Merry Christmas! Go open your presents!
Dec 25, 2008 Auction House, Holidays
Short, quick post before I head to girlfriend’s parents’ for presents and dinner.
If you’re as lame as I am and you’re playing WoW on Christmas Day, go open your Christmas presents next to Greatfather Winter. I think the number of presents you can open depends on your level, five total presents for level 80. I also think there’s a good chance of getting one of the holiday mini pets in one or more of the gifts. And seeing as many people are going after the entire mini pet collection, now’s a great time to sell. The prices won’t stay up there for long, so get rid of em quick. You can always buy them back in a few days when there’s a lot larger supply. Prices on these WILL come down, they always do.
Merry Christmas everyone! I’ve got a few spiffy tools to give you in the next few days, they are almost finished!
Winter Veil Inflation

I’m sorry I didn’t get this post up sooner so you guys could start preparing. Wordpress has been giving me some trouble lately. If the most recent updates don’t fix it, I might have to move to a new blogging platform.
Winter Veil is finally here and so is the inflation. Most of us have seen it before - hundreds of gold for stacks of Small Eggs among other things. It brings back memories of WoW’s first Winter Veil and farming the hell out of owls in Teldrassil for eggnog.
With many players going after the Merrymaker title, a few of the player-created items are in very high demand. This demand has caused the materials to skyrocket in price, giving us an opportunity to earn some major cash. Seeing as this post is a little late, we won’t be able to invest in much. But some quick and easy farming, even on low level alts, will prove to be very profitable. Here are some items you should look out for and sell while the demand lasts:
- Wool Cloth and Bolts of Woolen Cloth
- Runecloth and Bolts of Runecloth
- Rugged Leather
- Copper Ore and Copper Bars
- Small Eggs
- Deeprock Salt - this is a big one, going for about 20g each on my server. Deeprock Salt can be turned in with 5g for five Preserved Holly.
The following may be profitable investments as they can be purchased cheaply from vendors. I’ve often started earning funds on new bank alts by selling a few Rune Thread on the auction house for a few hundred percent markup - the markup and demand are likely much more significant at this time of year.
- Rune Thread
- Green Dye and Red Dye
- Holiday Spirits and Holiday Spices
- Ice Cold Milk
Hopefully there’s still time for you to take advantage of the holiday madness. Let me know how you do!

Fireworks, ground flowers, and sparklers!
Jul 4, 2008 Auction House, Holidays
Happy 4th of July, everyone!
The Holiday Fireworks Vendors are out and it’s the only day of the year to get some insanely cheap Red, White, and Blue sparklers! According to Wowhead, the price of these sparklers averages anywhere between 4g and 7g - a pretty good return if you ask me. They will take up quite a bit of valuable inventory space though.
Like the snowballs, you’ll probably have to wait a few months before they actually reach this price. But I bet you could start selling today and make a gold or two per sparkler if there’s no competition.
So if you have a few extra character slots, store some extra sparklers and ground flowers for a rainy day! By the time you remember you still have a stock pile, they might be worth selling.
