"Weekly" Update Number 2

[Shodokan]

Alright... so it isn't EXACTLY a weekly update as well it's been over a week since my last one but for those of you who are interested in my progress i figured i would continue to post about it. Although i have no real screenshots or anything to post along with this as i don't really see a point for what this is going to cover.

My progress with alchemy
I am up to 28 of my 32 toons all done!. This means the only thing that is left to do is to get them from 65 to 68... which right now i'm not so crazy about! I will eventually end up doing it with a buddy of mine but i think i'm going to hold off for at least a week before i delve back into the boringness of instance grinding.

Overall scheme of money
I'm currently sitting on 35k gold and just finished leveling jewelcrafting. Slowly this will increase by about 80 to 100k per week. I am also leveling some other professions to help maximize profit from the auction house and taking advantage of friends willing to just sell me everything they farm for cheap cheap =D.

Most of the people whom i borrowed money from or had help me have been compensated for doing so and over the next week that will be taken care of so there will be no more debt =D.

Deciding on a second group
I have had mixed feelings about the dk/rets team but i figure if anything ret paladins aren't going to change TOO much in cataclysm so i might as well go ahead and do it. I plan on doing some warlocks as well at some point.

My plans for the next 7 days
Each day will consist of 4 hours of heroics, making my 28 gems and doing some random crap. Along with leveling my dk/rets. Buying 1000 stacks of saronite ore and prospecting it is on my to-do list as well. The basic idea is to get my shaman some PVP gear and get some more gold for some things like hilts and such to make things a bit easier.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Hey Shadokan I like watching your posts but somethings you just blow my mind with... So this week I finished 5/8 alchemy 450... I literally want to paint the walls with my grey matter.. Your tolerance for pain must be through the roof! More power to ya buddy but 32 is crazy!

Your videos made me want to keep playing my dk/ret team... so thank you =D

I've only got 14 Alchemists so far (probably end up with 29).
28 is twice the gems.

Have herbs in the mail, for my first two hunters.
So the mats for the 15th and 16th Alchemists are there.
But the hunters are 63rd, after finishing Hellfire.
Won't make them alchemists until the team hits 68th, and will probably just take them to 70th and then park them (aside from transmutes) until Cataclysm.

Then do the same with the Priest team, at 60th.
And create a set of DK's, also to go to 70th.

The 2x Heirlooms + Slow Flyers have dramatically increased the leveling speed of Outland.
And I'd imagine Northrend will be a bit less of a pain.



A question for you.
How do you figure 80-100k per week?
Are you doing something besides the Alchemy transmutes?

2-3 hours of heroics per day + a bit of auctionhouse watching

Gems are worth about 50k per week after material costs (i will be doing all 8 x-mutes) each hour of heroics is worth a minimum of 1500g (assume 20 hours per week of this total) so that brings us up to 80k. My gems sell for an average right now of 175, i have them all pre-cut by a friend for 500g per week. He has 65 epic gem cuts, basically every one that is used, which i will re-sell in bulk to people. Saving them all the time cutting them etc. As it is i make about 5k per x-mute off of these 28... and only 2 of them are x-mute masters.

WTF mate? Yeah, fix that but quick. You're not just missing out on a 'little' profit there, you're missing out on 20 freaking percent of it.

From what I've researched, transmute specialization is 15% extra gems in the long term.
20 percent would be nice, and that's pretty close to 15, so that could easily be the correct number.

And that is pure profit, as there is no extra material costs involved.
And you get anywhere from 1 to 4 extras when it procs.

I'm sure you'll remedy the lack of x-mute specialization shortly.
Extra gold for free, is nice.

I'm planing ahead ... 71 primal mights so far.

Why prospect saronite instead of titanium?

[blbjtb]
