PPP: Flask of Chromatic Wonder

Time for another PPP installment, that is a "Particularly Profitable Pattern"!

New patch (2.3), hurray! New content! I haven't done a post about pattern reselling in awhile, so here we go. The Flask of Chromatic Wonder! Probably one of the coolest sounding recipes ever. Quite useful, too. It is sold by Apprentice Darius, the Karazan vendor in Deadwind Pass. It also requires Honored with the Violet Eye to buy it. But, it doesn't bind, and a lot of people have no idea where it comes from yet! So, reselling it should work fine, especially to Alchemists who aren't running Karazan, and have no way of getting it.

Same routine as ever, folks. Buy some (seems like they are unlimited supply?), resell them to other players. This should work well, until everyone finally figures out where they come from. But even when they do, only people who run Kara will be able to buy it! So, expect these to sell decently for some time yet, but the best time would be right now.

PPP: Adamantite Breastplate

Time for another PPP, that is, Particularly Profitable Pattern installment, a guide to buying and reselling vendor items for easy gold!

There's nothing quite as annoying as falling for your own tricks. I've been leveling up Blacksmithing recently, and when I was perusing the Auction House, I ran across Plans: Adamantite Breastplate. This is a very decent chest piece to have when leveling up, especially if it's your first time beyond 60. And if you're a completist, like me, and want ALL the Blacksmithing recipes... well, I bought it out at 13 gold. Only later did I find out it comes from a VENDOR in Telaar! I bought it for over twice as much as it was worth, and counted it a decent deal, until I found all of this out.

So, if you're in the area (check the link above to find out which vendors sell it), look for these plans! If I fell for it, anyone would.

PPP: Major Healing Potion

Time for another PPP, that is, Particularly Profitable Pattern installment, a guide to buying and reselling vendor items for easy gold!

If a potion's usefulness has a direct impact upon the desire to have the recipe, this is near the top of the list. Enter: Major Healing Potion! Who doesn't need to be able to make healing potions for free, just by wandering around and finding the herbs, sometimes without even particularly looking? Healing potions are a hot commodity, because they're dead useful, and more importantly, useful to a broad range of Alchemists (read: all of them).

Evie Whirlbrew of Winterspring. She sells this recipe for 1.5 gold. Don't think you can get it without a fight -- other players want this too, either to use or resell. Best to check right after the servers come back up, or keep a character near this vendor and check every few hours.

PPP: Major Mana Potion

Time for another PPP, that is, Particularly Profitable Pattern installment, a guide to buying and reselling vendor items for easy gold!

Everyone loves an Alchemist, because their potions can be used by anyone. One of the most valuable potions for other players is the Major Mana Potion. They sell very well in the Auction House. Unfortunately, the recipe is BoP, so you can't sell it anymore. Still, Major Mana Potions are easy for you to make, and who doesn't love an Alchemist who can make useful potions!

It sells for only 3 gold from Magnus Frostwake in the Western Plaguelands, so if you're in the area, buy one. You have to have completed the Butcher Scholomance quest to be able to see this shop, which explains why so few people know it's here.

PPP: Flask of Distilled Wisdom

Time for another PPP, that is, Particularly Profitable Pattern installment, a guide to buying and reselling vendor items for easy gold!

Here's a tip for anyone who is EXALTED with Cenarion Expidition. Fedryen Swiftspear, in Zangamarsh, sells Recipe: Flask of Distilled Wisdom (+65 int, 2 hours), and it isn't BoP, YET. So, go buy a few (4g each), and put them on the AH at a hugely inflated price. Be sure to only put ONE up at a time, to keep the price low!

PPP: Double Feature

Time for another PPP, that is, Particularly Profitable Pattern installment, a guide to buying and reselling vendor items for easy gold!

Formula: Enchant Shield - Major Stamina is a new enchanting recipe with the Burning Crusade. It can be bought for the relatively low price of 4 gold from the lovely Madame Ruby, of Shattrath City. Prices on this enchant vary per server, but you're almost guaranteed to get at least double what you paid!

