Sorry for the lack of posts, but I need to start analyzing the upcoming Patch 4.0.
Lots of things are changing in my 2 main markets (JC & Inscription) and I need to be sure what items are changed to stockpile effectively.
I will download the PTR later today and will copy at least my JC/BS character (Paladin) and if that went well my Scribe&Alch char (Priest) will get a copy too.

Gold per ???
Hello everyone,
after yesterday's JC post and me catching up on blogs & podcasts, I got behind since school started 2 weeks ago, I start to think about this.
A lot of bloggers talk about how efficient they can be with maximizing the gold per hour.
I started to think about it, gold per hour is so limited in so many ways.
Gold(profit) per effort would be a better way of measuring how much gold you actually earn.
Example time:
Inscription is an awesome market, even when the prices can be disgustingly low, the items still sell at a decent rate.
On the other hand, Jewelcrafting, is simple cut & repost, fantastic selling rates and requires a lot less effort to maintain, due to the fast(er) selling rates.
The time(effort) invested in inscription is a lot more, but you (can) get more gold for it in return.
Jewelcrafting on the other hand can be done in a few minutes, collecting mails & reposting/cutting is faster and more efficient.
After my most discussed post > Undercutting <, this made me even think more about the effort invested.
Undercutting with 1 copper and having to check the auction house more often to be sure your item sells (due to high competition, ah bots, campers, whatever reason), requires a lot of effort to keep your auctions going.
Your initial gold per hour is your crafting & posting time, but there's the auction/item posting maintaining time.
Would Undercuttin a bit more justify the thought to lower your auction maintenance and thus not increasing your effort to sell your wares and thus keep your gold/effort high?
This was the original thought behind that post, the effort in maintaining your wares by re-undercutting.

Jewelcrafting
Hello dear readers,
today I'm going to list my best JC gems and why I choose to not bother with the other ones.
Most of the Epic (rarity) gems seem to be decent, even though I'm far from having all the JC recipes, my sales are flying through the roof.
Today will be about my 3 best sellers: Cardinal Ruby, King's Amber & Majestic Zircon
Cardinal Rubies almost all sell really well, but I stick to the pure DPS/Healing ones:
King's Amber sells decently too, a tad less well than Cardinal Rubies, but certainly worth your time.
All King's Amber have selling potential, however I currently am only selling 4 of them:

- Bold Cardinal Ruby
- Bright Cardinal Ruby
- Delicate Cardinal Ruby
- Fractured Cardinal Ruby
- Runed Cardinal Ruby

All King's Amber have selling potential, however I currently am only selling 4 of them:
Majestic Zircon has a decent sell rate, though there's a very small selection of designs for this one, at least ¼ of it is a decent seller.
Yet I sell two of these beauties so far, the other 2 haven't been doing well back when there still were blue gems.

The reason for Solid Majestic Zircon might be clear to most of you, most tanks and certain PvP character use this as their default gem.
The Stormy Majestic Zircon has it's uses in PvP, to bypass resistance, a lot of classes have skills that are somehow magic based and thus the few gems that are needed to bypass the resistances could be mandatory in higher arena teams.
So this is the list of gems that sell really well for me, I'm easily able to invest 20k and get the 20k back within a week and even end up with more profit.
Gems are easy to flip, in abundance on (AV/PvP) weekends and quite fast selling.
That's it for today, keep your copper coins rolling.

Priority
Hello everyone, I know it's been a while since I've posted and all, but my new study started again and the life that comes with it (introduction weeks & lots of alcohol).
However I did manage to make some spare time to keep my AH game up, even if it was inferior to be noticed by the majority of the community.
I lost one farmer and two gem sellers, but one Saronite Ore farmer stayed loyal and is supplying me once again.
I made most of my money, if not all of it with my JC/BS character, buckles & gems are flying through the roof lately and it even got me to buy around 500 gems today which probably won't last me more than a week.
My inscription market will get boosted again today, because today I've finished all research and will have 100% of all the available recipes for that profession (yay).
While I've been studying and preparing for school I started to Snipe the neutral AH.
Because I wasn't completely paying attention I missed a few good deals, but I'm happy with the 1-2 copper deals I've obtained through those few weeks.
Those alone netted me about 10-15k profit, so it's time well spend (studying & gaming at the same time).
Also because I'm playing more casually I barely spend anything for raids or my achievement/rep farm trips and I noticed my gold increased by a lot more than usually.
All-in-all playing more casually only gave me more benefits (gold wise).
I have to play the market differently, stock up more, post at raid hours, somewhere in the morning and resupply during the time I have instead of the cheap (morning) hours.
For me the WoW market seems to be more alive than ever, casuals/socials getting upgrades in ICC is my guess and they are a large part of the community.
I'll try to bring more (good) info and post frequently again, I can't promise anything and I might become one of those weekend players/blog posters.
