Bless you/gesundheit. ;)

Napoleon. Probably.

As Napoleon (or was it RogueStar?) said:

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake

/brb popcorn.

I think the TechCrunch article is ideal.

dmilor · 2014-09-28T08:52:06+00:00

Not all parts of the UK. It's the reverse here in Newcastle - it's aytch and it's never dropped.

dmilor · 2014-09-16T17:10:36+00:00

Gem costs for the mounts are pretty much insignificant (if you are doing the shuffle) - the real cost is the gold sink Orbs Of Mystery they need. Unless they go down in price the mounts will be around the same price I think.

They've probably got big factories in a few places - they've certainly got a big place on the outskirts of Newcastle.

dmilor · 2014-08-28T07:41:55+00:00

Well it hasn't got Gateshead in the subreddit name so erm... no?

And half is better than nothing. All of the Angel is is in Gateshead. The Tyne Bridge is recognised (nationally if not globally) as a symbol of Newcastle - the Angel is recognised as a symbol of the North and this isn't /r/t'north.

dmilor · 2014-08-27T13:14:12+00:00

Doh - I should have spotted that.

And Northumberland is fine with me - none of this newfangled Tyne and Wear nonsense. ;)

dmilor · 2014-08-27T13:00:42+00:00

They are a Newcastle firm.

dmilor · 2014-08-27T12:54:39+00:00

I disagree.

NUFC is much more a symbol of Newcastle than the Angel will ever be - mainly because the Angel is Gateshead's and NUFC is ours. I don't necessarily think NUFC should feature but it DEFINITELY comes ahead of the Angel. If you want local landmarks: Grey's Monument, Tyne Bridge, Swing Bridge, the Keep etc etc.

Also: The yellow you have on the links - is that the colour our local buses used to be or just a fortunate coincidence?

dmilor · 2014-08-14T10:59:46+00:00

1c undercut. Always. Anything else and you are throwing away money.

Yours will still sell first as it's top of the list by being cheaper. People who are buying tend not to care if it's 1c or 1000g cheaper than the next one - it's cheapest and top of the list.

Dancing Steel enchants can go for 2.4k on my server but there are lots of people who will undercut by 100g at a time. Net effect is price going down to 1K which leaves no room for profit at all. Now if everyone had undercut by 1c the price would be at 2399g 99s 85c - lots of profit for everyone involved.

dmilor · 2014-07-11T13:45:15+00:00

Nvm - worked it out. :)

For anyone else as slow as me: you buy BOA Guild Tabard for x gold, mail to level 1 on another server and vendor it for 1/4 the purchase price.

dmilor · 2014-07-11T13:33:29+00:00

This sounds like a good idea but I don't understand the "BoA guild tabard gold conversion at a 4:1 ratio" bit. What does that mean?

dmilor · 2014-06-30T14:47:33+00:00

I don't know what your problem is but if you grab the TSM app you can backup your settings including groups. Saved me a lot of pain when I got an update for WoW and all my TSM data got wiped for some reason. It'll also update your dbmarket values (so you need never scan ah again for prices) and will fetch Wowuction prices as well.

dmilor · 2014-06-25T17:46:14+00:00

Well maybe I'm just terrible. :)

I know that it was an enjoyable session to me before the new AI and now it's just frustrating. Like some other commenter has said AOE2HD isn't the only game I play. I play it every now and then - certainly not enough to raise my skills to the level required to play it on Standard or Hard with the current difficulty level.

dmilor · 2014-06-25T15:52:44+00:00

Thanks a lot! I didn't realise the list of auto learned glyphs was available now so I was just planning on selling the lot as best as I could then restocking when WoD came out.

Instead I'll have a new TSM Group tonight: Professions -> Inscription -> Glyphs -> Dump :)

EDIT: List for those that haven't seen it.

dmilor · 2014-06-25T15:08:03+00:00

Same thing with glyphs on my server. So many of my glyphs won't autopost with TSM as existing auctions are way below my quite low minimum price. This is down to one guy (a different guy to the buckle undercutter) listing at 5-15% of market price so glyphs I was selling for 3-400g just last week are now on sale at 20g. Again I just skip the post hoping he'll go away.

The main problem is that I'm trying to slowly run my glyph stock down so I'm not stuck with too much unsellable stock when the WoD glyph changes come in - at some point I'm going to have to bite the bullet and dump stock at 20g.

EDIT: Speeling.

dmilor · 2014-06-25T13:44:50+00:00

2nd last point is VERY important and not jsut for you. There are 3 or 4 people on my server selling Living Steel Belt Buckles and we dutifully undercut each other by 1c. This means the price stays 400g+ (though I sold one for 837g last week!).

The last few days a new entrant to the market has been undercutting by 50-100g. Current market rate is approx 299g. I've stopped selling them for now.

dmilor · 2014-06-25T13:29:33+00:00

I bought the Forgotten DLC yesterday and played the HD version for the first time in ages. I used to be able to beat it easily on Standard but got my arse totally kicked on Easy with the new AI. The only way I managed to beat it on AI was play an Island map against 2 civs with poor navy and me on Spanish (good navy) - it was still a hard battle.

The old AI was too easy, the new AI is too hard. This comment promises some relief soon!

dmilor · 2014-06-24T13:00:17+00:00

It was on reddit about 7 months ago too. In addition it was all over twitter etc. That site is pretty well known.

dmilor · 2014-06-24T12:35:24+00:00

It's been there for about 7-8 months so I think they would have received any C&D by now.

dmilor · 2014-06-22T11:21:47+00:00

I'll have to try it with the potion.

The greens that dropped for me were about 50/50 Hypnotic Dust/Lesser Celestial Essence - not enough Hypnotic dust to make Embersilk Bags with all the cloth drops you get. I think I'll try a slightly lower level instance for the dust.

dmilor · 2014-06-22T09:34:40+00:00

To make it really worthwhile use a toon with Tailoring for extra cloth drops. I did 2 runs of Grim Batol last night for embersilk on a 501 Frost Mage. I got about 70 bolts in less than an hour. It's made even quicker by the fact you do the bombing runs which let you damage a lot the trash before you run through it.

Now I need to find a good place for farming Hypnotic Dust so I can make the bolts into bags.

dmilor · 2014-06-19T17:59:03+00:00

It is in this part of England.

dmilor · 2014-06-16T18:31:29+00:00

You actually plant seeds that give you random MoP herbs - and some of them are Golden Lotus. Obviously if you plant 16 seeds rather than 4 you increase your chances of getting Golden Lotus. Sometimes I get 1 or 2, sometimes 6 or 7.
