Inflation and gold in Wotlk.

[Sechs]

So how is the inflation looking in wotlk?
How much do the higher lvl quest gives in gold?
How much do it cost to repair the gear and what other things that could influence the value of gold.

If this been well documented in another thread feel free to point me in the right direction did some searching around but couldn't find anything.

....muurrggg i want beta key

So far I haven't noticed a big leap in Gold from Quest Rewards....


I went to the Terrace at BT to test out my new Prot spec & noticed however that average xp per mob was about 1k Compared to 1.7k in Northrend.

Isn't that tthe penalty they apply to doing old content past it's level? I've heard it a couple times but got 0 confirmation.

All I Can say, sechs, is that herbs' prices will inflate like mad.
And probably ore.

[Neara]

The Demon Hunter Supplicants always gave fewer Exp .. Tried them with 69 to lvl to 70 and they gave half the Exp other mobs gave me.

i'm leveling alts with herbalism. with inscription using herbs, they are going to sky rocket...the whole range of them, from peacebloom to whatever the new wotlk herbs are.

I think there will be a lot of inflation on ores/bars as there will be rather a lot of people starting up Blacksmithing.

But the biggest blitz on prices will be on low to mid level herbs. Only a few classes need Blacksmithing items to any great degree. BUT every single player will want inscriptions for every one of their characters.

Thats a gold rush boom industry if ever I saw one.

There'll be a lot of new Inscriptors levelling up, all at the same time and demand for those herbs will be insane. They'll also be competing with Alchemists for some of the same mats so that will also drive the prices up on the higher level herbs too.

Yup. I've leveled 3 herbalists since inscription's base gathering aws announced LOL.

Talking about inscription, there's any news yet if there will be some crafter only stuff like ring's enchants or the new BS sockets?

They get an extra Inscription

[Snake-Aes]

An extra glyph*

ALso there will be some temporary enchants, I think. The warding thingie resembles the blacksmith version and the high level versions might or not be handy.

[Sechs]

I see.

Thingy to remember tho is that quest give less gold when you are lvling. so if quest at say lvl 75 give like 20g while you are lvling it will give about 30-35g when you hit 80. Not sure about the numbers but its substantially more if not changed in wotlk from how it works now which i find unlikely.

About herbs yeah been thinking of that to, as if the inflation gets really high i will have to invest alot of my gold to something that will sell good like thorium ore did at the start of tbc.
Only problem is i have no idea what a good price on low lvl herbs are right now x_X

Thorium ore is still obscenely expensive. Urgh.

My paladin on beta is up about 2k at 76 from questing, without any conscious effort to make gold. I think we can expect that everyone and their alt will have an epic flyer with minimal effort by 80. Cold weather flying is free (from a quest), but passenger mounts are probably crazy expensive, I wonder how they will work.

[halabar]

I think it's going to vary by server.

EVERYONE is saying herbs, so much so that I see a glut in that market. Ore will be good, but...

The new primals will be king. And the new leathers.

At least on my server, engineering is still the fastest money maker. 35-40G for primal air, followed by 5-6G for thick clefthoof. So a skinner/engineer does really well.

Sure demand on herbs will be up, but, if you are fighting with a bunch of others for those nodes, are you really making money faster?...

[Lore]

I did notice that enchanting+jewelcrafting training+patterns right off the zeppelin cost me about 500g. There were a LOT of jewelcrafting patterns though.

[Kelaan]

Thorium ore is still obscenely expensive. Urgh.

... and Icould NEVER sell it back when I tried to mine it. the volume is just so low that if one pther person posts a couple stacks cheaper than you, you're likely to lose the deposit. Or, that's what it seemed like to me. That said ... perhaps stockpiling it while I can wouldn't be so bad.

I have some lowbie herbalists, but they're all level ~20. I'm contemplating dropping enchanting (aww, bye semi-lucrative-if-I-could-go-faster Stratholme runs!) so I can use Crusader aura to travel while farming that much faster. Good idea/bad idea? Even with druid +30% kitty form, it just doesn't seem to be good for low-level herbalism

Cold weather flying is free (from a quest), but passenger mounts are probably crazy expensive, I wonder how they will work.

Hot damn, awesome! Though .. they'll likely add a cost later once it's not beta...
