So Many Points, So Little Time

Sell em while you got em!

Blizzard recently announced that Valor and Conquest Points would be converted to Justice Points and Honor Points.  Since these points are capped at 4k, if you are above the cap, you should use your points in the next two weeks in order to avoid a reduced pay off.  Read on past the jump for details.

The Impending Pet Market Crash

The Impending Pet Market Crash

With the looming release of Mists of Pandaria, many of us have seen or even taken part in the profitable pet business.  It has been great to buy pets from vendors like Donni Anthania and flipping them on the opposite faction or neutral auction houses for ten times their vendor price.  But I’m afraid this may come to a screeching halt with the new patch.  Read on past the jump to find out why.

Four Easy Steps to Set Up a Profitable WoW Business

There are many examples of making gold in World of Warcraft based on real life examples.  The most common are just selling your wares that are profitable or buying low and selling high on the Auction House (aka Flipping).  Then there are some examples that display “out-of-the-box” thinking, like selling crafting kits by stockpiling and then advertising on your server’s forums.

The later idea got me thinking… I have an uncle (IRL) who makes a ton of money running a pawn shop.  People come to him for loans giving him stock as collateral and if they don’t pay he resells it.  People also just sell stuff to him because they are pretty well guaranteed that he’ll buy it.  So, what if someone set up an in-game pawn shop?  Read on past the jump to see how it works.

A little bit about Candlefly’s Gold Adventures

Who am I?

Welcome, friend!  I’m Candlefly!  My user decided to create me for the Mists of Pandaria Launch.  He wanted to start fresh and put what he knows (or dosen’t know) to the test.  He had been playing World of Warcraft since the Burning Crusade expansion on private servers (Amateur!).  He finally went legit when Wrath of the Lich King came out and a friend convinced him that legit was better than private servers.  My user finally wised up!  He created some lame Blood Elf Paladin that he leveled to 80 during Wrath (Who could blame him?  Goblins weren’t playable then).  When Cata came out, my user’s friend quit because of Druid HoTs getting nerfed, he switched realms and factions and leveled another Paladin from scratch up to level 85.  He started a few alts and finally found that there is so much more to WoW than Paladins.
