Attacking the Patch

Filed under: Auction Report,Patch Notes — Tags: , — Kevmar @ 2:11 am

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  I have not watched the notes that close this time so there could be some ideas I have that are way out of date.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.

Portable Hole

Next patch there is going to be a new BoE bag that you can pick up from a vendor. What I plan to do is pick a few up and try to sell them before I equip them. So don’t buy any more than you plan on equiping.  But be ready for these to fly at the right price.  I may end up parking an alt next to the vendor so I can quickly restock. 

It is called a Portable Hole and will be sold by Haris Pilton.  I saw this mentioned a while ago and not many people picked up on it.  So I thought I would mention it again.
