That goal will either be a gold related goal, ie. accumulating 3 million gold or it could be a gaming related goal like levelling Alliance Grayz to 85, get active with PvP or even PvE on my main (level 85 Hunter).

Alto's Goldish Advice
Well, most of you know I am capped. Been that way for a while now. I guess the thing that I see the most is folks say they will purchase "this, this, and this" when they get there. The drag is, I gotta call bullshit on that. Your spending will follow the same you do now. Let me rephrase, if you blow your gold now (no, not that way xander...) you will continue to do so. If you spend very little, keep your gold close to you, then you will cap and then some.

That's all for this month folks! An excellent set of submissions from the blogosphere, be sure to drop by and leave a comment or two on their blogs! Also be sure to check out the past JMTC Blogging Carnivals for even more great stuff to read!

Children's Week & 4.1 Achievements

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

3 comments View Comments

Morning Folks! I was originally going to write a post on children's week but I've decided not to do so. There are multiple other blogs which have already cover the topic and I don't really want to over saturate the event/gold making opportunity. Instead of making a post head over the The Gold Queen's blog and read her post on how you could be making gold from Children's Week. It's a well written in-depth post that shouldn't go un-noticed.

Any who, as most of you know patch 4.1 has dropped and it's been out for a couple days now. The patch brought a couple achievements that can and are currently making me a killing. I'm going to list the new achievements and explain what you could be doing to make gold off them.

Cataclysmically Delicious
 This achievement requires people to eat one of every cataclysm food. People are actually starting to take notice of this achievement and are buying the foods off the AH. Some of them can be crafted for a couple silver and listed for 10-25g per. The profits here are immense and the competition can range from low-high as not everyone will have every single cooking recipe. Definitely give this a try.

Drown Your Sorrows
Another awesome achievement that you can make gold off. It requires you to eat some pretty silly/weird stuff that can be crafted for a couple silver yet they sell at the AH four several gold pieces. Some of the items are also drops off mobs and other are vendor bought so if you don't have the recipes at least go out and buy some of the vendor bought stuff and or kill some mobs and list the materials at the AH.

You'll Feel Right As Rain
This achievement is rather interesting and simply awesome for making gold. It requires you to eat 91 Chocolate cookies in order to obtain the achievement. The recipe is obtained by turning in three Stormwind chef's awards. Profit off this achievements are simply HUGE as the materials are vendor bought and they cost almost nothing. I would get into this market asap before it gets flooded.

100 & 125 Pet Achievements
Another recently added achievement. Quite obvious to be quite frank. People will be buying pets like no tomorrow. Remember how I told you to stockpile elementium geodes? Well the price on my server jumped from 200-300g to 800-900g. Pets are in high demand right now. Be sure to check the prices of the newly added pet; Winterspring Cub. It is obtained in winterspring and is sold by a vendor for 50g.

Sandstone Drake Achievement
A long awaited achievement that was again added in patch 4.1. You could see a small spike in the demand for this mount as people will buy it solely for the achievement ( the achivies hunters ). Use your bartering perk and possibly goblin racial to reduce costs and craft for normal/high and sell the mount for tremendous profits.

That's all for now folks! 5 brand spanking new achievements that you can use to make gold from! What are you waiting for? Go get into these markets before they're flooded!

Profiting Off Leatherworking Bracers

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

I got an interesting e-mail yesterday that pointed out something that I think you guys should note, especially the leatherworkers out there. Read the e-mail below:

" Hey Markco & Mageshadow,

Just thought I'd give you a shout.. I know LW isn't a traditional heavy-hitter in the gold making business, but I just got started and already had a max level LW.

Here's a quick tip.. Hunters have almost no good Rare bracers options, and with ilvl 346 requirements for the new dungeons, they're definitely selling extremely well on my server. Roughly 300g to craft and selling for 800-1200g. Don't know if it is only a trend on my server or not, but I thought I'd pass it along. "

- Matt


An excellent tip. Like Matt said, hunters don't have many good starting bracer items, there are only a couple and they're very hard to obtain. With the recently release of the new ZA & ZG heroics people will want to "boost" their Ilvl as high as possible and since there isn't a real boost for Hunters... they resort to using the ilvl 346 leatherworking bracers ( Bloodied Wyrmhide Bracers &  Bloodied Leather Bracers & Bloodied Dragonscale Bracers - ilvl 339 ). Thanks for excellent tip Matt!


