Enchant Weapon - Strength - Huge profits!

Man, I truly love this enchant, It's become more of a "niche" market for me. I basically call the shots for this enchant, and the profits on this enchant are outrageous to say the least.

Where do I pick up this enchant?
This recipe is bought from a vendor inside of Blackrock Depths. It requires the reputation of friendly with the Thorium Brotherhood, which I must say in a away is kind of nice, as not many people are willing to raise their reputation for a single scroll. That is probably the only downside to this enchant, that it requires a reputation that is semi difficult to get to friendly. This is why almost no one has this enchant.

Why does this enchant sell?
It is bought because it is the best enchant for strenght based melee classes, such as Death Knights and Warriors. Sure, that might not be a huge payer base ( Lol yeah right, everyone and their mother has a DK ) but. surprisingly, the enchant sells rather well.

There are none at the Auction House! How Much do I list them for?
I normally list them at 200g each, I keep two up a the Auction House at all times, and most of the time, the same person buys both ( because they have two weapons ). You could try 250g per scroll, but I've found 200g to be the "sweet spot"

Camping The Dalaran Spellscribe - The Black Tabby

You're asking what a  black tabby is? Well The Black Tabby is a non combat pet that is mostly found on the horde side auction house due to the way it is obtained. Come cataclysm the best way to obtain this pet is going away, so I suggest that you start farming this pet now, and either sell the pet now, or store it for cataclysm.

Great! Where do I go?
Well first things first, ask yourself, do you have a horde toon that is about level 20? If the answer to that question is yes, then you're in business! The mob spawns in Silverpine Forest and can only be killed by horde characters.  The Mob is named Dalaran Spellscribe. He spawns roughly every three or four hours. He is located In Amber Mill, he can spawn in three places, but they are all located very close to each other. In fact what I do now is log, in and press a button ( a macro ) and if I target him, then I send my pet to attack. The macro is nothing, special, it's a simple target macro, I will post it below.

/target Dalaran Spellscribe

 Below is a screenshot of where I stand, it is where I spam my macro and If I do manage to target him, I simply send my pet after him, and I follow my pet.

How much gold am I looking at here?
Well it depends. It depends on what you ask? For one, are you going to be selling this on the Horde Auction House? or will you be smart and sell it at the Alliance Auction House? It also depends if you're even going to sell the pet, or if you are going to be holding onto it for cataclysm. At bare minimum, I value this pet at 1,000. That is if it is sold right after you obtain it, and post it at the Horde Auction House. If you transfer it to the Alliance Auction House, you're looking at something around 4-5,000g. Now, I myself currently have enough gold, so I plan on saving these for cataclysm, where they will be rare. I predict their prices will go somewhere near 10,000g, if not more, due to how rare it will become. The only other place to obtain this pet is from mobs that have a .01% ( 175 out of 147531 ). So yeah, the rarity of this pet is going to increase, and therefore will it's price come Cataclysm

Are you a scribe? No? You better become one!

Boy oh boy... Inscription... This profession should be renamed to Gold Printing. Honestly, they should rename it to that. I recently leveled a Death Knight to 65, leveled inscription on him and started mass crafting as many glyphs as possible... man was I surprised at the outcome!

First things first. I have been a scribe twice pre 4.0. Both times I did not craft glyphs, I simply bought herbs, milled them, made inks, and I'd make Vellums, Offhands, and Runescrolls. I never made glyphs until about a week ago. I regret not doing so, because quite frankly inscription is a never ending gold mine. There is so much gold to be made here, and it's so easy! What got me interested in inscription again, was reading how people made well over 30-100k+ just from patch 4.0.

I started off with 1,000g. I blew through that leveling inscription to roughly 200. I blew through another 900g before reaching 350. Now, that might seem like a lot, but that 1900g investment has turned into 10,000g over the course of 4 days.

What do I do? What addons do I use?
Well what you do is first, is level a scribe to about 400. Unlike other professions, the items you make while leveling can be sold for huge profits, don't vendor anything that you make instead post the items at the auction house. Once you're at 400 you want to buy or farm a TON of higher level Northrend herbs. Mill them and make as many inks as possible. I normally split the amount of inks I have in 7 evenly, and craft as many glyphs as possible. I'm still new to the market so I though this was the best way to get to know it. I suggest you do the same, split your total inks of the sea evenly and trade them in at Jessica Sellers, Located in the inscription house at Dalaran.Stop once you've done this. You're going to need an addons' help with the next step.

