Back in Action!

Its been a crazy few weeks. Between work and raiding I had little time for my extra activities. In fact some days went by that I had NOTHING on the AH, blasphemes I know.

But things are starting to settle down so I have begun to research the recent and upcoming changes in anticipation of more gold making.

In the meantime, here is a post I was working ok a few weeks ago before life decided to head-butt me:

I have been in process of investigating different ways of profiting using my professions, today I should be able to get another Gem Cut and I plan on purchasing a PVP Gem cut to see if I can get a nice price from cornering the PVP Gem market.

In the meantime I have been focusing on my JC and Enchanter.  Kreaton over at Not So Secrect Society, has posted a nice post regarding the green gems and their various uses. I myself have been reviewing green gems and over the past 3 days I have done a little research and a little spending.

Monday, elementium ore was down to around 3.7 per ore or 74g per stack. One single person had posted over 500 stacks at this price. I almost couldn’t help myself. I ended up purchasing about 50 stacks.

Investment So far:  approx. 3,700

I prospected it all and after it was all said and done I received an average of 10 of each blue gem and 40 of each green gem (I haven’t seen anything official but I wonder if Nightstone proc-rate has been increased? I received almost 45 nightstones, the most of any green gem).
The Jade, Alicite and Carnelian’s stayed with my JC and I crated the Jade Rings, Alicite Necks and Carnelian Spikes (I ended up proc’ing 1 Blue Jade Ring and 2 blue alicite necks).  Once complete I sent all the items to my Enchanter to DE, with the exception of the Blue Items – which were sent directly to my banker.

After I was done, I took all the Dream Emerald’s and cut them into Lightning Dream Emeralds, which are going for about 375g per on my server.

After the crafting of the Gems, I DE’d the items and sent them to my banker to begin posting. I spent about 45 minutes total doing this, and was afk half the time cooking dinner.

The final auctions have sold and I have netted approximately 31,257 g.
Investment – 3,700g
Return – 31,257g
Profit: 27,557g

Not too shabby.

Patch 4.0.6 Prep!

Patch 4.0.6 has hit the PTR and many changes are gold making opportunity’s waitng to happen!
First off, META Gems
New Meta Gem cuts will be available, each of these gem cut require at least 3 Red Gems – I expect Red Gems both raw and cut to have an increase in price as people re-gem their gear, Orange and Purple may also have a increase, but I don’t think it will be as high as Red. Also the old meta gems (Chaotic and Relentless) have been changed to require red gems as well.

A new Dream Emerald Cut will also be available, so you may want to save a few JC Tokens so you can buy it right away (this is a PVP Gem so this will depend on if there is a PVP market on your server).

I am not dead…

Just really, really busy. Between raiding 4 nights a week, working 6 days/65 hrs a week and attempting to make some gold in between I have been slammed. I am drafting a few blogs for next week and hopefully my schedule settles a little and I can continue my normal routine.

Hope you’re having luck in the wow and more importantly, having fun :)