Do you know of any other items that sell well because they isn't good pre-raid gear? If So what items? Drop a comment below!

Well folks, I just wanted to get this post out there. Tonight's JMTC weekly meeting is cancelled. I sadly won't be able to make it again due to a family illness. I'm going up north ( To my mothers home ) and I won't be back until Sunday-ish. I apologize for not being able to attend the last two meetings, but family comes first. If you guys still want to drop by the Teamspeak and chat with others users you're welcome to, but most likely there won't be many people there & I don't expect the gold gurus to show up ( they might, who knows ). I'll leave the TS server info below in any case.

Teamspeak Server Info:
Server: ts.isimba.org
Port: 9987


Also, to you bloggers out there don't forget about the JMTC blogging carnival - The topic was posted a couple weeks back and the blogging carnival was also updated at the same time. You've got three or four days to write up your post if you wish to participate. The topic for this blogging carnival is " What will you do once you reach the gold cap? How would you spend it? ". Read on what I would do with my million gold at this link.

Well that's all folks, have a great weekend and I hope all of you stay safe out there!

One Of My Favorite Niche Items To Sell

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

1 comments View Comments

If you guys should know something about me it's that I simply love niche markets, they're great ways to make gold and almost every single item/market always has great profit margins and generally low competition. I've been selling this item since the start of Wrath; ever since I found out about it. It's a great item that sells well at the auction house when it's barked for and it is crafted by inscription. Can you guess what the item is? It's not Mysterious Fortune cards.

I'll give you another hint, the recipe is BOP and requires a couple minutes of farming to obtain. It can be obtained by killing level 73-74 mobs. Still doesn't ring a bell?

Well if you haven't figured it out already, the item is Rituals of the New Moon. That's right that old offhand tome that's from wrath. This item peaked during wrath but I'm sure ( in fact I know ) most people forgot that this item even exists, that's what is so great about this item there is little to no competition.

I can craft these items for dirt cheap using old materials that I've got stockpiled from Wrath. I've got truckloads of herbs that are simply sitting there and on top of that I've also got thousands of Ink of the Sea just sitting around. I manage to sell these at 150-200g and they often sell after I bark in trade. "Barking" is basically advertising to those of you who don't know the meaning.

If you're looking for more info/tips on this item check out this old forum threads that dates back to Wrath times: The Wonder that is Rituals of New Moon. It's got great content and ways to market this item as well as just awesome information that you should read before trying to actively market this item.

If you're looking for a nice niche market that has great profit margins then go ahead and give this item a try.

How did your patch 4.1 go? I made 63k.

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

Yep that's right. I made 35k in a matter of a couple hours yesterday. How? I was prepared and I managed to pull another awesome 28k today as well. I knew what the patch was bringing but did you? were you prepared? I'm going to tell you how and what items I sold to pull in an absurd average of 31k/day in the past two days.

The most profitable market for me has been cut gems, especially Inferno rubies. Wow these things are a gold mine. I sell them 130-150g per and they sell in batches. These new heroics really upped the demand for cut gems and I sure was ready for it. I've pulled in 40% of my "profit" in the past two days from gems - that's right 25k from gems in two days.

My next most profitable items were enchants & leg enchants/spellthreads. Both of these sold extremely well due to the demand for them because of the new heroics. I'm completely out of tailoring materials as of right now because I simply didn't expect the demand to be this high. I've pulled in 25% of my "profit" in the past two days from these puppies. I expect the demand to keep up for another week or so, when people will have already farmed their desired gear and the demand will slowly but surely plummet.

There's still 35% left mageshadow, whered that last chunk of gold come from? I'd have to say Glyphs, Pets and other miscellaneous items such as chocolate cookies & volatiles. The biggest chunks would have to be glyphs and volatiles. The new glyph of frost armor has been selling exceptionally well. If you don't have it already - it's learned through northrend research. Volatiles are also selling well, especially fire volatiles.

I also found that vendor pets are selling exceptionally well. I had a small supply of vendor pets and I actually had to go out and buy more from the multiple places that you can acquire them from. So if you're looking for easy gold try selling some vendor pets.

Last but not least, I checked the Cataclysm rare spawns... and found none. If I see the mount on the AH for under 15-20k I'll buy it and most likely flip it. It's a nice niche item that can be flipped/sold for great profit. Remember when the Sandstone drake first reached people on your server? It was going for 75, 90, and at time 100k+. People will pay to be one of the firsts to own such mounts, trust me.

