(disclaimer: /played is not too accurate, I frequently walk away from the computer, answer the phone, get beer, smoke, talk to the wife or kids or otherwise go AFK, even writing this blog... Its just there as a novelty and indicator.)
Its Sunday and the last entry was Fri. I continued playing Ctlaltdeltwo to level 15 Fri and ran another round of cancel/posting. I was able to get ghost wolf, now I just need to level on up to 21 I think to talent it into an instant cast. (Side note: Previous shamman was a caster, this one is enhancement. Terrible to play till you get a pair of weapons and get past level 10 or a bit higher. Then, being a melee shaman was fun.
Day 5 cont:
So leveling the Ctlaltdeltwo, the Shaman, I found the flight past INSIDE The Exodar... HRMMmm.. and it conects to the first quest hub after the lvl 1-5 area... and I ran that toon all the way into town... Not because I need the ore, or because I need the gold from selling it, more out of habbit, I saw some copper while leveling and went to mine it, and found I was unable to, I had no mining pick. Its funny when you are equiping a grey quality weapon as an UG... Its sorta fun to do it all over again the "hard" way (no herilooms)
I hoped toons to mail some bags over and did a cancel/post, craft/post, jumped back, trained enchanting, purchased copper rods to sell, and sent various mats I had collected. I always buy out the chant mats at the vendor when I am there unless I already have pile... can be good small income.
That was the rest of Fri evening...
Day 6:
Sat was mainly Yard work, help the neighbors, and get a sunburn... Only logged briefly to collect 122 Gold, cancel/post, train LW, Craft/post and set up ZA for expanding markets as my crafting window has more to sell now. Leather scraps > light lether, Tin Ore, prospecting, Daily cooking and fishing quests... and off to my main account for a brief time..
EVERYTHING I am selling is for profits... I am only posting 2 at a time of each item. Though some are likely to start getting posted at 3, since they seem to be selling out daily. Look for the post in the near future for some screenshots and deeper explanations of how I am crafting and posting manually.
Whats selling (for profits of course)
Tigerseye band
Solid Bronze Ring
Elegant Silver Ring (only one)
Delicate Copper Wire
Light Leather (though this is all being used for crafting now, it was some starter gold)
Malachite Pendant
Cured Light Hide
Thick Bronze Neck
Woven Copper Ring
Inlaid Malachite Pendant
Simple Pearl Ring (only one)
Heavy Copper Ring
Embossed Leather Boots
Light Leather Bracers
Vendor Pets (Moths and Owls for now)
Cocoa Beans and or Meats from daily cooking quest tokens
Copper Rod (from Enchanting Vendor)
Strong Fishing Pole (from fishing vendors)
(have also sold a bunch of drops and stuff from questing, cloth, BOEs etc...)
WHATS NOT SELLING
Bronze Torq
Ring of Silver Might
Brilliant Necklace
Embossed Leather Vest
Fine Leather Belt
Embossed Leather Gloves
Embossed Leather Cloak
Why I expect things are selling... As for the LW and JC items... every thing that is selling has either stamina or primary stats (str, int, agi) or both. They are great gear for the entry to BGs and dungeons, and I am the only one selling it or frequently undercutting the few others in the market.
Things are NOT selling I expect for one of these reasons. MY threshold is too high, the stats have spirit, or the market is at present flooded with someone who recently crafted 5-10 or more and unloaded them into the AH at or below cost, and below my threshold. I am only trying to sell for PROFIT, and if the profit is not measured at 1 gold or more per sale, I am not terribly interested, its just not worth my time to craft and sell it for such little returns...
Day 7
More fun, More gold in the mail. More cancel/post and craft/post. It takes a little more time running around Darnassus, and not having HUGE bags, but that will come in time. I also am having to visit the trainers as I continue to level the professions. Its not much but it is time running around and adds up for now.
But a routine begins to set in... Now a run around darnassus to look for limited supply stuff. :-)
HMMM.. there is a shield at one merchant... Ringed Buckler, it's white quality, but level 14... and COULD later sell with an enchant on it to the almost level 15 wanna be tanks... :-) note to self...
Gonna try try selling vanishing powder.. I considered picking up the vendor profession bags, and decided against it, even without looking at this servers markets, I suspect its a camped market...
