Gold, SSC and Argent Dawn

Most of my efforts have been focused on either raiding or generating gold this week. I'll start with the non-gold stuff:

I hit exalted with the Argent Dawn by running my wife's alt through Undead Stratholme a bunch of times. No mount dropped, alas. I also did living side, mostly for the Righteous Orbs to sell for the Crusader enchant.

I also did some random BC raids, including killing Lady Vashj in SSC. She's much easier at 80 :)

On the gold front, I am finally getting a solid system together. I'd like to do all of my crafting 1-2 days a week since it takes up so much time. My biggest sticking point was actually getting enough vellums at a decent price. In the end, I got some guild scribes to help me out but for the future, I've decided to level up a scribe solely to help me get cheap vellums. (The markup on the AH is insane - 800% or more.) Tankspiral, my new level 58 Deathknight, is now my new scribe.

Enchants are selling well but I feel like I need to be more agressive with my pricing. The money to be made on bigger enchants like Blade Ward is ridiculous - 200g+. I think it's time that I crash the market a bit since I now know who my competitors are.

I'll finally be picking a good epic gem recipe for my jewelcrafting today. I'm going to get Delicate Cardinal Ruby since it seems to have the most markup (50%) and seems to be selling well.

I hope to finish getting a gold-making system in place this week and finally go back to busting out achievements. 7000 points by the 15th of the month is my current goal.

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

Beta update - best achievement EVER!

It probably won't make it to live. But check out this feat of strength from the beta:

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
