Not-so Weekly Report (Oct 23)

Weekly Summary

Thoughts and Blogs

Another week

Blogosphere

One-Copper.com

Seth got a new site :) Good for him, I really like the theme and layout, and I expect with higher degree of freedom on the site, we’ll had more interesting thing going on there…
And the podcast, now that’s one is great, Although he did a little nervous on his first one, I guess tonight’s one will be great, Keep it on, Seth!

That’s remind me the time I get my own domain name. Someone told me that, I am so lucky that I can get a domain with my own name. It’s kinda reverse, I get people call me Zekta, after I got Zekta.com . A shorthand for my original 8-letter long net-name. My parent and friend call my Chinese name (and other nick name) anyway.
Uniqueness is what I am looking for when I am creating this name. So that Google will rank me higher for anyone who look for me (If anyone ever wanted to).

JMTC IRC

JMTC IRC, what’s more exciting than that… I feel so noob after I listen to the chat with some giant in JMTC forum.

A slip of thought pass thru my mind that I wonder if I should keep blogging. Nan, They really should start blogging, but until then, I am safe :) . (finger crossed) But then I’ll have great blog to read, That would be nice too, that’s okay…

My Business

Aka Time to Cut loss

The Arctic Fur and Titan Changes interrupted my purchase plan. Now, I got 3 set of Arctic Fur and some Titan Steel to unload. Should able to get them out before the 3.3 patch.

I get my hand on two epic BOE dropped in Ulduar, and I got no use of it. I noticed that the price drop when the new raid CD refresh (New supply I guess) I’ll keep that until Sat-Sun….

I really got not much to said about business and gold making lately. (Got tons of ideas from IRC chat though…)

My Raid

aka Gold Pugs are Loverly!

I Bought 2×245 upgrade from 25 ToC Normal. For 1k each. The Trinket and Main Hand sold for 6k each, I should get my hand on that next time. But since it’s my first bidding, I should test the water before jumping in. A side note, The [item]Trophy of the Crusade[/item] Sold for 4k each.

At the end of the pug, each person got 2.2k. Which my net payment is 200g (it’s more like wage than profit, since I worked for it) With gemming and enchant, it’s even. (I am not using epic gem, since it’s 100% price, but only get 10-20% increase in stats)

I would said it’s even better than a “roll pug”. Chances of getting upgrade much lower (and Much inefficient), since rival-role player will roll on a minor upgrade, since it cost them nothing.

Note-to-self: I should talk more about gold-pug later on.
That’s a “short” update for this week
Happy Hallow End :)

    Yes please, by all means write about some of the gold PUG specifics! This could be a VERY good way for my fresh 80 horde toons to get into Ulduar and TOC raids. Perhaps some of the specifics, including some addons to manage the bidding (DKP addons perhaps?) so some of us might be able to organize such runs.

  • Zekta Chan Says:

    Great, I’ll find some time to talk with those Gold Pug Raid Leader, They seems to have some addon keeping track on those.

    Which is nice…

  • Sarmation Says:

    Yes please make time to write about the Gold PuG. That is a very interesting idea and I would love to know more about that.

  • Seth Says:

    Woop thanks for the feature Zekta!

    • Zekta Chan Says:

      There are rather little input I can give for the podcast, (that’s why I didn’t commment it yet :( )

      I see you got a lot of part iron out from the test podcast.
      1. The pace is good, it would be nice if you can insert more pause between topics.
      2. It’s hard to distinguese the sound FX/roleplay part from the normal speech. As I said before, it’s better let the audience expect it’s coming, by inserting a short period of pause, or have some intro music before and after it.
      3. it guess it’s hard to balance content for advanced trader to newbie trader, I’ll come back to you after another podcast session…

      btw. May be you can include “the war” in the podcast as well

      It’s all nice otherwise :)