The addon is called Auction Profit Master, also formerly known as Quick Auctions. I did not know a single thing about Quick Auctions, I tried it once and hated it because quite frankly I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I used this excellent Quick Auctions Guide posted by Markco. Follow those steps, it only took me a matter of minutes to do everything. Once that is set up, What I do is do scan of the auction house ( Step 11 on Markco's Guide ) and craft the glyphs that are going for the most, I have been crafting every single glyph lately, But I do not recommend this if you do not have that much liquid gold to spend.

Once you figure out which glyphs are going for the best prices, you'll want to go to the auction house and hit post. Now a button will pop up, normally you'd click it but thanks to the JMTC IRC, I now have a macro that allows me to spam it and it acts like I'm clicking the button. Here is the macro:

/click AuctionProfitMasterPostButton

Spam that macro while posting, and spam the macro below while canceling

/click AuctionProfitMasterCancelButton

Now don't get me wrong, you're probably going to look at this post and be like... Mageshadow that's a LOT of stuff to do! While it seems like a lot, It actually doesn't take that long, and I promise after everything is set up properly, you'll be making thousands upon thousands of gold. My girlfriend made 4,000g almost overnight! I was shocked, and she wasn't even using Quick Auctions, think about how much gold she could of made if she was! 6000g? 8000g? 10,000g?

P.S. Leroy, You're awesome
P.P.S. I love you Kendra :)

Items that are going away in Cataclysm!

There are a couple items/vendors that are being removed in cataclysm. Now I don't have a full list of everything, and most of these items are pure speculation, but I've made a short list of items to stockpile, and items you do NOT want to be holding onto come Cataclysm.

Razzashi Hatchling
This is one item that you will want to have stockpiled, there is no excuse to have one or two of these in the bank stockpiled. The prices for these babies have already risen to 4-5k, even then it's worth it. I can see these going for 20-30k 6 months into cataclysm.

Vendor Recipes!
Schematic: Deepdive Helmet seems to be going away, or at least the vendor that sells this schematic seems to be gone. grab a couple of these just in case, it doesn't hurt!

Pattern: Blue Dragonscale Breastplate also seems to be going away, the vendor is no longer there. Snatch a couple of these for cataclysm, they can fetch a nice price down the road if this pattern is getting removed.

Pattern: Herbalist's Gloves, and alliance only vendor recipe seems also gone. This pattern is not taught by anyone currently in the beta. Again, it would be wise to grab four or five of these gloves, the more the better.

Schematic: Major Recombobulator, which drops from the Dire Maul Tribute. Dire maul is being completely revamped, the tribute run seems to be gone. This schematic only drops for the Dire Maul Tribute run, it has to be a full tribute run ( I.E. No guards killed )

The World Dragons!
The world dragons are gone come cataclysm.  They have a chance to drop many rare recipes, and the best way to obtain the rare recipes are from the world dragons. Some recipes included, Schematic Arcane Bomb, Schematic Lifelike Mechanical Toad, Recipe: Elixir of Dream Vision, Formula: Enchant Chest - Greater Stats, Plans: Thorium Shield Spike. Those are some of the few items that I think will rise in value 200-300%. A full post can be found at the Consortium Forums, Bored? Go Slay A Dragon! Credits go to Sterling for such an awesome post!

Random Speculation I've heard
I've heard a couple rumors that the Orb of Deception is going away. Dire Maul is being changed and the best way to obtain this item is in the Dire Maul "Arena". If that's the case, this item will become very rare, and it's price will rise.

I've also heard that the Gordok Ogre Suit is going to be going away due to the changes to dire maul. It would be wise to grab several of these suits and throw them in the bank. I myself have 5 stocked up.

Items you do NOT want to have come cataclysm!
Recipe: Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops, people have speculated about this recipe for quite a bit now. I myself would NOT invest in this recipe. Sure the island is gone, but a couple people have stated that this recipe can be bought from Dirge, for 12s 50c. If this is the case, you just dumped 5, 10 or even 20k into a recipe that is worth 12s 50c.

Tome of Polymorph: Turtle. I would only invest in this tome if you have a nice empire of gold. otherwise, don't plan on making too much off this, It could be bought from a vendor for 500g, 1000g, 2000g, who knows. My best guess is that blizzard will make it very easy to obtain this, and therefore, this tome will decrease in value.


If you have any more items feel free to leave a comment, and I'll edit the post if I think it's a valid item!
