This week in review

So haven't really been to successful in actually making much gold this week.  In fact I seem to be spending more then I'm making at the moment.  Part of it is upgrading garrisons on a few of my different alts, and some it has just been playing around with different things.

One of the things I'm trying to play with is trying to buy up temporal crystals under a certain price and ignoring what my addons are telling me is the market value since I don't actually see that price very often.  I've sold a few different weapon enchants but overall I'm not sure its worth it right now.  I may just stay focused on the ring, neck, and cloak ones till I feel i'm in a better spot.

I also been trying to buy up 90 greens after hearing of a strategy involving that and re-listing them for more.  I don't know if its just to early in my attempt at this and i just need to give it more time, or is it to late in the expansion for this to work well for me.  I'm spending more on the greens then i'm making at the moment.

Phenom starts Normal Highmaul Raiding

So my guild Phenom started normal raids this week and I was almost hoping to least get the first three bosses down.  The third boss we tried was Brackspore but was wiping constantly, but then we wiped constantly on the butcher Tue before raiding again this Thur.

After we died a number of times on Brackspore one of our people wanted to move onto Tectus thinking we would have better luck but me and the guild leader where not convinced that was a good idea.

I got nothing this week, but congrats to those in my guild who did this week.  Anyone else still struggling on the first few bosses?

Been away, but came back just before warlords

Hey All,

Don't know how many people are still following my blog, not that I had many following to begin with.   But I recently started playing World of Warcraft again.  When I quit I had giving away two hundred thousand gold to a friend of mine.  I have sort of regretted doing it since I have been playing again.  But since I started again I started to try and get back into gold making.

It has been slow going since I started again.  But so far I have been doing fairly alright and almost back up to the two hundred thousand plus gold i had across my characters before I quit.  I got about one hundred and sixty thousand gold at the moment.

...so far I have been doing fairly alright and almost back up to the two hundred thousand plus gold...

My first character I got to one hundred since the launch of Warlords of Draenor has been my shaman.  and so far the most of my sold crafted goods have come from alchemy though enchanting and glyphs are starting to get up there.  I wasn't to sure about selling glyphs and still not but I'm gonna keep at it for awhile and see how that goes.

I am still looking into possible other ways of making gold this expansion, but gonna try to stick with it till I hit the gold cap this expansion.  Right now though I'm out of a job in real life so I am not entirely sure how long I will be able to keep playing right now.

Last night I looked to see what I've sold the most of and for the most profit and my two highest selling items according to TSM accounting has been tangled vines for most sold..to a vendor and draenic agility potions for profit.

I will try to post something once a week if I manage to make myself take the time.

How is everyone else making gold this expansion? what have you had the most success with so far?

Violence and World of Warcraft

I do not know much of the facts or what happened to the Gold Queen.  She was attacked not long ago by five men which has left her hospitalized.

Violence against women or anyone for that matter is something that is just not acceptable, and should never be tolerated.

I received a e-mail forwarded to me by Power Word Gold about this from someone who wanted the gold making community to post something simultaneously with a link and/or image to the white ribbon campaign.  I decided I will just go ahead and post something now.

What I've been doing

It has been awhile since I posted to this blog so just thought I'd post something quick about what I have been doing.




I haven't been able to afford to re-up my World of Warcraft account for awhile now, though I don't know if I really want to return.   Mostly just want to play with friends I have there, but not so much interested in the game anymore.



I've been playing a few games on OnLive as well as playing Bulletstorm, Fallout: New Vegas and few other games I have on my computer.  Mostly first person shooters.  There are a number of games that are already out that I want to get my hands on and some others that will be coming out.

Currently my wishlist consists of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Batman Arkham City, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Star Wars: Old Republic, Rage, Assasins Creed: Revolations, Warhammer Space Marine, Serious Sam 3, Borderlands 2 and I'm sure the list will just keep on growing.  Not sure if there is a way to post my Steam wishlist or not.

Anyways I need to find more time to actually post here, and post about what I'm doing.
