Hitting 80

Yes, I've finally hit 80 on my death knight and started to gear her up, and I'm already having good enough gear for most heroics (except for maybe ToC and some of the harder ones). I haven't focused a lot at making gold for the past few weeks which in combination with buying some enchants and such has brought my total gold down to about 22k. With the patch coming out tomorrow (today for you readers) I've decided to get back in business. I got a lot of stuff stocked up for the patch for example a lot of infinite dusts and heavy borean leathers and also a bunch of snowfalls and eternal lives that I will make into cards once I see how the patch affects the prices, but as I've said before, I'm not worried.

On the other hand I have completly forgot to stock up on glyphs and as I have a test tomorrow I don't have time to recraft them today. So the first thing I'll do tomorrow is to refill my glyph stock to make sure I get as much money as possible out of the patch.

Right now I got about 1500 infinite dust bought for around 2g each, and if I get the price rise to 3-4 or even 5g as I want I can get anywhere from 4500 to 7500 gold for them. With the increased demand for saronite there will most likely be less dust on the market, and combined with the regular demand increase of enchanting mats that comes with every patch I am confident I'll get, at the very least, my money back.

I also got about 1000g of heavy borean leather that I trust will go up once you can buy arctic fur with them. I've also done pretty much none work in the gem market so I still got a lot of raw gems left that I can cut and sell for a good price.

As I have now hit the (level)cap and school is calming down for the holidays I will try to be more active with my posting and goldmaking. I am quite interested in trying out the pure goblin way of glyph selling instead of my weird mutated alternative after Kevmar said he had a lot of sucess with it. Right now I'm trying to find a way to make KTQ use the market value instead of the lowest buyout of the last scan, but as I know nothing about lua it's not going well. With some luck it shouldn't take too long to fix it but if anyone with some knowledge of lua could take a look at it I would be very grateful.

That's what I've been doing the last few weeks and hopefully I'll be able to speed it up a bit in the next few days.

The goldpile is... sinking...

Yup that's right. I am sitting at 4700g. A loss of about 1500g. You may ask yourself, what happened? Well, it's not as bad as it looks.

When I woke up this morning and logged on I picked up my expired glyphs and a few sold ones hardly worth mentioning. After doing that I didn't really feel like working on the AH today so I toke a day of to get some rest.

I decided to try out trial of the champions, the new 5-man dungeon, today and it went good. We did it on normal 2 times, both with good results even if we had to do it with only four people on the second try resulting in a wipe on the black knight. On the second attempt we got him down to the ghost form and I... died. His mark of death really hurts. I flew back and entered the instance just in time to see the the healer and the other DPS get killed before the tank killed him.

But to get on the moneymaking subject. I've written to the price dumper I talked about yesterday without an answer. However, he/they have posted more auctions so I find it likely that this is intentional and not, as I belived, a configure error in QA2.

So what will I do about this? Nothing. Nothing at all. I will just stop posting for a few days and wait them out. If I'm lucky they may even suceed in driving some competition out. The worst thing that could happen is that I am forced to contact the other big glyph posters on my server and get them to join me in a even bigger price dump.

That would be absolutly worst case scenario and I really hope I wont have to take it that far.

On my enchanting/JC alt there hasn't been a lot of stuff going on either. No posted gems today and all I've sold is a few old enchanting scrolls from leveling. The price of titanium is at about 15-20g per ore, still far too much for me to even consider buying it, but I predict a price drop during the weekend.

I guess there is just one thing left to write. How did I manage to loose 1500g over 1 day. The answer is simple, it's called Jeeves. Most of you should have heard about it but if you haven't here's a short explanation.

Jeeves is like a regular repair bot with two important diferences.
1. He is not destroyed upon use and
2. He allows me to acess my banks from anywhere in the world.

I have never bothered with the old repairbots as I do not raid but I did see the usefulness of having acess to my bank so I decided to make it.

The mats however was pretty expensive so I ended up pretty poor, especially as I didn't have any income.

Well that's it. Hopefully I'll get a better day tomorrow.