Well that's what I did to pull in roughly 63,000g in two days, what have you done? How much have you made? What items do you find are selling well? Drop a comment below!

Patch 4.1.0 Gold Tips

Posted by Markco at 8:00 AM

16 comments View Comments

Dun Dun Dun!

The wow gold guide has seen one of its largest updates yet, with over five pages of content added by none other than Alto from Alto's Goldish Advice. For current gold guide members, now is a good time to go check out the new chapter on Patch 4.1.0 gold tips. Afterwards, and if you haven't done so yet, you should take a look at Alto's blog as well as his gold making mini-guide which is actually an excellent complimentary guide to 20k Leveling.

Alto Who?

So who is Alto and why should he be updating the content of 20k Leveling for patch 4.1.0? First off, Alto is a millionaire in wow, and the speed at which he has learned his craft has been impressive to say the least. He has mastered every profession and created systems with addons that make him a pro at all aspects of making gold in wow. What I like most about Alto, and the reason I decided to ask him to be the primary updater for 20k Leveling, is the way he has taken my methods and improved upon them in his own unique way. You can see in his writing on his blog where my previous writings have influenced him, but over time he has also come to develop his own unique voice and system for making gold in wow.

I am very excited to have Alto on the team here at Just My Two Copper and will be looking forward to having him make additional updates to 20k leveling with new patches and any upcoming changes to the auction house, along with my own additions to the guide.

Patch 4.1.0 Updates

Check out the new 20k Leveling updates for Patch 4.0.1! If you aren't a member yet, consider becoming one and using the promo code "JMTC" to get 10% off your order (enter it into the little white box with the word 'code' on it on the 20k Leveling home page).

Warning: 20k Leveling is a gold guide, not a leveling guide. Although it will help you to make a ridiculous amount of gold from 1-85 and then onward with multiple professions at level 85, it is not meant to show you the fastest possible routes to level with. If you want a leveling guide I would suggest looking into X-Elerated or Zygor.

Patch 4.1 Preparation

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

3 comments View Comments

Well this is it folks! 4.1 will be tomorrow according to a handful of trusted sources ( no, mmochamp isn't one them ). By the time you read this post I'm sure the US servers will be down so this post will for the most part be a "check up" to see if you're prepared.

First of all - did you stockpile the top 5 best items to stockpile for patch 4.1? At least some of it? No? well when you log on you'll still have an hour or two before things start to go crazy on you, so if you haven't stockpile anything check the prices and see if you can buy anything cheap/worth flipping.

Last week I also did a mini guide on what you should be doing to prepare for the patch. Have you saved up some JP/Honor? Run on over to the vendor and buy some maelstrom crystals with that and sell them ASAP! You'll be able to make some quick bucks if you're the first to post! Have you parked some alts at the location of the cataclysm rare spawns? No? Better go check on them, especially poseidus as he'll give you the chance to drop a BOE Epic mount which can be ah'ed for thousands of gold!

Do you see any cheap elementium geodes at the auction house? Buy them and flip them! 4.1 brings new achievements as far as pets go and those who don't already have this pet will be willing to buy this pet for a little above it's normal price.

Also, don't forget to check out the JMTC blogroll, there are tons of other blogs that are putting out tips and tricks on how to make gold with patch 4.1.

I hope you guys are prepared for this patch! If you did you could make THOUSANDS of gold selling enchants, pets, gems, spellthreads, volatile and any other item that would be worth stockpiling. If you haven't, hurry! be the first to log onto the servers and buy whatever materials you can while they're still cheap! You've still got a small window of opportunity!

Patch 4.1 Gold Tips Coming Soon

Recent Email...

"Hi Marko,

A while ago I sent a rather large rambling praise filled email about your wow gold guide and my (then) new membership.  Well, get a drink and a comfy chair because now you are getting a detailed feedback, and (I hope) an ego boost to make your Thursday awesome.

Ok, the site is very digestible in it's chapter lesson plan based format.  This is great for people like myself that are information dyslexic (not a real condition, just scatterbrained). The other nice part is you are not restraining your client base to only do one part at a time. All great things.  I am an audio based learner, so your audio commentary only helps to cement the knowledge.

