SEGM: Selling things for the right price!

-



This post is inspired by the person who listed Shoulderguards of Honest Labor at 16,000 gold on the Auction House and expects them to sell

Well, we have all been there. Trying to list something at an outrageous price on the Auction House because there isn't any on there. We expect it to sell, I mean, there isn't an competition, right? Surely if there isn't any others then it will have to sell.

This isn't a post about naming and shaming mistakes, because everyone does them. I've put up Robes of Insight on the AH for 10k, hoping they sell. Of course, they didn't. But I was persistent on my listing and listed them at 10k for a while before they sold. Before I knew about The Undermine Journal. (TUJ for short)

See, this website is very handy when you are pricing rare items. Without knowing the value of something, you aren't getting the most out of your item. Using Shoulderguards as an example, here is a step to step guide:

  • Go to your server's version of TUJ, easily found by clicking on the homepage
  • Search the item in the top right
  • Look for the 'US Horde Median' section. Using the Median, you are less likely to be thrown off by outliers than the mean. 
  • List close to that price if you want it to sell, but still want to make maximum profit.
There are exceptions to this depending on the server, like RP servers can have transmog or other items higher while PvP servers COULD value the crafted PvP gear higher. You need to use some initiative here, and work out what price you think you should sell for.

Another option is the TSM WoWuction or AuctionDB addons. These place the information you can find on TUJ into the game's tooltips. Below is a link to the TSM addon webpage, which shows the different plug-ins to TradeSkillMaster.

The best way to utilise this is using the TSM Desktop App to automatically update it, that way you always have up to date prices from Region and Realm.

Prices are important. Don't list for too less or too much, or you can run into problems with selling items too cheaply or not selling them at all. Relisting prices add up quickly if you have no chance of selling an item.


Hope this has been helpful, good luck and enjoy the game!

Tanaan Gearing Guide

So, you have gone to Tanaan Jungle and been overwhelmed by the amount of gear around. Rares, items on the ground and Baleful gear are everywhere and can be a massive ilevel boost for any level 100 outside of raiding. Of course, you can get gear that is 650 ilevel through the Baleful gear (purchasable for 5000 Apexis each or looted from the world). These have a chance to proc to 675 ilevel, as well as being upgradable to 695 with Empowered Apexis Fragment (which cost 20,000 Apexis or can be looted from rares.) Here is a simple list of where to look for some items. Cloth:  Head: Selora's Crown of Thorns (Painmistress Selora- Throne of Kil'jaeden) Shoulder: Shivan Shoulders of Scorn (Mistress Thavra- Temple of Shan'aar) (These have spirit on them too) Chest: Nethekurse's Robe of Contempt (Grand Warlock Nethekurse- Fel Forge) Wrist: Fel Singed Wraps (Felspark- Throne of Kil'jaeden) Hands: Twisted Taboo Handwraps (Szirek the Twisted- The Iron F

1-600 Professions with just WoD Materials!

Hey all! Tauna back with another guide. I know it's been a while since I've updated, but you know, life gets in the way sometimes! So here is a little thing I chucked together. It's pretty simple really, just a little list of what I use to level new professions on characters. While in Legion it isn't necessary to have max skills, I always like to have the highest skill level just in case. For example, patterns and such usually require a certain level. If Blizzard was to make some patterns drop from raids (ie. Dragon Soul style), I would almost be certain you would have to be 800 for them. So, feel free to check it out and if you have any better ideas, let me know! (credit to  /u/Ex_iledd  for the engineering one!)

Another simple as hell shuffle is the Windwool Shuffle. 20 cloth = 1  Crafted Dreadful Gladiator's Cloak of Prowess 1 Cloak = Vendor of 16.35g 20 Cloth = 16.35 gold 1 Cloth = 0.8175 gold If you buy the cloth below 80 silver each, then you can turn a profit by vendoring them. Personally, I am going to keep it at 75s per cloth to increase the profit. UPDATED FOR LEGION
