The Sleeper has Awakened
Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken. In my slumber I’ve noted changes, performed experiments (for science), all the while building up more assets. In the process I’ve also been clearing out my storage as noted in last weeks post (this goes hand in hand with my building of assets), for example the Druid on my second account is an enchanter.
Wait isn’t Khaas an Enchanter? Why do I need a second?
Simply put, it’s much more expedient to craft items with my alts and store them in my guildbank, then grab and DE them with an alt. Since I’m dual boxing my gold now it’s perfectly possible for my to toss items in there with my main account and DE them on another screen while crafting another large batch of de fodder. It’s all about the best use of my time. And it offers the me the freedom to drop enchanting on Khaas should I feel the urge to in the future (which I doubt).
But while we’re on the subject of enchanting I would like to bring attention to something I’ve found quite interesting, old world enchanting mats are selling well. While grinding my Leatherworking skill up on my Rogue I was disenchanting and grinding enchanting on my second account as suggested above, the excess was then listed in the AH. Some of these old world enchanting mats were pretty poor on the return, but there were definitely a few notable exceptions Greater Eternal Essences were particularly profitable.

The things have been moving like mad, and I’ve been playing around with the best ways to generate piles of them. Expect to see a post on this sometime in the near future…
The Spice Must Flow
Another interesting development. See, most of the time when something “odd” happens on the Auction House happens, I get blamed for it. And there is definitely precedent for that, but there are times when I had nothing to do with it, for example: this week Saronite Bar prices went berserk. No, I’m not talking double “normal prices” I’m talking as much as 5 times what people expect to see in the AH. There’s several possible reasons for this, one Blizzard released Warden 2.0 which means a lot of botters are in hiding, which means less cheap Bars available…
Another possibility is that someone else is trying my scorched earth technique, trying to limit material goods needed for a variety of items. Either way, what kind of Goblin would I be if I didn’t profit from someone else’s work? I’m not going to go full disclosure on this one (just yet), but rest assured this should prove interesting.
Here’s a recent scan of Ore and Bars:


In the interest of brevity, let me just say that I’m back in business. I don’t expect to be showing any real positive numbers just yet as I’m still reinvesting into the empire. But, it’s only a matter of time before I run out of characters to power level professions on. Also, I have a new side project that I will be talking about at length soon, let me just say that I’ve started working a third account. This time however I’m playing on the Alliance side of Bloodscalp (No, I’m not rerolling, Horde is my home) but there’s a big disparity between horde and alliance populations on Bloodscalp, and I want to see what I can do there without cross faction trading. Also, I want to play with friends of mine in Draconic Savant when able. As for Face on Fire? We’re still recruiting, still killing bosses and despite a few setbacks, we’re doing well. So, if you want to raid Tues and Thurs, give us a look.
Anyhow, that’s it for this week. Thanks for reading…