Now for my minor critiques, the video/sound quality on the tsm video is a bit low.  I'd wish for an HD version to be able to see your settings, or perhaps just a post of screenshots or simply a printout of your choices for settings.  I know it's subject to economy, but a launching point for the uninitiated would be great so we can model after one of the best wow Donald trumps out there.(you, duh. ;) ). Anyway, that is pretty much in ways of nitpicks.  Would love an import of your group breakdowns though, but not sure how much of a pain that is for you to post.

Now, all that negativity aside.  I have to say OMFGWTFBBQ, I am loving this guide.  I started the vendor search for a week and amassed seeding funds to finish off my engineering leveling, made him a skinner as well. So volatile airs abound, and electrified ethers amaze.  But beyond that, I took the tsm addon and used what I gleamed from you and compiled that with ages other gold blogs' info and now have practically automated my bankroll in the glyph, AH posting, and toon mailing departments.  I have never felt a synergy like this among my toons before.  Love that a lot.  As of this writing, I have not only broken through my fear of spending money to make money, but I have broken through my psychological gold limit.  I am now sitting at 9.7k in bank, with 11k in assets on top of that.  At most, I used to do 4 or 5 auctions at a time.  Now I have over 250 going on.  I have been able to focus on finishing up leveling some of my "forgotten" toons, and I am jazzed to get them into my gold making schemes.

Now I am sure that you are swamped with many emails daily, and I apologize if this one finds you annoyed with yet another long email to read, but I can't help but gush about you and your sites.  Thank you very much for providing (for those brave enough to take that first step) a concise "for dummies" approach.

In closing, as summer comes and my non wow life becomes more relaxing (don't ever adopt 5 kids, your days are filled with stress, and gaming is my stress releaser), I am planning on releasing a site for aging gamers such as myself (35 yrs old) to address in weekly blog format understanding of what it's like to be an older gamer and a father of budding gamers.  Mostly I want to touch on philosophies for a zen gaming life and how to apply multiple methodologies to a gamer who is stressed with life and is taking it out in-game.  My wife calls it a vanity project to further develop my lust for writing.  But anyway, I tell you this as I will most definitely address WoW in some posts and will provide a portal to influential blogs that I have personally found beneficial.  Yours and your accompanying paid guide will beheld in high praise with an affiliate link provided.

My hope is to touch, at least, one person's gaming experience and make it better.  But if I can show them the way to your site and product, all the better and I hope they (the hopeful future viewership) embrace your guide.

Well, I have gone on long enough, and my focus is probably losing it's edge by this writing's end.  I wish you well, and hope that you are having a great day.  If you are not having the best Thursday ever, then I hope you are having the best thursday this week. Lol

With best and sincere regards,

Daichiko"

You're Welcome!

Thank you for the email Daichiko, you and many others have found the new guide format to be both easy to digest and even easier to put to use. I am very happy for your continued success and innovative use of the guide. I'd also like to reveal to you the awesome news that I found someone who can go into the guide and make further updates for patch 4.1. I'll be releasing the name of the person once the update is ready to be published. Until then, happy gaming!

Your Gold Tips

If you personally have any ideas about the up and coming patch 4.1, including speculation, please feel free to comment about your ideas.

Stratholme Lilies and You

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

19 comments View Comments

Have you ever heard of this item? have you ever seen it at the auction house? My best guess is that you haven't, why? Because this item is simply rare. It's not hard to obtain but not many people know where to obtain it. It's relatively easy and by snagging yourself 4-5 of them you'll be able to make some nice profit at the auction house.

First and foremost I'll tell you where you're able to obtain Stratholme Lilies. You can buy them from Sophie Aaren in The Culling of Stratholme. That's right an old Wrath of The lich King dungeon. You have to go back there, but trust me it's well worth it.

First and foremost you can get here easily by getting a portal to Dalaran then taking the portal to Tanaris. Proceed to take the dragon outside the cave down into it's depths. From there locate The Culling of Stratholme. Now once you're inside you don't have to start any of the events simply run in, locate the NPC. To find her shop simply enter the city and keep right till you reach Festival Lane. You have to buy the lillies before the event starts so don't start it!!

