1k Gold Run, Day 5

September 8, 2010 in Gold Run

Ok, Day 5 of this project. (By the way, the Gold Blueprint site does all of this gold run stuff, and everything else, in high def video.)

Just a thought or two. As you may know, Auctioneer has a scan function. This thing will scan the entire auction house and make notes of prices and other info. The idea is that after a number of scans you start to get some decent pricing info. There are two caveats to this.

  1. It’s no good for items like glyphs, with potentially extreme price volatility. 2g one day, 60 the other.
  2. Have you seen those herbs, and other mats, at 3,000g per piece? I don’t know if the intent of that is to mess with Auctioneer or not, and Auctioneer does have a setting to remove “outliers,” but it does mean that one has to make educated guesses about pricing sometimes.
  3. With the type of mats the people buy a lot of, such as leather, I don’t always put my stuff up at the lowest price since people buy large quantities at one time. Price one or two steps up and you’ll still sell your stuff. Glyphs, recipes, and other “buy once only” items are another story.
  4. By the way, cooking recipes are a great way for new characters (and players) to get into some gold. Buy for a few silver, post for a lot more.  Gathering is another good way to start.
  5. Those white weapons and armor you find at low levels will sell for a few silver on the AH, and only a few copper to the vendor.
