Hunter Surface Trot Helper Macro
If you're a hunter farming herbs and ore in northern Highmountain (watch Faid's great video on this technique) you may find yourself casting your Water Strider pet's Surface Trot ability a lot. (This ability allows you to walk on water.)
Unfortunately Surface Trot can't be cast while you are on your mount. The macro I wrote below does two things: If you are mounted it dismounts you and it casts Surface Trot.
(While you can't drag hunter pet abilities to your bar you can write them into macros.)
The macro:
/dismount [mounted]
/cast Surface Trot
Now if you're a bit to antsy (like I often am) to get to the next node and you mount before you need to cast Surface Tror this macro will dismount you and cast the spell.
It's a little quality-of-life thing but if you're casting Surface Trot a lot it helps.

Warlords Pricing Trends for Ore, Herbs, Enchanting, Leather, and Cloth Since Launch
Tonight I am going to record the pricing trends for the various crafting materials introduced in Warlords of Draenor.
Since it's been about 2 weeks since launch the very beginning data will soon not be shown in The Undermine Journal charts. This is my chance to record it for posterity.
I'll be showing the charts and giving some light commentary after the break.

New Garrison & Profession Information Via BlizzPro
 |
| Image Source: BlizzPro |
In the post "Build 18566: Garrison and Profession Shifts" BlizzPro's Crow (@unlimitedBLACK) gives us some further observations and insights on how garrisons and professions are coming together (and working together) in the Warlords of Draenor beta.
Read on past the jump for a few excerpts and my thoughts on the changes.

Profession Training Scrolls In Warlords of Draenor Beta
While killing Shadowmoon Voidmancers in (the surprisingly lush) Shadowmoon Valley in the Warlords of Draenor Beta I received three profession learning scrolls within a few drops of each other.
These particular scrolls (A Guide to Skinning in Draenor, A Compendium of the Herbs of Draenor, and A Treatise on Mining in Draenor) taught players how to skin, mine and gather herbs in Draenor.
Funny enough I was able to mine without reading this scroll but I didn't gain any skill over 600.
Reading the scroll I received a profession skill called [Mining] that allowed me to "mine ores in the old lands of Draenor" and gives a "potential mining skill of 700".
It would then seem these scrolls may replace learning a new mining skill from a trainer. I didn't however seem to learn new smelting techniques so that might still be coming. I checked with my Mining trainer and he didn't have anything new for me.
While this might seem like a small thing but I was just happy to find something new in the Beta related to professions.

Warlords of Draenor: No Prof Benefits, Easy-Mode Mining & Herbing
"Professions
Some of our goals with Professions in Warlords of Draenor are to make them more of a personal choice, and less of a mandatory “min/max” selection. To that end, we're removing the direct combat benefits of Professions. Additionally, we've made it easier to level Mining and Herbalism. Healing Potions have gone mostly unused lately, compared to combat stat potions. We chose to solve that problem, along with a problem with Warlock utility, by having Healing Potions and Healthstones share cooldowns.
Herbalists can now harvest herbs throughout the game world without hard skill requirements. The yield an Herbalist will be able to harvest from each node is now determined by skill level.
Miners can now harvest mineral nodes in outdoor areas of the game world without hard skill requirements. The yield a Miner will be able to harvest from each node is now determined by skill level.
Healing Potions no longer share a cooldown with other potions, but instead share a 60-second cooldown with Healthstones. The cooldown will not reset until the player leaves combat."
The gathering changes seem like a continuation of the gathering changes introduced in Mists of Pandaria that allowed you level gathering completely inside of Pandaria.
This should make leveling a gathering professions while leveling your character much easier. I'm sure we've all had the experience of out-leveling the level of mining and herbalism while leveling and having to either go back and waste time catching up or stop leveling gathering until after you've hit max level.
Since I don't raid or PVP the removal of the stat bonuses won't really affect me although I'm sure some players will enjoy not having to take a professions they don't want to simply because it has the best stat bonus.

Breaking: Multiple Copies of MoP Zones Will Impact Ore/Herb Prices
Breaking News: Mists of Pandaria zones might have multiple copies per server if there are a high number of players. This has huge implications on the amount of materials that miners, herbalists and skinners will be bringing into the game and may have huge impact on those of us who were planning on farming to make gold at the beginning of Mists of Pandaria
Read on for a few excerpts from the official blog post by Blizzard as well as my thoughts on it.

Black Iron Ore, Pyrite Ore and the Truth About Epic Gems in Cataclysm
That seems to be where many players thoughts begin and end on the subject. It's understandable. That method seems quite obvious and logical. I don't believe it's that simple.
I don't believe Pyrite Ore is how epic gems will initially come into the game. I believe Blizzard will make epic gems scarce by intially placing them behind 24-hour cooldowns.
In this article I will explain where I believe gems will from and what I am doing to prepare.

Video Tutorial: Making and Selling Glyphs With the TradeSkillMaster Addon
After watching Faid's great video about her current glyph process (Fadian Slip #12) I thought I'd share the process I use for quickly and efficiently researching, making and listing glyphs on the auction house using the addon TradeSkillMaster.

It's Official: Whiptail Hotfixed.
 |
| Oh easy Whiptail. We hardly knew thee. |
Official note:
- Herbalism
- Whiptail was spawning too quickly in Uldum after patch 4.0.6. The spawn time has been reduced.
This is sure to make some of us sad but it should be interesting to see how the market adjusts (again). (Also if they 'reduced' the spawn time doesn't that mean it will spawn faster? lol)

My Whiptail Runneth Over
 |
| Whiptail Mail |
That raises the question, If someone like us stumbles upon an opportunity like tons and tons of Whiptail and Volatile Life what is the best way to utilize it to make gold?
Like many of you I have all professions available to me and so the question becomes what is the best possible use for these herbs and spices...erm...lifes?

The Whiptail Effect?
 |
| Whiptail Tsunami Incoming! |
I totally expect this to get hotfixed soon. If there is one thing I've learned playing WoW it is this: If it's too good to be true work the hell out of it because a hotfix is always incoming (see skinning bats, killing sheep, etc).
My main interest in this (besides the visions of extra cheap Darkmoon Cards dancing in my Scribe's head) is what effect this flood of herbs will have (if any) to the economy.
