An Average Beginning

Hello, future theoretical readers.

Another WoW gold blog. I know! The originality is pouring out of every orifice!

A bit of background about myself:

In real life, I'm an EMT. It's like being a PvP healer irl! Basically, it means I keep weird hours and love stress.

I started WoW just late enough to miss out on those sweet PvP titles which make putzing around Warsong Gulch with 16k forgivable because, dammit, I'm a Stone Guard. I did the server hop for most of the first year I played as friends would start the game and lose interest and reroll randomly.

I settled into twinking over on Shu'Halo, and built a decent reputation as Waffle, a flag-carrying level 19 Druid. Made some enemies, a lot more friends, and made my first foray into the gold-making environment by flipping BoE blues, funding multiple twinks from a level 40 Shadow Priest with dual gathering professions.

Now I'm a filthy Whorde. My main is a retadin because I believe that, like all classic fighting games, PvP should be done with a maximum of three buttons. I've never been a committed raider because my work schedule makes that difficult and, frankly, the time investment for progression strikes my little PuG'ing heart as intimidating.

More relevant to this blog, my main has Jewelcrafting / Enchanting. I also have two alts on the server that are part of this experiment, a sub-65 Mage with Tailoring and a Warrior Scribe (much love, lfgcomic.com) with maxed Inscription still wrapping up research. I stumbled upon Greedy Goblin a few months ago and became instantly hooked on the idea of dominating the market. Lacking both his business ethic and sociopathy, I've started a mixed bag of strategies and professions that seem to work.

So! My starting resources, AddOns, and all that jazz:

Four-tab bank
76 stacks of Ink of the Sea
28 stacks of Snowfall Ink
8 stacks of Monarch Topaz
2 stacks of Autumn's Glow
4 stacks of Abyss Crystal
4 stacks of Greater Cosmic Essence

8 stacks of Netherweave Bolt
12 stacks of Saronite Bar
8 stacks of Eternal Earth
3 stacks of Eternal Water
4 stacks of Eternal Shadow
