For part III, I am covering two things.One, it's the final part of the series, and two, this is my monthly contribution to Cold's Gold Factory.

Part II- Cataclysm Rare Spawn List- Locations/Loot

Well, here we are at Part II....Once again, the pics are of the spawn locations according to wowhead, and the links I provided on the names are the wowhead.com loot table. If you missed yesterdays post, Part I, go have a look!For those that use add-ons, there is one that I use on a limited basis for rare mob farming, which look later this week for a how to post. For now, you can do the good ol'

Flipping Items - Arbritage - Cross Faction

Hey folks!A day late and a dolla short for Cold's Gold Factory carnival (which is today, go check it out!).I was hesitant on posting this information as it has been months since I have done any cross faction trading, but I figured I would help a brother out with a few things I used to do (since Cata, I barely have time to take on my own AH let alone dealing with two!). So here goes:Although this

Banwave to Pyrox Bots - How this Affects Us AH'ers

I log in this morning to do my daily ritual, and what do I notice? Very little Elementium Ore. No Obsidium Ore. What's the deal? Is someone stockpiling? Was there a banwave of bots again? Yesterday, I pondered why there was more than just a quick 4 hour server downtime, then maintenance, server restart, and another download.   Obsidium Ore in AH- Nothing there?!As per my normal ritual, I had

Tome Of Polymorph: Turtle...Drops In Cata?

Wow. That didn't last long, did it? I just received an email from a reader that I needed to share with ya'll:Alto,I just read your post on "the shampoo efffect". Well, I got something for you. I hope you aren't invested highly in the Tome of Polymorph Turtle, as they have been able to be fished out of Cata water for around a month now. I have not seen you or anyone else mention anything of this,

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

Elementium Geode - Pet from Mining? 35K

Hey all! I hope that Cata is treating you well! As an update, made 28K on "opening" day, mining and herbs. Of course that was from milling most of my ores (for the peeps that were powerleveling jewelcrafting), 17K there, a bit over 2K from green (yes, green) gems on the AH, and 9k on herb sales (luckily, I had my farmer help out with that a bit....after I feel comfy with my spot, I will post my

Sturdy Treasure Chest...Part Deux....Another BoE Blue, with Sprinkles on Top?!

So I had a previous post about the "new" chests in good ol' classic vanilla, finding one in the Plaguelands. Now running around, I found another spawn.... in Black Tooth Hovel, formerly the Pillar of Ash, and it is located in central Burning Steppes. Just look for a funny building"ish" with some big ol' ogres hanging around (33.5, 52.8 on your map).Drum roll please......not only do you get a BoE

VANILLA CHESTS ARE BACK, BABY! Sturdy Treasure Chests- Rare BOE's!

Well, another find while running around checking out the new content (yeah, I know I am a bit late, but hey, better late than never!)I ended up in the famed Eastern Plaguelands (The Fungal Vale, 36.4, 49.1) and what do I see? A WORLD CHEST?! Rogues rejoice! We are once again needed! *then I get to it and realize that anyone can open it, as it isn't locked. Who in their right mind would leave a "

Crusader Enchant Farming- Screenshot or it didn't happen......

As an update to a previous post on Crusader Enchant, here is a pic from 35 minutes farming (three "circuits") in Tyr's hand. If you have tried this area, then you know the Archmages are the only mobs that carry the chant, and they are easily picked out by the faint green glow from their staff, so if you just want to farm them, go right ahead. I recommend a full clear, as the respawns are random,

Farming Winterspring Recipies/Formulas for Profits

Here we go again, I am telling you about more of my "old school" farming habits. Yes, we are back on the Enchanting Formula.....this time Icy Chill. Yeah, this is one that used to be 10g (and if you got that back then, you were waaaay happy) but due to the economy, I am selling these for 300-450g depending, and there hasn't been any competition lately (for a month or so, I haven't seen anyone

Crusader Enchant Farming

So, I have been farming the crusader formula for years now, and it is always a great money machine when I am feeling broke. I am sure that you all remember the Scarlet Apprentices' up in the tower in plaguelands (if you dont, you must be "new" to the game, read on young grasshopper). Yeah, I too spent many a day (and /played) over there, and got a handful of the formula back in the day (and if
