Just a quick post to say that, at least initially, the 85-89 Mists of Pandaria item market I decided to take a gamble on right before Patch 5.3 seems to be paying off.

The reason I got into this market was because the XP required to level from 85-90 was reduced buy 33%. This means more people leveling and thus more people buying weapons and armor from the auction house.

Head past the jump for more information on my new 85-89 MoP Item market.

In this livestream we sell our back stock of Ink, discuss trailblazing and how gold-making is unique to every player, go over low population and "dead" servers and much more.

Every once and a while it is a good idea to take a step back from your gold-making and evaluate which markets are working and which might need to be put out to pasture.

After the jump I go over a few markets I've decided aren't worth my time anymore.

I level characters. A lot of characters. In Mists of Pandaria I do that mostly through questing. Every once in a while Blizzard makes a quest chain so epic that you savor doing it every time.

The Horde quest chain in The Jade Forest where we are introduced to Kiryn, Riko and the rest of the Horde "A-Team" is hilarious and surprisingly touching.

What have I been doing since Patch 5.3 landed today? Posting a new market I'm experimenting with (85-89 Mists of Pandaria gear) and re-posting lots of Crafted Dreadful Gladiator gear of all types (Cloth, Leather, Mail and Plate).

I just get the impression that lots of people will be looking for PVP gear to try out the new PVP changes. I also think many people will have held of on leveling their alts until the 33% XP reduction for levels 85-90. Those people will be looking in the Auction House for leveling gear.

Some initial 85-89 sales. So far so good.

What have you been up to in Patch 5.3 so far?
