Monday Musings - New Markets?

Well, once again the weekend betrayed me in getting any posts done. I honestly did have some stuff in mind but then I got caught up in other stuff. I was out most of Saturday anyway and that can throw things out. But if I can i may even double or triple post today or tomorrow.

As I mentioned I have been lazily leveling by visiting bonfires. It speaks to a more automated play style. You fly somewhere, visit fire and fly again. This can enable you to do other stuff, in theory. Like getting setup to watch the last 2 seasons of Lost. I have been rather vocal with people about not talking about it around me.

But I should also be trying dancing around the fire poles. That combined with heirloom gear should help with leveling. Maybe devote some time to my rogue. I only have a week left.

Also, I have been wondering about stockpiling. A wonderful piece of advice from Stokpile is to buy and stock so you don't run out. And I have started doing that with certain items at certain prices. Stacks of Netherweave below 8g and Frostweave below 10g are always bought out. Started doing the same with Infinite Dust when below 2g each. And I got a number of Large Brilliant Shards yesterday at a very good price. In fact got around 60.

So what does that mean for my Warlock. Well, I am sticking with the bag market. He's still 70 so I have a while before getting into the spellthread. But I am stockpiling like crazy. I am not going to run out of bags, certainly not Frostweave. But i have gone from 2k gold on him to under 200g. Does this worry me? Well a bit but not as much as it normally would because I know that I should get it all back and more. Especially if the enchants I have started on sell. Shame that righteous orbs are going for 100g each. But i had some in storage.

Besides, I am doing well elsewhere. Pets are selling well. My engineering ones are up to 300g each in some cases. I am trying to expand a bit too.

Something I am starting to look at is the engineering market. I have a maxed out engineer so I am looking to move beyond pets. Engineering is great for quest items...

Gyrochronaton
Dealy Blunderbuss
Mithril Casing
Khorium Power Core

To name a few. Elemental Seaforium Charges will sell in lots of 4 for making the flying machine (assuming the haven't been removed). But there are some other things I have wondered about. Steam Tonk Controller for example. Someone is trying to sell them for 100g. But will they sell.

What about the lunar festival launchers and fireworks? I am on an RP realm so they might. Got to make the price worth it as they are one shots but if no-one else is selling them. So I am looking at getting into a new market with no knowledge on how it will do or how to start. Keep reading and I hope to tell you how it goes.
