Save those voids

[Schwarz]

So recently on azgalor the enchanting mats market has taken a tank. I think large prismatics are going for around 13g or less. I was thinking this morning about what mats I could save up to try and get a jump on enchanting.

According the this it goes green at 400. I am going to try to get around 50 void crystals saved up to power enchanting from 375-400+. Something to think about with the expansion not far away.

Hey! Tell your guild to have boxer love! they still hate my shamans and they are taking it out on my hunters XD wait till they are 63+ then they can jump on their 70s when they get ganked and bring their friends XD

yeah, i see what your saying about the market crash, but honestly there will be better recipes to enchant with past 375, spending 50+g a stat and once yellow not a guaranteed stat seems overkill.

I am up to my eyeballs in large pris and would be in void crystals if I didn't sell them off. The way that I am looking at it is I already have these mats. You might be able to make a nice profit off the new dust from all the greens you de from wotlk.

Zero Tolerance has some love for multiboxers. Another multiboxer joined the guild and is leveling a priest/pally/warlock/2 mage team. I think it is just alliance they hate ;-)

Honestly i dont think this is smart.
Remember when BC came? OH, ARCANE DUST. Had fucking shitloads, with 1 charakter. Imagine with 5.
You will have so mutch dust/whatsoever, there aint gonna be a problem leveling up at ALL, until the last 10 skills.

It really depends if you are willing to invest long term, or prefer to see your profits within a 1 month time window.

Look at the prices of vision dust now, they are about 4x more than arcane at the moment on most servers i'm aware of, simply because of lack of supply.

Once the DK's have powered their way through Outland most BC enchant mats will steadily increase in price. That said, voids arent exactly that useful for levelling, so i dont seem them moving too much in price.

I'm thinking the same thing though. I've actually played the LPS market for a long time, and made a lot of money doing. But now, like the OPs server, mine's tanking. I've decided to just keep them all and file them away until they are like the LBS are now.

I am a pack rat and most of my assets in WoW are in Raw material form. Usually when I need cash, I may dip into those raw materials and liquidate them for gold, But with my 5 shaman team, liquid assets haven't been an issue for me at all with 1200-1500g a day income from dailies.

With that being said, Tradeskill income isnt really something that really pertains to multiboxers too much. Being able to simply go and farm instances for ourselves, we are never really too hard pressed with needing too much gold.

Most of the rich single boxers who are fairly affluent tend to invest heavily in tradeskills and peddle their wares in shattrath or ironforge pre bc. As most of the people who played Burning Crusade knows, the people who got their jewelcrafting up, regardless of how much money they invested, they made everything back in 20-30 folds. I expect the same results with WoTLK. Inscription, for the first half year or so, will net rediculous amounts of income and even more so if you have a rare recipe. This also pertains to tailoring for the cooldown cloths, alchemy for the transmutes, and possibly leatherworking.

So when the expansion comes out, everyone will be in a mad rush of sorts to either get character levels or tradeskill levels. Because no one will have actually gone out to Northrend yet, there will be 0 Northrend items to level tradeskills off of. This means everyone will be leveling their tradeskills of existing raw materials from Burning Crusade. Thus spiking the demand for said raw resources and increasing the prices. From previous experience from pre bc to bc, I would suggest unloading some of the raw materials you know will not be used in WoTLK before WoTLK comes out and holding unto the stuff you know will be used, and selling them after WoTLK comes out.

Some of the stuff that I have seen that will most likely be used are:
Adamantite
Heavy Knothide
Large Prismatics
Void Crystals
Pretty much all herbs
And to be on the safe side, I would suggest stocking up on at least a stack of all primals if you are planning to do tradeskills.


TLDR: Save all yo' shit foo.

edit: Large Brilliant prices sky rocketed early BC when people could not solo level 60 instances easily. I assume the same will be applicable if there is a recipe that requires a steady amount of large prismatic shards. Of course this is all in the short run. Prices will drop for everything Pre WoTLK because of the ease of farmability of said items, but until then, the short market is going to be very profitable. and in wow economy, the short market is really all that really matters because nothing is solid in the long run.

I'm kindof the opposite opinion to many here.

Liquidate EVERYTHING.

Get your skills up to 375, then pack up to powerlevel inscription. Then sell, sell, sell. About a month ago, I had a stack of primal mights 2-3 stacks of every primal, 4-5 stacks of every outland herb, 5-6 stacks of voids and prismatics, over a dozen stacks of dust and half a dozen essences, stacks of every ore, bar and gem imaginable, and I got rid of most of them. Once the xpac hits, everyone will want some of this stuff to skillup, sure, so you'll make a bit right away, but then it's useless, and you'll be stuck with selling items for half price or less. Making matters worse, DK's will be leveling mostly in outland. Provided they can skillup enough to gather in outland, you'll see an market shift of old world items as they powerlevel gathering and crafting professions, then more outland items as they level through to 68 that no one really will want. The smart people will have all the mats saved to powerlevel DK crafted professions, going from 1-375 in a day (I have inscription and JC mats sitting on an alt atm) so they won't be buying anything, just selling.

It is not what you think, it is understanding what others think and how they act that is key. It's be proven time and time again that the majority of players do not plan ahead and invest half or even a 3rd of the amnt of gold they'll need long term. JC when TBC came out, Season 3 and Season 4, and inscription in Wrath. Massive price gouging opportunites to double your investment every time. AT 3.0 time it'll be herbs (ofc), then in Wrath it'll be general prof levelling mats for DK alts or mains, particularly ores/bars as many will become JC's, Blacksmiths and Engineers.

@Fur: interesting about LBS on your server, they are still at a healthy 7-11g on all the servers I play the AHs on. Voids run for about the same... and isn't it a little patronizing to assume that people havent even heard of them?

Do you have downs sindrome?
