***QUESTION***
 
Hi Tony! I’ve been using your strategies in WoW for quite some time
now, and it’s been working like magic: my guild is closing in on
Deathwing 25 Man and my bank gold has almost tripled!!! YEAH! My
guildies have really started to take notice and begun to nag me for
my secrets (i’m trying to keep them all to myself though muahahah
*evil laugh*)
 
As an avid trader in the Auction House, I was wondering what your
take was on the new Epic Gems in Patch 4.3 and which gems I should
be focusing on, in terms of trading for profit?
 
Cheers

**************
 
Hey JJ,
 
You’re in luck, I just finished an article on how to make a fortune
with Epic Gems and since you asked for it, here it is!
 
How To Make A Fortune With Epic Gems
 
It was obvious months before Patch 4.3 hit that epic gems would be
making their appearance in Cataclysm’s final, major patch of the
expansion.
 
New Jewelcrafting vendors have been introduced in the game with
Epic Cut Patterns, which can be bought with 5 Illustrious
Jewelcrafter’s Tokens which is equivalent to 5 day’s worth of
dailies. Opportunists can take a risk and learn a random cut by
purchasing a Tome of Burning Jewels, which required only 4 tokens.
 
Without a doubt, this new vendor will have a tremendous impact on
the jewelcrafting profession — and, with any luck, a tremendous
positive impact on your in-game bank account as well.
 
At the moment, Auction Houses across all servers are experiencing
high trade volume over these in-demand items as every player
regardless of skill level wants to have their gear decked out in
epic gems. Unfortunately, many do not have the gold or access to
the gems and this is inflating the price of uncut epic gems to
astronomical heights.
 
Identifying the Profitable Gems.
 
The fact of the matter is, not all gem cuts are created equal. Past
events have shown that only a few cuts will see serious trading
action, mainly the Bold Queen’s Garnet and the Brilliant Queen’s
Garnet which bestow +50 Strength and +50 Intellect to their
respective sockets. Others, like miscellaneous Deepholm Iolite
cuts (the new blue epic gem), will see weak demand at best.
 
The fact that each Gem color has about 6 cuts on average, requiring
5 days worth of dailies make it absolutely imperative that you
identify the most popular cuts to trade on. Most players are an
impatient lot, and when they get a new piece of gear, they will
waste no time in gemming it for maximum performance.
 
They will most likely start at the top of the pile and will rarely waste their
hard earned money on inferior quality gems. Take advantage of these
opportunities to sell your gems for an avalanche of profits.
 
Conclusion
 
For Auction House traders intent on making their fortune with this
approach, it is obvious that you start stocking up on Illustrious
Jewelcrafter’s Tokens right away, if you aren’t doing it already.
Considering the fact that each Tome will set you back 4 tokens,
with 60 epic gem patters to learn …. You do the math but the point
I’m trying to make is – that is a lot of dailies on your plate.
 
Also, because it is relatively early days, I fully expect prices to
continue to drop as epic gems become more accessible to the
community at large. . As prices fall, which they will, the volume
that these things sell will increase. Budding Auctioneers should
start monitoring their servers for signs of price stabilization and
step in to fill the demand when it happens.

the great stuff that’s going on at this site. :-

Meet Jason from The WoW Colosseum

My name is Jason Devlin.

Now, if you’re anything like the hundreds of WoW players I’ve spoken to over the past few months, chances are you’re SICK and TIRED of the same old Leveling, Gold-Making and PvP Guides flooding the marketplace every few weeks or so

The reason you probably haven’t heard of me in the World of Warcraft arena until today is because…

For the last 4 years, I was too busy playing the game and refining my strategies and techniques

You see, the problem with World of Warcraft right now is that the ‘gurus’ you buy from make THEIR money selling tired old strategies to honest players like YOU!

Everything’s been done to death… the same old strategies have been regurgitated a million times

The average player could not possibly advance in such an environment!!

And when you have been dominating the game for as long as I have

It kinda makes you wonder why everyone’s buying all those half-assed guides out there filled with outdated information..

Making Gold in Patch 4.3 and the Fun of Transmogrification
 
Question from Chloe in Taiwan
 
Hello, Tony –
I have a question for you but before I begin I would just like to
thank you for all help you’ve given me so far – I’m definitely a
better player than I was before, and it’s all thanks to you!
 
