Flipping pets on Alliance

While I have been focusing heavily on getting my enchanting business up and running, I thoguht it would be worthwhile to briefly post on my first foray into the Alliance side fo the AH.

Last week, I picked up one of the Horde-side Argent tournament pets from a guy in trade. He was asking 400g and I offered 312g. (Market price horde-side is around 420g).

I moved it to a level 1 alt on the alliance side via the neutral AH and flipped it quite quickly for 650g. I then scanned the AH using auctioneer to find arbitrage oppertunities and wound up loading up on cheap level 45-ish epics for 80g each, a few very good twink blues in the range of 20g-30g each and 4 stacks of Northern Spices for 35g each.

Out of sheer dumb luck, someone had bought all the spices out horde side, and I managed to flip all four stacks for 235g a stack. The epics all sold for around 400g each with only one relist and most of the blues have also sold for around 200g each. The gold per hour is ridiculous and I plan to do this on a bigger scale soon.

Remember to Share (300 Toys)!

This one has taken a while. I finally picked up 300 toys (and thus the mount for the achievement) after starting to seriously work on my Archaeology achievements for the first time. I've been doing the fortnightly Legion archaeology quests for a while (and thus had 800 skill) but I completely ignored this profession in earlier expansions as it seemed seriously boring. With some knowledge and a good addon, it's much better however. Some tips if you're just starting to work on archaeology: 1. Download the "Archy" addon. This addon does several things: first, it shows you the location and completion status of all digsites in the current continent. Second, it automatically sets the closes one as a waypoint for TomTom. Third, it indicates when it's possible to solve an artifact with and without a keystone, so you don't have to constantly check your archaeology screen. On top of that, the distance indicator shows when you are in the correct range from your ...

A Song of Wind and Water

I've been working on Oracles and Ogri'la rep every day and have about four days to go. One thing I've noticed about these older daily quests is that there is little provision for high-level players that one-shot everything. Two quests in particular stand out as being annoying until you learn the high-level trick. The first is Banish More Demons in Blade's Edge. This involves placing a portal on the ground then killing demons within a few feet of the portal. The portal has a one-minute cooldown and you need fifteen demons. It was a slow exercise in frustration because kiting further-away demons was difficult sue to all my abilities one-shotting them before they got near. In the end, I learned to use the Shaman's "Purge" ability to aggro mobs without killing them and pull them close to the portal. The second, and more annoying, quest that isn't scaled for high-level players is the Ogri-la's Song of Wind and Water . This involves weakening ...
