When you reach 575 you can purchase vendor recipes for the last 25 points. The Tailoring recipes are on a vendor in Vale of Eternal Blossoms;

Some of the patterns sold require Level 590 tailoring. Each pattern will set you back 1 Spirit of Harmony or 10 Motes of Harmony. Make what you want or can use the patterns range from 4 Bolts of Windwool to 8 bolts of Windwool to craft. I usually will craft Shoulders, Chest, Helm and Gloves to sell when it comes to PvP gear. Mainly for 2 reasons;

  1. These slots historically sell the fastest
  2. They serve another purpose now, Transmoging, these are the most visible pieces on your character so if players don’t buy them to cheat the LFD iLevel requirements and don’t buy them to PvP in they will buy them to Transmog. That may be justification for the first reason.

Below is the specific crafting path I took:

576 – 591: 5 x Contender’s Silk Amice +3 Skill per

  • 20 Bolts of Windwool Cloth

591 – 595: 1 x Contender’s Silk Cowl +4 Skill per

  • 10 Bolts of Windwool Cloth

595 – 600: 1 x Imperial Silk +5 Skill per

  • 8 Bolts of Windwool Cloth

At this point you need to check out this post by Nev at AHaddict to find out which Mist of Pandaria faction to work on reputation with so you can get the epic patterns. Make sure you do your Imperial Silk cool down, EVERYDAY, whether you have the patterns to use them on or not yet. You can only make one Imperial Silk per day and they are soul bound.

5 Things Not To Forget Once You’re Maxed

September 13, 2011 1 Comment

forging1 5 Things Not To Forget Once Youre MaxedThis post was inspired by one of my newer guildies. He’s quite young & although a very good player, he’s never really looked into gold making. I sent him to my blog & pointed out my blog roll. Ten minutes later on skype, he said that he’d learned something new to him & told me what it was. I was kind of surprised that he didn’t know it already because he’s a pretty smart cookie but it made me think of what else I take for granted that might not be so obvious to new goldmakers & so this post was born! I hope it helps any inexperienced readers to make some gold but also, it is a sharp reminder to the more experienced of us, not to forget some of the simpler thngs that we can do once we’re playing with our maxed professions.

 

Skinning & Leatherworking

When you first start skinning, you get a lot of Ruined Leather Scraps which I clearly remember selling to a vendor when I was totally new to game. If you don’t have a Leatherworker, you could learn it on a bank alt as converting these scraps to Light Leather is one of the very first skills you gain. Light Leather always sells for a better price than the scraps but there are also Knothide Leather Scraps, Borean Leather Scraps & Savage Leather Scraps at the higher levels which a Leatherworker can convert to their respective leathers or even, one step further into the ‘Heavy’ versions.

During Wrath, I found that Heavy Borean Leather always sold for a higher price than the normal version & so far, in Cataclysm, the same seems to be holding true for Savage Leather & Heavy Savage Leather. I used to use Heavy Borean Leather to trade in for Arctic Furs & now I use Heavy Savage Leather to trade in for Pristine Hides.

 

Mining

This was the little tip that my guildie didn’t know – bars of metal often sell for a higher price than the ore. This can work at all levels – if you think which professions use bars (Blacksmith, Jewelcrafting & Engineering as well as a few for rare Tailoring or Leatherworking patterns) then it seems to a newer player that pairing those professions with mining is an obvious choice. However, once they have maxed their Blacksmith/JC/Engineer, players often drop their mining for a second crafting profession. This leaves them reliant on the Auction House for their supply of bars & that leaves them open to paying slightly higher prices!

This can work at all levels of mining from Copper & Tin all the way upto Elementium & Pyrite ore but that’s not all. There are also a few ‘special’ bars that a miner can make – namely Enchanted Thorium Bar, Hardened Khorium, Hardened Adamantite, Titansteel & of course, Hardened Elementium.  Currently I make Enchanted Thorium (to craft & disenchant) & Hardened Elementium but as always, check your own servers’ markets. The Khorium & Adamantite are very rare on my server mainly because they are the older outdated max level items & there is not much demand for level 70 epic gear anymore. Titansteel is also the old outdated version of the current max level bar but it is used by Engineers to make the chopper/hog which is still selling for  good price on my server – there may be a market there on your server.

