Weekly report

Since I post my business reports on Sunday morning (writing them on Saturday evening), I'll call them "weekly report"-s. As you can see, I collected 12K this week. Not bad in a deflating market, but seen better.

The main workhorse is still the glyph industry, with updated methods. 8K income, 2K investment.

2.5K from bags, ammunition and horde pets in the neutral AH.

The rest is coming from Armor Vellums, Mongoose enchant, arbitraging enchanting mats.

Geez, what if I could have a business like this...
By the way, what's your destination with your business?

Hi goblin.

In the past three days, I made 110K.

I make around 40k in an hour.

I run my own casino, my casino's odds are 65+ = 2x, 95+ = 3x, I generally have some very good customers who pay in excess of 5-10k bets.

I was the first on my server.. so everybody trusts me.

Have a good day.

These e-casinos have suddenly shown up on every server I play on; despite the fact that the odds are very poor for players, they apparently still like to indulge. The above poster's rules give an average .25g advantage for every 1g bet. To earn 40,000g/hr he would have to be seeing 160,000g wagered every hour, on average.

Roulette (the worst game in the house in professional casinos) has much much better odds than this.

Notice how Mr. Casino posted anonymously. That's because running in-game casinos is a BANNABLE OFFENSE. If your account gets banned, what good is all your gold then?

Casinos arent consider against the tos anymore, but scamming and spamming for it is.

Will Mongoose drop with 3.1?

Can you elaborate a bit more on "arbitraging enchanting mats"?

Just the cheap ones? Or even infinite dust/GCE?

On my server the market with dust is completely flooded and although I make good money with (producing) it, I doubt that this can be arbitraged. We are talking about 21 pages of dust during this weekend...

@Kring: Arcane dust, Greater Planar Essence have a bumpy market. Sometime up, sometimes down. I buy when cheap, put it back high. Usually sells, sometimes I'm undercut.

I'm still anonymous...not for any reason, all the M&S/Noobs who think it's bannable need to L2Read the blue posts/ToS, they always say REFER TO THE EULA, if you've read it yourself, you'd know that it ISN'T bannable. @Fixee: Good math. Yes, I do recieve that kind of amount of bets... surprisingly, 2% of my customers contribute 95% of my gold.

With 3.1 on the horizon and dual spec coming does the goblin believe the glyph market will come to a halt?

What is the rate on Imbued Frostweave?

> What is the rate on Imbued Frostweave?

13-16g... less than the mats...
And a terrible terrible high list cost/profit cost for a market you get undercut that often.

At the moment I am able to sell 5-10 scrolls on a weekend per day for 150%-200% percent of the price I would get for the dust/GCE.

Best sellers are the Tuskarr boots, 23 haste to cloak, 30 spell power to wrist and Titanweave.

And now that I write this I remember that I forgot the agi to cloak this weekend... normally sells too.
