Already Have All The Mats For Solidsamm's Upgrades
Patch 3.3 is all over the WoW news of late. The patch notes have been continuously updated, bosses have been tested and Heartbourne has posted more videos than I can keep up with. Lost in the information overload may have been the reveal by MMO-Champion of some awesome craftable gear. Raiders will be getting access to a pair (or more depending on specs) of high ilevel items come Icecrown Citadel. Being crafted, the additions become just another opportunity to make a horde of gold.
Simple economics tell us that the gear will be a hot commodity when the patch first drops. Many players will be clambering to upgrade their main, and likely a collection of alts, to the new gear, raising the demand of the needed consumables, and thus the price. As a friendly reminder, it would behoove those gold-starved players to begin hording these items now - eternals, transmute items (Moonshroud, Titanseel, etc), skinning items - in an attempt to fill you coffers when the bull market arrives. You have to spend gold to make gold after all.
Even if you aren’t in need of turning 1000g into 5000g, the leg and feet items are sure to attract you anyways. Be smart, save some gold by purchasing the needed materials now, while they remain relatively low. I’ve been doing just that, snapping up eternals, Nerubian Chitin, transmute cloth, Arctic Furs, for the rogue and priest crafted gear for over a week now, assuming the price was right. I’m even farming what I can in an attempt to maximize my auction house income later on.
Honest to god, playing the auction house around patch time has made me more goblin droppings than all of my farming tactics combined. Grab Auctioneer, get some baselines for prices, research which items will see their prices skyrocket, and be sure to purchase and cash out at the appropriate times. Don’t wait until Patch 3.3’s release is imminent. By then it will be too late.

Arctic Fur is a bad idea. Its going to bottom out with the heavy leather to arctic fur conversion.

so is titanium with saronite to titanium

@Heartbourne/Garmandorsh
I totally forgot about that little diddy. Better dump the extra Arctic Furs I have right now. On the flip side, Heavy Borean Leathers price should see an increase, although probably not a huge one.
Didn’t know about the Saronite -> Titanium xmute at all!
Either way, there’s still plenty of opportunities to make some serious gold off patch 3.3.

@ITZKooPA
There already is an xmute saronite to titanium… They are just removing the cd of 20 hours

i guess i over looked the leather to arctic fur? crap, guess I will get mine on the AH as well.
I have been farming leather like crazy so I can get my gear made and then either make them and sell or just sell the mats for some $$ (need a symbol for gold).
thanks for the heads up.

If you are a scribe you might be able to make a fat stack of cash by stockpiling all the glyphs that are getting changes in the patch. There is certain to be a large number of people looking to see how the glyph changes affect their math, which means you can either make 1 or 2 sales per a glyph change(change + possible revert). Perhaps grabbing 9 of each might be a good idea…

As someone who immensely enjoys manipulating the WoW marketing economy, I thank you for the heads up!
