Auction House Roulette

Auction House Roulette

The great Auctioneer addon that Happy and now Chaitee have depended on remains on its' deathbed.  I counted at least six coders working on the auctioneer addon, but the outcome appears grim. Legion coding has significantly altered and damaged the pre-legion code and there may be no way to revive this patient. One can only pray for a miracle.

In the meantime, Chaitee attempted to find value in the other AH addon, Auctionator, but it is completely inadequate. Chaitee will stick with the vanilla Blizz version.

Even so, Chaitee is working small miracles to keep the gold flowing, but her creative efforts yield less and less value. Chaitee has decided to gamble. This morning's AH find of the day is felblight. The mat usually sells for 60 gold plus each. The market reels back and forth, and hovered at 35 gold each early today. Chaitee started buying. Not to resell the felblight, but passing the felblight to Tiphaine to be crafted into high end weapons and gear. With the lower price of felblight, a Savage Steelforged sword now costs less than 2500 gold to make, and should sell in the 14,000 gold range. That's a big profit.

It's a risky venture. There will be a point when players will simply stop upgrading their gear and wait for Legion's bounty of new gear. But the full release of Legion is still a month away, and players are still buying. Java routinely checks the AH to see if a player has given up and posted high end gear at a bargain price. Java got lucky just this morning, buying a pair of gloves that cost her 700 gold - the price yesterday was 4000 gold. Java is hoping to compete with gear equal to Tiphaine's by the time Legion arrives using this method. Java's gear is now i631. Reaching Tiphaine's i674 may not be attainable, but it won't be for lack of trying.