 

Jewelcrafting

If you have mining as well, this one can be very useful – check the prices for gems at all levels – often the lower level ores sell for a pittance whilst the gems you can prospect from those ores sell for silly high prices. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a miner, just buy those low priced ores & prospect away! If you’re not sure which ore prospects to which gems, auctioneer can add that information to your tooltip or you can check it out under ‘prospecting‘ on wowhead.

 

Tailoring

Unlike ores, converting various cloths into bolts is not quite so reliable. However, some bolts of cloth do sell very well & for me that’s the Imbued Frostweave. I would say, as always, check your own server – in the past, I had good sales with bolts of Netherweave cloth & even Wool.

The other items not to overlook in Tailoring are the Netherweave Bags (very good seller on almost every server, it’s a very common tip) but also the shirts, trousers & robes especially if you are on a Role Play server. With the introduction of Transmogrification in the next patch, there could be an upsurge in the shirts market especially if people want to colour match to their new set.

 

Enchanting

As with Tailoring, this one’s not quite so reliable but I have been having some nice profits from this one for a while now. Raid your AH for all the very, very cheap ‘green’ armor & weapons & disenchant them. You will mostly be finding the very lowest item level greens but sometimes you can pick up higher level items to disenchant to dream dust or arcane dust for example.

I’m also an alt-addict so I almost always have an alt somewhere levelling & picking up cloth as they go. For any linen & wool, if the price of the cloth on the AH is very low, I craft it into the cheapest green item I can then disenchant that. I often look for very very cheap linen cloth on the AH  & craft that too.

 

Well, there ya go, I hope this helps. Let me know in comments if you think of something I should have included here or if you try one of these tips, let me know how it goes!

Happy Goldmaking

5 Ways to Make Gold on a Low Level Bank Alt

September 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

auctioneer lady 5 Ways to Make Gold on a Low Level Bank AltAlmost every gold blog going has suggested a low level bank alt for newbie goldmakers – it’s a basic necessity when you first start out on your gold making journey. I’d also say it’s a necessity when you first start playing the game or when you want to start fresh on a new server. Having the ability to just mail everything saleable to one alt & then list it at the AH later saves so much time while questing & you maximise your profits instead of vendoring or just deleting stuff to make space!

Now I always feel the need to level my banker a little – probably because I really enjoy those first lowbie zones but also (especially on a new server) because it raises a little cash to start the ball rolling. But my banker doesn’t just sit in Stormwind, oh no – she has work to do as part of my gold making routine. I thought I’d list just a few of the things my bankers do for me & how your banker can work a little harder for you too.

1. Limited Supply Vendor Recipes & Pets

I pretty much covered this in last week’s post re the RecipeProfit addon but for my banker – she just does a run around Ironforge with an occasional side trip to Darnassus or Exodar to purchase any recipes/patterns/plans etc that are available from various vendors.

For the pets, I have found the Moth Eggs from Exodar are my best sellers with the White Kitten available in Stormwind from Lil Timmy selling for the highest price. Unfortunately Timmy is on a 3hour spawn timer so getting a regular supply of White Kittens is difficult.

2. Flipping items on the AH – Buy Low, Sell Higher

Using Auctioneer or Auctionator, you can often find some really good deals – I tend to stick with trade items like cloth or low level gems (malachite/star ruby/aquamarine  especially). I tend to stay away from armor & weapons purely because prices can vary so much, they can take a while to resell & the AH deposit fees are usually quite high. One or two relists & you could easily wipe out any profits.

3. Cooking

Yes, cooking! If you base your alt in one of the capital cities that has cooking dailies, you can do the cooking daily to get XP & some cash & spend your Chef’s Awards on the bag of Imported Supplies. Once opened, it will give you Cocoa Beans – usually 2 stacks which you can sell on the AH. Check the price of Chocolate Cookies on your server & price your Cocoa Beans just below – that way, the Cookie Makers will be able to buy your beans & still make some profits.

Obviously, if you’ve levelled your banker much higher then you can also look on the AH for meat & fish to cook up into buff foods – watch the prices for a few days before jumping in though – I find buff food prices to be very erratic on my server.

4. Inscription

This one isn’t for everybody as it does require some ‘nursing’ to get the best returns. I did a post on my own blog back at the beginning of July with a level 10 bank alt glypher – I won’t try to re-write the post here but basically, if you can get really cheap herbs on your server, you can probably make a nice profit on glyphs & Darkmoon Faire Decks.

