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 [...]

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 [...]

The Hunting Party Podcast, Episode 14!

Posted in Hunter, Hunting Party Podcast, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 17, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Hi folks! This week, Darkbrew, Frostheim, and I have the distinct pleasure of interviewing Kripparrian, the hunter with the most DPS records. In case you’re wondering how that works, if you go to worldoflogs.com and look at hunter DPS or damage done benchmarks, it’s his name you’ll see there most often. Kripparian is a hunter [...]

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 [...]

Making Gold: Enchanting and Crafting!

Posted in economics, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , , 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!

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 [...]

Branching out!

Posted in Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , on August 14, 2009 | 14 Comments »

I started this blog to write about PvE hunters. I then brought in a writer for PvP, who has been well received. In the interest of minimizing the number of “couldn’t think of anything today, so here’s a link to something funny” posts, I’ve decided to look into writing economic guides. I read the blogs [...]

Making money farming eternals!

Posted in Offtopic, Resources, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I haven’t needed to farm elementals in a while, but if the prices keep going up at the rate they’ve been, I might have to start again. I looked into it, and I figured I would share some of the wisdom I’ve gleaned.

3.1 Money!

Posted in Offtopic, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , on March 31, 2009 | 4 Comments »

OK, short post today because I have to get cracking offline. When 3.1 hits, you have a large opportunity to make money. All the new gear that starts to drop from Ulduar as well as the changes to all the trade skills are going to mean economic shifts. If you’re on the right side of [...]

Spending money on DPS! (consumables)

Posted in Resources, Survival, World of Warcraft, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on March 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Just a short post today because I’m working on a massive guide (with screenshots!) on how to use the dps spreadsheet. What’s one of the largest differences between end game content today and end game content in burning crusade? Aside from the obvious stuff, if you check your gold carefully at the end of a [...]
