Pushing warcraft professions; Always auctioning; THREE bank toons.

This past week has been pretty busy in The Real World, so my play time has been limited. My next three weekends are booked pretty solid as well (two out of town, including the Friday and Monday around the weekend as well), so I guess I'll be gathering up a lot of rest bonus!


20 Undead Priest


Since I last wrote, I've levelled my Priest up 2 times and she's now level 20.


43 Undead Warrior


Some quest grinding has brought my Warrior up to 43.


24 Troll Mage


Same here. Quest grinding, level up.


Professional endeavors


I realized once I got my Priest to 20 that my Mage also needed some professions work, especially in the Secondary professions area. Now that both toons could max out Cooking, Fishing and First Aid to 225, I wanted to take advantage of that for a while, while everyone regained rest bonus.


I used my 61 to farm cooking materials since the Auction House didn't have any regular Clam Meat or Tangy Clam Meat, and also did some fishing in Tarren Mills with my 20 Priest to get some Sagefish to cook. Plowing through mid-20s murlocks in TM with my 61 Hunter was pretty fun, nevermind 2-shotting the teen-level crawlers and Wraithheads in Zoram Strand... but avoiding the spiders and bears near the river (lvl 22-25) while fishing with my 20 Priest wasn't as fun.


20Priest and 24Mage are both up to using silk for First Aid now, but I have been funnelling my silk through the Priest for Small Silk Pack purposes, and never have any "left over" for first aid use. Ah well, my 61 and 43 can supply Mageweave bandages which all my toons are high enough level to use. :)



Auctioning Continuously


While I don't have a lot of playing time right now, I'm still making sure I spend a few hours keeping the Auction House stocked with my regular sellables, so I'm still earning money while I'm not able to play. Sometimes I need to send some of my toons on "recipe buying excursions" to keep the stocks up with my Banking toon, but that's nowhere near a daily thing.


I'm selling cooking recipes and Small Silk Packs predominantly, but on occasion I can get out and do some grinding/mining with my Warrior Blacksmith and I am able to create 5-10 smithed items to sell slowly over the week (+sta items mostly). Oh, and I'm selling Thick Leather Ammo Pouches and Quickdraw Quivers, too. The weekend is more lucrative for sure, but throughout the week I make a steady trickle of coin as well, so I never stop the cycle of listing items and picking up the cash or rejects from the mailbox whenever I log in.


THREE Bank Toons


So yah, I bit the bullet recently and turned my 10Pally into another bank toon, so now I have three. One does most of the generalized buying and selling of items from my play toons. The second holds mostly herbs and some low level first aid materials. The third holds potions and various "mined" components.


My theory with all of this is that I'll make better use of potions that were created as part of the Alchemy Grind, and I'll be able to quickly generate another batch of low level potions without spending more than mailing fees. Every time my miner and herbalism toons run across a node, I harvest the resource available whether or not I need it for levelling up. I figure if the stuff sits there for too long and is not useful, I can always auction it off.


I'm pondering turning my Pally into a Jewelcrafter since these mats are being sent her way anyway... but haven't quite committed to that one.


Well, that's enough writing about it. I don't have much time to play, so I'd like to get back to it :)
