Owning the markets and why to buy out the market.

Never by out a market to reset the price. I read this post over on markets for gold (I think). . As I was sitting here reading that title I was thinking to my self Wtf? I have been owning the market on many items most notable the true gold and the frozen orb markets. Now both of these markets are limited items. While it is possible to get more orbs by doing more runs, it gets to the point of it is cheaper to buy a market out and reset the price to double the current market price or what ever the true value of the items are. For example on my server the cutting wars get so bad that at some times you can buy true gold for just about 400 gold but many times the bars sell for over 700 gold. So being able to control the market on limited supply items may be able to get you more gold then you think. So the basic response about it not being something you want to do, well that only is true on markets that have a low market entry. What I mean here is don't buy any items that are able to be mass produced for low to no cost. Since the mark up of the item is usually going to kill the re-posting value.

Crafting - Just in time inventory.

Having materials on you to make the inventory but not crafting any items. The idea behind this is to stock up on many crafting items, when the prices seem to be on a down slide. Then you will have a ton of materials so when the market looks good on one side then shift there. When the competition is to high then since you only make items to post you can move to a market that is less saturated.


What markets do you work in and how often do you craft? How many times do you feel like you post weekly?

Inscription. Guide.

Hey readers I wanted to let you know about a great guide that I found for getting that gold cap with only a crazy amount of work and dedication. You can see Croda's Inscription Gold Guide be sure to let him know that you like the guide so that we can keep seeing great content like that.

Pet Plethora. Dark Phoenix Hatchling

This Pet here is one of the pets that are really easy or really hard depending on how you want to look at it. You have to be part of a guild. The guild has to have 55 (different) Exalted factions. The characters who will help this count must be revered with the guild. You obtain him from the Guild Vendors.

Pet Plethora. Tiny Emerald whelp

Hey there just keeping track of how long it is taking me to get this Tiny Emerald whelp. So far i have  1:06:00 farming killing 130 Noxious Whelps with no luck. the location I was farming was only in northern feralace I am sure there are other places that I could get this same pet to drop but this place looked like it had the best drop rate that's why i choose it. I know there is going to be someone out there who is going to say something like well over at [fill in your own place] I killed [some low number of mobs] and got it on like the [low number relative to the first number]. The problem is tho that I work on the RNG and well some days it just doesn't like me.  I don't know why but if i withdraw more then about 5k from my mailboxes then the RNG hates me but if it was a bad day on the AH then the RNG loves me.

Pet Plethora. Parrot Cages

The pet of the day Parrot Cage (Cockatiel) you can find this pet along with the Parrot Cage (Senegal) Both selling for about 40s each depending on your reputation with the goblins. Both of these pets are Bind on use so pick up a few extra and sell them on the faction Auction house for about 3g each nice little profit of 2g after all the expenses and there is a pattern here too that is a limited supply item that sells for about 7g50s on the faction Auction house. Where can I get all of these great things from Josh?? Well you should head down to Bootybay and go talk to Narkk he can be found in the building at the cords of [42.73 , 69.20] I will be back in a few with more pets that you can get. I am trying to keep them all just as easy to get as possible and with working on this oracle rep still it is taking a while to get more pets that are longer process so you will still get on average 1 new pet per day.
