3.3 preparation Part One

Todays post is about patch 3.3 preparation. This patch makes a huge impact on economy in a lot of professions, so you have to be careful and read a lot on MMO and WoR for changes.

My normal prep for patches with new content and new arena season is the typically glyph, gems and enchanting mats.

• Glyphs

Well in the meantime, it will be the normal cycle. Post on tuesday (yeah german realms go offline on tuesday night) and wait for hysterical glyph buying after class nerf and buffs and make a lot of money. This time there will be more glyph recipes to buy from the Dalarans' Inscription Supplier and this glyphs will be hot sellers in the first week. One normal glyph with Ethereal Ink and two others with Snowfall Ink. Be sure that you set your threshold for this glyphs at you snowfall ink prices (AH price) .

• Enchanting Mats

New instances (new VoA boss 10/25, ICC 10/25, new 5man with 3 parts nhc/hc - that makes 10 new instances with loot tables) and new arena season. So everybody will get a lot of new gear for their mains and alts. So be prepared that it will take a lot of stock to keep up . But it will take the same probleme as ToC 5man. It will be easily overfarmed and a lot of groups will disenchant the new loot, so prices for Abyss Crystals will drop (in my opinion) 2 weeks after patch release cause of overdoing the new 5man instance. If you ask me, sell your Abyss Crystals before patch and only keep some stacks.

• Gems

With the new 5man instance and a lot more gear with empty sockets, you will make a lot of sells in the first 2 weeks. So get a good stock for this time. Most used gems will be the ones like before, so check armory of top PvEs and read on Elitist Jerks if you don't know what gems will be hot sellers. Keep in mind that not only "normal" epic gems will be needed. A lot of new head slot items will drop in the new instances. While the new instances are up, after one or two weeks there is going to be a big need of PvP gems for all classes. With the upcoming change there will be 25 Arena Points for the PvP Daylie, so everybody will chase a lot faster for their gear than ever before.

• Leg enchants
  

At least there will be the last big rush on Leg enchants of WotLK in the first few weeks After 2-3 weeks there will be a slower and steady income with Leg enchants, so if you want to make fast money, be prepared for a lot of new leg slot items from the new 5man.


So this is my normal setup for patches. In the next part I will talk about specific profession patches.

Day of the Dead

So another new World Event is coming this night and it is a new one to make some money.

First of all, there is a new Recipe on Vendors. I don't know if this one is BoP, but if not, don't forget to buy a few and resell them at the AH. Keep in mind that this event is only for two days (sunday/monday) so if someone will miss it, they want to buy the recipe at the AH. Just check it out.


Another point are the materials for this recipe. Bread of the Dead requires only 1 Simple Flour and 1 Ice Cold Milk. Most people don't know that Ice Cold Milk is buyable on most Innkeepers. So be prepared for a lot of morons who will buy Milk and Flour at the AH.

I hope you have a lot of fun the next two days on the Deay of the Dead

How to farm Abyss Crystals in Wintergrasp

Hi it's Metaron. As you mentioned, I don't post the topic with my name this time cause I want to try this version for posting and it looks a lot better than my last topics.

Boaah is offline for quite some time and I don't know when he returns. So I am posting on my own the next time.


Back to topic. After my last post (and Seths podcast @One Copper) about making money with fast honor grinding in Wintergrasp, I would like to mention that the buyable items on vendor are DE able. So yes you heard right. For every 5 won Wintergrasp, you will get one free Abyss Crystal (if you are an Enchanter). So if you are interessted in making some gold while PvPing, Wintergrasp would be your first choice.

Metatrons free Epic Gems

Greetings.

Todays tip is for everyone who have 30 minutes time per week for gaining 1 to 2 free epic gems.

Well it is quite simple one, but most people are not doing Wintergrasp cause of laziness, lags or an overpowerd opposite faction.

But if you invest some time for doing your Wintergrasp weeklies, you will get something around 18,6k honor (+PvP honor), 50 Stone Keeper Shards and <66g for only one Wintergrasp victory. If you purchase your honor for epic gems, then you make 200g+ for 30 minutes of work (???) and you can repeat it on all your lvl 80 alts.

So if you have some time between crafting (or while crafting^^) and camping the AH, you can make a stop in Wintergrasp for some easy to obtain money.

Hallows End

Since tonight, the Headless Horseman is in town.

Well, there are no new BoE epics for nice trades in his loottable, so you have to stick to the old version of making money like last year.

Everybody is looking for transformation to complete their The Masquerade achievement for the title. So if you play a low lvl toon on an other server and you need some starter gold, go get every hour your bag of candy and hope for some Hallowed Wands and sell your charges for 10g fee (depends on your server). So you will get some nice starter gold for professions or AH digging.

Another bigger option is if you have no interests in mounts, to run with all of your characters to scarlet monastry and kill the Headless Horseman. If you got lucky and his very rare mount The Horseman's Reins drops, you can sell your passing on this mount for some thousand gold or even roll for it and then sell it to one of your group if he realy want to have it. This way of making money requires at least a lvl80 cause nobody will take your lowlvl alts to this event when you dont have the daylie quest for calling him.

I hope you get lucky drops and have fun with slaugtherin the HH ^^
