I loved the way you swat away all the cobwebs of confusion and get to the point.<br />Transitive property farming: awesome.<br /><br />A guildie of mine keeps bringing up bizarre stupid mats (e.g. Essence of Undeath), asking me where to farm them, etc. I know there's no point in directing them to the auction house, some people just like wasting their time. They feel like they're cheating if they don't farm everything themselves. <br /><br />But as you say, everyone has a line somewhere. For some reason, some people feel like the Auction House itself is the line. It doesn't matter how much of their gold-making time gets freed up by buying items instead of farming them.<br /><br />As for why they buy the cut gem but won't buy Volatile Fire - they have wasted so much time farming stuff that they never got around to leveling a Jewelcrafter. >;P<br /><br />Keep the posts coming!WoWMidashttp://wowmidas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935547461251083572.post-36791342403236165102011-01-14T15:25:19.512-05:002011-01-14T15:25:19.512-05:00But I mean, I do about 1.5k per hour farming fires...But I mean, I do about 1.5k per hour farming fires in hyjal xD , but I havent found any way to do more gold/hour than that, then whats the "farm something worth more - or easier to acquire "<br /><br />The volatiles fires in hyjal are my top gold/hour, maybe thats lame but I rlly dont know any better way to do more goldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935547461251083572.post-9412212134563507842011-01-11T07:21:10.798-05:002011-01-11T07:21:10.798-05:00Would have like to seen you included in the Cold&#...Would have like to seen you included in the Cold's Gold Factory Blogging Carnival.

If there are Khorium ore at the AH 60g a piece, to continue your example, and everyone chooses outraged to just farm his own, the Khorium won't sell.<br /><br />I'm not saying one should go to farm his mats by himself if he doesn't like the prices on the AH. I wouldn't do that.<br />And those who do so, certainly make less money than they could... But your talking about outrage, and I think that if they can hurt with 15 minutes farming, the man who made them angry, they someway succeed in their goal.<br />(obviously for things like volatile fire they're not hurting anyone, since there is already a lot of demand. They can do some damage just on low-demand items)Kreatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571831836241277782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935547461251083572.post-83115228779241359762011-01-11T03:24:03.733-05:002011-01-11T03:24:03.733-05:00I rarely get in the mood to farm nowadays, as any ...I rarely get in the mood to farm nowadays, as any time spent farming is less time I could be leveling some of my PvP alts to get into easy Tol Barad defenses. <br /><br />Like yourself though, sometimes a particular herb's current pricing will compel me to unleash my gatherer. Unfortunately the highest traded herb at the moment is Heartblossom, which is not even remotely worth the time to farm even at 280g/stack - Deepholm got the nerfbat on spawns a bit too hard IMO.Azurielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581263347888757710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935547461251083572.post-10073850709295599322011-01-11T02:47:36.222-05:002011-01-11T02:47:36.222-05:00Outstanding post.

I want every action I take to have value--and if I'm farming I can't (usually) quest or raid. <br /><br />When I am forced to farm, it is only for high value items. My server still has Cinderbloom going for 175g/stack. I will spend an hour farming this herb and sell the 8-10 stacks I get for good money.<br /><br />And the Vol Life that I dig up feed my daily Xmute--so my 15 Vol Life (value: 8g each) is turned into 15 Vol Air (value: 49g each).<br /><br />My hour of farming thus generates over 2k of revenue. Hard to calculate what my time is worth but I'm sure at 2k gold its worth it.Kammlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052373093776001210noreply@blogger.com
