However those same people will go out and sell a design in the AH for anywhere between 400g-1000g. I had a mage once tell me that he charged gold for water, and when people would bitch, he'd tell them that it was the servers fault for selling the Conjure Water book at an ungodly price (90-100g at the time).<BR/><BR/>Do you blame Enchanters for overpriced mats, JC's for selling cut gems at 50-60g a pop. Hell I tried to get the JC's on my server to band together and sell our gems at a flat rate across the board, if only people were smart enough to realize what a monopoly could be created that way.<BR/><BR/>Gotta love/hate free market economies.Anathematichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601162545187218254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-6438721538708367182008-03-07T08:34:00.000-08:002008-03-07T08:34:00.000-08:00I think the enchanting will be fantastic.You gener...I think the enchanting will be fantastic.<BR/><BR/>You generally only see a handful of enchanters on each server making money through the profession. Unless you count selling the mats, which I don't because that won't give me enchanting points. I'm assuming making those scrolls will advance the profession. <BR/><BR/>Also, you won't have to do the wasteful practice of repeat enchanting. This way other people can benefit from your skill, and you'll get some money out of it as well. <BR/><BR/>It's a nice way to reach a wider amount of people without hanging around the trade channel and hoping someone will want the enchant.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943711169684237829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-22259715850112574422008-03-03T17:04:00.000-08:002008-03-03T17:04:00.000-08:00Well they are talking about wotlk so it wi ll be m...Well they are talking about wotlk so it wi ll be mongoose 2.0 that is rare.<BR/><BR/>But as an enchanter I look forward to it. I have little interest in selling enchants face to face. Its no signficant gain over simply hoping on a gathering alt and doing quests/dailys and has the pain of argueing price,waiting time and the risk of scams.<BR/><BR/>It will make leveling enchanting easier. Their are people willing to sell +x to bracers for below cost and their are people prepared to pay for it but in terms of time cost most enchanter simply enchant their own gear 200 times. <BR/><BR/>The big bonus for me is enchanting alts. I know of at least 3 people who have brought a second account and moved their enchanter to get around that hassle.<BR/><BR/>The tournament test realm has buyable enchants right now btw.<BR/><BR/>NgitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-85021667865573776052008-03-03T13:35:00.000-08:002008-03-03T13:35:00.000-08:00"At the very least, I'm looking forward to better ..."At the very least, I'm looking forward to better enchanting my alts/twinks without relying on others of the trade."<BR/><BR/>This.<BR/><BR/>Blizzard has said that, should scolls go live, the super-high level enchants will most likely require player interaction.<BR/><BR/>So your Mongoose, Executioner, etc. will still be limited.

Intead, Inscription should be to Enchanting as Shadoweave / Spellfire / Primal Mooncloth is to Tailoring.<BR/><BR/>Alas, I don't work for Blizzard. :(Dorgolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810325862295462327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-1964078056450028632008-03-03T11:39:00.000-08:002008-03-03T11:39:00.000-08:00Ah, Fiery Weapon and the Small Radiant Shards (my ...Ah, Fiery Weapon and the Small Radiant Shards (my next band name, btw). I sad such a great time with them pre-BC. I quickly discovered that it was more profitable to sell the shards on the AH than to try to sell Fiery enchants to people - for one thing, I couldn't beat the enchant price of those who were levelling and doing it for free. <BR/><BR/>Instead, I sold all mine on the AH. I watched it a couple times a day, buying low and selling high. And THEN I found a Rogue enchanter to farm SM for me, who was willing to sell me the shards for half what I would sell them for. He got up-front money, and I made a tidy profit whenever the shards finally sold. God, those were good times. I got tired of levelling my toon (in the mid-40s at the time) and would never leave Ironforge; you could say I was playing a different game than most WoWers. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-31831112660197813822008-03-03T11:25:00.000-08:002008-03-03T11:25:00.000-08:00Inscriptions are supposed arrive with WotLK.

In my opinion this leads to overpricing of mats and enchants since the price for enchants becomes based on what the price for the mats is on the AH, or at most 5 less gold.<BR/><BR/>it also means that there is an inundation of enchanting mats on the AH, but little capable enchanters to enchant your gear. which, at times, ends up being the same as there being no mats on the AH and having to rely on an enchanter to have your mats.<BR/><BR/>also, i used to have enchanting and it was great while leveling b/c i was able to de my old gear and enchant my new gear. but once i was geared enough and started doing kara i dropped it because the mats where going to the guild bank and there were other more capable enchanters (i also wanted a deep thunder im still working on) and while i do feel that the move towards more availability of enchants, i do feel like enchanting is one of those professions that would require more interaction than JC. I mean just having an enchanting scroll wouldnt let your average meat-head warrior make his arena weapon even more devastatingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-26335961562022369072008-03-03T09:20:00.000-08:002008-03-03T09:20:00.000-08:00Regardless of price changes, etc., it's been a lon...Regardless of price changes, etc., it's been a long time coming for Enchanting.<BR/><BR/>Blizzard always mentioned that Enchanting was a "hardcore" profession (hell, one of the middle trainers was in Uldaman) only for the dedicated.. boosting your stats here and there was alot different in Vanilla WoW. TBC has been out for over a year, it's long outdated.<BR/><BR/>Now? With JC gems, spellthreads, legkits, hell, even basic Knothide patches that give 10STA to multiple slots.. "+X stat to +Y slot" is no longer hardpressed to find, and you don't always have to go to Enchanters.<BR/><BR/>At the very least, I'm looking forward to better enchanting my alts/twinks without relying on others of the trade.meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109845916843631518noreply@blogger.com
