Stormwind Revival "Of Sorts"

Stormwind Revival "Of Sorts"

Java, Chaitee, and Tiphaine spent time in Stormwind this week.

So Chaitee turned in her AH badge to Java, who is now capably handling that role. Tiphaine, however, is a little worried that the Auction House is not producing the level of gold they have become accustomed to. Some new bidders are pushing down prices at levels that are making Java very nervous.

Sista is doing everything she can. She has cleaned out Naxramas and spent an hour farming the Maw of Madness in the Twilight Highlands (and spending a potion of treasure finding to increase the take). Tiphaine wondered if even more could be done. Sista wanted a say in that, but Tiphaine calmed her down. For now Sista is doing all she can.

Tiphaine decided to try out another idea. What if someone other than Sista did a clear of the Bastion of Twilight? Sista can only run it once a week and has already made this week's run. She thought about who to send out on that second mission. Shrugging, she decided to make the run herself. Not being a tailor, she knew there would be fewer cloth to gather, but she was hopeful there would be some value in the run.

She used the same method Sista uses - resetting the raid after doing just the first part. That allowed her to run the first part of the raid ten times, and only on the tenth run do a full run. Tiphaine was a bit awkward and rusty, but she had nothing to fear. The mobs went down easily. As she worked, she could tell that far fewer cloth was being dropped than what Sista collected. In an average run she would amass around 800-1000 cloth. Without a tailor, she drew only 140 cloth from the entire ten runs of the raid. That is far too low for the time spent.

And, as she was not an enchanter, either, she couldn't disenchant the grear that dropped. She could only send the gear that wasn't soulbound to Sista to disenchant. Overall, a disappointment, but at least she learned some things.

Tiphaine remains worried. Java has earned 43k gold since she took over, now sitting on 660k. In past weeks past she took in 2-3 times that much. in the same period. The world of Silvermoon is an old world. Buyers and sellers are fewer. Prices fall when goods go unsold. The Autumn Tea Green Guild has a deep reserve of gold in the bank, but there could come a time when even that source may have to be tapped.
