That Time Of The Month Again...

I am talking about Darkmoon Faire it is back, hopefully fellow WoWers have quest to pass in and their Grisly Trophy quest completed. Don't forget you can do the profession quest every time the Darkmoon Faire comes around plus the game dailies.

You can read my hubpage which has more detailed info if you are new to learning about the Darkmoon Faire

This is not all though today starts "Love Is In the Air" which comes around every February as a world event. I had a busy day at work so today I won't get any fishing in.

However, the rest of the week should be an easy one and I should get lots of questing time in.

Gold Farming In The Mechanar, Gold Made

Well now that my auctions have ended we can see how much gold I made and what didn't sell. From my auctions that sold I was able to make 112 gold. Not to bad I suppose. My Bottled Nethergon Energy did not sell and my Don Santos Famous Hunting Rifle did not sell. Sadly after my rifle went up 2 others appeared with much lower prices.

It is time to take a look though and see what was made. The run itself took me a little over 30 minutes so we may as well round it off to 40 minutes or so.

Looting: 38 gold
Vendor Trash: 9 gold
Magic Armor/Weapons: 43 gold
Auctions: 112 gold

Total: 202 gold

Well this does not seem bad really but you can't make this type of gold unless your high enough level to solo the dungeon. This way you get all loot to yourself.

Gold Farming In The Mechanar

I decided to solo a random dungeon today, I went to Netherstorm and tired The Mechanar. It was not to bad I had a 2 BOEs drop and one was purple, Don Santos Famous Hunting Rifle.

From looting the corpses I got 38 gold. 3 of that gold goes to quest I did which only paid me a gold a some silver.
I was disappointed that I got hardly any Netherweave Cloth, I only was able to get 43 pieces. I guess some instances just pay out better then others.

What I got:

- 43 Pieces of Netherweave Cloth
- 25 Sunfury Signet
- 1 Arcane Tome
- 13 Mark of Sargeras
- 4 Greens
- Don Santos Famous Hunting Rifle (BOE)
- Pauldrons of Surging Mana (BOE)

Before I get sorting the big stuff I always sell my vendor trash first. After selling my vendor trash I made an additional, 9 gold. Not very much at all but that is ok.

Now becomes the hard decision of if I should disenchant the soulbound items or sell them and the greens. The last few days I checked the AH the prices were terrible on outland enchanting materials.

After looking at the prices on the AH I decided it was best to vendor trash these items to get the gold they are worth, I wouldn't disenchant enough for a stack of arcane dust which was selling for 38 gold. Upon selling my greens and soulbound items I made 43 gold from selling those off.

With my Netherweave I decided to tailor 2 Netherweave bags since I would make more gold. I know everyone can't make the bags out of Netherweave. If I was selling the 2 stacks of cloth I would make 20 gold (not including AH cut) By doing the bags I will make much more then that.

The hunting rifle also has a tough choice as I could of given it to my hunter. I am trying it at 3k so it may and may not sell. I am hoping since it seems a bit rare it will bring in some cash.

Here is the auctions:


I have them all set for 48 hours, so once they sell I will do a thread and let you know the total profit. I didn't keep entire track of how long the instance took, I beleive it took roughly 30 minutes almost though.

Enchating Drops, Price Drop?

Today I decided I wanted to run through Hellfire Ramparts on my mage to collect some cloth and items to disenchant. I made the big mistake of not checking auction prices before doing this. Take a look at the pictures below. I can remember a time when these items sold for a lot. Now I am thinking this is temporary! But if not, then well that sucks.




Now I have to wonder if all servers are having this issue. Not that it is an issue, but enchanting had been a nice profit for my mage and it seems like only very high level enchanting mats are selling.

A stack of Arcane dust was selling for 25 gold on Mok'Nathal where as on my home server it was selling for 42 gold. Small Prismatic shards had a difference of maybe 80 silver in price.

In the past I have seen prices drop and come back, in this situation I hope that is all it is. My mages main source of gold comes from selling enchanting supplies, doing dailies and fishing.

Now here is her auctions:


Some of these items normally sell for a higher amount, however I took what I could and put them up even at the slight decrease in price.

One suggestion I will make, if you notice a huge price drop do not put the item up, I do save some items for later auctions. The last thing you want to do is lose 20-30 exrta gold.

Leave a comment if you have seen a drop in enchanting prices on your server, would be interesting to know.

More Fishing Fun... (Continued)

As promised I would post my results for selling the items I got from fishing up "Sealed Crates" on Darkmoon Island.



Don't you just love logging in and seeing that all of your auctions sold. The best part about it is that I am making gold and increasing my skill in fishing as well. So it is a win/win situation.

I did the math and here is the result, I made $974 gold. Not bad and all of my auctions sold that day! So it all went fast :)

I have not taken a low level character to fish yet and see what they would get, I am sure I only got "sealed crates" because I was fishing on a level 85 character. Either way it works out...

Now there is a con though. A LOT of other people are buying those water walking potions and doing the same as me. If you want to make gold at this, try and get on the server when less people are doing it!