Formula: Enchant Weapon - Lifestealing has been, traditionally, one of the most expensive and difficult to find patterns in the game. And with it's cool purple glow and awesome benefit to twinks, one of the most sought-after. Thankfully, you can farm for this in total peace from other players, as it drops off of Spectral Researchers in Scholomance. Don't try this until you get to high level 60s or level 70! Unfortunately, with all the awesome new enchants around, this doesn't fetch nearly the price is once did.

PPP: Deepdive Helmet

Time for another PPP, that is, Particularly Profitable Pattern installment, a guide to buying and reselling vendor items for easy gold!

If you read my post about Taking Advantage of Laziness, you know how easy it can be to earn money by selling things in the Auction House after buying them from vendors. Well, some are more profitable than others!

Schematic: Deepdive Helmet
A helmet that lets you breath underwater for however long you want. How cool is that! This would sell simply for "coolness" factor alone, but being able to breath underwater is incredible useful, especially for farming Motes of Water!

The pattern sells in Azshara. Go to Durotar, and swim up the northeast coast. Eventually, you'll see the observatory, a tiny mushroom-looking house on a ledge. Inside is Blimo Gadgetspring, who sells the schematic, and some other good patterns as well. This schematic has a quick respawn time (about 30 minutes I think) so keep a character there for a day or so to collect them, then go to the Auction House to sell them!

Take Advantage of Laziness

If you think about it, the driving force behind any economy is LAZINESS. People don't want to take the time (or can't, in most cases) to do themselves what they can pay others to do. We don't cut down trees and make our beds, we buy them. We don't forge our cooking knives, we buy them.

The same holds true to World of Warcraft. An non-mining character won't drop their professions and respec to mining in order to get ore. They'll let someone else do it, and buy it from them. This is, of course, what makes the Auction House so darn useful. It's "conservation of labor" if you will: The same amount of work gets done (the mining of the minerals), it's just shifted to someone else. (Kind of like the law of conservation of energy, I know!)

But it doesn't stop there. It's possible to capitalize on that laziness without even putting in any significant effort. In this case, it's taking advantage of a combination of laziness and ignorance. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta.

There are tons of vendors throughout the world who sell limited quantity items. You can tell by the little number in the corner of the box displaying the picture - that means there are only "x" of them left available. Usually, there are only 1 or 2, and when they're gone, they're gone until the vendor restocks them. So what do we have?

• Items that aren't in high supply.
• Items that many people don't even know come from vendors.
• Items you can buy for a very small amount, and sell for very good profit on the Auction House.

Since most players won't be willing to go around and search for these limited-quantity items, they'll instead buy them when they pop up on the Auction House!

Small Pets
At one time, the pets that came from vendors were in vogue. When WoW was shiny and new, everyone had them, and there was money to be made by buying them from vendors and reselling them in the Auction House. Now, most WoW players are too hardened to care about these useless pets. Not much profit to be made here anymore. However, if you should happen to find a Whelpling (Dark, Emerald, or Crimson), you can sell them for up to 100 gold. Be warned, they have a low drop rate. In my opinion, they too inconsistent to be worth farming.

Profession Recipes, Patterns, and Schematics
That leaves us with crafting patterns, cooking recipes, and various green items. Almost all characters have a crafting recipe of some sort and cooking. That means that any recipes or patterns will be appealing to a very broad audience. The best part is, unless someone knows these come from a vendor, odds are they've never seen a lot of them, which will increase the odds that they'll buy, because they'll assume it's hard to get! If you click the links, they will send you to the corresponding thottbot page, where you can see the name and zone for the vendor selling the item.

Cooking Recipes
Cooking recipes sell very well on the Auction House. Because everyone can learn cooking, it's very useful, and just plain fun, recipes tend to be in high demand, especially ones essential to continue to raise your skill.

Alchemy
Potions can make or break an instance raid. There are potions to give mages more power, warriors more health and defense, rogues more agility, and of course, health and mana potions, which are essential to everyone.
