Soloing for A Treatise on Strategy

Posted in economics, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , on January 5, 2012 | 2 Comments »

Edit: The availability of A Treatise on Strategy has increased dramatically in 4.3.2 (and even drops from the new heroics now, I think), meaning that soloing for it is now probably not worth your time. A Treatise on Strategy is probably the hardest to acquire quest item for the new Darkmoon Faire, in part because [...]

The Real Problem is Gold Buyers!

Posted in economics, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , on April 29, 2010 | 47 Comments »

Gold buyers are cheaters. Nothing infuriates me more than seeing someone cheating to avoid work I’ve been doing. It gives me that feeling you get when someone blatantly cuts in line in real life. When I tell people that I play the AH, I get incredulous stares and hear things like “Who needs gold?” and [...]

In case you didn’t catch this at the source, I’ll be writing an auction house column at wow.com. I’m nothing if not tenacious :P This won’t reduce the amount I write about hunters on outdps.com, so don’t worry!

Side Project: Call To Auction!

Posted in economics, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , on January 21, 2010 | 3 Comments »

I figured people didn’t want to have their pristine flow of hunter information sullied by such mundane things like gold, the auction house, and game economics. So I started a new podcast with Markco from JMTC and Faeghleis called Call To Auction. The first two episodes are up, and the third has been recorded. We’re [...]

Do You Auction in Stormwind?

If so, you should check out this tip I found at Hit The Cap, one of my new favorite places to read about warcraft auctioneering. You can use it to stand right next to the mailbox in stormwind and be able to use the AH without having to run in. Now I know that this [...]

Mini Econ Post: Abyssal Shatter Live!

Posted in economics, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , on September 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

According to MMO-Champion, Abyssal Shatter is live on EU realms, and presumably will be live soon on US realms. Abyssal shatter lets you break an abyss crystal into some more pedestrian mats: infinite dust and greater cosmic essences. This means that the price for abyss crystals might start raising again, after the ridiculous drop they [...]

Patch 3.2.2 Troubles!

Posted in economics, Hunter, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , on September 22, 2009 | 7 Comments »

At this point, it looks like that despite what the patch notes say, the two piece tier 9 bonus is still not critting like a physical attack. [edit: thanks Frost!] It does work with mortal shots, however. Update for sep 24th: They did something last night- everything is now working properly. Serpent sting is now [...]

Short Enchanting Economics Note!

Posted in economics, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , on September 18, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Patch 3.2.2 will bring about the ability to shatter abyss crystals. This is very probably in response to the massive decline in prices that crystals went through once people realized that a good 5 man group could run regular ToC and reset it as many times a day as they want, disenchanting all the purples [...]

I posted the podcast and a guide yesterday, so I figure I deserve a hunter break. Instead of a link to the fail blog (oops), I figured I would write the next installment in my series about how to fund your raiding habit.

Making Gold: The Art of Arbitrage!

Posted in economics, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 16, 2009 | 4 Comments »

As promised, here’s something to keep your whistles wet. I don’t normally write on weekends, but since I don’t see myself needing more than one non-hunter post a week, weekends are when I have room for gold making. Arbitrage is the act of helping goods flow from one market to another, ideally taking advantage of [...]

Here is my gold making 101 introduction post. This is a bit of a shift from my regularly scheduled content, but as was eloquently stated in a comment in my last post, “as a raider I need to fund my habit” :) These posts will be tagged and categorized separately from the regular nonsense firehose [...]
