61 Troll Hunter, call me Farmer

After doing another run through SFK and netting another 30g worth of “stuff”, I moved on to the Scarlet Monestary, hoping to find the recipe for Steel Weapon Chain for my blacksmith. I went through all four arms of the SM instances and while I didn’t find the recipe I had hoped for, I got a lot of equipment to auction off, and got about 120 pieces of silk for my future tailoring toon.

I dropped Skinning on this toon, and picked up Tailoring. Now that I’m not focussing my efforts on Blacksmithing, my next goal is to allow my Priest to create Small Silk Packs.

Auction House Good Deals, Selling and Buying

Small Silk Packs are 10 slot bags which sell well (95s each) to new toons and are cheap to make because of the lack of real competition for silk in the general marketplace. While many professions use some silk, none use it excessively for a long time, so the cost of it is reasonable in the Auction House, and since there’s always new toons looking to bulk up on bag space, it’s a great little niche market if it’s not already solidly cornered on your realm.

As for buying, I lucked into some under-1g stacks of Wool cloth last night (this morning full stacks are listing for 3-4g each), so I bought up about 120 Wool cloth and mailed it on to my Priest, along with about 120 Linen cloth (which were extremely cheap, 10s per full stack), so it would be there for me today when I logged in to play.

I’m now at Tailoring 130 and able to make bolts of silk, so the silk I got from the Scarlet Monestary runs last night is now on its way to the tailoring toon. I’ll create a bunch of packs and sell them over time next weekend, and if it’s as lucrative an activity as I expect it to be, I’ll pump out a steady stream of packs even when I get no further skill advancement benefit out of doing so.

But, today there’s a lot of real life and not a lot of gaming time, so now that I’ve finished my Auction House scan and a few Censuses on Most Wanted realms, it’s time to go spend some time outside of Azeroth with friends, eating healthy food. :)
