Archaelogy Updates and AH Tank Sales for 4.1 "Call to Arms"

Hey folks!

I really need more time in the day. I missed another post yesterday. But I got some schtuff that you will be interested in coming very, very soon! First off, I am covering Arch changes, then afterwords I am hitting up an upcoming AH sales platform. So sit back, enjoy your third (ok, maybe fourth by now) cup of java, and read up!


Extinct Turtle Shell                                                                               Vyrkyl Drinking Horn

Pterrodax Hatchling

Ancient Amber

Voodoo Figurine

Haunted War Drum

Nothing major coming out, but if you had already invested your time, there are some pretty decent pets and a nice shield (since the "call to arms" is going to be a heavy hitter).

Now to emphasise this point a bit, you will see some upcoming sales for tank gear. Dust off that Blacksmith and make some PvP Crafted gear (As they have seen a small spike, and more to come) like the Ornate Pyrium set and the Bloodied Pyrium set, any "higher end" i359 craftables, shields etc. I have been stockpiling for a few days any 80+ tank gear from my "flipping" process (see a post here on how to's) and will be dumping them come 4.1.0 drop.

Now for the Alchemists and Chefs out there, get ready for a spike in your "buff food" and tankable "drinks"; Earthen Potion, Elixir of Deep Earth,  Mushroom Sauce Mudfish, Blackbelly Sushi, and many more. Ask around in your guild for the heavy hitting tanks and what they use, and that will be what you want to sell. EZ money, ez profits!

Now get on your AH and get busy! If any tanks read this, holler in comments what you are currently using for "buffing" and help out your fellow AH PvP'ers! Thanks ahead of time! Till next time folks!

Jan 18 Hotfixes and How They Affect You

Not a whole lot of Gold"ish" changes, but there is a major one, Lifebound Alchemist Stones (see below for the new scoop).

Professions

• Archaeology keystone fragments can no longer be prospected.

Truthfully, didn't even know about this one. So really, it doesn't affect me, but it might affect you.

• Lifebound Alchemist Stones can no longer be disenchanted.

I know that alot of folks were doing this, so expect the prices of Malestrom Crystals to go up "back to normal" around 2K'ish (they have been around 800g to 1K lately).

Now this point is a long shot, but I believe that you will see a slight drop in herbs/Volatile Life due to this. Remember, Blizz is planning on more Alchemist stones in 4.0.6, and from what I understand, they are D/E'able. So get while the getting is good if the mats do start dropping in price. Because we all know soon they will be right back up. Ya Hear?

• Darkmoon Card: Volcano now triggers from periodic damage.

This will be a slightly higher incentive for sales, you might want to bark in trade if you are selling in /2 that there was a hotfix. Keep people in the loop and you will get sales!

• Free Action Potions now cannot be used above level 80.

Once again, this does not pertain to me as I haven't PvP'd in forever. I am sure it affects some of you folks out there, and I am sure this doesn't make you too happy.

Arenas

• Ring of Valor has been temporarily disabled until select bugs can be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Seeing this tells me that 4.0.6 is soon. Make sure you check back on my other posts to start getting prepared (unless you already have been).

Well folks, that's what popped out for me, but as usual, there are others that I did not post over at Blizzard's Hotfix, check it out.

PTR Update Jan 14- Archaeology - Vendors - Stranglethorn Vale

 Only a few changes (and I am a day off getting it to you), but I don't want one to slip by....do you blame me? Nothing really major from what I can see, but I am really interested in the Arch "values"...similar to a 5K card? Not getting your hopes up, but I think Blizz has something up their sleeve for adding to this "profession", and this is just a small start.

Archaeology:

• The sell value of all common artifacts has been doubled, while a small subset of common artifacts have had their sell value increased far beyond that.

To keep them or toss in bank and sell? Six in one hand, half a dozen in the other. Decisions, Decisions....I would keep them in case they are one of the "small subset" Blizz mentioned...

Items:

• The Honor Commodities and Justice Commodities Vendors now sell raw tradeskill materials. These are not intended to be a cost-effective source of these materials, but an option for players with lots of Justice or Honor Points who have already purchased all of the gear that interests them.

Update: I just noticed that Mageshadow hit this on JMTC earlier, and I am not gonna comment, just check it out for yourself, he covered this one quite thoroughly.

Quests and Creatures:

• Chief Engineer Scooty, formally of Booty Bay, has packed up his Gnomeregan teleporter and lugged it up to Grom'gol in Northern Stranglethorn to better accommodate his Horde customers.

I missed this guy. I wonder if his travels were due to Hagor da Goblin....Something is brewing....
