Auctioneer Addons Not Working? I can help... a little :P

Well when 4.0 hit I was freaking out when I logged in and I realized 3/4 of my addons were useless... I was especially heart broken that Auctioneer wasn't working... so I rushed to WoWinterface and the JMTC Forums for help...

Here is a little background about me. I am an auctioneer freak. I've never used anything else. Ever. I hate KTQ, QA, I just like my simple Auctioneer tool. Sure QA posting might be faster, but I like to actually earn my gold rather than press a button to cancel & repost everything at once. That just feels like cheating. I've never liked QA, and never will. In my opinion it takes way too long to set up and is kind of confusing for starters. I like my manual labor, setting up my own thresholds, fallback prices, etc.

ZeroAuctions
The first thing I downloaded was ZeroAuctions. I hated it. I loaded it up, tried to figure it out, and instantly dropped it. It was more complicated than I thought and instantly thought.. nope this isn't for me... and I uninstalled it. No disrespect Zero, honestly. I can't say anything about this addon, because quite frankly I didn't even give it a shot, it just wasn't my style of addon, and I wasn't feeling it.

Auctionator
I then rushed and downloaded Auctionator. This was actually pretty decent, I dragged an item to the box, it would scan, tell me how many are posted, by how many people, and at what price. It would then undercut instantly, and asked how many stacks, and number of stacks I wanted to post. I then hit post and everything was said and done. I didn't really mess with any of the options, but It worked good for 2 or three days, until I saw that Auctioneer was up & running again.. I recommend this addon to anyone who finds QA/KTQ/Auctioneer too complicated and just want something that is lightweight and allows them to post things easily and reliably.

Auctioneer
I was browsing the JMTC forums and saw that the official forums for Auctioneer were posted there. I checked there and found out that the Auctioneer Developers had posted an early beta that fixed Auctioneer in 4.0. I Instantly downloaded it and installed it. I was once again in heaven.

If you're just a casual poster, I reccommend Auctionator, if you're a little more into your game and want an addon that gives a little more feedback & numbers, Auctioneer is your game. If you like the QA stuff... look into ZeroAuctions.

Recipe: Elixir of Dream Vision - Add it to your snatch list!

[Recipe: Elixir of Dream Vision] is a very rare old world recipe drop. In fact it's almost as rare as the +4 stats to chest enchant. I have heard horror stories about this recipe. The only real way to farm this recipe is to kill the old world dragons which are semi-hard to solo. I attempted to solo one on my 5300 GS ( 45k HP ) Prot Paladin and failed miserably.

The recipe is kinda cool in my opinion, It's just like the warlock spell Eye of Kilrogg, or the Hunter ability Eyes of the beast, which allows you to control a floating eye (warlock) or your pet (hunter) but instead it allows you to control a invisible orb that will not aggro anything. You fall asleep and you can freely move the invisible orb around for 2 minutes. I used mine an elixir Ironforge and managed to get to Kharanos before the elixir wore out.

 I picked up this recipe about 2 weeks ago for 25g. Since then I have sold the recipe for 3500g. It's crazy how much gold rare old world recipes can go for.

That just teaches you that by adding all of these old world recipes to your snatch list you can make ridiculous amounts of gold with minimal time spent ( a scan or two ^.^).
