One More to Go

Just 3 more weeks of doing celestial tournament and I’ll finally own all 4 pets. It has only taken forever…..
WoW
Dabbling in a few sales
I haven’t had a lot of free gaming time lately, and when I’ve had a moment here or there I wasn’t really playing world of warcraft, instead I found myself in Minecraft, ARK, and a few other single player games that I’ve collected on steam (Slay the Spire). I AM still playing WoW, but it’s been pretty reduced. There’s a lot of excitement about the classic servers, and last week I went and made my characters on the PvE RP server. I’ve got another post about that already, so there’s no need for me to state it all over again.
In any case, one of the things I’ve been getting into more lately is pet battle sales (this is also something I’ll miss about Classic, since there are no pet battles). I play on two servers, a high population and a low population. The high population has a different set of pets that are more readily available at a lower price, typically those from dungeons, raids, and island excursions. The lower population realm has a lot of crafted pets for a cheaper price, along with world obtained pets.
I’ve been comparing pets in the two markets and purchasing the lower cost ones on one server to re-sell on another. The thing is, you need volume, and I’m not quite there yet, so I’m only making a little bit of gold a day, but profit is still profit, and I figure if I keep at it for a bit I’ll slowly get there. Plus I still need a way to make coin on the server where I buy all these pets at, it does no good to run out and then to be unable to purchase anything.
Since TSM won’t keep track of my stats across server (ie: I purchase a pet and transfer it, I lose the info on how much I purchased it for when I am on the other server) I’ve been tracking it in a simple google doc instead. I don’t need to know much information, I just want to know what I purchased the pet for, how much I sold it for, and what my profit is. After two days, keeping track is pretty good. It doesn’t take much time, and I’m looking forward to paying attention to any trends I notice. As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
Preparing for Classic
I’ve finally settled on a few things for WoW classic. My name was taken across all of the servers I wanted to play on (and then I received DM asking if I wanted to pay and buy them back.. uh no thanks) so I created my three and now it’s just a matter of settling on the one I actually want to play as my main. I created a human paladin, a human warrior, and a night elf druid. I’m probably going to main a paladin or a druid, I want the ability to tank, heal, or DPS depending on my mood. Ideally I’d like to spend most of my time in classic tanking, because it’s one aspect of gameplay that I’ve never really given a chance. I’ve always been too scared, I’ve always valued the opinions of strangers over my own abilities.
That’s something I dearly want to change.
Are you going to be playing WoW Classic? What faction / race / class? I am pretty sure I’ll be going alliance, but I do also want to set up some horde characters somewhere. Are you doing anything special to prepare for the launch next week (that’s right, it’s coming up fast)? Have any addons that you just can’t live without? Let me know in comments and as always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!
Whatever Happened to the Road to 5 million Gold?
In January (or maybe it was February?) I decided that I wanted to do blog posts about working my way to 5 million gold as a casual player.
So whatever happened to those posts and goals?
They took a big ‘ol crap, that’s what. I got bored, life got busy, and I ended up spending almost all of the money that I had accumulated, so now I have about 500,000 gold to my name and my dreams of purchasing the auction house mount from BFA have pretty much been dashed and smashed all over the ground.
I’m contemplating starting back up again and trying to inch my way forward – but – with the release of classic servers I’m scared that populations may dwindle and money making may become even more difficult than I already find it. Since I’m not exactly playing much these days finding the time to level up and PLAY the game has been slim to none.
Still, the desire is there, so maybe.
Maybe.
Bloodsail Buccaneers
I’ll be joining the masses who are making their way to the Classic WoW servers to check out days gone by. I don’t expect my visit to last that long since I actually enjoy most QoL changes that have happened over time – but – there is something undeniably fascinating about playing along with all sorts of others and starting fresh. Plus it gives me a chance to play on the same server as some friends that I haven’t been able to play with before.
I’ll be starting on the Bloodsail Buccaneers server, it’s a PvE RP server – and I’m glad that Blizzard has decided to allow two RP servers. They’re some of my favourites, and I’m hoping to actually see RP take off. I haven’t been able to participate in any for quite some time and the start of my WoW career was so long ago that I barely remember what I created or what faction I played.
This time around I’ll be alliance (to begin with, maybe both factions over time, we’ll see) and I’m debating between warrior, paladin, and druid. I want the ability to tank, something I’ve done very little of in WoW. I’m trying to make this play-through be as far off from how I typically play as possible. Whether or not I’ll be successful I’m not sure. I’m also hoping to get into the economy and trying to make gold. It’ll be an interesting thing even if I only stick it out for a month or so.
Are you going to be giving the classic servers a try? What server are you hoping to play on? Faction and class already chosen? Let me know in comments and as always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
