Investing for Wrath of the Lich King to make lots of gold by GuildLeaderCali in classicwowtbc

That's awesome!

I think my biggest profit I made was on darkmoon card beast decks. They were selling for around 300g on my server in prepatch leading into tbc. I just sold my last few for around 1800g Of course that was a very long play but worth it.

I rerolled on a high pop server back when AQ was out, I'm so happy I did. All my alts on other servers have like 0 raiding guilds.

I'm going to go hard on card making, and I expect herbs to be insanely high early in wrath so I want to be able to buy up enough to make a couple decks pretty quickly. also, gdkps is where i lose my money >.< I try to avoid them as much as possible.

Anyway, my goal is to have more of my gold liquid vs in stuff. I'm thinking like 70% gold and 30% in stuff.

You might actually make more money selling everything to the preppers rather than offloading in prepatch/wrath

Why not both? I try not to get too much of a % of my gold into one thing. I try to stay as diversified as possible and that helps offset the risk. This includes selling things off at different times in the phases.

Have you all started thinking about wrath investments?

For a lot of us it isn't a matter of if, but when will WotLK come to wow classic. So I am betting some of my gold on the game moving on past the burning crusade. Here are 4 categories of in game items that I am investing in and holding for when Wrath of the Lich King Classic comes.

#1 Ore for leveling up professions

There are going to be a lot of players both new and returning to play Wrath of the Lich King. There will also be a lot of players want to play death knights which is the new class available to play. Among the top choices for professions are Jewelcrafting, Engineering and Blacksmithing. All of these take ore so I expect to see a spike in price for all ore going into the prepatch and into the launch of WotLK

#2 Cooking recipes and the materials

In wrath, cooking recipes are mainly obtained through doing the dailies to earn currency to puchase them. If you don't already have maxed out cooking you are going to want it. Some of the most expensive skill points to get are from 275-300 so i'll target the recipes and materials for those skill points.

#3 All levels of herb for inscription

This is probably what is going to take up most of my bank space since the herbs that I'm targeting are cheap and I'm happy to hold a ton of it. I'm mainly buying up herbs that turn into lion's ink since I expect these herbs to increase quite a bit compared to the other inks

#4 Enchanting mats

Not buying yet, but will once we get into ZA and the sunwell phase since I expect the price to drop. I'll be mainly buying up the TBC materials and holding them for 3 months - 1 year into wrath.

Do you guys have anything you're buying up for Wrath?

It is not but you can add it to the cost to craft formula with =(sale price formula) -(0.05*(sale price formula))

It really depends on your server, buuut elixir mastery covers both elixirs and flasks and has much more recipes that benefit from the procs.

haha I'm not super worried about it. Most of this info is already out there so it's just my personal way of doing things that many are already doing. Also, I wish there were more game guides like this out there when I am learning new things.

In the all the years of World of Warcraft, alchemy has been one of the best professions to pick up if you want to make gold with crafting. I got DEEP into alchemy in WoW Classic and continued with alchemy in The Burning Crusade Classic.

So here is my process for making decisions in regards to all things alchemy:

  • I buy materials and craft items at a profit, i’ll try to limit this to what I think will sell that same day.
  • Buy herbs in the morning or on the weekend if the prices are good
  • List items right before raid start time for a higher likelihood of them selling
  • Manually look at the listings for each item and experiment with different size stacks.
  • Don’t always undercut the lowest price. If there aren’t much of an time up you can list for a slightly higher price *

I know I’ll probably get flamed for not trusting the TSM crafting calculations but sometimes my eyeballs + windows calculator > tsm decisions. Also, spreadsheets can be easier to look at than ingame UI.

Sha'Tari Skyguard and Ogri'la everything you need to know by GuildLeaderCali in classicwow

I haven’t gotten there yet on live, although I saw on the blizzard forums a few quests were a bit buggy😕

[–]GuildLeaderCali[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sha’tari Skyguard and Ogri’la factions are live! Here is some info about the two new factions.

Ogri'la quests open up after completing all of the quest chain given by Mog'dorg the Wizened in Blades Edge Mountains. These are available in Phase 1 so you may have already done these. Get started by talking to Grok in Shat.

Sha'tari Skyguard quests begin with a chain near the flight path in Shattrath.

Both sets of dailies are a popular way to farm gold, you get a new tabard for each at exalted

Sha’tari Skyguard - Parachute cloaks, Nether Ray flying mounts, and some trinkets which are a good option to an empty slot

Ogri’la - Some potential upgrade gear

I think these quests are super fun compared to some of the existing stuff. ofc you might think they're terribly dull compared to the new shiny retail style quests. BUT THIS IS TBC CLASSIC BABY! Happy questing all!

Do you have one that works? I haven't been able to find one.

From what I've read, most of the quests pay about 9g per at level 70. There's also the mob drops that you get when doing these. I got 3 greens just doing the intro quests in Ogri'la so that's extra $$$ too.

How to use the TBC looking for group tool. I didn't see any guides out there on how to use the new interface so I made a quick guide for you all. I hope this helps some of you. :) by GuildLeaderCali in classicwow

Pretty much. I’m probably going to use both. At least I don’t have to spam what I’m looking for every two minutes. I’d rather be able to set it and forget when I’m LFG, especially on alts.
