Many professions got new recipes to craft Honorable Combatant PvP Gear.

There is a new series of weapon enchants which grant you 50 of a secondary stat for 30 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. Once a stack of 5 is reached, you gain 400 of that stat for 12 seconds. , , , ,

Blacksmiths have been able to create items to assist with lockpicking for a while, and now scribes can as well. is the lockpicking item for Blacksmiths and is the lockpicking item for scribes.

Engineers have three new belt enchants:

: Permanently attaches a specialized device to your belt, allowing you to fear an enemy within melee range for 5 sec.

: Permanently enchants a belt with a device, which when used projects a shield in front of the player, deflecting all incoming frontal attacks.

: Permanently attaches a specialized device to your belt, allowing you to remove any movement impairing effects every minute. Shares a cooldown with potions.

banana standCheck out our list of all BFA Profession Updates!Which professions will you be focusing on through the launch of Battle for Azeroth? Which professions do you like to have on your main character?/u/Redditrons_Roll_Out poses the questionWhat's your guilty pleasure? I just hit my first 1mil gold, and it seems exponential from here.

I really want the spider mount, but I also want a million other things. Alt boosts, mounts, pets, mythic carries, tokens, e-peen, Destiny 3 (lul), etc.

What kind of goals does /r/woweconomy set for itself?

Quote from a HS baseball coach (forever ago), "The moment you're satisfied with where you are is the moment you stop moving forward."/u/stevebobby found converting their gold to Battle.net Balance was the right decisionBnet balance, use Bnet balance to buy other Blizzard things, Hearthstone(expansions and packs), Overwatch(the game). Bought BFA, another version of the game for the 100 boost when it was on sale before xmas. Still sitting at max Bnet balance and 10 tokens, with 3+ mill in liquid.according to /u/GeneticsGuy, in a followup commentYa, I also find battle.net balance a good hedge against inflation. Always a surge in inflation as each new expansion hits, so offloading a lot of gold to your battle.net balance cap, you can always use that balance to buy tokens. Ya, there's the $5 extra cost per token, but if you sit on the cash long enough, you really do well. For example, when battle.net balance was a new thing I bought pretty much everything, 3 years of game time, all battle.net games I didn't own yet. Then, I capped out at the $350 limit (like $346 is where I am at). I managed to do this when tokens were about 80-90k a piece. It has far been more valuable for me to do that than almost anything else.

It at least gives you a good storage to diversify your assets in something you know is only going to go up in value./u/Ihatecilantr0 are just enjoying the economic side of the game, like meI've bought all the mounts I've wanted 850 unique pets, maxed my bnet, have a few years in time and help out some friends/fund my bf's hearthstone addiction. I invest a lot, about 40mil stuff on AH, 20 mil stuff in bank and 21 mil liquid. I play AH because I like it, not really for stuff to buy anymore./u/RebelliousKrimpy has been adapting their goals and targets as their journey as a goblin continuesMy goals were:

Cap battle.net balance for myself and my partner
Buy all games and addons of interest in battle.net store
Buy a mount for personal use

I achieved these a few months back and also splurged on some toys and a mount from the BMAH (, , , ) and am now considering goodies from the mad merchant (because why not).
A will probably be my next major goal.What are you spending your gold on? What's your most recent purchase for fun? What are you current objectives as a gold-maker?/u/exaltedbythesun is experimenting with a specific item on a low population serverI am trying to inflate the prices for on a smallish server where I haven't identified any whales, at least not in this specific market.

To that end I have been buying all the cheap Crystals (Fractured or not) and reposting them at the price I want them to sell.

