Hey there, folks! Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, in this very galaxy, I used to do answers to search terms here on my blog. I’d look up the search terms that brought people here and I’d answer them as best I could.<\/p>\n
I don’t have those kinds of analytics these days, but I do still have a blog and a brain, so I thought I’d use the combination to brain dump on 3-5 topics every Sunday. (Who me? Starting on Monday? Yes.)<\/p>\n
So here, for your reading enjoyment, is Kurn’s Sunday Brain Dump 1<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Topic 1: Patron Orders in Midnight<\/strong><\/p>\n I recently hit the 1.5 million gold mark on my bank toon. Most of my characters have somewhere between 1500 and 2000 gold on them, and if it’s over that, I send the money to my bank toon. (Gone are my days of trusting anything remotely related to a “bank” to hold my cash.) When I think about what I’ve done in order to get that much money (half a million profit in three weeks), a lot of it comes down to fulfilling Patron Orders on my various toons. I have like 7 characters I regularly do orders on, plus a couple others I’m pulling into the rotation.<\/p>\n Here’s what I do, pretty much every day, on all of them:<\/p>\n I log in, check the orders and then do them in this priority sequence:<\/p>\n – Are all the materials provided? Do it if I know the recipe, regardless of the payment.<\/p>\n – If not all of the materials are provided and I know the recipe\u00a0and<\/em> I have the materials on-hand, do I get 2 points of knowledge? If so, do it. If not, do I get 1 point of knowledge? Check to see if other orders will reward me 2 points of knowledge instead of 1. If they don’t, then fulfill the order.<\/p>\n – I also prioritize first-time crafts, assuming I have the materials or they are easily obtained.<\/p>\n – Unless the order gives 2 points of knowledge\u00a0and<\/em> a nice reward, I don’t fulfill it if it requires using more than 200 concentration to get to max quality. (a rune, a thing to help craft that goes for a thousand or so gold, etc)<\/p>\n – After all the orders for that character’s professions are done, I send everything that’s not soulbound, in terms of rewards, to my bank toon.<\/p>\n I then rinse and repeat for virtually all my characters.<\/p>\n By the end of 15-20 minutes, I have probably gained 1-4 points of knowledge for each character, I have gained a few trade goods (ore, herbs, leather, scales, rarer trade goods too), and each character probably has earned 30-60 moxie. Most importantly, most of my characters probably have at least 800 concentration.<\/p>\n It is\u00a0okay<\/em> not to fulfill a wildly expensive order, even if it’s a first craft, even if it’s got a nice reward, if it’s going to cost you 5k to get the materials. Don’t sweat it.<\/p>\n * Fun fact: if you get a max-level vial as a saved reagent while crafting something alchemical, you can probably just sell that sucker by itself for a stupid amount of gold.<\/p>\n Topic 2: Tuesday Prep<\/strong><\/p>\n On Monday evenings and Tuesday afternoons, I start crafting for reset day in North America. Tuesday nights are huge for selling of consumables. I will typically do the following, especially since most of my characters will have most of their concentration:<\/p>\n – Flask-specced alchemist (Madrana): Will craft once or twice to get 2-4 flasks (pre-multicraft). Multicraft is, of course, the way to make money on max-level flasks. Nocturnal Lotuses are still outrageously expensive, so I save them up throughout the week from farming and can sell a couple of extras for over 2000 gold each on Tuesdays.<\/p>\n – Potion-specced alchemist: Will craft 3-4 times to get 15-20 max-ranked potions. We’re talking mana potions, potions of recklessness and Light’s Potential, whatever I really have mats for without buying anything. Again, multicraft is excellent here.<\/p>\n – Enchanter: will craft 2-3 times to get some max-level Oil of Dawn or Thalassian Phoenix Oil.<\/p>\n If I’m feeling extra motivated, I’ll cook a bunch of food of Kurn, too, like Royal Roast or Impossibly Royal Roast.<\/p>\n Last Tuesday, I made over 50k in the span of like 2 hours while all this stuff sold.<\/p>\n Topic 3: Cleansing<\/strong><\/p>\n I went Timewalking to\u00a0heal<\/em> Cataclysm dungeons this past week. Here’s a couple<\/a> of videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bar none, the thing I hate most about it, apart from running with randos whom I despise within three seconds of the start of the run, is that Cleanse is on an 8-second cooldown.<\/p>\n DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE HAD TO CLEANSE\/DISPELL\/ETC IN CATACLYSM??? It was a freaking lot more than every EIGHT SECONDS. I know, I can hear you now,\u00a0prioritize, Kurn<\/em>! Yeah, well I was trained for like 7 years to cleanse all the things as soon as I could unless it was……. whatever that damn warlock debuff was. Oh, right, UNSTABLE AFFLICTION. I need to be able to cleanse all the things. I was GOOD at it. And having an 8-second cooldown on CLEANSE drives me absolutely crazy.<\/p>\n And there you have it, folks, my first Sunday (Monday, in this case) Brain Dump.<\/p>\n What do you want to hear about next week?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey there, folks!
