I am a Software Engineer and a Wow player in Hong Kong. I keep on doing many small project of mine to learn more about the world. Currently studying the economy in the World of Warcraft. These are the notes of what I had found and thoughts when I am there. To see more posts click here

I was not prepared, Either.

Profits

This post was writen a week ago,
since our 3.1 patch delayed, I had delayed the post as well.

Things changed a lot,
e.g. the first market still hold, the third as well
but I was lucky that I don’t get hurt by the stockpile prediction
(Although I still got 20 stacks of [item]Saronite Bar[/item] in bank…)

As I said the market will be chaos, and seems the prophecy came true to me….

=====
I know patch 3.1 is coming.
And it like a storm on US and EU Server
But I could not do a daxx thing about it in the TW Server.

Couples of reasons….


But I am not a Scribe!
Round 1 – Glyph [item]Inscription[/item]

The main battleground will be on the glyph market.

Since Dual Spec is coming and every single crazed player,

who never though about building a second spec will buy glyph on that day.

However, not a single reseller can able to beat that market with the scribes.

and I never pay my school fee to get my hand dirty with ink, so I am out of the game.

Reasons? my previous comment on skrooge’s post

Major Glyph market is very similar to the cut-gem market, unless you know much what’s going on, don’t set foot into it.

Say for most given class, only the a handful Glyph is used by the raiders and all else is useless.

On the other hand, the usefulness of any given Glyph changes whenever patch hits, and for the recent patches blizzard apply so close to each other, the price is very unpredictable, stockpiling is not an option.

One may only gain profit on a very short period of time in this market.

Why can the scribe handle that? They stock ink instead of glyph.

And restock the missing glyph coordinately.

The only thing I can do is get my hands on the inks and herbs.

However I had no idea on the inscription industry,

and even I look up the info on wowhead.

I bet my chance of winning is low.


Wow, that’ll cost a lot


Round 2 – High End Goods

[item]Titansteel Bar[/item] and [item]Moonshroud[/item]

while I can stockpile both of these.

The cost of both trade is high, and I am not so available for those trade.

I am doing “good” recently, if you count my asset base.

Not so risky trades. Suitable for me now

(Despite I throw a “big” move on enchanting material market)

I followed the Goblin’s wisdom (quote from Greedy Goblin)

You can sell fast or sell high, but can’t sell high fast.

So I have my patient pay out.

Generated a steady cash flow for me each day, since I buy really low.

and keep the market away from saturation.

However, since I am started so late (One week or two before the 3.1 Hit),

this revenue speed do not grant me the ticket to the big game.

Ethereal, Titan Ore and Steel, and Cool Down Cloth will skyrocket, no doubt.


At last, That’s where I could play
Round 3 – The Great Chaos

I had no idea where the round 3 is on.
However,
I am pretty sure there will be a very unstable market in those days

Unstable means Risk, Risk means profits…
By All mean, I should liquidize my asset soon for a fast track trading on those days.

I got my [item]Chronicle of Dark Secrets[/item] preparing as well
