Favorite farming spot in Cataclsym

Hey guys this post is being written for Cold's Gold Blogging Carnival.  If you are reading this post before Jan 11 then be sure to head over and check out the rest of the posts on Jan 11th here.

So not to throw everyone a complete curve ball but my favorite spot to farm atm will have you going back to Wrath content.  On my server the cost to make a Frostweave Bag has finally caught back up with the new price.  As of this post bags are still selling for 150g to 170g each on my server and I can easily sell 20 a day with minimal reposting.  The Problem as most know from Wrath is that to make one bag I need 3 stacks of Frostweave Cloth and 12 Infinite Dust.  Infinite Dust is still very easy to come by but the Frostweave Cloth is starting to become scarce and what is on the AH is priced at 40g a stack.  (This pricing issue is heavily server dependent.)

Lets take a small step back.

Okay so Cataclysm is in full swing and many auctioneers have their focus on making gold with all the new materials and craftables.  Even the ones who stockpiled Wrath materials to sell for profit in Cataclysm are missing a great opportunity to cash in on.  With material prices still high many players are turning the clock back to Wrath in order to achieve as many skill ups as possible.  This gives us a great opportunity to grab some quick profit.

Squeezing All The Juice Out of The Feast of Winter Veil

By now you have sold small eggs and possibly sold milk and cookies as well.  If you have a tailor or leather worker you had the opportunity to make parts of the Winter Garb set and profit off them.  Now, however,  you find the gold you made at the start of this holiday is all but a trickle of its former self.  Also with Christmas yesterday and continuing family gatherings through New Years many of us find little time to escape from our families long enough to play WoW for any long stretch of time.  So what should I be doing with my limited time on the auction house?  Invest!

Good time to be an Alchemist

Well a good number of people are 85 and many of them have met the ilvl for heroics.  However a lot of these people are finding that they have trouble running said heroics.  These people have turned to getting every edge they can.  Enchants are selling well but everyone and their mother is an enchanter.  While there are a high number of Alchemists as well with mat prices as high as they are many people refuse to make items even if they can make a profit.  Yet there are many consumables people are seeking out to make themselves for effective.

Gone Fishing!

Well sorry for the lack of posts the past few days but I have been a bit under the weather and at the same time have been wracking my brain looking for things to talk about that are not already being shared among all the gold blogs out there.  There is however one item in particular I ran into that after skipping hundreds of times in Tol Barad I can say I will almost never skip again.  The item I am talking about is Sealed Crate.  This item is fished out of Shipwreck Debris and I believe it is only available in Tol Barad.  Now what makes this crate so much better than the rest is the goodies that come out of it.

The Auction House Dark Alley

Everyday I see things on the auction house that many people consider scamming, mean, and just plain wrong.  You know what I'm talking about and maybe you have tried a few of these things in your time.  From the classic posting 1 arrow or bullet for just under the price of an entire stack, to the people intentionally messing with prices on certain items to attempt to cash in later with people who fully trust Auctioneer scans.  Then there are the people who post an item well above normal value and then log onto another toon or account and spam trade for that item at an even higher price.  These are true scams.  Anything in which you actively deceive another player and give them some sort of hope for profit.  Even myself can't say that the allure of easy gold hasn't kept me from attempting a few of these on occasion.

ALERT: Alchemists important information below

The latest hotfix has made Vile of the Sands able to be traded.  Now currently making the mount will cost almost 60k going by the average sell price on wowhead for Truegold bars.  Now that may sound like a astronomical price but unless you want this mount for yourself early on you can easily sell one of these for an enormous profit.
