A "How To" on Selling Goods - 4.0.6 Enchants Example

This post is once again directed from a reader email that I received yesterday. Mila asked about the new Enchant formulas and how to price the scrolls. Even though this post is geared toward them, the information contained here will work with any "rare or epix" item (you just might have to use your imagination a little).Whether you are a blacksmith, tailor, leatherworker, or what-have-you, take

Whiptail in 4.0.6- Damn the Uldum Dam!

Well, we knew it wouldn't last forever (but secretely hoped it would), last night (during the JMTC TS Gold Chat) I hit my "route" that I have ran about 6 times (hour blocks) since Tuesday to my normal success (a little light on Volatiles though...)After three days of hotfixes and one server "restart" (that I know of) I started to think that maybe this was on purpose (the herb buff), as I was

4.0.6 Herbalism After Hotfix - Update on Whiptail in Uldum

*Edit- Big Jimm over at P3P just hit on an article, with us both posting the exact same time (ok, within a few minutes or so). Go over and read his post, you can click anywhere in this article for the link. This is just my opinion, but I think his is a better read than mine... Go check it out! And Jimm, if you read this, thanks for the link love! I will try my best to do better so I can get on

Alto vs. Alto - My 4.0.6 Predictions and Results

I looked back to last weeks post on Stockpiling for 4.0.6 and compared my pre-patch post to what really has happened. Who will win? PrePatch Alto or PostPatch Alto? I know who I bet on....."I only really recommend this if you are willing to pay an exorbitant price for the new formula's, as they will hit the AH, and I feel that 10-15K will be a starting price for these"As you know, I picked up a

Whip It, Whip It Real Good! The 4.0.6 Uldum Herbalism "Nobody" Spot

As a continuance to my 4.0.6 post yesterday, it's 3am now and it's so hard to stop farming, as I have been hitting 4K per hour..... I think we have another round of "Happy Herbing", just like the beginning of Cata.I was so busy farming mobs for the enchant and design drops that I didn't even check for nerfs on anything else. As I was working on my non-stop updated post from yesterday, Faids blog

Alto vs. 4.0.6 - Herbalism in Uldum and Deepholm and Design: Burning Shadowspirit Diamond?!

Ok, ok. All of a sudden I am versus everyone, everything. Well, lately I think that's just how not just my WoW life has been, but "real" life as well. I won't go into that, because that isn't why you are here.This is going to be an update post throughout the night, as I get information, you will be the first to know. So let it be that if you are reading this right now, you need to keep checking

PTR Update Jan 14- Archaeology - Vendors - Stranglethorn Vale

 Only a few changes (and I am a day off getting it to you), but I don't want one to slip by....do you blame me? Nothing really major from what I can see, but I am really interested in the Arch "values"...similar to a 5K card? Not getting your hopes up, but I think Blizz has something up their sleeve for adding to this "profession", and this is just a small start.Archaeology:The sell value of all

What Do Tuesdays Mean to You? Are You Prepared?

So what do you do to get prepared for Tuesday Patch/Hotfix day? The list below is in no particular order, but do not hesitate to see the importance of each of them as if they were all 1st on the list (however I must admit, that #1 is the most important in Alto's eyes).Do you:1. Read Alto's Hotfix/Patch Notes? (self plug there..) I do my best to read through Blizzards posted notes for you and

Hotfixes by Blizz Dec15 and How They Affect You

I am starting to wonder about Blizz and their [almost] daily patches/hotfixes. I could be wrong, but I dont remember this many issues ever before. They must have fired too many QA folks or programmers....or there is someone on the inside (my own personal conspiracy theory).Anyways, here are a few things I gathered from the notes:•Stormforged Legguards item is now rare (blue) quality.Check your AH