What I got out of that was 3 limited supply enchanting formulas, 2 greenies and an idea for later...also trained up JC and LW and stocked up on thread for LW and got an LW quest for another pattern.. :-)... but overall, likely not going to be worth the time to make a habit of running around Darn for limited supply items. Not by my assesment anyway... :-)
New paterns in LW and JC after training, time to craft, set up ZA and start a market trial... :-)
Cancel/Post, Craft/post and check mail/post (check for the pets in mail)
All that done and Day 7 is pretty much done,

Day 5
Ctlaltdel Level: 5 /played: 8:15 gold: 1.2Silver
Ctlaltdeltwo Level: 12 /played: 1:45 gold: 7.8Silver
(disclaimer: /played is not too accurate, I frequently walk away from the computer, answer the phone, get beer, smoke, talk to the wife or kids or otherwise go AFK, even writing this blog... Its just there as a novelty and indicator but you may easily be able to beat the number by large margins.)
Today was about 30 minutes on Ctlaltdel, and almost none on Cltaltdeltwo other than a brief login, return mail of pets...
The amount of time daily is dwindling.. Oportunity cost invested is starting to pay off.
Login -> colect 62 gold from auctions using postal, collect failed auctions too -> Cancel post auctions -> Mouse over the "mail storage" (pets atm) and see if I have 2 each listed, grab and post... Scamper off and complete the daily fishing quest and the daily cooking. More cocoa beans to sell.. though they do not seem to be selling atm. While getting my lure for the fishing quest, I did see a +5 fishing pole, WOOT, should be an easy flip for a couple gold.
-> Moving on to more business. Scan the AH, and review inventory of each item I can craft, and craft a min qty to post, put in the ZA groups for auto cancel posting. 3 x 6 slot bags and 1 x 8 slot bag, just not cutting it... next investment 4 x 16 slot bags, netherweave... still have about 15 gold, some mats in the bags and mail, get a couple more for a round of crafting. Again, to do this, and decide what to craft I am opening the AH window with Auctionator, and the crafting window for JC in this case. Shift click the finished item in the crafting window to check prices on the item in the AH, shift click the mats in the interface to search/buy mats.
Open LW crafting window now too. I can still get points on scraps to leather and it looks profitable today-> buy out all the cheap scraps-GO to mailbox, pull out and equip new bags, the Openall with postal. Craft all the scraps to leather, for posting later, grab a few bars mailed over from ctlaltdeltwo (remember, I changed the setting in postal to not open mail from other toons, only the AH items, sales, expired auctions, canceled auctions and purchased items.) Take a guess, and JC craft 2-3 each of what I have mats for. Set them up in ZA. LW hit 40 and making light leather is gray now... JC leveled up to 90, time to hit up the trainers..
Things well set, about 30 minutes in game, a final cancel post.. and log... I can not list some of the items I would since I can not even cover the AH deposit fees ATM...
Update: as I wrote this, I remembered I forgot to manually list some auctions, namely the leather, and a water walking pot for the daily fishing... so, I logged to post them, and that actually when I ran out of money to post more. However, a quick peak at the auctions, and some delicate copper wire sold so I already have about 10 gold comming in and will log later to post the rest of it.
Near future plans:
Ctlaltdeltwo Level: 12 /played: 1:45 gold: 7.8Silver

Near future plans:
- Level Ctlaltdel to level 16 so I can train travel form... currently I have instant cast Kitty form for 30% run speed, but travel form will be 40%... I want it. He will continue to level by doing the daily quests, but no immediate future plans to rush him to level 20. 20 because at that point I will be able to train professions to 225, currently limmited to 150.
- Level Ctlaltdeltwo to level 15... Ghost wolf 40% movement increase... I will appreciate that running him around The Exodar
- roll and level a worgen, a dwarf and a gnome.. to park at pet/vendor locations and to see the new starting zones, gnome and worgen in particular...

Day 4
Okay, I cheat, I logged this a.m. before I hit the door OMW to work...
Events were: login, check mail, collect 56 gold from:
Swiftness Potion - 2G (bag of shinys, daily fishing quest)
Owl pets (3) -21G
Delicate Wings (3) -28G (crate of meat, daily cooking
Moth Pet (1) - 4G
Cancel/post and mail 20G to cltaltdeltwo for more moths to mail em back to this guy for posting
that was this A.M.