If you were me, trying to do something like this with this or another mat, would you bother cycling the auctions between different alts who "undercut" each other? Or would you just repost everything with the same alt as a show of force? To be honest a "show of force" in my case would be mostly a bluff, because I don't really have any real liquidity, and a true goblin could easily push me out../u/mada98 tends to agreeYou wouldn't be the only one to ever think of or execute undercutting yourself on several alts to make it look like you weren't trying to control an item but it seems like a lot of effort compared to just selling on one character. You don't stand to gain a whole lot in my opinion though I've never tried it. People just buy whatever they need from anyone assuming they're not turned away by the price. I think some of us tend to look too deeply into it when 99% of the time people just buy the cheapest of whatever item they want./u/Mochaboys also shared some interesting insight to this with their own resetting experimentsLow pop server here and I've done this successfully across a few markets BUT, I did it without having to resort to posting with alts.

I'll be frank, I tried it once and it left me feeling a little dirty and all told, after all the effort involved, it ended up being a complete waste of time. In the end, when you're trying to control prices your goals are the following:

choke the underlying supply chain
prune listings and extending high buyout levels by buying out undercutters
or worst case scenario, push out undercutters (by signaling that you're willing to take a loss to undercut them - I usually do this by buying out their supply and reposting it back while undercutting them - this is an important calculation you need to make so you're clear on how much you're willing to spend to undercut someone and how much that impacts your overall profit...just make sure you remove emotion from this equation or you WILL lose out on profits).

The trick with making this work boils down your ability to sustain these conditions over a period of time. Usually a week is enough but I've sustained these conditions in various markets for over a month now successfully and defended against undercutters where necessary.

Here's some examples:

Saber's Eye Gems

When I dipped my toes in, were around 3.5-4k and was selling briskly at 5k...So I bought out all the and and kept buying it out without posting any back. I did this till I had about enough for 100 cuts across all the saber gems.

Then I watched the saber eye supply and waited for what I felt was the lowest supply then bought all those out and kept buying them out. So the first reset, I nudged the price from 3.5k to 4.8k. I waited for posters to unload their supply and bough them out slowly over the next week. On the next reset, I bought all the supply again then nudged the price up another 1.5k to 6.3-6.5k. I rode that slide out for a week until supply was low again and then I did something a little different.

I posted a few of my at ridiculous prices, like 8k per and suppliers followed suit surprisingly. When I saw they were biting and helping me put supply out of reach of anyone looking to compete, I bought and reposted the remaining saber supply at around 8.5k. So that last round was about 2 weeks ago and the prices for saber gems are still around 7k.

Now through all that, I diligently watched reposters and if someone undercut me by a significant margin, I didn't think twice, I bought them out - I categorize that purchase as a "cost of doing business" expenditure.

I did run into a few griefers who took advantage of my resetting, and this is probably the only place where an alt or alt army would come into play. You don't want any griefer undercutters knowing you're willing to reset, so this is one place I'd consider deploying alts. In my case, I didn't need to and I just kept buying out cheap supply and making sure it wasn't economical to buy pandemonite and flip it for a saber profit.

Mind you this was all on a low pop server, you'd need to be way more flush and way more aggressive on a higher pop server to sustain something for as long as I've sustained this reset.

Chaos Crystals
I tried this market and was NOT able to sustain a consistent reset of for more than a few days...there's just too much supply available period. I didn't lose any money with this reset, but I didn't make any either...though I did sell a boatload of enchants as a result of having to redeploy the mats.

Argus Gems
Totally resettable and extremely volatile. You can't sustain a reset in gems unless you control the supply. I spent about 200k just buying out item=151564] for a couple of weeks and although it helped, it was very difficult to sustain and be profitable. While gems do move, they just didn't move fast enough at a price that would justify continued buying out of .

The nice things with gems though are that when they drop below a certain threshold (if gem cost * 1.65 < 1 ) then you can buy out the gems and shuffle them over to (assuming you have a good supply of which everyone should). This shuffle has a couple of coincidental benefits in that:

it reduces the supply of gems
it shifts the risk of unloading and spreads it across 2 markets

So while you may make a little or break even in the shuffle, it's a great way to spread the risk and still possibly profit. Across around 1,000 sales, I'm in the positive using the Argus gem shuffle. (pro - tip and almost always sell for less than primal obliterum so keep an eye on those supplies).

Hexweave Bags
...wow this market is sick...I don't have an alt army to deploy towards making these but when I have reset this market - it's always been good to me, so take that for what it's worth.

