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 [...]

Posted in economics, Hunter, pvp, World of Warcraft, tagged careful aim, Kirix, macros, Molten Front, patch 4.2, pet stances, pvp on July 1, 2011 | 12 Comments »
I kept starting and stopping a variety of posts because I’d find something to write about but it wouldn’t be enough for a full post. So, today, a stew of all those ingredients.
Friendly Reminders for 4.2

4.2 is allegedly and finally dropping next week. This post has some friendly reminders concerning it.
Preparing for 4.2

Patch 4.2 is following fairly quickly on the heels of 4.1 and is currently working its way through the PTR. What preparations should hunters make for it?
The Real Problem is Gold Buyers!
Posted in economics, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged buy wow gold, cheaters, farmers, gold, gold farmers, gold sellers, gold selling, hackers, rant, wow gold 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 [...]
Offtopic: In Game Event!

Hi guys, I have a real post lined up for today, but I wanted to take a moment to direct your attention to this post on Call to Auction, my other podcast. We’re doing an in game event where the prize is 20,000g! Long story short, you’ll be rolling level 1 dwarves (or gnomes… ew), [...]
Auction House Column on WoW.com!
Posted in economics, Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged AH, auction house, wow.com on February 9, 2010 | 12 Comments »
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 auction house, call to auction, economy, gold, off topic, podcast 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?
Posted in economics, Spotlight, World of Warcraft, tagged AH, auction, hit the cap, macro, mailbox, Spotlight on November 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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 abyss crystal, abyssal shatter, economy, enchanting, gold, greater cosmic essence, infinite dust, mats 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 3.2.2, abyssal shatter, crit, patch 3.2.2, patch notes, physical attack, problems, serpent sting, spell, two piece tier 9 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 3.2.2, abyss crystals, abyssal shatter, auction house, economics, enchanting, infinite dust, patch 3.2.2 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 [...]
Making Gold: Enchanting and Crafting!
Posted in economics, World of Warcraft, tagged arctic boots, borean leather, disenchant, disenchanting, economics, enchanting, gold, leatherworking, money, skinning, vendor on August 28, 2009 | 9 Comments »
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!

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 [...]
