eleven :: Summer Begins

Ooops! With the busy busy-stuff of the Spring semester, I completely let the blog go and now half a year has passed already! There's been a lot that has changed and a few things that haven't. I have been playing wow mostly to make the gold and I haven't had any time to do raids or run in circles around Stormwind.

I had been using Pixelmator when editing the pictures. Now I have upgraded to Photoshop! JOY!

Let's start off with a general overview. I will need to update a lot of the pages. *Work work*

Character Changes:

• My lvl 13 bank alt has been deleted, and replaced by my lvl 76 Priest.
• Bank alt died and was reborn.... a death knight... she has risen again!
• The hunter is also gone.... and replaced with a new freshly leveling hunter... I don't see this little guy getting anywhere past lvl 20. :(
• Took a Scroll of Resurrection and boosted a warlock to lvl 80... my newest xmute slave.
• Rogue and Shaman have hit lvl 85.
• With the addition of the Warlock and Death Knight, I now have all available classes.

 2nd Gold Goal Complete! Actually, I've been over 200k for a long time now. I've been stuck around 220k for over 2 months. I spent nearly as much as I was earning, in addition to helping out a friend level not 1... not 2... but 3 professions. As well as forking out gold for epic flying training... *sigh*

Major shifts on who is holding on to the gold. The pet market is starting to blog down as new players try to get a slice of the profits.  Flipping herbs isn't as easy as before with the ever so slowly rising Herb prices. The Inferno Ruby market is still relatively stable. I also tried out the Glyph market. They are still a pain in the ass to sell since I only post 1 - 2 times a day. I am undercut nearly as fast as I can post up all the glyphs.

I have a whole summer to look forward to!

ten :: Patch 4.3 Today

Not minutes after I posted yesterday, I received rss feed from mmo-champion that patch 4.3 will go live November 29. My "too-late" feeling for stockpiling was spot on. Quick post with links to other blogs that have compiled great information to read about for the patch.

What am I going to do once I log on? (Off the top of my head)

1. Void Storage! Every one of my holiday costumes will go in there. More bag space is always a great thing.
2. New 5 man instances. Lots of new gear and start building up Valor Points.
3. Find out about epic gem transmutes.
4. Start picking up epic gem cuts on Jewelcrafter.
5. Transmog some gear. ^_^
6. Read up on Hour of Twilight raid fights for guild raid tonight.

Sadly I have my dentist appointment in about 2 hours. I will miss the start of the patch. However, I have a haunch that there will be some patching problem. Either Blizzard will extend the maintenance time or there will be tons of problems with the new instances just like it was in patch 4.2.

nine :: A Small Break from WoW & Belated Friday Overview

Oh boy, there went another Thanksgiving holiday and another Black Friday shopping rush. This is usually the time of year where you loosen your belts, suck it up, and then eat some more. However, surprisingly I didn't eat much this time even with two dinner parties back-to-back. When I slave over the stove (oven in this case) to prepare food for a lot of people, I find that I don't have much of an appetite when the dinner hour rolls around. A 22 lb turkey this year guarantees many nights of trying to creative with turkey related meals.

I also didn't get much out of Black Friday. Due to the back-to-back dinners, this year I went out much later than usual (8:00 a.m. anyone?) and didn't manage to bag any of the items that I really wanted. A new waffle maker and a knife set? All. Sold. Out. That's what I get for oversleeping! My last hope is my brother, who goes to school up in Boston. He usually goes up to NYC for Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping at the Nintendo Store. The past two years he bought me a super cute 6" Kirby Plushie - love it to death - and a Dust Mite cell phone holder (Totoro). This year I've been requesting a 12" Pink Domo Plush.  Hrmm pink seems to be my color these days.



Also, I started playing a neat app game on my iPhone called Tiny Tower. It reminds me of all the fun I had playing SimTower. Super simplified, but super cute. It's been my obsession since a friend recommended it to me on Thanksgiving. Currently at 13 floors (dun dun dun), it should be a little higher if not for the fact that I restarted my tower at least 5 times when I first started due to bad choices and trying getting the hang of the game mechanisms.

Back to WoW: Belated Friday Overview!

I managed to start bringing in a steady profit from various small items. Not a single large sale this week. So far it seems like I can average around 20-30k a week. Not exactly stellar, but it will do. Maybe in the future I will be more ambitious, but for now I am content.


Stockpiling and Inventory Efficiency

Recently, Nerf Faids posted about her personal stockpile for patch 4.3 and it made me realize that I haven't done much myself to prepare. My so called "stockpile" is like a grain of sand compared to Faids'. Way past time to get busy, I find myself wondering if it's too late to get a good stock. The patch is due to hit anytime in these upcoming weeks.

On a side note, after looking at all my character banks, I see that I have a lot of space I could utilize. Using my Priest as an example, I have filled her bank and inventory slots with 36 slot enchanting bags. She is my enchanting mats hoarder and to DE all the random greens I don't want cluttering up my raiding toon's bags. I need to do something similar with my other alts. My rogue, the miner, I can easily start stockpiling ores and bars. I currently have too many holiday items and vanity costumes. I will be a painful to toss/vendor/ah the items, but out they must go. A better use of inventory space will help with more efficient processing and leads to more gold in the long run.

eight :: Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble Gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving! These past few years, my family and I have been hosting thanksgiving dinner at our home, and roasting turkey has become our special thing. This year however, we will be celebrating at a friends place. Even then, we will still be making the turkey... no thanks to a certain someone eagerly volunteering to do so... 

Now for in game news. Yesterday, I went a little mad. Mad as in crazy. Loco, coocooforcocopuff. I became obsessively mad about having my auctions at the top of the list. Even going into undercutting wars with other auction toons. Thankfully we were all 1 copper undercutters. One thing I learned is that it's not worth it, this obsessiveness about being on the top. This morning, being super busy with preparing the food for dinner, I've only had time to post auctions before logging off. I managed to sell just as many auctions as the previous day while I was battling with prices. Post, and go do other stuff, even if you know someone else will undercuts right away. There's no reason to be so stressed about that aspect of the game.

Being undercut not withstanding, sales have been very steady recently. I have not made any crafted items, so in turn I have not made any big sales. This is a nice volume of profit in my humble opinion.