So yeah that's just a short collection of reset efforts...there are certainly more I can talk about, but those reflect some of the tactics, strategies and criteria that I think you can apply to any market. It won't work for every market and all it takes is one nutbag to come along and ruin everyone's fun but then again - that's the game we play.

So just remember in your case, make small moves to lure out cheap supply and buy it all as it becomes available, then slow nudge prices over a few weeks and see what happens. I've tried the aggressive resets and I've found they drop faster than just nudging and consistent "pruning" of big undercutters.Have you ever attempted to reset a market on your server? What were the results? Have you been involved in a market that was reset by someone else? Did you benefit from that?Greetings,

So almost a year ago I released the first iteration of my hobby project to the wilds. I've worked much on the application since then, including rewriting both the front- and back-end (no more php). I have also changed the hosting service for the application.

The application allows you to get information relating to your realms auction house including crafting cost for any recipe (not necessarily from professions). You can set up rules for certain items (watchlist), that will be displayed in the dashboard given that they meet your criteria. This also include recipes you know that returns a positive ROI for those items.

The release was published a couple weeks ago, but the API have been stable for long enough for me to want to post about it here now. I hope some of you will find the new additions useful.

The application is available at: https://wah.jonaskf.net/ - Alternatively http://wah.jonaskf.net, if you have previously used the application. If so, I recommend moving your settings to the https version of the site. You need https in order to get notifications.

All the code is still freely available on GitHub

What's New

A page containing several dashboard displaying potentially profitable items and crafts.
Clicking on the button in the top right of a dashboard allows you to see all the auctions/items/crafts as well as a TSM string you can paste into the shopping panel in TSM.
Clicking an items name will open a view with more information about that item, such as all auctions of that item, any recipe that makes that item, what recipes that item is created by, a reset calculator and a graph illustrating the current AH prices for that item. This replaces the side window showing the auctions for an item.
You can now add your own proc rates for crafts in the settings. Meaning that you can change the number of items per potion of prolonged power rank 3 etc.
You can also define custom prices for items
As mentioned above, you can set up rules for certain items. Be it if x amount are up at AH, the item is below x% of the market value etc. When those criteria are met, they will appear in the watchlist dashboard.
You can now look up sellers both via dashboards (in the seller section) and via searching for them. Clicking on the sellers name here will open a detail view for that character.
In the not too far away future, you should also get a chart with a overview of item types this seller has up at the AH.

Feedback
If you have any constrictive criticism or wish to report a bug, do feel free to message me on Discord (you can find me in the woweconomy channel under the name ukon1990), in this thread (as the old one is too old to accept posts) or on Github.

How to install as a desktop app (Progressive Web Application)

So if you are using Chrome under windows (supposed to be added in Edge also some time).

Open the menu (3 dots) in Chrome
Go to "More tools"
Click "Add to homescreen"

Now you will have the web application as a desktop shortcut. The web application will now run independently of Chrome./r/woweconomy subredditDiscord serverstreaming live on Twitch@GumdropsEU

评论来自 Ellore I am leveling Inscription now. I think the Contracts for the different houses will be in strong demand, and will sell fast. Also leveling extra rogues for the weekly quest they get. Hope that it stays after BFA releases. 评论来自 ulvhund The big question is if Blizzard will continue the support for the AH-API as BFA is coming. As many noticed the API was down for almost a month after the new patch(7.3.5), sure it's been down for a longer time before, but Blizzard has not been transparent if/when/what.

Sadly the AH-API is not a part of WOW, it's not game-breaking and can be removed at any time. It's all up to the developers. @devs 评论来自 GordonBuchat I was saving up gold for the last year and slowing buying tokens to add to my bnet balance in anticipation of a pet/mount sale in the Blizzard shop.

And this past x-mas, it finally arrived. I had previously gotten nearly all the pets that had been previously on the 50% sale in the past, so this time around it was time to snap up the mounts.

