Let’s help out any noobs that come here looking for wisdom. We’ve all made stupid, stupid mistakes at some point.
I’ll lead the way, with my tail between my legs:
I had just learned how to transmute Heart of Fireย into Elemental Fireย and was buying up mats in the AH. I had recently sold a stack of 5 Arcanite Barsย and had a ton of money. I saw several listings that were cheap and selected the top listing because the whole area was riddled with 80s-90s listings. Unfortunately, the top listing was a bid of 79s and a buyout of 90g, not silver. I accepted my buyout, assuming it was 90s. Ouch.
Ouch. I have (thankfully) not fallen for the ‘lowbid-highbuyout’ con. I think the stupidest thing I have done is I spent an hour hunting ONE elite hammer head shark off the coast of Menthil Harbor. He didnea drop anything. He wasn’t part of a quest. I just saw him and lost him so i stuck round waiting for him to return. I then kilt him and bragged about it in /gchat. Everyone got a good laugh since I had been giving play-by-plays the whole time. I also announce everytime I kill a low level boss in a dungeon so eveyone can know that the world is a litle safer….until the next reset.
P.S. Is there a Xmute for Heart of fire – Essence of fire? I dont think I’ve ever heard of that one.
Nope. Not that I found at http://www.rpgoutfitter.com/WoW-GM/searchItems.cfm?expression=transmute
Recipe: Transmute Elemental Fire
OOPS I read that wrong then. Still I did not know there was a Xmute for Heart of fire- elemental fire.
Woah, then you are really missing out if you are an alchemist. Get your rep up with the Thorium Brotherhood immediately! It has a 10 minute cooldown. You should be able to make anywhere from 3-10g per hour, depending on prices of mats, selling price, and how much HoF you farm.
I used to Xmute during raids and other stuff with a kitchen timer set to 10 minutes.
Glad I could help. ๐
Ouch is right!!! Oy!
