Reverse Shopping Lists

So as many of you out there that use shopping lists most likely use them as you would normally, to fill your lists with "like items", be that herbs, ore, enchanting mats, engineering mats etc. I have many of these myself. Or for the crafter's out there, I have a shopping list for the engineering pet and all the mat's that make him up (I am pretty sure that bunny is a him - though I haven't checked) but you get the idea. Shopping lists consisting of 'one huge item' and all the ingredients to make that. However have you considered the reverse?  Have you considered making a shopping list of All the Cata herbs and then adding on that list all the flasks, pots, pigments, inks, etc you could get from those? I touched on this a little with my post "Simple is Best", where I talked about seeing...

Gnomish Army Knives

Gnomish Army Knives have been a long time go-to item of mine. If you are a gnomish engineer you are set,  you can craft these for 20-30g. If you are not, watch for these items to come up AH and snipe them within the same price range. Many posters seriously underestimate the value and market of these items and you will often see them posted at ridiculously low prices. On my server however these will sell nicely between 80-125g each. The best thing about them is that they are used by five different professions. (and they act as jumper cables if you are an engineer). So the mat's required for these are: 1[Blacksmith Hammer] 18c 18c 1[Mining Pick] 81c 81c 10[Saronite Bar]   1g 50s   15g 0s 1[Skinning...

Chaos Orbs Tradeable and New Pets for Chanters?

Well, MMO posted a very eye opening Q&A with Wow Dev's See below! Are there any plans to make Chaos Orbs BoA or even BoE? - Mommycow (NA/ANZ) Yes! They will be unbound in a future patch.  Need I say more? If you are a crafter or a true Auction House junkie and don't do runs, so you have not bought recipes due to the need for orbs, make sure it is now in your plans. If you have high return orb recipes, make sure you have plans of stocking mats to churn these out once this happens. On the flip side if you currently have a stockpile of Chaos Orbs because you don't craft frequently, you have a couple of options, make sure you use them up before the value inevitably drops once they become BoE items or keep stockpiling they will definitely be selling at a decent 500-1000g each once...

Simple is Best

Ore was crazy again today so off I go on alternate routes once again.  Today I opted for a slightly different route and logged on my mage for a couple of hours and just did ports. I did these about 1 hour before raid time, to be optimal. In one hour I sold 11 ports and took in about 320g. At almost no expense this to me - nice change in my pocket. I also decided it was a good time to process some Savage Leather Scraps. I have little formula on my 'daily calc's spreadsheet" where I can just enter todays price of scraps and see if it is worth it to buy them and convert them to Heavy Savage Leather. Prices on my server today are listed below: Then I take that one step further and see if it is profitable to then convert them to pristine...

Illustrious Jewelcrafter's Token in 4.2

So I'd like to talk about the Illustrious Jewelcrafter's Token's today. I have recently starting sitting on these with the thought in mind that if I am stockpiling potential mats for epic gems (which I am, even though the mats are still hypothetical) should I also be stockpiling my Illustrious Jewelcrafter's Tokens for 4.2? Stockpiling mats, stockpiling the currency for the new recipes, with me so far? My thought is yes! The reason behind this is not that I have all the current recipes worth picking up (I don't).  I got into the Jewelcrafting game a little late, it was sort of an afterthought (it was one of the only professions I did not have). I have only a handful of cut gem recipes currently. My thought is that the bigger bang for my Jewelcrafter's Token buck is to buy the recipe's...

Neutral Auction House Follow Up

So I have done a test of the Neutral Auction House today. Not bad results but also not a huge win. So, I had some Alliance only pets to post on the neutral auction house and decided to kill two birds with one stone. I had about 80 pets to post and I decided to scan the auction house between my postings and see what I found. For the most part it was a strike out, but I did manage to snag myself 10 stacks of adamantite ore for 1 gold each, which on my server put me up 200g. The moral of my story would be, if you are going to the neutral auction house to post, it's worth having a look around at anything that might ring true as a stock transfer while you do it but I wouldn't make a special trip for this :) As a side note, ore and herbs are both at an all time high on my server. So shuffles have...

Neutral Auction House Sniping Revival?

I was just reading through some very old WoW forum posts (sometimes old is new again) and something I had not thought about in a very long time popped up. Neutral Auction House Sniping. Is there still money to be had in this? I have an engineer so I have a portal to Gadgetzan which I used earlier this morning to post some Magic Lamps on the neutral Auction house. (You should do this if you haven't already today they sell for about 2X what they do on your local Auction House) but I digress, back to Auction House Sniping, so I was scanning the auction house (I believe now in reverse) I scanned all 3 pages (not a huge showing) and then I sorted highest to lowest to see what are the big movers on the Neutral Auction house and what should I watch for.  I made a huge mistake there,...
