The Blanket Method


Difficulties exist when a gold goblin is trying to cover all of the professions.   It is difficult not to get lost in adding items to your existing mental queue to craft.  Between Leatherworking and Blacksmithing there are 100's of items that can be crafted and placed to make gold.

The balance to find is what items will make the most profit.   I have never been a fan of the blanket method of adding items.  This includes the Malevolent PVP gear that is the on the market.   If tailors have finished all of their cooldowns each day they should have all of the Malevolent PVP patterns available to craft.   Leatherworkers and Blacksmiths have a few more days before all of the patterns are at their disposal.

Already on some servers the PVP belts and PVP boots have lost their profit margins.  They have the lowest amount of materials needed to craft.  These are also the lowest in demand due to the Honor/Conquest points being relatively easy to get.  Pants and Chest pieces tend to sell a lot better than the lower profitable items.

This also means the lower tear from last season has gone down to liquidated pricing.  Occasionally I will see players listing these for the same price that they were sold during last season.  This is unfortunate being ignorant of the market as it is.  Think of last years fashions and how you generally find them on the discount racks at stores.  Yes there is a possibility that you might be able to get a quick sale at a large price.  But the time and effort of relisting it over and over again might not help with paying the bills.  Ultimately that item will become enchanting fodder as well.

The same happened with PVE gear.  Even now it's just easier to Disenchant greens that drop during raids and instances.  On some servers,  especially if you do not have access to and enchanter, it's better to just vendor the greens for the gold that they bring.  But keep in mind that if you are having to continually re-enchant gear due to upgrades (thanks askmrrobot.com) then you might want to still disenchant these items for your own personal enchants.  Enchanters always appreciate you bringing your own materials to the party and just paying a tip for their efforts.

Any gear below 496 and weapons are basically dead.  an hour in the Timeless Isle and you can have the majority of your pieces to make a decent set of gear.  If you are finishing the daily quests continually you will have an extra stack of gear sitting in your bank for when your other toons are able to equip it.  The only items that are still viable are the epic crafted weapons.  Unless you run the older raids, epic weapons are at a premium.  I listed all of my toons and where the weapons drop for them which guides me on where to spend my extra roll tokens.

The gold is still out there.  But moving out of crafting and more into enhancement items (leg armor,  enchanting items,  glyphs) will guide your gold making into the future.

Not Enough Loot On My Hands


If your like me,  you are knee deep in killing mobs,  looting mobs and running around the Timeless isle looking for more items to loot.

Also if you are like me,  you have a plethora of extra Timeless Silk Robes,  Plate bracers and  items that will never see the light of use.  I"m up to 4 toons that are geared mainly through these drops with another two that have yet to hit 90 that are sitting with full gear in their bank.  One thing I ended up with a large extra quantity of are the silk versions of the 'packages'.

Luckily my one and only cloth wearer is also my Enchanter.   So basically each time I get one of these Silk packages I send it to my Warlock,  open it and see if by the off chance it is an upgrade.  If it is then bonus I DE the other item for that lovely lovely Sha Crystal.  Vice Versa if it isn't an upgrade.

There is a limit on who can DE what.   A plate wearer can only open up the plate packages,  leather wearers limited to leather etc.   This also means they are the only ones that can DE the leftovers from these armor types.  Still gotta love free Sha Crystals.

The other item that seems to drop a lot is the Technique glyphs that are used by Scribes for the new recipes.  The strange thing is that they can be looted by everyone (not just scribes like normal profession recipes have been.)  I have not run into the problem of a non scribe needing on the recipe yet (you want to hear someone screaming,  wait til that happens in an instance). 

A friend of mine was wanting to know how to obtain the Sky Golem pattern.  Explaining to them that they needed to just kill mobs in Pandaria they spent an hour killing them.   My assumption was that they had already maxxed out their Engineering.  Low and behold I found out they had not maxxed out the profession.   After being the nice gold goblin and sending them some materials to finish up the profession it took them 10 kills for the pattern to drop.  

But there is a dark side to all of these 'new' drops and items.  With 476 gear basically being given away with a smirk and a smile on the island.  Crafted gear is in the tank.  Weapons still sell decently but the majority of major armor pieces are not selling as well as they should.    They do sell but not at the speed they should.  The same thing with some servers and PVP gear.  The easier that gear is to obtain,  the less demand there ends up being for high level crafted gear.  LFR and Flex has changed the game when it comes to Keybashing your way through an encounter to scoop up the loot.

Still my faithful gold friends panic not.  There are plenty of opportunities to get some well earned cash.  You just need to be smarter (and handsomer) than the rest.  Knowing your lines of sales and keeping a good close firm grip on the amount of investment you have with materials.  Do this and you have a good chance of buying that little plot of land you want on the Timeless Isle.

Sorry,   the sea area is already claimed by me.  I'm building my boat dock there.

Good Luck and Good Hunting
