A livestream viewer pointed me to a rather interesting 5.3 PTR patch note that I think is significant to the 77-80 Cataclysm item arket.

In 5.3 the are planning on adding vendors that will sell level 80 gear in the Cataclysm starting zones. Read on past the jump for the details.

I think we all knew that this spot would be nerfed. It wasn't really a question of "if" it would be nerfed but "when".

Redditor beepbeep75 posted the news on /r/WoWGoldMaking. I've since been there myself and can confirm the nerf.

Beepbeep75 wrote:

"Today I went to Zhu's watch and the mobs in the phased out part of the Zhu's Despair quest gave only 200xp and they are no longer lootable, they just die and lie there."

While I am a bit sad to see this spot get nerfed it's not much of a surprise.

Also, as much as I'd like to take credit for publicizing the area (and therefore getting it nerfed) it is much more likely that it was was all the players and bots that likely farmed the spot non-stop that ultimately got Blizzard's attention.

Easy come. Easy go.

We were excited to have our kitty Jonesy join us for the first part of the livestream. If there is anything we know will get the internet viewers here is is cats. Come watch Jonesy follow a Shaman's Lightning Shield (no joke). We also do some gold-making in there somewhere.

Also, how are you all liking the two 30 minute video format? Better? Or did you like the full 1 hour livestream videos?

I'll bet many players (myself included) are feeling just a bit overwhelmed since the launch of Mists of Pandaria. Whereas in Cataclysm I felt like a master of the universe, in Mists I'm feeling like quite the noob.

Why is this? For one thing I think Blizzard packed much more content into this expansion than any of us were expecting. On top of that, we have all these characters and professions to level. All these new areas to explore. All of these new gold-making techniques to work out.

So how do we deal with the overwhelming-ness of it all? Head past the jump for a few of my own ideas about the topic of how to adjust to Pandaria.

As I've discussed previously (and also recently mentioned by Phat) the new market for selling low level current-expansion items to players stuck in previous expansions while leveling, previously held by level 77-80 Cataclysm items, is likely to now be 83-84 Mists of Pandaria items.

Read on past the jump for my early-expansion plans for these potentially valuable items and also tips on how I'm finding them.

It's hard to believe it's only been two days since the launch of Mists of Pandaria. Seems more like a week with all the playing I've been doing.

Read on past the jump for my initial gold-making impressions of Mists of Pandaria along with some thoughts on lore and what others have found as far as gold-making in MoP.

Episode 044 of The Power Word: Gold Podcast. Your hosts Jim Younkin and Gimp bring you the latest World of Warcraft gold-making tips, tricks and strategies.

In this week's episode your hosts Jim Younkin and Gimp discuss what they've been doing in gold-making recently, look back on Cataclysm, look ahead to Mists of Pandaria and much more. And now on with the show!

Over the last few months I've given a lot of thought to the question of how exactly I wanted to start off my Mists of Pandaria experience. While it may seem a trivial thing to some, I really wanted to start this expansion right.

While I may be best known for my gold-making endeavors believe it or not I actually do more in World of Warcraft than make gold. Read on past the jump for my thoughts on the decision of whether to focus on gold-making or exploring the lore of Mists of Pandaria first.

Each player has their own special ways of making gold in World of Warcraft. No two players are the same. No two servers are the same. This means that each of us walks our unique own gold-making path.

Since Mists of Pandaria is coming out in 5 days we thought it would be good to take some time to reflect back over our own gold-making journey through Cataclysm and pick out the top 5 most enjoyable techniques we used to make gold in World of Warcraft.

Head past the jump for our Top 5 most enjoyable gold-making techniques from World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

Still waiting in a scenario queue? Here is my second run of the new Theramore scenario, this time on my Blood Elf Protection Paladin. This video shows the scenario from the Horde perspective.

The Horde version seemed a bit more likely to experience lard packs swarming the groups. Our shaman dies in this video after pulling too much. After having read "Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War" book this scenario, like the Alliance version, leaves something to be desired and seems to end rather abruptly.

Still waiting in a scenario queue? Here is my first run of the new Theramore scenario on my dwarf hunter. This video shows the scenario from the Alliance perspective.

All in all it was interesting yet felt somewhat lackluster after reading the wonderful "Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War" book.

The Theramore scenario hits live realms today (already live in EU) and the scenario requires item level 353 to queue.

With sweet iLevel 384 heads and weapons being handed out like candy, I'm making sure that I'm crafting and/or flipping cheap iLevel 377 Vicious Embersilk and Vicious Fireweave PVP items. These are often items used by people looking to boost the item level of their characters in order to get into higher dungeons (and now scenarios).

If you have a Tailor you might look into this market and see if there are gaps and/or cheap (30-60g) items that can be flipped for a better price today. If you have a Jewelcrafter, Leatherworker or Blacksmith you might also look into the Vicious Jewelry, Leather, Mail and Plate items as well.

Here are the Auctionator searches I'm using to look for these items:

Vicious Emb
Vicious Fire

I'm selling most items for 650g each with the exception of wrists and belts which I sell for 450g.

Will they all sell? We'll see. If not I can always disenchant them for Heavenly Shards.


(Secret Bonus Tip: Hunter's will be getting new i384 guns today. Be sure to stock the AH with Flintlock Woodchuckers.)