One of the best parts is that Sophies not only sells Stratholme Lilies, but a whole bunch of other flowers which I will list below:

• Beautiful Wildflowers
• Black Rose
• Bouquet of Black Roses
• Bouquet of White Roses
• Simple Wildflowers
• Red Rose

Now since literally no one will have these flowers at the AH you'll be able to name your own price. I typically sell the lilies at 200g/per, that's 180g profit per lilies. I simply love utilizing this strategy because I also get the other flowers which I listed above. They don't yield as much profit as the lilies, but profit is good nonetheless.

What are you waiting for? Go snag yourself some lilies and make some easy profit at the AH!

P.S. I promise the recording of friday's meeting will be up today, I'm having some issues with it, I'm really sorry guys :(

Do you have too many Justice Points?

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

5 comments View Comments

I've personally had my justice points at a cap for roughly a week now, just waiting for 4.1 to drop so I can snag some maelstroms, but in the meantime I'm still earning more JP and I don't want them to go to waste so I looked around and thought of things I could buy with my JP that would be worthwhile.

I gave it some good thought before I came up with the idea of turning in some of my JP for primordial saronites. You read correct, that old crappy stuff that still goes for 100-200g at the AH still sells constantly. I've managed to snag 10 in the past week or so and I've sold them all for about 150g per.

Check out this graph that outlines the prices of primordial saronite across all US realms:

On some servers the price for primordial saronites are well above 200g, and sometimes as high as 4-500g. There is still a slight demand for this item as you need a ton to build the legendary item Shadowmourne. I personally know of six guilds on my realm that are currently trying to obtain this legendary and they buy the primordials off the AH whenever they can.

So if you have some spare JP or you're JP is capped, spend some on primordials to make sure that your daily heroic isn't wasted.

P.S. A recording of last nights meeting will be posted later today as me/we're having some issues with it. Check back later today. Sorry folks!

JMTC Weekly Q&A Meeting

Tonight is the night! Just My Two Copper is hosting a Question and Answer Meeting tonight at 9PM eastern time zone. This is your chance to drop by and have professional gold guru's help you with your gold making woes! The meeting will last approximately 2 hours. Anyone is welcome, you don't need a mic to talk, you just simply need to be there and we'll answer your questions, live! As always, a recording of the meeting will be posted tomorrow morning so whoever couldn't make it can at least listen in on what was asked/answered.

Do not be alarmed once you find out that you're muted and unable to speak ( Will happen promptly at 9PM ). This is normal, we will have everyone muted except a couple of the known professional gold making gurus who will be answering your questions. If you have something you'd like to add to the conversation simply say so in chat and we will gladly unmute you.

The meeting is being held on Teamspeak. This isn't something that WoW players use ( at least to my knowledge ) too often. I'd used ventrilo but the capacity that ventrilo servers can hold just isn't enough. You're going to have to download a program named Teamspeak 3. It's 100% safe and free ( feel free to virus scan it if you don't trust me ). Teamspeak 3 can be download here.

To those of you who can't attend, I've made a forum thread which can be found here in which you can leave your questions at and we'll answer them during the meeting. You'll be able to listen to the answer the following day when the recording is posted. 

We'll hopefully have a special guest come during the meeting, I'm sure you'll guys like/know him :)

Teamspeak Server Information:

Server: ts.isimba.org
Port: 9987

Also, anyone is welcome to join the JMTC IRC and ask questions at any time! This is your 24/7 Gold Guru heaven. You've got questions, we've got answers!

Sadly, I will not be able to make it to tonight's meeting, but there will be other gold gurus/professional there to assist you. Sorry guys and gals!

The Art of Underminin'

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

Most of you have heard that I/other people manage to pick up rare recipes worth thousands of gold for very little/cheap and then we proceed to flip them at the auction house. Personally I call this method The Art of Underminin. Why? It's simply an art.

What you need to do in order to accomplish this is to set up a undermine journal account and set up notifications. This is what will notify you when there is a rare pattern at the AH listed for under the price that you set it to. ( Ex. A schematic is listed at 500g which is below your 1,000g threshold ). Once you've got this set up make sure you check your e-mail frequently to see if any "snatches" come up. That's basically the art of underminin'.

You'll most likely be asking, but mage where can I get a list of what items are rare and which are not? The Consortium forums has an epic mega thread that's called: Items you should have on your Snatch list. There are hundreds of items within that thread which are valued at 5,000g+ but can be picked up for as little as 100g. Calianna also just recently added a new thread that adds even more recipes that you can set up notifications for, the thread is named Raid Recipes - Supplemental Snatch List.