Anyways, at present I’ve got a couple of high level characters and
a bunch of low level alts. I’m having trouble making money, though.
I make some gold from my professions, but it’s not enough. I need
more enchants for my high level characters so I can run heroics
better. Do you have any tips on how I can make gold? Thanks!
 
******************
Hey there Chloe,
 
Well, if you’re looking for good tips on how to make more World of
Warcraft gold (WoW gold) then you’ve come to the right place! There
are plenty of gold making opportunities in Azeroth, but they can be
hard to ferret out, so I’m glad to help with advice and tips.
 
As is usual for patches in the game, Patch 4.3 has stirred things
up and changed things around somewhat, and some of these changes
offer an opportunity for profit to the cunning, the alert, and the
patient. Here’s a look at a few of the better examples.
 
One of the good money earners at the moment are Chaos Orbs. These
are obtained only in maximum level heroic dungeons, and were BoP
until the most recent patch came out. They are a fairly infrequent
drop, and are needed for practically every high end profession in
WoW. You can make a bit of a profit if you run a lot of heroic
instances by selling your Chaos Orbs to those who do not have
enough time to gather large numbers of these items, but still need
them to develop their professions.
 
Some professions have more to offer than others – for example,
Jewelcrafting was rather short-changed by the fact that epic gems
come from raid bosses and not prospecting. Leatherworking, on the
other hand, can make good profits from the high demand Vicious
Leather set that sells for a solid profit on the auction house. You
can also check the prices of Savage Leather and Heavy Savage
Leather on your auction house, and see if it is worth buying Savage
Leather, turning it into Heavy Savage Leather, and reselling it at
a profit.
 
Blacksmiths have several options for making gold in the new patch.
The Bloodthirsty Pyrium set is a good money maker, and Ebonsteel
Belt Buckles are also quite profitable. Working together with an
enchanter, you can make Stormforged Shoulders and disenchant them
into the highly profitable Heavenly Shards, which sell quite well
on the auction house. Look for upswings in price before selling, as
the Heavenly Shard market is somewhat volatile (though not
disastrously so).
 
Finally, if you have any spare Sinister Squashlings from Halloween
in your bags, these are now BoE and can be sold on the Auction
House, often at a robust profit. This will not get you rich, since
you are unlikely to have too many (and cannot get more until
Hallow’s End 2012), but you can potentially make a few hundred gold
depending on your server’s market for these pets.

Transmogrifying your Gear for Style and Individuality
 
I also want to talk a little about transmogrification, which is a
new service introduced in 4.3, allowing you to change the
appearance of your character’s gear to match the look of another
piece that you have in your bags. This is an amazing little feature
that is popular with just about everyone who wants their character
to look more individual, rather than wearing the same cookie-cutter
endgame gear as every other warrior, rogue, death knight, druid,
etc.
 
Transmogrification doesn’t change the name, stats, or other
characteristics of your existing gear. Rather, it replaces the
visual model of that gear with the visual model of another, similar
piece of gear. For example, you can change your epic mail shoulders
to look like Herod’s Shoulder, or your endgame tanking sword to the
plain, vigorous look of the Bloodsoaked Skullforge Reaper.
 
You can make your character look as plain or flamboyant as you
wish, keep a single look for them throughout the leveling process
(once you have the gear that you want to transmogrify your other
gear’s appearance to match, of course), or switch between looks for
different roles. Even just changing the look of a few pieces of
gear really helps your character stand out from the crowd.
 
This is great news for everyone who is tired of their character
looking like every other character in the game. It also gives you
an incentive to have fun collecting lower level armor sets which
you find aesthetically pleasing, as well as keeping items whose
appearance piques your interest.
 
Transmogrification can also be an interesting way to gain a
momentary edge in a player versus player situation in the open
world. The gankers from the opposing faction may not realize that
the drab, seemingly low level rogue sauntering into their midst is
actually a lethal, top-geared arena player until it is too late –
bringing a touch of excitement and uncertainty back into open world
PvP.
 
Of course, transmogrification isn’t without its limits. You can
only make a piece of gear resemble a fairly similar piece of gear
by type – plate can only be made to resemble mail or plate, not a
cloth robe, for example. Concerning weapons, these items can only
be made to look like another weapon of the same type – a staff can
only be transmogrified into a staff, a sword into a sword, and so
on. Missile weapons, however, are interchangeable, so you can make
a bow resemble a gun, a gun resemble a crossbow, and so forth.
 