Login Day 4... 75 gold... check mail and Auctions, cancel/post...
Buy 12 each owls.. mail to ctlaltdel2 in batches of 12 ea...
Scan AH. check prices on leather, ore and bars... no profits on either to be made... prospecting, making bars or making leather, however there are a lot of small stack of light leather at 12S and under, and the next price is 20S... buy it and flip it.. :-) also, bidding on the leather that has low bids and no buyout... Putting the little gold I have to work...
LSW show potential profits in crafting of JC items and some DEing of items... time to make the miner a DEer...
start with some copper bars.. cheaper than the ore atm... time to do some JC work and leveling...
I have not sold any copper wire, but either way i can make rings to sell or DE, so cafting a pile till its goes green or even grey.... I will be able to use it or sell it in time..
A quick look using my JC interface open and the AH open, shift click each of the craftables and only one is even listed in the AH, JC is now 46 and its time to go to the trainer for more... Hit up the Cooking daily and the Fishing daily, vendor trash and some more cocoa beans... set up ZA for the beans... (beans because I got only one cooking award and the meat crate takes 2), ZA is just so it become automatic to cancel post the beans... group set to 25S threshold, and 1G fallback, no override... Coper wire set up in its own group, 1G-5G no override... 10 stacks 1 ea...
Time to make some JC items... and test sales... 2 each on everything... setting up 2 ZA groups for now 1-3 gold, no override, and 2-5 gold no override for the JC items... also got to 60 JC and hit the trainer time to get some bronze and figure out whats lowest cost, ore, bars, tin, copper and bronze... Its about the same and I expect to get a couple points in leveling it atm so I will craft it... Log over to ctlaltdeltwo and craft some bronze, and buy some pets... :-)
OOOPS, meant to just click return on the owls I sent, but clicked open all and they started flowing into my bags... time to click the arrow on postal mail interface and "uncheck" "open all mail with attachments" under "non AH related mail" still mail the owls back to ctlaltdel... and go make some metal... :-) If it were not for the pets in The Exodar, I would definately not home base this toon here, and I cant smelt bronze anyway... to low level... buy some copper to level mining... 80 should do it, it just means the 20G I sent to buy moths will be fewer moths this time... "shwishhh-shwishhhh-shwisshhh" smelting is FUN!!! this is MMO online gaming at its best... :-/
/AFK
cigarettes, beer, kids homework...
/BACK
and now I am begining to hate The Exodar.. no mailboxes.. and the one here are a long way from the pet vendor and the forge... Yeah... 80 copper was not enough at 63 mining, and I need 65 to train bronze... RNG hates me, I hate The Exodar... 20 more copper got me to 63.. run back to AH, 20 more... stop at mailbox, run back to forge... GAHHHH... woot 65... make 80 bronze... now I only have 2G on this toon.. only a couple pets to get... Oh well.. I got the profession skill ups and I expect to make money money in the process.... :-) but patience is key... notice I was only listing 2 each on the items... :-) Prices not too high...
Okay, got my bars of metal, off to the moth vendor... I mouse over each and see how many ctlaltdel has in auctions.. and buy appropriately... :-)
Lesson here: it takes about 150 copper ore more or less, smelting, to level mining to 65 and be able to move on to smelting bronze, BUT you do not have to MINE to level mining... YMMV (Your Milage May Vary)
Mail off pets and bars of copper and bronze...
log over, collect mail... OOOPS, need to set the setting the same way on this toon for the mail to not open no AH mail w/ attachments... the goal was to store the owls in my mail.. Oh well easy fix...
Now, I open auctionator "more" tab and then the "check for undercuts" in the bottom left... for items not in ZA groups... :-)
ATM I have 65S on ctlaltdel and ctlaltdeltwo has 8S... yeah, I can say I am broke... OR... I have tied up all my gold in exploration cost, opportunity costs, or wasted it away... :-)
I did peak at my auctions... and know I sold some stuff.. I will have gold next time I log...
Its early evening and time to feed the kids... so a lot more could happen as more players log on through the evenening... :-) but for me, I am off till the next time...
