Well, 4.3 hits EU today. I think im fairly close to prepared, but its kind of too bad if im not because the servers have gone down.


I managed to get all the gems prospected, all the rings made, disenchanted, and the scrolls started on.


I can finish the rest tomorrow when I log in I guess, after the invariable crap with addons etc.

So, for the past couple of weeks, I've noticed this person posting gems on the AH. Nothing strange there you might say.  However, read on, to find out why I suspect him.


This character, is a level 1, we shall name him... Pleb. Pleb seemingly has no brains. Hes practically camping the AH for 2-3 hours at a time, just to maintain his auctions as No.1. You undercut him, he reposts immediately. You match his auctions... he undercuts you and his previous postings. This hasnt gone un-noticed by the JC guildies who also post.


What the heck do we do with this idiot? Hes pretty much single handedly contributing to the tanking of the gem market. 


And, dont get me started on the complete lemming who, the other day when I had red gems posted up at 200g, (and selling them like hotcakes I might add) decided for some reason unknown to anyone but themselves, to undercut by 100g. Just why the heck would you do that? I can understand the undercutting, but why oh why would you wish to reset the red 40 stat gems (it was either agi, str or int I dont remember now) to 100g instead of taking advantage of the Wednesday raid reset to maximise profits. Needless to say, I bought him out, and took advantage of his gems and profitted on every single one.
Well, This was meant to be originally titled "Where has all the Rum Ore gone?"  but it wont let me strike through a title. However, this is a very good question.


Today, I managed to snatch up some Elementium Ore. More than I wanted to really pay for it, but still. Spent 5k on it, prospected it, turned the Carnelians, Hessonite and Nightstones into blue quality gems, the rest, was shuffled and disenchanted. Zephyrites are going on the AH, in stacks of three. Lets see if those sell. Sure as hell beats cutting and vending them anyway.


Anyway, back to the title of this post. Where HAS all the ore gone? There is a distinct lack of ores on the AH at the moment. Obsidium is selling for majorly stupid prices. By that, I mean over 50g a stack. Really, what the hell? Usually, you can count on your friendly bot prolific farmer, to be flooding the AH daily with cheap ores. But nothing, nada.


Still trying to get my head round the setup of TradeSkillMaster. I'm slowly getting there however.

Well, I didnt feel like doing anything much today, so after last night's mammoth crafting session of gems etc, today, I went about a little AH-PVP. I camped out at the AH most of the afternoon and evening, posting, and reposting all those blue quality gems I had cut. As soon as there was a significant amount of people undercutting me, I cancelled and reposted.


Well. It worked. I held most of the gem market (I say held, but really, in effect, just offloaded a ton of cut gems lol) until I logged off a little earlier, and had also made myself a cool 9k on the DK who is my JC toon.


This has left me however with a little dilemma. Do I continue to shuffle gems the way I have been? Turn all into necklaces and rings, mail to Priest, disenchant, mail mats to bank alt/stockpile and then cut the blues into gems and vend, banking the rares... or, do I keep cutting the blues (they dont turn into jewelry) and then transmute the rest of the gems into the rares, to repeat this method at a future date?


If I go down the transmute route, this then leads to yet another dilemma. I dont have a transmute specced alchemist, and I'm not really sure I wish to give up my elixir spec on the Paladin. I guess I could drop mining on the DK (She has mining and JC) and take Transmute spec on her, it would cut out the mailing back and forth, but I would need to either buy the herbs, or farm them up on the Hunter or Paladin. One other option would be, to level this Mage I have at level 11, and train herbalism and alchemy on her, and take transmute spec. Im guessing that is probably the most viable option of the three. I am loathe to drop the DK's mining.


I guess I have a while to contemplate this, as currently, there is NO cheap ore on the AH. I suspect I will be waiting until the weekend when the slightly less scrupulous people flood the market... I hope. The new patch date has been pretty much estimated for beginning of December, and therefore, people may well be stockpiling now.


I sure as hell hope not.

Well, I've been quiet on this front for a few days, because I've been nerding the levelling of my Rogue. Shes gone from 41, to 75 in just over a week. Hoping to get to 85 by next weeks reset so the gearing process can begin. Im taking extra care to level her professions as she goes along though. Dont fancy grinding those out at 85.


In other news, Cazmia killed heroic Halion in Ruby Sanctum tonight.
