Between last night and tonight, I brought it to 447. Not 450 cause I don't need it at 450 yet. I power leveled it and bought a lot of stuff from the AH. It wasn't expensive at all, exactly like I predicted and I didn't even buy at the lowest possible prices.<br /><br />But more on that in a future article.Darth Solohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110818057322485070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-18472905301432832742009-09-14T10:36:46.328-05:002009-09-14T10:36:46.328-05:00I have Engineering on my Tauren Hunter its a great...I have Engineering on my Tauren Hunter its a great help: from making his own mammoth cutters, to the tinkets, goggles, and all the other convenience items like an AH in Dalaran.Dalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224893508843308504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-50373657898573822942009-09-14T10:35:11.461-05:002009-09-14T10:35:11.461-05:00> How the end result will compare for

You end stockpiling Borean Leather like miners do with Saronite... and it's a pain sell all of them. At least miners have some variety when mining, some "surprise" effects, gems, rich nodes, titanium and more. Skinners what have... Arctic Fur with 0.0001% drop rate?

And it's expensive. And I've had the same "oh man all that adamantite ore I sold way back when" reaction.<br /><br />But while I'm leveling it as quick as I can, I don't need to be 450 NOW. So when the AH runs out of mats that are at or below their market value, I just stop for the day. I'm sure that when all is said and done I'll come out ahead of where I'd be if I had just stockpiled.<br /><br />How the end result will compare for profitablility with me just having kept skinning, I don't know...Jarnownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-25709093231245457782009-09-14T06:01:04.461-05:002009-09-14T06:01:04.461-05:00Selling stuff is VITAL to make some gold and progr...Selling stuff is VITAL to make some gold and progress in your leveling. Should you keep every possible useful item... you would end up ready to level a profession but completely broke :). Plus, keep in mind that old-items that you sold months ago for good gold... can now be acquired via AH for ridiculous low prices. You did well selling them, actually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-67957985847221234562009-09-14T01:51:58.886-05:002009-09-14T01:51:58.886-05:00I know exactly what you're talking about. Ever...I know exactly what you're talking about. Everytime I start a new alt, or decide to level a profession, and start looking at the required mats, I always go "oh my god I had all these a while ago, I even kept some of it for years and then finally sold them!".<br />It happens ALL the time. Bottom line: you should never get rid of anything, never sell anything that's white or green quality. Sooner or later you'll need it. And for some of the old school mats, the auction house prices are just ridiculous, at least on my server. ^^Celebrandilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186466677488312764noreply@blogger.com
