A few posts got me thinking of changing how I value some items for Stockpiles Going into MOP...
AOE Looting...
Go to an instance, pull the whole place (or in big batches) and AOE kill, AOE loot, and then have piles of cloth and dead bodies to skin as applicable, run out reset and do it again.. with all the greys and other thing people will be getting by doing this, Many player will devalue the cloth since they have so many other income sources when doing this, If it is done w/ a chanter at least in group... boom, chant mats, cloth, greys gold and other stuff. it will be fun to watch how the economy changes and what limits on drop rates blizzrd put on this if any... ... I see this having a big impact on some markets like the mid level cloths that are going to be easy to farm...
As of now, more money will be in MoP level herbs and ore... If time is money, mid level skins, ore, herbs and cloth will still be valuable since as of now. It is my guess that there will be more money in the time it takes farm in MoP, than in the time it takes to post many of the old stuff...
My thoughts, If its not reasonably rare and not going to be in reasonable demand, stockpiling it may not be as profitable as I was hoping, though I will continue to do so... and just plan on 48 hour auctions, and see what happens... What will happen to quest rewards? will they continue to scale w/ gold income per quest at cap, this is a bigger risk on the inflation/deflation question, and how you approach some things too...
Still more info from the beta that will shed more light on things... and time will tell, so far, it looks good...
So, given that I have miners, herbalists, skinners and enchanters as my disposal (plus engineering, tailoring, blacksmithing, leatherworking and alchemy), what would it be your best guess at stockpiling worth?
ReplyDeleteCloth for bags? Leather and/or herbs for new and levelling leartherworkers and scribes?
Choke point stuff i.e. end of expansion mats (Classic, BC, WotLK and cata)?
see the next post, I started to reply and it was turning into a a post all its own... enjoy and thanks for the question.