You could potentially make hundreds of thousands of gold utilizing this strategy. It's a very low risk with very, very high rewards. The best part? It's not time consuming and if you pair up the notifications with the remote auction house tool you'll be able to snatch things when you're not even near your computer!

If you have no idea what the undermine journal is, check out these past posts, they have all the information that you need in order to get started.

• Putting two and two together
• The Undermine Journal 
• Auction House Server Database: The Undermine Journal

I'll even go a step FURTHER and direct you to this awesome thread over at the Consortium Forums: Need a TUJ Snatch List? Here You Go. TUJ just recently implemented a way that you can import others ( or your own ) snatch list. The thread linked above will allow you to set up notifications with only a handful of clicks instead of doing everything manually. You honestly have no excuse to not be using The Undermine Journal and it's awesome notifications system.

Why you should be doing your Outlands Fishing Daily

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

I simply love doing the outlands fishign daily, it's one of my secret tips that I've kept to myself for a very long time. I'm sure some/most of you have done at least the stormwind fishing daily once or twice, the bag that you receive give you mediocre rewards at best, while the outlands fishing daily bag has a chance to contain a ton of valuable items & even four different pets.

There are a total of four different quests that you can obtain from , they are Bait Bandits, Felblood Fillet, Shrimpin' Ain't Easy & The One That Got Away. They're all extremely easy to do and require roughly 5-10 mins to complete.

First and foremost, I'll list the four pieces of level 1 clothing that can be sold at the AH for insane prices:

• Antique Silver Cufflinks
• Gold Wedding Band
• Noble's Monocle
• Ornate Drinking Stein 

The stein can and has reached up to 1500g on my server ( I've sold two of them in the past for 1250g/ea ), the others can be sold at the auction house anywhere from 100-250g per. It's simply great gold if you manage to obtain one of these from the bag that you receive from doing the dailies.


On top of the four mentioned items, you also have a chance at obtaining greys which can vendor up to 25g. If that's not enough, you also have a chance at an epic level 70 ring named The 2 Ring. This thing is semi-rare and is worth a small fortune. I've gotten one in the past and managed to sell it for 2500g after a week or so of listing it at the auction house.


Now, if that's not enough to convince you, there is also the chance at obtaining four pets. They're all the same type of a pet ( a small crocodile ) but each pet has their own coloring/shading. They're great if you're going for the pet achievements. With 4.1 is bringing the 100 & 125 pet achievements you'll want to do this daily if you don't have these pets yet.

What are you waiting for? You're only 5 minutes away from a possible 2,500g, get out there are do these quests!

Rift Supremacy: Guardian and Defiant Leveling Guide Review

A Rift in Readership?

Hey guys, it's Markco again! Today I have something that is a little off key but it is a review that I feel needs to be done for this audience. Every single day I see people leaving wow for rift, in fact, over the course of the past three weeks over two hundred subscribers have unsubscribed and left a note similar to "Quit Wow for Rift." You may remember how prior to the release of Rift, JMTC was growing at an incredible rate and to be honest the rate of new subscribers has not changed at all, but the number of people unsubscribing for rift has taken its toll on our growth here.

Since so many of you have either left wow, will leave wow or are going to play both wow and rift, I decided to get in touch with one of the few online marketers I actually trust and asked him to develop a Rift leveling guide. It is incredible the number of dishonest guide authors out there who prey on new players in order to make some money. If only these marketers put some time and effort into their products then they would really be successful without having to rely on the uninformed members of a community. This is why I have entrusted Chris to write, record and manage a new Rift guide called Rift Supremacy.

Rift Supremacy Review

Many of you have purchased and enjoyed my own guide for making gold in wow known as 20k Leveling and it probably blew the pants off any other guide you ever purchased online previously (FYI: A large number of updates to 20k leveling are coming after 4.1). There were videos, written walkthroughs,  images, audio commentary and a free membership for all updates. Rift Supremacy will include all of these and much more as Chris continues to update it on a sometimes daily basis. Since so many of you enjoyed the video guides in 20k leveling, I have asked Chris to make the majority of his guide video based as well. That being said, you can still get all the videos in written walkthrough form should you prefer to read instead of watch them.

So far Chris has added complete video walkthroughs for the Guardian Leveling Guide and Defiant Leveling Guide, and he has ambitions to add a platinum (gold) guide as well. Needless to say, this is definitely a guide you're going to want to buy now before he starts realizing just how valuable it really is (just like I did with 20k Leveling). What's more, the earlier you buy this guide the more valuable it will be to you as he consistently adds value over time through updates.

