If the players on your new servers know what you're converting your gold into, then the buyers for that item would hold out until you put them up for fast sales, and the sellers for that item would try to get rid of them before your massive influx of supply. This means by the time you actually transfer, you'd be forced to undercut an already deflated price.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691528306629873885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-89049748703871835732009-05-02T17:55:00.000+02:002009-05-02T17:55:00.000+02:00Gevlon, don't know if you've thought about this bu...Gevlon, don't know if you've thought about this but you mentioned you have some resist gear which is "mandatory to bring" But this it seems to me is wasted space.

I read this blog relatively often, but never...Hmmm. I read this blog relatively often, but never have had a reason to post.<br /><br />I do love complex knapsack problems though. <br /><br />Again, a pure solution isn't going to be worthwhile for you (you want low risk as well as good packing properties so you don't want to overinvest in one or two items unless they're an *iron clad* seller)<br /><br />I assume you're going to max your bag space with Glacial bags and "profitable" Trade bags (for the bank slots). <br /><br />There's a few big stacking cash cows you should consider (though the worth of these varies depending on your server's value and availability for them):<br /><br />Noble Cards (each of the 8 should stack to 20)<br />Blue gems/Scarlet Rubies (stacks to 20)<br />Abyss crystals (stack to 20)<br /><br /><br />Even taking the lowest Wowhead value for a Noble card (500 for the four), that's 10k a slot for the Nobles. Considering that the noble cards will reinforce demand for each other - that's not a bad way to store 80k in 8 slots, assuming you can get them. These look to be the most efficient cash transfer at the moment. Some risk in these but not cripplingly so.<br /><br />Scarlet Rubies are high demand, high value - lets take them at a low value 50g a pop. That puts them at 1k a bag slot. Likely, they'll fetch 75 or more gold. If you want, the 24 slot jewelcrafting bag is very cheap, and adds a couple of slots to your total.<br /><br />Abyss Crystals are a good bet. 100g or so a pop and they're going to be a constant income source for a year and a half (unless Blizz buck trends and introduce a new Uber crystal before the next expansion). 2k a stack and if you want to go nuts, the 32 slot Mysterious Bag is as big as bags get. <br /><br />Personally, I'd think long and hard about 64k of those - demand is going to be higher than average for the next while (Ulduar gear) and supply is going to be lower. On the other hand, 64k worth is going to take time to recoup.Crivenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194964384188065221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-60723856484259727352009-05-01T16:13:00.000+02:002009-05-01T16:13:00.000+02:00Thought about Frost Lotus?

Titansteel Bars, Dragon's Eyes, Frozen Orbs, Abyss Crystals. They all stack to 20 so depending on server prices, that could be ~2k per slot. Though if you are transferring to a more mature server, their prices may be lower than your current server. Another thing could be Runed Orbs which will certainly sell for a lot. But given how new they are, the price could be fairly volatile.JPolchowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027313671950339094noreply@blogger.com
