This is outright spending a truckload of gold with the end reward being able to make a 476 weapon, buckles, and some PvP gear. The ingots are BoP (per current data), so it's not as if they will have a steady stream of income when they get there. <br /><br />Of course, for smaller servers where there are less rerolls/alts leveling mining or actively seeking lesser mats, this may be their only option when they go to level. In that situation, I pity them. Dumping 5 figures to level a profession with minimal rewards is not something most people are ready for.<br /><br />Zerohourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585688741521855038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568871715043627819.post-86804946555470945442013-03-01T10:40:53.734-08:002013-03-01T10:40:53.734-08:00What an excellent post and I agree with your ratio...What an excellent post and I agree with your rational, not only because you proved a good point with the actual #s doing the analysis, but simply because SO MANY people are hyped about GIO, the market will simply crash and burn. Anyways, I look forward to 5.2 when I can buy it so cheap and use for prospecting into JC. :) Be well.KromHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204973536907915131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568871715043627819.post-89281208018208011632013-03-01T09:04:00.973-08:002013-03-01T09:04:00.973-08:00Assuming there is a surge of blacksmiths being lev...Assuming there is a surge of blacksmiths being leveled, you should factor into your cost calculation of the non GIB method the fact that there might not be enough stock of the old world mats for everyone. Some people will be able to level at that old price, but some may not.

Realistically, I'll have most of the recipes in 3 weeks.<br /><br />Someone with 1 tailor/LW/BS will be at 21 recipes in 21 days, meaning they're at the halfway point for Tailoring, and 1/3 the way through for LW. I'll have the possibility of 63 different ones in that time with 3 crafters, across 6 different crafters having had a total of 126 cooldowns straight from release (and collecting my LW CD patterns). We all know I'll get duplicates in that time, but that problem won't be a problem until I've discovered the majority of them.<br /><br />I've already got the spreadsheet ready to track when they're learned. And nice discourse, thanks.Zerohourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585688741521855038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568871715043627819.post-31630618578737196632013-02-28T13:18:22.877-08:002013-02-28T13:18:22.877-08:00Personally I stayed out of Contender's gear be...Personally I stayed out of Contender's gear because logistics of maintaining an inventory large enough to avoid daily re-crafting just didn't fit with my other ops. Of course, remembering that now, I don't think that'll change in 5.2<br /><br />I don't think enchancement will crater in 5.2. In the 4.1->4.2 transition - the last one before Blizzard gifted us LFR, the ZA/ZG dungeons were still not to the point of easy, and still weren't much of a catch-up. In the 5.1->5.2 tranistion, we've no equivalent, but we do have a LFR that gifts a wider variety of better upgrades, albeit at a more gated pace (though anyone running ZA/ZG more than their 7x a week was pretty dedicated - that's ~30 boss kills, and should even out to roughly the same number of unique loot rolls on LFR bosses, especially considering charms).<br /><br />And the 4.1->4.2 transition was strong for enhancements. Lots of folks made good money on it, in spite of the calamatous events of the great shuffle-nerf of the cataclysm.<br /><br />GIB may see a crash - particularly on servers where folks have pre-crafted them, rather than keeping them as a malleable ore. Might see some Living Steel price drops as a result, but there is a definite gate in place to hold back a flood.<br /><br />I think that once the word gets out as to just how many GIB are needed to level, this will become a non-issue. Original estimates have fallen far short of the 9900 ore you have shown here.<br /><br />The economics will vary by server, though. I originally thought that most would be willing to pay a ~30% premium to skip multiple trips to the AH to buy all the small stuff and deal with any shortages in the economy, but when the song is about 10k, the tune changes.<br /><br />Quick note - your 3 Tailors probably won't learn everything in 1/3rd the time as someone with just 1. That's your best-case scenario. Main reason is that your random discoveries will probably overlap at some point.<br /><br />Kind of an interesting question to think about though - would probably be most easily answered with simulations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
