New Shuffle Option

Well, maybe new. I dunno if anybody else has covered it, anyway.

Quick question: What's the best chest enchant? Chances are, most of you said peerless stats. Which is true, but also viewed by a lot of players as expensive. Which makes 15 stats very attractive to both players and goblins. Players feel like they're getting "more for their money" since on my server, scrolls of peerless stats go for around 2k and mighty stats goes for a little over 100. Its very attractive to goblins because the mats to make this scroll are a whopping 2 lesser celestial essence. You know, the ones we get tons of from DE'ing the rings, etc? Yeah, those. They sell for about 15g on my server. So by turning a few into scrolls and putting them up, you're basically turning 30g (plus a bit for vellums) into 100g or more, depending on your server.

Vendor Flip Tip

I have to admit, this really isn't a "vendor" flip for me, but it might start being one. Some enterprising goblin decided it would be a good idea to purchase the BC era limited supply blacksmithing patterns:

Adamantite Cleaver
Adamantite Dagger
Adamantite Maul
Adamantite Rapier
Adamantite Rod

Now, this goblin probably thinks he's clever because he's buying them from the vendor and auctioning them. For 10g. He's loving the fact that every one he puts up sells quickly and he's making 5g each. What he probably doesn't realize is that its ME buying them and reposting them for 50-60g. And selling every one of them on a server that it is ridiculously difficult to move "old" recipes on. I'm not sure if I want to disillusion him and start buying them direct from the vendor myself, or continue to make him happy by letting him do the grunt work for me. I'll probably just keep buying them as he puts them up because its a PITA to get to anywhere these things are sold without bugging PG to port me around.

Even if you're not lucky enough to have someone doing the grunt work for you, pick some of these up if you're near Shatt for whatever reason.

Quick tip

Got Inscription to 504 tonight. That last stretch is a real bear. I really want to be able to make the Darkmoon cards, but not sure I want to sink the gold into the mats for the relics for skill ups. The glyph market on my server is strange. I fully expected to be raking in the cash by now, but I've sold a total of three glyphs. I'm on what I think is one of the original servers, and there doesn't appear to be a lot of folks leveling that need glyphs. Maybe it'll pick up, not sure. Admittedly I've been in the glyph market for two whole days, so perhaps I should take Kathroman's advice and Just Wait. I did make a nice little pile on the mysterious fortune cards though. Think I'll keep making those as long as herb prices hold where they are.

Now to the tip: Obsidium Skeleton Keys. I had made a few of these when skilling up BS on my rogue and forgot about them. Then figured I would try to sell them and to my surprise, after a few clever barks, they sold like hotcakes. Unfortunately, the price of obsidium ore/bars has been prohibitive to them recently for me, but it dropped enough tonight that I put up a few more for 20g each. Two folded obsidium makes two keys, so that's eight ore per key. I picked up the ore for roughly 1g 50s each, which means eight cost me 12g. If the keys sell at 20g, that's 8g profit per key. Not too shabby, hopefully ore stays that low, as I'm currently the only person on my server making them. 

Some of the ads I've used to sell them are: (I should note that my ads get a bit cheeky at times, I have quite a following in /2 on my server to see what I'll come up with, but that's a post for another time.)

"Tired of looking for a rogue to open that lockbox that you just KNOW has a purple in it? Why wait?! Head to your local AH and pick up some Obsidium Skeleton Keys! No BS skill required!"

"Screw rogues and their lock picks! Your local AH is now stocked with Obsidium Skeleton Keys for all of your lockbox opening needs! No BS skill required!" (This one is usually followed by "Just kidding rogues, I love you all! Buy my stuff!")

And one of my personal favorites that due to a whisper I received I know led directly to the sale of ten keys:

"Can't find a rogue to open those lockboxes clogging up your bags? Head to the AH and buy Obsidium Skeleton Keys now! No BS skill required! To use them anyway, selling them requires some BS skills...."