Items must have stats of some kind to be eligible for
transmogrification.
 
Transmogrification costs a fee, of course, and this can range up to
30 gold for the highest level characters. This is a low price for
this level, however, and prices are proportionally lower for lower
level characters.
 
Thanks for reading.

As we all know, Patch 4.3 was released a couple of days ago,
bringing tons of new content and challenging raids for us to sink
our teeth into.

Here’s a question I have been asked many times over the past few
days.

Have a look!

Question from Blaise of Dethecus.

Hi Tony,

First of all, thanks very much for the insightful and varied info
that you provide to us WoW fans. There’s a lot of second rate
information out there, so the high quality stuff you provide is
really appreciated since it cuts through the b.s. and gives us the
tools we need to actually succeed in the game. Bravo!

Anyway, I’m pretty strongly into the raiding scene, and I’m excited
about the Dragon Soul raid that’s being introduced in Patch 4.3. Do
you have any useful advance pointers that will help me and my guild
get ready for the last fight of the raid – the one against
Deathwing?

Thanks very much!

Hi Blaise,

Thanks for the kind words and the knowledge that my guide and other
World of Warcraft information is making a positive difference for
other players.

Now, let me get to the meat and potatoes of this week’s newsletter,
which is giving you some useful strategies for getting through
Dragon Soul successfully, as per your request.

The Dragon Soul raid, as you probably know, is a new raid
introduced in Patch 4.3 along with Void Storage, Arena Season 11,
and a lot of other goodies that we’ll be talking about more in the
coming weeks. Dragon Soul is the peak of the Cataclysm storyline
and features six bosses leading up the seventh boss, Deathwing
himself (who, of course, needs to be officially “killed off” to
bring the Cataclysm story arc to an end before the release of Mists
of Pandaria sometime next year).

This is pretty exciting stuff, with the final encounter being a
fight with the dragon who caused the Cataclysm in the first place.
Epic excitement, deadly encounters – and of course, plenty of
interesting strategies to challenge you on your way to victory over
Deathwing. Note that these strategies for fighting Deathwing apply
to the new “Looking for Raid” difficulty (a somewhat easier,
introductory raiding difficulty for those just starting) and for
Normal Difficulty.

The earlier fights have plenty of challenging mechanics and
different phases to keep you on your toes, but the most complicated
is naturally the Deathwing fight. This fight takes place as two
separate encounters, as befits such a mighty, legendary foe.
The first follows right after the “skyship” battle with Warmaster
Blackhorn, and involves removing Deathwing’s armor plating while
clinging to his back in order to make him vulnerable enough to slay
in the second encounter.

There are three armor plates on the back of the dragon that must be
removed. The battle centers around getting these off while
surviving damage dealing abilities and the possibility of being
thrown off by one of Deathwing’s barrel rolls. At least two tanks
are required for this encounter – it is impossible for one tank to
handle.

Four Corruption Tendrils sprouting from Deathwing’s back must first
be attacked, and three of them destroyed. They have both a
squeezing attack and a debuff, Searing Plasma, which can be removed
by casting 300,000 healing on the character suffering from the
effect. Grasping Tendrils spawn once three Corruption Tendrils have
been destroyed; go to these when a barrel roll is imminent as they
are the only method of keeping your character from being thrown off
the dragon entirely (except for the uncommon Fiery Grip debuff).
Destruction of a Corruption Tendril spawns a Corrupted Blood – a
fiery ooze – and a Hideous Amalgamation – an elemental made up of
fire and armor fragments. One tank should hold aggro on the
Tendrils and the Bloods, and the other focus on Amalgamations.

Killing a Corrupted Blood leaves a motile pool of residue which
creeps back to the hole where it spawned – the second tank must
lead the Amalgamation through this residue, which will be absorbed
and give the Amalgamation a buff.

You need to stack 9 of these buffs, called Absorbed Blood, on an
Amalgamation and lead it quickly to one of the armor plates on
Deathwing’s back. Once there, the Amalgamation will explode in a
Nuclear Explosion after 5 seconds – get clear, as this will inflict
huge damage, but it also loosens the armor plate and creates an add
called a Burning Tendon. Killing this Burning Tendon is what
removes the armor plate – you only have a 23 second window to kill
it, so DPS quickly.

