Grind, Mill, Rinse and Repeat.

Yep, as the title suggests, my last week in WOW has been pretty much uneventful. I know it's not a brilliant way to start a blog entry, but compared to last week there has been no massive epiphany or increase in income, but things are still moving steadily.
For the first half of the week I'd put the majority of my focus on the crafting and selling of Mysterious Fortune Cards. Managed to shift about another 1000 or so until one of the regular part-time MFC sellers posted about 20, undercutting me by about 50 silver per card. This has happened a few times, but they don't bother to bark in trade or monitor their sales, so I just wait until they have sold (or at least until there are only a handful left) and carry on barking.
During this time I actually got round to playing on my main and jumped into a few random heroics which is something I hadn't done since I first dinged 85 about 10 months ago! Luckily so far I've resisted in spending all my recently acquired wealth on gear upgrades, however I know how rubbish my willpower can be sometimes, but by the time I do give in I'll hopefully be financially stable enough for it not to matter too much!

Managed to grab a few bargains on the Auction House this week - spent 4000 Gold on 4 stacks on Volatile Life that were 1 gold below my snatch price, and an absolute shed-load of Whiptail 2 gold below my snatch price. I've still got a load of Volatile Life left, but all the Whiptail has been milled and crafted into Darkmoon cards - I've got more than enough fortune cards to sell on my auctioneer alt already!

Still been doing my Jewelcrafting Dailies but I've not made that many gems just yet; I've been posting a few bits every now and then, but mainly trying to keep an eye on the markets via TUJ. I prospected the 20-ish stacks of Pyrite I had in a guild bank, so got plently of uncut gems for dailies and crafting when I get more designs.

I've not made any enchanting scrolls for about 2 weeks, and the ones that I have sold are ones that have been knocking about in my mailbox for about a month or so. I can never seem to get on top the enchanting market - on my server (at least the last time I looked) about 80% of any enchants worth selling are going less than crafting costs, and the ones that aren't are flooded. As I've been running heroics and doing the Molten Front dailies I've picked up enough cloth to make a few more PVP peices; I've not been making that many recently as once or twice a week someone will start selling stuff at about half the price of mine so I wait until their auction ends before re-listing.


Plans for the next 7 days:
Well, for the majority, carry on as I am, really. I'm going to stop slacking and get my foot back into other markets, have another go at selling glyphs, hopefully unload a few Darkmoon cards, start cutting some PVP gems and investigate the best way of unloading the large backlog of low level enchanting mats I've got taking up 1.5 guild bank tabs!