5. Tailoring/Enchanting

Why these two professions in particular? Well I’m aiming this at people who are still levelling new characters through the lowest zones – you will pick up shedloads of linen cloth & wool cloth & although you could just sell it on the AH, I have often found that prices for a stack are ridiculously low due to the almost unlimited supply. It also doesn’t matter what professions you have on your levelling alts – they will pick up cloth anyway. However, when you use this cheap linen to make into something using your tailoring (for example, Brown Linen Pants) , you can then disenchant it & sell the enchanting materials for a much higher price.

You can also search the AH for armor & re-sort the listing to show by lowest bid price – anything below say 50silver may be worth bidding on to be disenchanted. I’ve been doing exactly this on my main server – my budget is a little higher as I have maxed my enchanting & I am looking for materials across the whole range but I am still making some nice profits. Not huge profits admittedly but that’s not actually the aim for me – I’m trying to get the Guild Achievement!

I’m sure there are loads of other ways to make gold with a low level banker – what’s your favorite method of maximising your bank alt?

Til next week

Low Level Items to Craft for Profit – Part 1

August 3, 2011 3 Comments
student kneeling to listen 300x265 Low Level Items to Craft for Profit Part 1

The student knelt to hear the teachers' quiet words

This week, I thought I’d take a look at some of the lower skill level items that various professions can craft for some decent profits. If you are just starting out on your gold journey or even your first character then this list may prove useful. None of the items sell in large quantities like the top end consumables do but they sell regularly & if you pick up the materials as cheap as possible, the profit margins can be huge.

As always, these are general tips – you need to check your own Auction House for prices of the finished item & the materials required. I would try to build a list of materials that you need & check prices regularly. If you see anything really underpriced – snatch it up quickly whether you need it today or not. Spider’s Silk is particularly useful to snatch when cheap – not only is it fairly scarce but it stops your competitiors getting cheap mats too!

Leatherworking

Toughened Leather Armor – skill level 120, learned from trainer. Perfect for level 19 twinks & anyone with a little gold to spend who doesn’t have the Heirloom chest piece yet.

Toughened Leather Gloves – skill level 135, learned from trainer. One of the earliest available ‘blue’ items & useful for its’ great stats

Tailoring

Spidersilk Boots – skill level 125, learned from trainer. Another ‘blue’ item that is perfect for twinks

Spidersilk Drape – skill level 125, learned from trainer. Also a low level ‘blue’ item, this one may not sell quite as well due to the availability of Heirloom cloaks but they do sell & at nice prices.

Alchemy

Elixir of Defense – skill level 130, learned from trainer. Used by Leatherworkers to craft the Toughened Leather Gloves – if there’s a good gloves market, these should sell pretty well too.

Transmute Arcanite – skill level 275, learned from a recipe sold in Gadgetztan by Alchemist Pestlezugg. Great profits if you snap up arcane crystals fro 1-2g.

Inscription

Certificate of Ownership – skill level 200, learned from trainer. These sell occasionally & for good profits but watch your AH before diving in

Mysterious Tarot cards (Rogues Deck) – skill level 85 / Strange Tarot cards (Swords Deck) – skill level 125 & Arcane Tarot cards (Mages Deck) – skill level 175 – these are all learned from your trainer & provide a way to use up the ‘rare’ inks that you will build up whilst crafting glyphs. If you are pricing your glyphs properly & selling those at profit, these decks can almost be counted as pure profit but don’t let that make you lazy – price them at reasonable prices (not bargain cheap prices). They sell really well when the Darkmoon Faire is in your capital city or in Shattrath but not so well when the Faire is at the opposing faction capital. You can check your in-game calender for when & where the Faire is arriving each month.

 

Next week, I’ll be looking at Blacksmithing, Engineering, Jewelcrafting & Enchanting. In the meantime, do you have any favourite low level items you sell regularly? Would you like to share them with us? Drop us a comment, always appreciated!

Small disclaimer – I’ve tried to stick with trainer taught items or unlimited supply plans/recipes. Some of my favourite low level items come from patterns that I’ve picked up while questing & learned but when I checked Wowhead, the drop rates were so low, I decided not to include them here.

Until next week then, I bid you good gold making