Standing in one of the holes on Deathwing’s back both triggers
Grasping Tendrils to keep you in place and a Barrel Roll. The Roll
throws off Corrupted Bloods and Hideous Amalgamations, so if large
numbers have spawned, you can clear the field by triggering a
Barrel Roll – usually a good move, actually, after killing the
initial three Corruption Tendrils. Then kill the fourth Corruption
Tendril and use the Corrupted Blood and Hideous Amalgamation
spawned from it to start removing the plates.

Once you have removed all three armor plates, it’s time to take on
the dragon directly in the Madness of Deathwing encounter, which
we’ll take a closer look at in some other time.

P.S. Found this information useful? If you’re anxious about experiencing
all that Patch 4.3 has to offer, you should take 2 minutes of your time

Dominate Patch 4.3 and Automate Your Gold Making

So, the patch is live. Everyone’s happy. Prices are rising, demand is great, money is flowing. It’s been 3 days into the patch so I think it is time for the first review.

First of all I have to say that I wasn’t playing at all on Wednesday, so I can only rely on two days of experience.
The patch in many aspects brought exactly what most of us expected. There were a few surprises though, at least for me.

Traffic on the AH increased very much. It’s been long since I’ve last seen a crowd like this in the AH or in the capitals cities for that matter.
Materials have twice the price as prior to the patch. That is bad, but not surprising, everyone is crafting. What’s more troubling though is that realm stocks are running low on mats. There are less then 25 stacks of ores, herbs and what-not on the AH usually, and you can’t find much more. With a million crafters spamming the trade chat with WTB macros, you can’t even find a decent amount at the chat either. I hope you guys stocked up on mats before. Unfortunately I didn’t have much time to play before the patch due to IRL reasons, so on some items I’m already running low, but I manage.

As for the products, the demand is incredibly high. As usual, gems and enchants are the best-sellers. Yesterday I sold a stack of Bold Inferno Rubies in about 10 minutes.
Surprisingly (for me) there is a high demand for crafted gear too. I expected that the Vicious PVP sets will be a hit, but I just can’t understand what people still want with these Hardened Obsidium sets (and others like it). I know that the racional explanation would be that people are leveling alts, but first of all, right after the patch no one is on their alts, and second of all, that still doesn’t explain why can I sell 10 complete sets a day. Actually I can’t now because I have to prioritize with my obsidium but no matter how much I post on the AH, they all get bought.

Another thing I’d like to point out is that if you still have leftover Bloodthirsty pieces, check if there is a Vicious piece posted on the AH which match your Bloodthirsty, because if not, you should post the Bloodthirsty first, and hold back your vicious untill it gets sold. People are not looking especially for a Vicious Leather Gloves, but rather a good PVP gloves, so no they will take the Bloodthirsty. In this sense the patch also increased the demand for old items.

Epic gems are also here. As expected, their price is extremely high. As it turned out, there is no other way of acquiring the raw gems other than raiding. You cannot transmute them, and they are not in the fire prism. If you are raiding, selling these gems can be a great source of income, but if not, speculating with them, reselling, or cutting them is a risky investment. They only came out three days ago so their price is still very unstable. However if you know what you are doing, and have enough capital you can easily earn thousands of gold with a 3 second cast. Or lose just as much.

Altogether the patch is a blast, Thursday I closed with +73k and +61k on Friday. Too bad I couldn’t play more (I was only home about 2-3 hours each day).

By now, you should know that the only real way to make gold in World of
Warcraft is to use the Auction House to trade goods based on economic
conditions. This isn’t new and a lot of good guides have been written
showing players how to take advantage of the tools and add-ons out there
that analyse the auction house.

But with the Undermine Journal
now defunct and with other guides failing to update or adapt to
post-cataclysm changes, a lot of us were looking for something new to
take on the mantle of “ultimate auction house guide.” Cataclysm Scalper hoped to do that and has mostly succeeded.

What Cataclysm Scalper Does Right

The reason I can so highly recommend Cataclysm Scalper
is that it actually SHOWS you almost everything you need to know to be
effective in the game making gold. You get the text descriptions and
walkthroughs, but you also get a series of images and videos, plus a
slew of tools that show you how to develop your own spreadsheets, charts
and diagrams to track prices and choose the right items to buy.

I’ve never seen it done before and probably for good reason – it looks like a
lot of work. But, it’s absolutely successful in that you now have every
tool you need to be effective making gold. If you’re like me and are
tired of old, unupdated guides trying to tell you what to do, get over
to Cataclysm Scalper.
