I have not been online much at all. I figure I should try and take advantage of the new patch. So here are a few things I plan on doing. I have not watched the notes that close this time so there could be some ideas I have that are way out of date.
Book of Glyph Mystery market spike. I cleaned out all the glyph mastery books and rest the prices. If I remember correctly, there are 3 new glyphs that are learned from the books. Before I call it a night tonight, I will post them extra high. The first people logging in looking for them will see my books. It is possible that I will have the market long enough to sell a few before someone with books realizes there is a market here.
Posting glyphs for a market reset. I have not posted glyphs in over a week now. So I plan on restocking and posting at fallback prices. Last 3 patches the glyph market reset on me as I tried hard to stay on top of it. This time I am going to push my threshold up and fall back to a high fallback where the market is lower. If the market demand causes a reset like I look for it to do, I will catch enough fallback sales to make it worth it. If I was going to camp the AH at any time, this would be it. Instead of camping this time, I will try this trick instead. I am also making sure I have parchment on the AH. When prices fall back, there is a surge of parchment purchases.
Reset the eternal shadow market. This one is a bit more risky. I think I remember reading about something new that uses eternal shadow. The risk here is the amount that people may have collecting dust in the bank. This is one of those items that people can collect a lot of and not find it worth it to sell them. They think they should vendor it or sell it later so it goes into the bank. Not many people will have Books of Glyph Mastery, but there can be a good deal of people with these eternals.
I’m tempted to pick up all the cheap eternal earth for the same reason as the shadow. My ah has a large volume of it on the AH so I don’t expect to reset the entire market like I would the shadows. But by stocking up on the cheap eternals I have a chance to use or flip them anyway. I may miss a big market reset here, but I feel like I should play this one safe.
I hope when the servers go back online, I will be sitting in a good position in all of these markets.
I seem to think that the new glyph patterns are going to be sold by the inscription supplies vendor in Dalaran. I too had stocked up on books and am slowly trickling them back onto the AH… for a generous markup of course

The one use I can think of for eternal shadow was the new ammo made by eng, the schematic requires rep to learn so people won’t be buying up that much more of it for a while til they have the rep.

Thanks for the updates. This is why I added my little disclaimer and waited for the patch to post this. When these don’t work out so well, I will know why.

I’ve still got 74 glyph books and have found nowhere online suggesting that the new glyphs will be coming from them. I hope they are though, otherwise I have some slow inventory liquidatipon ahead of me

3 new glyph recipes are sold at Dalaran. Limited supply, but they seem to replenish fairly quickly.

KTQ broke for me since the patch. Updating addons with curse updater broke it. It won’t run because of missing dependencies. My bet is on Altoholic since it changed quite a bit.

KTQ broke for me after a Faction Transfer. Now I keep getting a message when trying to queue up items. Reset Altoholic and DataStore, but no luck.
Message: ..\AddOns\KevTool Queue\KevTool Queue.lua line 207:
attempt to call method ‘GetItemCount’ (a nil value)

This afternoon when I logged on and tried opening skillet I couldn’t see my craftables just one entry for Consumables (7). I found if i disabled KTSIC – SkilletItemCount, then I would be able to see all my craftables, however I now wouldn’t be able to use functions like /ktq queue 10 scarlet ruby. I’d press the macro and nothing, not even any chat spam.
Re-enabling KTSIC – SkilletItemCount, again brings back the earlier mentioned problem, and firing my macro scrolls chat with what items it’s looking for and trying to queue. Although not beign able to access by professions the tet is all white and nothing added tothe craft queue. Hope this helps.

Following up on my earlier comment, apparently it was an Altoholic issue that could be fixed by downgrading.

Confirming that Altoholic 3.3.001 (not 001b) gives an error on start-up, but allows my KTQ to function properly again.

Confirming above comments. Gold lovers everywhere cry for you Kev!
Comment by John — December 29, 2009 @ 12:47 am
found a work around. install the 3.3.001 (not 1b) and download the 3.3.001b file but only install the datastore_auctions file. no errors for me.
