Pretty sure it's the same 70jp.

I used the potion in Uldum where the Harrison Jones quests started out, with the sand pygmys. Definitely made money on the things. You'll find anything from Pyrite Ore, lots of Embersilk cloth, volatiles, and 10-20g each time you pick up a chest.

I found that the Frenzyheart kills from the Oracles daily "Mastery of the Crystals" yields 2-3g from the kills themselves (50 kills). They go down pretty fast. Unfortunately Frenzyheart aren't skinnable, though. Would the treasure potion work on them as well, do you think?

ETA: These are in Sholozar Basin so Northrend mobs obviously

I believe the tooltip for the Potion of Treasure Finding states that it only works in the Cataclysm zones.

Ah.. So 8 minute reg. heroic queues, vs 35 minute zg/za queues, and you only get an extra 70 VP, which is converted to JP soon anyhow.. I think I see no point in doing za/zg for the next week.

but will make it near impossible to kill things fast enough

I'm not sure if other servers are similar, but on my server the level 77-79 cata greens sell for a pretty good chunk of gold (due to 75-79 bg twinking). The 77 items I've seen sell as high as 300g per piece if they have good stat distributions. You could in theory make some decent gold if you focused on low level cata mobs and combined it with skinning or volatile / cloth farming.

Nah I can't remember the name of the area in hyjal, but there are about 40 of em on near instant respawn. At 85, you hit it twice and it's dead, so as long as you are dedicated and don't waste time for an hour, you can do it.

I would only recommend doing this for getting your first thousand gold or so. After that there's lots of things you can do:

1. If you have a mage or an engineer, portal to various areas where you can buy vendor minipets and recipes and flip for anywhere from 50% to 500% profit. Dalaran, Winterspring, and the Stormspire in Area 52 all have vendors that sell minipets you can profit on.

2. Pay attention to achievements. There's an achievement for eating 91 chocolate cookies. You can aquire the mats to make them for <2g a stack, and I've sold 4500 of them since the last patch at an avg price of 50g a stack. There are a bunch of other achievements, especially related to world events, where you can often be the only person on the AH selling whatever is required.

3. Pimp your profs. Get TradeSkillMaster. It's somewhat annoying to get set up properly, but once you have it going, you basically have an unlimited pool of good as it will help you figure out what crafts with your existing profs are profitable to make. There are still tons of things from vanilla, bc and wrath that are craftable for a profit.

4. Bark! Trade chat spammers are super annoying, but if you can get in there once in a while with a creative way of selling your goods your sales will increase.

Scribes can make 2-3 dust of disappearance from one blackfallow ink, which has a market value of ~4g. I post them for 9g, which is 1g less than they cost to buy from the vendor, and have a macro that says "Tired of having crappy dps, heals, or being unable to hold aggro? Buy [Dust of Disappearance] for less than vendor on the AH now!". Pretty much any time I click the macro I sell at least 20 dusts immediately.

Got my level 40 Paladin now and just rolling through all the content. They've definitely made it faster than I remembered and I've got a nice +10%exp from a random guild. 200g already, ezgame. The first helm I found in the entire game was at level 36 in a dungeon. Nubnubnub.

Glyphs, I don't remember these, but is there any point in getting any at the lower levels if I'm levelling up really fast?

Not sure for paladins but for most classes you'll be using some of the same ones now that you will at 85

Definitely get some glyphs if you find them cheap enough. Some do really cool things. Like the glyph for paladins that give them like 10 expertise if they have a certain seal on. (great for tanking, as exp is hard to come by at the that level)

Are JP trade goods going down in price for the patch?

Just thinking about the conversion rate, it would 'cost' 1762.5 gold for a maelstrom, 47g for 1 hypnotic dust, 188g for a greater celestial, 587.5g for a stack of embersilk, 176.25g for 1 heavy savage leather, and 470g for a stack of elementium ore. (705g for a stack of random herbs)

This just seems obscene, considering that JP is going to be converted soon. I wouldn't mind keeping it maxed or spending some of it to level my LW'er, but damn is it not worth it!

1. Go to Dalaran.
2. Buy Frozen orbs for 110 JP each
3. Use Frozen Orbs to buy Eternals that sell in the AH for 15-50g each.
4. Profit????

110 JP x .47g = 51.7g

expected loss - 1.7g to 36.7g (+ 5% AH cut)

Continuing my powerleveling, level 55 now. I'm just rolling my face across the keyboard, its almost impossible to die. The only profession I've bothered to learn is mining. Stacks of thorium selling for 60g makes me a lota money, up to about 850g now I think. Going through all the dungeons as well, I missed all this content years ago because I just quested my way through. Not looking forward to the Outlands.

Outlands questing is actually pretty fun. You should be able to solo a lot of the group quests, too. (BoA gear/new talents being what they are, etc)

I think questing in Outland is a lot faster than instance grinding, so that's in your favor.

Outlands, while it hasn't been redesigned at all, is a lot less of a grind then it was. XP is like 3x faster then it was during TBC so you can pretty much rip through the content, only doing quests you want, skipping zones you don't like, etc. Plus you get flying at 60 and that greatly simplifies questing.

Northrend is a far more boring grind right now imo, but if you haven't been through it yet, it should be interesting to do at least once.

Also, don't mean to rain on your parade, but 850g means your basically broke. You will be spending almost all of that on flying/mount/old world flying at 60. At 70, the epic flying (although optional) is 5000g minus discounts.

It's probably too late now, but you should really have picked up and levelled 2 gathering professions for a first-toon to make gold.

Meh, once he gets flying/old world flying he can go back and level herbing pretty quickly.

Haha, Reins of Poseidus on my AH for 500k right now, wtf

lol? why would someone put it up for 500k when the most someone can have on one character is 250k.

Pretty sure it's 999,999g 99s 99c now

I'm thinking about starting playing again. My account is only a WotLK account right now - are there still those scrolls of ressurection or any sort of thing for players getting back into the game?

Pretty sure its like 1 mil too. I've been in a fairly large guild the last few weeks mainly for the perks. Well yesterday the GM says the guild is disbanding and I let him know I'd buy it from him. End up getting a level 25 guild with about 250 members for 15k. I think w/ the Cash Flow perk Ill be able to get my 15k back pretty quickly.

I thought there was the logarithm that caps you at 250k?

edit: still at 500k

$2 per 1k x 500 = $1,000 for a farmable mount? GTFO lol

double edit: Even if we took a "rare" mount at $25 (which is what store mounts "go for"), that's only 12.5k gold. Which, honestly, should be the cap on farmable mounts.

Your gold amount used to be stored in a 32-bit signed integer, meaning it had a max of 2^31 - 1 copper, which is roughly 214k gold. They changed it in 4.0.1
