New Season, New Possibilities

   One week ago we saw the drop of the patch. That is when all the sales started going haywire, when the demand for gems, enchants and everything in between went up. Well, today is that same day, but on a smaller scale. What i means by this is, we have the start of the new PvP season, which in return means new PvP gear and people starting to do more PvP to get the new gear. Like we all know, new gear requires new enchants and new gems so we should see a big increase in those.

     So this time around make sure you get your crafters shelling out goods to sell. One good thing about the start of the new season besides the new rise in demand for enchants and gems is the rise in new characters in playing PvP, and those characters need a intro level gear so they don't absolutely suck, and get them selves killed in two shots.

    That right there is what you want to focus on. Get that PvP gear out on the market and see how many you end up selling.

   If you have a Leatherworker, Blacksmith or Tailor, make sure you have bought the patterns for the given PvP sets and that you price them relatively high, as an example if the mats cost you 200g price them at 1500g, they will sell no doubt about that.

   If you are a Jewelcrafter, this time around expect a rise in the sales of the PvP gems. So all those gems that are collecting dust in the corners of your bank are going to see some sales today and in the following week.

      This next bit is more focused at the PvP playing community. Namely they have been given the chance to acquire their epic gems that are PvP oriented straight from the PvP vendor, but given the fact that it costs 750 conquest points i don't see them going for them any time soon unless they are playing on an alt and want to make some gold off the insanely high price of the gems now. My guess is that this is Blizzard's way of addressing the crying PvP community that was crying out on the forums, now they have a place where they can go ahead and tell them that there are PvP gems in the game that can be bought.

   So not much else to talk about, except one thing, if you are a PvPer enjoy the new season.

   So, like always, keep your eyes open for good opportunities out there.

Patch Week, The Perfect Time To Sell

   Welcome back ladies and gentle goblins. Today we are going to cover a small thing that if used right can earn your truly awesome profits. From experience, we know that when a new patch hits the sales go haywire, but if that patch brings an end to a season, and start to a new one, then it's a full out sale out.

     Well, this patch happens to be one of those patches, and we all made those awesome profits, but this patch has something that's even better about it.

What i mean by this is, this patch was released on a mid week day when people were at work and didn't all get a chance to play as much as they would want to. Well now we are coming on the weekend, and all those people that were busy working or what not are going to be free and playing. If you happen to be one of those people that were stuck on their work place, or  were busy with something else and didn't get to make the gold you wanted now it the time. So what this means for us is quite simple, SELL SELL SELL.

   I happen to be one of those people that loves to make gold, and on the patch day i tried to surpass my previous record of 200k per day, but kinda failed due to some problems but that's not important i made some awesome amount as well, but what's more important is that the 2nd day of the sales i made half of what i made on the patch day, and the good thing is that now the weekend is starting. So this only means that we get to have 4 consecutive very big sale days so expect to see huge incomes.

   So let's keep it short, and lets get down to what to sell if you missed the previous posts that were made check out The Hour Of Twilight Aftermath post, more precise near the end of the post you will see a list of things to sell, just copy that list and add a few things.

   One of the big, and i do mean big sales has came from selling gear on the AH. Let me clarify, when i say gear i mean visually interesting pieces of gear that in most cases can be obtained by crafting it. Most notably for me at least has been the Nightscape Boots and other boots that have a model that looks like an actual boot. Before i'm misunderstood, when i say actually looks like a boot i mean about how the model looks on a Undead ( This is primarily for Horde ) because a lot of the boot model for Undeads end up looking like slippers. So if you have a character that can craft gear, be it Cloth, Leather, Mail or Plate, make sure you inspect how they appear and see if you like them.

   So a fast recap in short lines of the top sellers that you should be selling :

Gems => Enchants > PvP Gear >Visually Interesting Gear > Food => Flasks, Pots

   And last but not least, if you missed out on the patch day for whatever reason, or didn't make as much as you were hoping to make, then i bid you all good luck and huge profits for this patch weekend.

   So, like always, keep an eye out for good opportunities out there.

Hour Of Twilight Aftermath

    Here we are a day after the patch (or two days for the US readers), and this post is not going to be a long one but rather a patch day aftermath report. Things with this patch were a bit unusual, at least on my server, and the reason for this was that i didn't take into account that alot of people had left the server. ( 3 major raiding guilds transferred away ) Given this information, my profits weren't that high, to top my last patch winnings of 190k. This patch i made 135k in about 6 hours of game time, and the reason for having only 6 hours even with the fact that i had a whole day free, is the universal law that states when everything is right, something will go wrong that will make it all go wrong. In my case, that was the internet connection going down for 2 hours in peek hours. But enough with this, it sounds like i'm making excuses, lets get down to the facts of what was happening and what to expect now.

