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.

Playing Rift

Realm of the Fae Mountain Top in Rift

So lately I haven't been playing World of Warcraft as much but instead have been giving Rift more of a try.  I tried it once before when it was still in beta and while the game is interesting and is sorta fun to play, there is just some reason why I still can't seem to find myself as immersed  into the game as I did when I first picked up World of Warcraft.

Epic Gems

For awhile now I've read a number of times about epic gem predictions so here is mine.  There will be no epic gems this expansion.  Since 4.3 is going to be the last major patch of this expansion, what would be the point of adding in epic gems now?

Honestly I think just having uncommon and rare cuts are enough anyways, Though I do have a wish for rare cuts in the future, even though this is probably going to be the last expansion for me.

I think they should add a perfect cut proc to the rare gems, have the rare gems have a chance to proc something like +10 to a secondary stat.  So say you cut a 40 int gem, and it has a chance to proc 10 hit or some other secondary stat on it as well as a perfect version of the gem
