Update

So I finally finished my exams and I'm finally able to start writing on this blog again instead of spending countless hours face first in books. First off, one update on the glyph market. So far sales have been going quite well. I make ~400g a day, which is not much...but it takes me ~10 min to post everything once a day. I am at about 7k gold total now! With quite a bit of IoS in the bank, so profits should still roll in.

Also, I got my DK to 80, so i'm going to start leveling JC/BS on him. I honestly don't know much about those profs money wise, but i'm down to learn.

My next post will be on what I think of priests in 3.3, including the changes to shadow!

Post 3.3 and farmers

As I am writing this, I am currently making ~700 IoS. The reason for this binge? I found the most elusive farmer! He was in trade chat just spamming, “want to sell [Adder's Tongue]”. After a quick talk, I ended up buy countless stacks for 15g!! Considering Adder's has been going for 20g on my sever, it was a pretty good deal, how could I not buy them all? Having some ink finally is making me feel better. Since 3.3 came out, I haven't bought many herbs because the price skyrocketed to about 25-30g per stack of high level Northrend herbs.

On a positive note, the fair was in town a little while ago, and since I don't actually have the bankroll yet to make cards, I sold my Snowfalls. Actually, I sold all my snowfalls for 20g each :D. Pulled in about 3k in profit in about two days, just off of the snowfalls. The glyphs have been selling at a normal rate, I am still making 400g a day in sales max. But vellums are selling like freaking hot cakes! My guess is because of the new patch and the enchanters are selling their scrolls fast.

Finally, I just want to say that in RL I have exams coming up soon, so I wont be playing much for the next week, (Microbiology, organic chemistry and cell biology have pretty much made me a hermit for the last two weeks :P ). So expect my next post next Friday by the latest!

My business...?

My business isn’t so much of a business yet, more so a tiny corner market… Well ok, more like a hot dog stand, but it’s the best damn hot dogs on the block! I am just getting started in the glyph industry. I have ~220ish glyphs known from books/daily research. Regardless I still run my business like I mean business!

The rundown- I have 3 Glyph posters: Warlock, Warrior, Mage. The warlock posts all glyphs for Death Knights, Warlocks, Druids and Paladins. The Mage posts for Mages, Shamans, Priests and Rogues. The Warrior posts for Warriors and Hunters. Why only have two glyphs for the warrior slave you ask? Well because I also sell vellums/inks/scrolls on him as well. I keep a glyph stock of 3 glyphs. I plan on increasing that amount to 10 in the near future, but right now crafting does not take too long, and I have yet to find a farmer to supply me with a steady amount of herbs.

The economy –The glyph market is a little wonky. There are literally about 5-8 heavy QA undercutters and one heavy QA Ah camper undercutter. Most glyphs sell between 3-10 gold on average, with the market resetting at least once every two days for each glyph. Herbs sell for ~15-17g. What does this mean for me? So far, it depends on how much I AH camp. I tried for a while on using gelvon’s posting method, but in two weeks I earned about 1k in gold. There are simply too many QA campers that don’t care to take a look at the market. What is confusing to me is that some of my competition seem that have a threshold of 1g. That means that they are selling each glyph for .5g (50s for parchment). However, it seems that the glyphs that are selling for that low of a price are leveling glyphs and don’t really mean much to myself anyways.

So I guess my question to you guys is, how do you run your business?

P.S I just hit the jackpot today in terms of learning new glyphs. I bought 14 glyph books for 20g each!

New in town!

Hey all! Just writing my first ever blog!

Firstly I'd like to say thanks for stopping in and checking around!!! Secondly, I'll just say a little bit about myself and this blog.

I've been playing WoW on and off since the release as a priest. Never been really good at making gold, just enough to get by. Then I started reading gold blogs, and WoW blogs in general. Soon I saw my income increase steadily by playing the AH, and being a minor part in the glyph market, (hope to be major soon!). So then after reading a ton of blogs, I decided to start my own. This blog will mainly be about a few ideas actually. First and foremost it will be about tracking my Goal (I will tell you about this later); I also plan on talking about priests and gameplay in general!

So my goal!! I start this blog now with ~2k in gold. My goal is to get to 10k. I will document my progress week by week, and hopefully hit the mark!

My question to you then is, what was your first goal when you started out trying to make gold?
