If you have been living under a rock (or not following  @DEazeroth) you will have no idea what transmogrification is, nor will you have any idea how to profit off it?  Shame on you, you should.  But seriously, in Patch 4.3, there are some greens that sell for far more than even level 85 blues and purples.  Why?  They look unique.

So, how can you profit off of these high green items?  Well, the most obvious way is to look at the Auction house.  In addition to that, I also subscribe to Faid’s (Nerf Faids) opinion that Farming (if done correctly) can be a very efficient use of time and resources.

This post will briefly go over a few instances that have high value green items (you are going to want to reference it with this site as well:  Mogging Item Search And Pricing With Auctionator).  In addition, I am going to try and mention a bit about the instance, and possible other things that you can do in them. Read on past the jump.

Many of us like to farm old raid instances. The only problem is that you need to be in a raid group with another person in order to enter raid instances. for In this 5 minute video I go over how to use Blizzard's free "Starter Edition" accounts to enter the instances all by myself without help from others and without paying for a second account.

In this 20 minute video I go over how to import our newly created Auctionator shopping lists that include pricing tiers by Keelhaul as well as how to use them to find and price mogging items you plan on flipping.

Special thanks to Keelhaul (@DEazeroth) for hammering out the lists and pricing and Twitchie (Twitche Enterprises) for formatting the initial lists for Auctionator. Head past the jump for them importable list.

If passed, the proposed US legislation SOPA and PIPA will provide a real and serious threat of censorship of the internet. While I am not a legal expert I know enough to realize that these bills are just the first in a movement to stifle creativity, free speech and freedom of expression on the internet.

I encourage all who read this to take the time to read through the links below and educate yourself on the types of things that these bills contain and what can be done to fight against not only these bills but any future measures to curb free speech and freedom of expression.

If we fail to do this now we risk killing the openness that lies at the center of what the internet is and why it is the greatest tool for good that the world has ever known.

Don't forget today, January 18, 2012, the day the internet stood up against censorship.

Starter Capital is a series where we look at ways for new players as well as players new to servers to build gold quickly with little or no resources.

If you enjoy playing multiple characters on multiple servers like me than you know how constrictive it can feel to be on a brand new server with no heirlooms and no stockpile of gold to twink out your little low level character with bags and a couple thousand gold.

Today I'm going to go over one of my favorite ways to get your gold-making "pump primed" so to speak: selling Cocoa Beans. Head past the jump for more.

In this video (19 min) I go over a few new ways to search for mogging items by importing and exporting Auctionator Shopping Lists as well as good old-fashioned auction house category searches enhanced by the MogIt addon and your own judgement.
