I have been falling behind on my herb purchases. I never did pick up any new farmers after I lost my last few. What I did instead was just camp the herbs on the AH. Never letting them fall below a set price. I moved the market average up and it held there for a few months. I no longer camp those mats and instead just check them every few days.
Today I made a huge purchase because they fell so low. I spent 3400G at the AH and took a great deal of herbs off the AH in one pass. It feels good to have a lot of herbs again. I think I just picked up close to 250 stacks of various herbs. It’s going to be one huge milling session.
I made the mistake once before where I cut myself off because the low prices scared me. I never should have stopped buying last time.
I am doing the same thing. But trying to keep Frost Lotus above 55g is alot of money spent on a daily basis. I am currently sitting on 250 frost lotus acquired since saturday and the only reason why I have the capital to keep going is because of my glyph business suddenly taking off.
Right now I’m just waiting for the flask floor to rise as well so I can start making some money off of this investment.

Don’t want to mentor an AH-noob on a different server (therefore, not competition,) do you?
I just need someone to teach me to fish (in a figurative sense, of course. I’ve got my 5 year old to click the bobber and recast for me)…cause I can’t seem to find my niche.

I just started getting into the same situation as you, Kevmar. Not actually playing on the server that my glyph experiment is on, it’s hard to secure farmers, so I’ve just been buying out every herb below a set price on a regular basis. I seem to snatch a lot – which means my competition are either using their own personal farmers, or I’m actually depleting their supply and thus decreasing their profits.