Have you noticed a large number of friends or guildies leaving for Rift or at least trying it out? What has your experience been with Rift, if any?

Break Into A New Market

People always ask me, Hey mageshadow this strategy isn't working for me, is there anything else I can try to make gold? Why of course, there are hundreds of other ways that you can make gold but I'm going to go ahead and give you most personal tips that I just recently started.

It all started out while I was just browsing twitter, when I got a tweet from Markco which really caught my attention, this is what it read:

• @Mageshadow might want to share this with your followers: http://bit.ly/hCCZX8 - April 11, 2011

I looked into it and the link was to a wowhead page that showed multiple outfits that level 1 bankers can use, so i thought.. well if they use it, surely they have to buy it from the auction house. I quickly started looking up some of the items, monacles, tuxedos, ruby shades, gowns, robes, you name it and after a while I had a nice list of what I could snag/craft and sell at the auction house.

Since then, I've made thousands of gold in about a weeks time. Man you have no idea how little competition there is in this market and how high the profit margins can be. Seriously, go to the above link and check out a couple items on the list - wowhead them and find their locations, then go snag some and list them at the auction house. You'll be making hundreds of gold before you know it, the best part is that most of the items on that list are either vendor bought or can be snagged for cheap and then flipped.

I'll get you guys started on what I found some of the best selling items at the auction house:

Why you should reset your data

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

You should reset the data of your addons once in a while. Why? Things get outdated, their prices change and after a while you'll look at a tooltip and see that obsidium ore's price is 90g per stack, when it's going for 40-50g/per at the auction house. New expansions, patches and other things affect the price of things and if you're running of scans are are 3 months old, or even go as far back to Cataclysm release, you're most likely running on data that's not accurate.

You'll want to reset your addons, and you can either do so by uninstalling and reinstalling the addon, that would be simplest and most effective way. If you're looking to reset one of the most common addons, auctioneer, use the following command in-game to reset it.

• /auc cleardata ALL

I've been asked a million times if X person should reset your data, chances are if you're asking me or asking the forums if you should, then you probably should. Getting rid of old data is actually helpful, if you scan for about a week or so after resetting your addons data you're going to get accurate and up to date prices on items that otherwise would be inaccurate and could otherwise lose you thousands of gold if you buy them for much more than what their real price is.

If you don't have any data, start scanning! It's a great way to obtain the price of items instead of running to the Ah and looking for said items. Additionally, if you notice that some items are priced below normal, buy them out and flip them! I learned a couple things from Markco myself, and one of those was to buy low and sell normal,  and this strategy works! I couldn't of have done it if I didn't know the price of said item I was flipping.

I simply cannot stress how important it is to have accurate, up to date data in your addons. What are your thoughts on resetting your addon info once every 3-4 months?

Making Gold Like A Pro At Level 5

Posted by The Lost Meeple at 8:00 AM

Personally I think making gold at low levels is rather hard and tougher than at cap, but there are a couple methods that you can use to make gold like you're 85. It doesn't require much time either, it's rather simple and easy and the time spend making gold is minimal once you've got everything set up correctly.

What you're going to be doing is grabbing inscription and putting it on any alt, even if it's a level 5. Next, level inscription to 75, at this point you'll have access to the minor inscription research which will allow you to learn one new recipe every day. Craft the most profitable glyphs everyday and list them at the auction house, alsso do your research everyday until you have all of the minor glyphs. There is a total of 64 minor glyphs that can be learned.

The best part is that you're spending little to no gold crafting glyphs. If you have 25g, you could buy a couple stacks of herbs, mill them, craft inks, then craft the best selling glyphs at the auction house. You'll be turning that initial 25g investment into 100g+ in a matter of seconds.

If you haven't heard about it already, pair this up with TradeSkill Master and you'll be crafting, posting & cancelling with minimal time spent. There are a ton of guides out there that will teach you how to properly set up this addon if you've never heard of it. It does take up some time to set up, but once it's set up you'll be saving yourself from hours upon hours of time, trust me.

All in all, this is one of my favorite ways to make gold on my alts that on a different server than my main, especially once I learn most of the glyphs - it gives me access to a more diverse market that I can profit from.
