wow Goblin News: Oct 13

[Stan 5,018]

The latest news revolving around WoW's economy.

Chaos Crystal Supply

Expect price drops for Chaos Crystals as the supply has greatly increased, because of the latest hotfix:

• Emissary Chests now award epic items, which can be disenchanted into CCs.
• If you're sitting on a lot of crystals, now wouldn't be the best moment to sell them.

A Good Time to Sell Mageweave Cloth

Due to this very niche issue, people hated with Gadgetzan (players who did Bloodsail rep) aren't able to complete their Engineering quest line. The only way to do this is to turn in plenty of cloth to reset their reputation back to Neutral. This is why Mageweave Cloth should see a spike in demand.

• It's unknown if Blizzard plans to address this issue with a hotfix, until then, you can start selling cloth like crazy.

Darkmoon Daggermaw Reminder

This is just a reminder for anyone who hasn't read our Darkmoon Daggermaw gold making guide yet.

• Darkwater Skate is purchased for 500x Darkmoon Daggermaws in Patch 7.1. For more details visit our guide.

Do I Have Any Rare Recipes?

Having rare recipes, especially as a Tailor e.g. Sunfire Handwraps or any other patterns that have already been removed from the game is always a nice money maker.

• If you're not entirely certain whether you own any recipes that could yield profit and you've been playing the game for long, try to use this tool. It will sort all your learned profession recipes by rarity.

Patch 7.1 Potion Killer?

Potion of Prolonged Power is added in Patch 7.1 and the Blood of Sargeras vendor won't help Alchemy either.

• We'll have to test out how the new potion is compared to Potion of the Old War that provides an approx. 2.5% damage increase.

So  the Pattern:  Sunfire Robe is BoP.  I think you might need a better example.  

Cloth:  http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/3811496849

I meant the Handwraps and of course other patterns with extremely low drop rates e.g. Pattern: High Society Top Hat or such that have been entirely removed from the game e.g. Pattern: Robes of Arcana. It's awesome that you can still buy them if you're lucky enough and then sell for transmogs.

So my Priest can make the Robes on Arygos if you are in a pinch.  Haven't even thought of recipes that have been removed for Transmog.

I see things differently now.  As you only need to buy it once, I feel that things will slow down.  Thoughts?

What exactly do you mean by slow down? Personally, I think it's worth investing every single copper in these rare patterns.

• Many may not realize the true value of the item or the fact it's removed from game
• You may just have found a great gold making niche in xmog with almost no or very limited competition given the pattern's rarity.
  • You can set your own pricing if there's no competition.

Stan,

What I mean in slowing down (Prices to fall / devalue) is now that each account only needs 1 of the item ever to learn.  Do you think that Transmog will eventually slow down or do you think new players will always be looking for the next best set?

I don't really think it should have any big impact on the market. It's more for veterans who appreciate a truly unique look and are ready to pay the price for it. Having an xmog that's not around any longer is better than being equipped in a full Tier set. I see dozens of people running around in Tier 6 sets all the time. Speaking from my personal PoV I want people to remember my xmog, I don't want to look like anybody else.
