Crusader and an Update

So a little update for all of you out there. I just hit the 30k mark! My new goal will be 50k, but I am going to splurge a little, as a present to myself for hitting 30k. I think that I am going to power level JC, just to see what it is like. I know that JC is REALLLLLY camped on my server, but I have a DK with 200 JC; so I may as well right? I also have been trying to farm for the crusader enchant lately, and I must say that I am having absolutely no luck having this drop. I must have killed hundreds of these stupid spellbinders already. Hopefully it will drop soon, cause I see these enchants going for 400g on my server all the time.

Also, I have to ask you other gold maniacs out there, what do you do with your gold? Myself, I am in love with mounts for some reason. I have been trying to get the blue proto, and the green proto since day one (with no luck). I don't have any of the other raiding protos, mainly cause I am not in a serious raiding guild. However, now that I have the gold, I am considering buying a proto run. There's is one guild on my server that sells the runs for about 30k. If I can get 80k or so, I would gladly buy the proto. So what about you? What do you like to spend your gold on? Or do you not spend any gold?

Inscription time

Anyone who has an inscriptionist knows how much time is needed to make gold. From milling to crafting to posting, its a time sink. However, I have discovered a nice little way to kill some time while milling. This only works for healers. First you get a bag full of your herbs, then queue up for a random. If the tank is capable of not getting destroyed on trash, just start milling! You would be surprised how much you can mill in one run, not to mention hitting two birds with one stone feels great! So try it out, if you have a healer inscriptionist, que up for some randoms and mill the boredom away.

Spreading out.

I know when I started this blog that I had 5000g. My Goal was to double that amount to 10,000g. Not only did I double the amount, I actually doubled it again. One reason for my success (or so I believe) is the fact that I have started to branch out into other markets.
A lot of new AH wannabees read all these blog sites, how to make gold guides, and get told that they can make millions using just one profession. You know what profession I am talking about right? Thats right, inscription. Now don't get me wrong, inscription can make good gold. However, with the countless amount of gold guides out there, just having inscription alone will not make you millions.
Having at least 3 professions is the key to making tons of gold! You can do this multiple ways of course. Some people have three transmute alchemists, while others (like myself) have three different professions, and therefore have three different markets to be involved in.
For example, some days with inscription, I will only make 300g. Not bad, since a lot of the work is AFK work. Now if inscription was my only profession, that might not be the best amount of gold per day. This is where branching into other markets comes in to place. While inscription only made me 300g that day, alchemy could have made me 500g, then enchanting could have made me 1000. Add those up, and you have almost 2000g a day. Some days one market is much better than the others.
I guess my point I'm trying to make is, the more options you have available to you, the more you have to work with. So try it out! If you only have one profession, level another, learn the market (this is key) and watch the gold roll in x2!!
