Wrath pricing going down any time soon?

[antieuclid]

I'm a professional artist, which makes the financial side of 5x boxing a bit tricky sometimes. Basically what I've been doing is paying for chunks of game time and account upgrades whenever I have an unexpected windfall. But my main team is closing in on 68, and so far only two of the accounts have Wrath. As far as I can tell I have the following three options:
1. Come up with the $120, which is barely doable but would make other things trickier.
2. Level everyone up to 70 in Outland, and then just take the two on Wrath accounts to Northrend.
3. Level everyone up to 70, and then work on leveling other teams and chars to 70.

I'd be more inclined to go with 3 over 2 if I knew that there might be a price drop coming soon. If there's the same delay between BC's release and the release of the Battlechest, that would put it coming some time around June, but is it possible that some retailer somewhere might start putting it on sale occasionally? How long did that take after BC?

I would do option #3 instead of taking only a partial team further and leaving some behind, especially if you're going to have to do the 2 alone. Not only will you be keeping the team together, getting another team, but you'll also gain a whole bunch of rested experience for all 5 of them while you're waiting to get the last 2 accounts upgraded. Leveling with max rested in wrath is MUCH better than doing it without.

In for one fancy hat (Since my Wendy's cap just doesn't cut it.)

if you are state side or can get it offline, i've heard that bestbuy sometimes has their's on sale, so you can check them out or gamestop, which is where i get all my games from since there's no bestbuy here.

Get a part time job for 4 weeks to pay for them..?

there are so many ways to make money, its not like you dont have much time...



im sorry but i can't relate to $120 being so unattainable... for anyone

edit: unless your in school that is, which im assuming your not if your a "professional artist"

Well... He did say hes a professional artist so that is his job, and how do you know how much time he has?

on topic tho, Id go with #3, or just farm a lot of gold on your main group so you can have all epic flyers and cold weather when you hit 77, makes things so much easier.

Plasma donations can net you some cash for upgrades, depending on your weight.

I'm still getting a fancy hat. :thumbup:

I'd do 3 as well. Park em at 70, and save up a few quest turnins for when you activate wrath, so you get a decent exp boost when you first start. In the mean time, level up some alts. I have tons of random teams at various levels that I'm slowly leveling up via round robin rested exp swapping. If you had RAF, is it still going? That's the best time to level any toons you think you may want later, cause it gets even more expensive to try and do it again, either via transfers, or maintaining more accounts.

Also, what are you goals in the game? If you want to raid, or end game pvp, make saving money a priority. If you are just having fun, have fun with new toons and upgrade the last 3 accounts when you can.

Fact: If you have time to MB, you have time to get a second job to come up with a fixed cost of $120.

i dont know about major stores but i went into the bx (military convienence store) and wotlk was $40 marked down 25%. i found a mislabled one with a 50% sticker and quickly snached it up. you might want to look at stores like that. circuit city jsut went out of buisiness down here, dont know if its nationaly but theyll be liquidating if it is. i woudl think blizz would drop the prices soon though, it has been a while. anyway try those quirky little stores your bound to find something.