Here's my MySales sales list taken at 9pm last night, for some reason i didn't make one before i went to bed, so on this one you can see that the sales are hovering at 105823g at that time. From what you can see, 90% of the profits i did are coming from the gem market. Well actually come to think of it on this image you can't see that much about what was selling, but only the gold acquired from the sales. Ok off to the next one where you'll be able to see the most profitable things that i sold and made some gold from.

   On this image, on the right you can see the top earners for this patch for me. Like i said i chose to go full out on the gem market, but did take on a few of the most sold enchants as well. As any patch day, this one was following about the same guidelines. Those guidelines are simple: people get new gear, people want gems for new gear, people want enchants for new gear, goblins make gold from people wanting things. So like i said i chose to go full out on gems for two reasons, first one being that i had all patterns and a stock to hold me for 3 patch days, and second one is that epics got released now so i need to offload the stock i have piled up before it deflates.

   I have a friend that took the other route about making gold on this patch day, he took up the enchanting scrolls and made almost as much as i did. So if you happen to be a enchanter it's still not late to jump in the market, because it's going to be a busy month for us gold makers because everyone will be getting new gear now and gems and enchants will go through the door.

   So that was what i did, and now this is what you should expect to see in the next week up to a month. So if you happen to have a character that can do any of those things you might want to jump in and make some profits.

• Enchants will have a high demand, so if you are enchanter get to enchanting
• Gems need will be high so this is the time to get to cutting gems
• Flasks and Pots will be in high demand so get mixing 
• Food is a great seller now, people want their food before they jump into instances and raids, so get cooking. A great way to make gold here is with the Fortune Cookies.
• New Season starts next week, so the need for PvP gear will go up, so get down to crafting some PvP gear. ( This is going to increase the need for enchants and gems again )
• Sell the belt buckles, everyone will want those so they are and will be a big seller.

   So, like always, keep an eye out for good opportunities out there.

Fast Recap Before The Ball Is Dropped

   So now we know, tomorrow patch day, and if you prepared like you should have it's the day that you will make a killing from all the sales. I won't make this a long post, i'd rather make a short one that will tell you what to expect, and how to make maximum amount of gold from it.

   This first part if for CRAFTERS. Everyone that has ever been in the PvP gear market can tell you that it's a high profit margin market if you start it in the beginning of the patch.

   Q: Will new crafted PvP gear be available ?
   A: Yes, there will be new ilvl 377 crafted PvP gear available with the various crafting professions
   A List of all the craftable items

   What does this mean to us as gold makers? Well it means that if we want to profit, we need to be well prepared, and have all the items premade ( not the actual PvP items, but rather the ore smelted into bars, cloth into bolts etc). If you are low on any volatile that you will need to craft the PvP gear now would be the last moment to buy it.

   Second thing that you must be prepared for, the fact that the orbs from heroics will be made BoE so if you can forge those weapons get on it, and stockpile some Truegold, which if you have read the truegold post  you've probably did it anyways.

   If you are not a crafter don't worry, you can make gold if you happen to be a alchemist. New instances and raid will mean new "thirst" for pots/flasks. So expect their prices to rise up a bit and the sales to intensify.

   JEWELCRAFTERS. If you are one, then get ready for a real storm of demand on patch day. When i say that it's going to be a storm, i mean you are going to be selling faster then you can cut. This is why you want to have all the gems pre cut to atleast a full stack of 20 sitting in your bags. If you want to maximize your profit though there's one thing you should make that is crucial, and that is to log in the minute the server goes up. As soon as you are in, don't go checking out new stuff, don't go opening the door if someone rings or answering the phone, just go to the AH and buy out every single gem you see up there and post them back up, at prices that you feel like are where you want them to be. (for me this is 200g per gem) So don't forget, RESET the prices and keep your stock up.

   One last thing about our PvP oriented readers. Read up on this post from mmo champion blue tracker.
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/207241/pvp-season-10-ending-soon
    In short, don't buy your honor gear on patch day, but wait for one week to do so because there will be more powerful PvP gear available for honor then.

   I usually make my posts with pretty pictures, and catchy phrases but seeing as how i have to go and finish my prepares for tomorrow i leave you with this picture, and I bid you luck on tomorrow's sales
