Mommar again.

A couple of weeks ago i had written about looking for the tipping point between transmuting Truegold and transmuting new elements.  

With 5.04,  this has become a moot point because the transmute timer on Truegold has been removed. Where on many servers Truegold has remained at the same price and even going down,  volatiles are starting to rise again in prices.  Some of this can be linked directly to less farming occurring in volatile rich areas.   Less mining and Herbalism starts to effect Volatile Life and Volatile Earth and its availability in the open market.

Now is that time to switch to performing your living element transformation and collect either Volatile Air from Ulduar or Volatile Water from Vashjir.   Both are seeing increases in demand and even for long term storage (Volatile Earth is still going to be very useful to resell to levelers during the opening part of Mists of Pandaria).

But don't give up complete on Truegold if you're an alchemist.   Where right now there isn't as much demand for your alchemist created mount Vial of the Sands,  a new grouping of warcraft millionaires will be quickly rising.   And they will be demanding more and more extravagant items to purchase.   So keeping a few Truegold in the bank could come in profitable later on.

So goodbye you excellent money making Truegold you,  I'm sure you will be back filling gold goblin pockets in no time.

Good Luck and Good Hunting

Manipulating the Market – Volatile Air

Hello everyone! My name is Brad (also known as Sandboxtiger) and I’ve got a market which I’d
recommend you all take a look at. While it may have been said time and time again, the run-of-the-mill trade goods can often result in high net profit if you invest the time into learning the market, knowing when to buy, and knowing when to sell. In this case, the item in question is Volatile Air.

While its results may vary from Server-to-Server and Faction-to-Faction, it is a very simple concept which be applied to several different markets of similar demand.

In this method, the fundamental idea here is to identify a price “price ceiling” for an item. In more
relatable terms, it’s a matter of finding out how much Gold the average buyer is willing to pay. While
fairly reliable data can be pulled from The Undermine Journal, the best way I’ve found to find these
elusive ceiling prices is by having a watchful eye on the market myself, writing down prices, and testing a variety of prices to see what works and what doesn’t.

On my Server / Faction (Stormreaver Horde), Volatile Air can sell for anywhere between 15-19 Gold.
The price fluctuates often – which should be used to one’s advantage – and this allows for strategic
purchases on a fairly regular basis. After several rounds of testing (by listing stacks higher / lower than
my found price ceiling), I’ve found that (again, on my server), people aren’t willing to ever pay more
than 19g per Volatile Air, but are more than willing to pay anywhere between 17g-18g per Volatile. Once you have this information, it’s all a matter of application.
