I was a little worried after patch 3.3.3 went live as a lot of items I invested in didn’t experience the surge I was expecting them to.
However all my fears were set at ease yesterday as I checked up on the Eternal Fire and Titanium bar markets, which were the majorty of my investments
Eternal Fire
I predicted the rise in price of eternal fire due to everyone wanting to pump out titansteel bars now that the cooldown has been removed. I was aware that many players would convert frozen orbs into eternal fires which would cause a temporary supply dump after the patch was released but now that the majority of the dump is over there is nothing left to mass supply the AH of eternal fires.
I invested 12,300g into 861 eternal fires, that’s 15g each. The price has now climbed to 50g each as the minimum price. I don’t expect this price to be sustainable but I hope that it will settle at my predicted 30g each. Which would give me a 100% ROI or 12,300g profit.
Titanium Bar
I also invested a good deal of gold into 250 titanium bars, this market I expected to go up also due to the titansteel surge in crafting however this price isn’t dampered down by frozen orbs. That means that the current price should be the highest it’ll go and I only expect it to go lower as a flood of titansteel will bring down the price of titansteel thus bring down the cost of the main material to make it.
BoE Engineer Pets
This is by far my highest profit so far in the patch! I’ve been lucky enough that only 2 other engineers are attempting to make gold from this method which is slowing down the drop in price. I am currently selling these at 380g each and they only take 35g to craft. I’ve been selling around 2/day so far which is a nice 700g/day profit boost in my earnings. I’ll be honest and say that I have been slacking off on creating the pet bombling though, I need to get on that.
I’m curious to hear, what are you profiting the most from so far in patch 3.3.3?
Popularity: 2% [?]
Chalcedony seems to have dropped below my cutoff to make profit with the vendor the green gem rings scheme.
I infested in around 1400 Frozen orbs (4-15G per Orb) and thinks going well. Selling them at around 30G each.
Invested in none of the items you mentioned above luckiely. Eternal Fire did fell in price and the rest stayed the same.
Lil’ Smoky is selling for 75G with around 20G mats costs.
I’ve had an amazing Tue-Thu, mostly from my Glyph business, Titanium Bars and, strangely Infinite Dust. I’ve definitely made profits in Frozen Orbs my Gem Business (especially Fractured Cardinal Rubies) and other miscellaneous stuff. One nice quick hit I got was on the Bomber pet. Minutes after the server was up I found an Engineer who tells me the AH was broken (it wasn’t for me) and was selling the pets for 100g. I had him make me 7 and then flipped them for 250-250g each over the next few hours (by now there are so may that 100g is about right). All told I brought in about 15,000 over the three days. Anyone else see a spike in the price of Infinite Dust? I had a large inventory because the price had dropped to around 1g but I’ve been selling the heck out of it all week for as much as 3g each.
On a final note, I made out like gang busters on Tuesday because I believe my major Glyph competitor was either out of the game for some reason or had addon problems like I did initially because I owned owned the market most of the week. Up until now I’ve used a 25g fallback price but when I notice the lack of competition I upped it to 40, jacked up my production level and steadily sold glyphs about as fast as I could make them for 40g. You could tell there was a supply problem because Trade was full of LF Scribe offers (where I sold many Glyphs for 50g, my mats).
Forgot to mention a nice tactic I fell into this week with regards to Trade Channel deals. Basically I was able to use Frozen Orbs as “sweetener,” effectively selling them in the process. So by Orbs have a cost basis of 12-15 but were trading between 35-50 on patch days so if I was a couple hundred away from a deal I would just offer to make up the difference in Orbs. Worked like a charm
The lesson, of course, is don’t forget to get creative in your one-on-one deals; you never know what someone ele will accept.
Infinte Dust raised because it’s used for Bolt of Imbued Frostweave which is part of Moonshroud, Ebonweave and Spellweave which got their cooldowns removed as well.
Already sold alot of that dust…
Buying Saronite or for 12g per stack, smelt, transmute wo titanium bars, sell 75 per stack of 3.
Best money maker atm for me.
Sold a few pets at around 500, currently selling around 350g each. In trade I sell them 300g each or both for 500.
Also found tons of stacks of thorium for 10-12g per stack, which I am turning into GEEs for a nice profit.
ivested 20k in frozen orbs (they went for 10-12g each) now they climbed all the way to 35g each! needless to say im almost tripled my roi!
Sold 9000g worth of pets (profit – costs). Made 3,000 off Titanium bars via the transmute. Made 5,000g off the glyphs in 3 days(Not sure why exactly, but glyph sales seemed to skyrocket).
Interestingly enough, I decided to sell off all my frost lotus pre-patch and start selling herbs to the massive amount of people buying mats for flasks and have been selling Lichbloom at 55g A STACK. This has netted me around 3,000g.
A couple tips for everyone! I’ve found that despite the flask prices dropping to around 20g per on my server, that stacks of 20 can still be sold for 600g~ for the heavy raiding guilds who buy in bulk without checking the prices (or the newbies that don’t use Auctioneer to see that they’re more expensive) so I’ve continued to make hefty profit off the flask market.
Sadly I wasn’t able to get on the frozen orb bandwagon before the prices jumped too high on my server pre-patch because I didn’t check this website in a while =P
Finally returned my Total Gold Acquired from negative to positive again with this patch though, and was at 100,000g and 40,000~ in the bank of materials.
Titaniumbars raised about 30%, same did eternal fire.
Chalcedony fell almost to my cutoff for vendoring rings.
Eternal earth raised in price about 60% which I hadn’t expected that much. Sure, it’s also used for titansteelbars but there was always a higher supply of earth than fire. So it’s curious to me why earth raised twice as much as fire.
Additional, all rare gems but scarlet ruby fell below 10g each. Forest emerald and twilight opal breached through 5g support level (bought some for 3g50s). That’s accompany with the fact I havn’t seen any epic gem drops so I expect people rather replace rare gems at their alts with epic ones than selling them.
That all may be caused by the smaller server I’m playing on.
Forgot to mention:
I expected raising prices for glacial bag due to added 7 days cooldown.
So I bought some Moonshroud and Ebonweave when they start falling in price (due to incoming removal of cooldown). Curious that they now selling at ~500g each (not many but there are some now) and before the patch there almost weren’t any at sale so I always put them on 999g each.
I alredy bought 2 of them for 500 and current bidding on 3 further hoping the price will level off at around 700 (which is my cut off from former bought fabrics). If not, I’ll equip my alts.
Good thinking Bachus, never even thought about the glacial bags. =/
My server had the opposite effect on Eternal Earths. The price raised for like the very first day, now they’re around 40% of normal price. Gonna pick them up with the intention of the price returning to normal.
Fires have dropped down to 10g per! On a heavy debate as to whether I should buy them or not.
holy shit.. 30g for eternal fire ? on my realm its not higher then 12g even after the patch..
