[Zekta] whispers: What's the point of getting gold anyway?

Into the recycle business

Zekta Chan

Background

My bank was full of green gears and different level of cloth, and I finally gather enough strength to handle that.

I believe that many people share this problem with me, so after some price research, I started my business on recycling.

A Tailor and Enchanting Combo. I leveled my warlock to 50. Enough for the most profiting Netherweave bags and disenchanting for most of the outland gear. I may take another time to level her to 65, but well, after the 3.2 mount changes.
(This post was written @ August 1st. She’s on Level 63 now, and aiming for 68 for the shroud of tailoring…)

The Industry

Basically the industry goes like this…
Buy up cloth and green gear on AH and in Trade Channel, convert them into profitable product (e.g. Netherweave Bag, Robe of Arcane, Wedding Dress, Formal Dress for RP purpose) and enchant materials.

Buy In

Green gears and Cloth are the leftovers for leveling, after training first aid, the cloths is useless to most of the player.
Green gears serve no purpose other than upgrade for their gear, Lots of player want to get rid of these junk, quickly.

Many of them go into dusty bank/guild bank, or directly to NPC.
Others go into trade channel COD and AH. (Where I had gathered these materials)

Updates: The price of these materials on outland will drop soon, due to introduction of flying mount on 3.2, player will spend much lesser time and doing much lesser battle at outland.

Sell Out

On the other hand, The market consume large amount of enchanting materials for leveling it, every single person who annoyed by disenchanting gear, pours more gold into our pocket.
Nevertheless to said, Scroll of Enchants. ([item]Enchant Boots – Minor Speed[/item], anyone?)

Tailoring, [item]netherweave bag[/item] [item]Frostweave Bag[/item], sell like candy with Nicotine.

Summary

Tailor and Enchanting Combo not only synergy on leveling a lot, they also provide a stable decent profit. Worth a try if you are not into the complex Glyph market IMO.

P.s I thought I had writen this post long before, but it ends up sleeping on my draft stacks…. things pretty much didn’t change though (Other than my progress)

Weekly Summary

Thoughts and Blogs

Seems that I am facing a writer block recently (again), I hesitate to said much about my business in regular post, since there are nothing much to said.

The trading and setup tutorial are abundant and in good shape, and I don’t want to add yet another tutorial our there… Guess I should finish those draft I had now….

Blizzard Con

This worth its own session this week…
I am upset by the fact Goblins are on horde…
Arrgh, I want my Goblin banker :( Especially for the bank racial and discounts…
Anyway, got to live with it /. . with my Worgen banker (Sprint for AH to bank, Yoy)

Blogosphere

A new wowecon site by Basis had been born.
Story of his rags to rich, he’s quite thoughtful on many subject, Another RSS feed for my daily blog read. Good work there…

My Business

With the introduction of the QA2 into my system, Profit Sky rocketed. Instead of listing all auction out at one time, I can easily post them and in a much more efficient way.

For the record, I had made 5k solely on Glyph selling, and reach my 50k milestone.
(I kept running out of ink of the sea though…. and had even more time on playing with that setup)

Price increases in Outland Drops

Zekta Chan

Just a quick update on what I had observed.

As predicted by our fellow traders,
The price of outland drops had increased,

The Flying mount changed introduced on 3.2 reduced lots of fight on outland.
Effectively reduced lots of fight when player move from point A to point B.
Supply of Netherweave, Green gear, Leather had decreased dramatically, since they are side product of leveling.
I predict the price cooking ingredients will be increased too ….

(I suspect Primal, Herbs and Ore will be the same, since they’ll had dedicated farmers)
