PTR 4.0.6 and Gold Making Addons

As far as I can see the PTR hasnt broken any of my addons.....yet. A couple of LUA errors due to Quartz but TradeSkillMaster seems to be working fine as does Skillet if people are still using that.

DMC: Gamble update

So, this is my first update of my Inscription and the 30k gamble project from 15.01.2011. Its been a few days since my original post and I have so far spent roughly 40k on herbs, more than I expected and more than I really wanted to.

I was at 300k and now im down to 260k.

Justice Trader Items *HOT NEWS*

If you like my articles please follow me <-------- over there. 

Also please check out my other post for today which may get lost due to this news Dont forget the Cookies.

So as I mentioned in my post Trade your JP and HP  you are now available in 4.0.6 to exchange badges for trade items. I also mentioned that Blizzard said it wouldnt be cost effective and it looks about right to me.

Dont forget the Cookies

DMC: Volcano's sneaky changes, value going up maybe??!!

• Darkmoon Card: Volcano now triggers from periodic damage.

This is an interesting change and could make alot of casters sit up and pay attention. I am not quite sure how mastery stacks with most casters. I know mastery isn't the best stat for my Destruction Warlock but with the trinket now proccing from DoT's it could become alot more interesting. The mastery stat can always be reforged to haste/crit if you need to.

I believe it may be pre-Hc Raid BiS for alot of caster speccs, Moonkin, Demonology and Affliction Warlocks for example.

We may see a rise in price aswell, so hold you cards close to your chest so to speak and don't go giving it away on the cheap. 

The Darkmoon Faire rolls into Shattrath in two weeks time for the second time since the expansion was released. These cards will still be in demand....... for the next 6 weeks at least.

Follow my Inscription and the 30k gamble project which I will be updating in the next couple of days.

Dont forget your bags or more specifically bag!!

Netherweave Bags are down to nothing, Embersilk Bags are too expensive and selling for less than material cost but one little baby who keeps pumping out is the:

Abyssal Bag

Whats not to love about this bad boy, one of the few 22 slot bags and has very affordable materials, one of which you may have stockpiled somewhere.......Frozen Orbs.

Base materials for the Abyssal Bag are:

• 60 x Frostweave Cloth
• 12 x Infinite Dust
• 8 x Eternal Shadow
• 4 x Eternal Fire
• 1 x Eternium Thread

Frozo will be a nice fellow and trade you your Frozen Orbs for the Eternals. If you don't possess any Eternals then check the AH for both Eternals and Frozen Orbs. The total materials would cost 144g on my server if you bought them from the AH at current prices.

Dont forget your Frosty Flying Carpet if your character is a new Tailor.

The other mats can be picked up quite cheap from the AH, the Abyssal Bag is holding its value well into Cataclysm. Check it out.

Its quite easy to forget about the Wrath items that still sell with all the hooha surrounding Cataclysm items. 

If your market seems to taking a dip or you fancy a change of scenery, give a few of these a whirl.

Heirloom Vendor now in Org

From the PTR. I personally havent seen this lady??!! before in Orgrimmar. She stands next to the current Justice and Valor point vendors on the left with the incoming Justice Trader on the opposite side.

This means hopefully that more BoA item scrolls will be sold as the Heirlooms are more accessible now.

Helping Hands

We all use different methods to make gold so when little things come along to help its pretty nice.

I personally have been using 3 speadsheets to help my Alchemy, JC, Enchanting and DMC market.

I recommend checking out the following sites and spreadsheets:

• WoW Confidential's 12000g profit in one day crafting darkmoon card of destruction
• Wowstabilitly's spreadsheets
• The Consortium's The Shuffling Spreadsheet that killed them all

I am currently using the WoW Confidential one for my Inscription and the 30k gamble project and used the Alchemy spreadsheet from Wowstability to help with my Writers Block and Flask Master post. The Consortium one came too late to affect my Elementium Ore and my 24* hour Project but I have used it since and its really helpful.

Having more info at hand is always important and the guys who spend time creating these spreadsheets have mine(no pun intended) and the gold making community's gratitude.

Spreadsheet creater's around the globe, we salute you!!!!

Leatherworkers Gold Making Tip

I was levelling my Leatherworker the other day and had to make a few Darkbrand Leggings. I posted these on the Auction House and inside an hour there were sold. I tried a few more same again.

The bare materials required for Darkbrand Leggings are:

• 4 x Heavy Savage Leather or 20 x Savage Leather
• 12 x Volatile Earth

This is not an item that will make you millions but if you have alot of Volatile Earths from mining or it is fairly cheap on the AH plus you use the Tol Barad Crocs, Crikey!!!! for the leathers you could at least double your investment.

The prices should range between 350g - 900g depending on which random enchant is made. Click here for a list.

These are very good legs and can be used well into heroic dungeons. A great way to make a few gold off people starting alts or people levelling up.

Dont drink and WoW

So, after a night out I decided to log into WoW and promptly bought:

• 6,720g worth of Elementium Ore 
• 1,920g in Herbs
• 1,000g worth of Volatile Life 
• a Medallion of Faith