In the end, I had all the pets and mounts in the shop except for the most recent color changing cat pet and matching cat mount, so I'll get those next time the 50% off sale roles around.

The next goal is to get the digital deluxe copy of BfA and the Legion deluxe pet/mount. 评论来自 Nynaeve Hey guys, there's a broken tag for 球中的小鬼 towards the end of the Spending your gold section.
Edit: Fixed now, thanks!

The trick is to reset it higher but not so high that other players think it would be profitable to get into. 评论来自 LilPika I have to say the webtool on my desktop is a nice addition. I can see myself using this a LOT!

Thanks for this!

I do sometimes get an error saying "The page you're viewing is not yet available on the new World of Warcraft website. Sorry for the inconvenience!" Any idea what causes this?

EDIT: I just took a look at the Chrome Console and I see this:

"Mixed Content: The page at 'https://eu.battle.net/wow/en/vault/character/auction/browse?login' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://eu.battle.net/wow/notification/list?locale=en-gb&community=wow-web'.

评论来自 Thoorin Market resets are complicated. My server used to be very small and backwards, but now it's somewhere middling thanks to getting into a cluster. I keep a stable of alts on the largest EU one for economy comparison though, and to shuffle across pets, usually for humongous profits: on my middling cluster, I can often buy rare pets that sell for much more on the other side due to bigger market, and there I can usually buy some that are cheap there, but more expensive on the cluster. This helped me to pump gold both ways and keep myself liquid on both sides.

I found resetting completely impossible on the large server. There's people there that got fortunes that dwarf mine, and there's nothing I can do. I even found a gal lording over linen cloth, and she was so heavy she simply bought me out, wishing me a good day, congratulating on diligence and idea, but making it clear she won't relinquish her hold. If there was anything scary, is that I tossed 100k at a seemingly abandoned and disorderly market, reposted for 120k in neat, big stacks and still got bought out in full, with her adding my entire stock to hers. She could just repost, whisper, all the hijinks you normally hear about, but... no. She just cleared me out, giving me my expected profit, and even saying what her CoD price is and encouraging me to just send directly to her, regardless if I farm or clean the AH when she's away. Really, really scary display of goblinity.

On the smaller server... the situation has what I describe as windows of opportunity. There are, apparently, few people actively posting, since the markets are shallow and turnovers are small, but there are people watching... and the second I touch and try to nudge some niche or other, once the prices start looking appetizing, all of a sudden I get tons of competition seemingly from nowhere... I spoke to another goblin I tend to meet at times, and they actually admitted to having a guildbank store of stock they normally just keep idle, waiting for situations when someone else resets and makes that particular stock profitable to list. 评论来自 Gothy Yup... back in Cataclysm I tried bringing up the prices on all the gems but I didn't touch the ore and there was just too much supply and not nearly enough demand. Major problem was someone posting massive amounts of gems at 3.x vendor prices or lower. So if anyone needs any gems I've got two guild bank tabs full! ;D 评论来自 kintotech For me, the most recent Big purchase I've made was the Yak vendor mount, mostly for the convienence and the achievement (and to up my mount total by one).

Admittedly, this was largely thanks in part to an army of alts farming class hall gold missions, two of which use Meatball for some easy 200% clears. 评论来自 Aralnda i would spend my gold on mounts and toys so i can get those achievements. I also spend it on seals and raid repair costs. I also would help out my guilod stock pile on flasks, pots, and food. Have to help support our raid progression after all! 评论来自 Kurias I enjoy these articles and look forward to them every week. I find it all very fascinating. I do have a question tho, what is the deal with posting stackable items one unit at a time? As someone who is a customer this is very frustrating if I need to buy lots of something and I have on many occasions purchased larger stacks even if the per unit cost were higher on larger stacks than on smaller stacks. I guess another question would be, at what point does customer convenice become important? I know that economists are starting to think in terms of convenience being more important than price in some cases for real life econmics, just wondering how that translates to WoW. 评论来自 toolongdidntread The big question is if Blizzard will continue the support for the AH-API as BFA is coming.
