Chaitee Grumbles and Keya Plows Forward

The bag business is underwater. It seems that soon after earning her millionth gold piece the market did a flip and prices plummeted. Chaitee is waiting not-so-patiently for pricing to rebound, but that hasn't happened. She has stacks and stacks of mats she refuses to post, determined to wait out the market. The fall is across the board - embersilk, frostweave, silkweave. The only bag still selling - and selling well - is hexweave bags, but it takes five days to craft one.

Chaitee has to face the fact that the market won't support her elevated prices, and being stubborn is costing her gold. For example, no one will buy a frostweave bag for 300g, not now, when the going price for the last week is 250g. Will she lose gold at that price? Actually, no, the mats to make a frostweave bag cost 100g, so she still wins. But it won't stop her from trying to game the market whenever she can.

A tougher challenge is the silkweave bag. Silk costs are now between 5-7 gold each. It takes 90 silk to make a bag, so at best 450g, but are listed for sale on the AH at 473g. Not much value there. Chaitee watches the AH and whenever the silk price dips to 4g per silk (360g per bag), she buys them. Farming them directly is easy but takes too much time. An hours worth of farming gets enough silk for 1-3 bags.

Meanwhile, Keya is making some very positive strides with her gear. A week ago her overall gear score was i883. Three upgrades later, highlighted by the purchase (for 65k gold) of a pair of Legion Season Four Warforged gloves and a relinquished ring pushed her gear score to i889. She needs two more invasions (which takes about three days) to get enough nethershards to get another upgrade that should push it to i900. Stay tuned.

Valarjar reached Revered, which leaves only The Wardens to complete the Faction section of Pathfinder. She is making steady progress on Legionfall as well with about 13k toward the 21k required.

Keya also started tracking Writhing Essence, which until recently she didn't even know existed. She was surprised when she earned a gear upgrade once she got 50 Writhing Essence. She upgraded her belt from i940 to i970 at that time. She only has 9 writhing currently. It's a slow process.

Oh, and she is now at PvP Honor Level 4.  :-)
