Another Milestone hit! Double gold cap; 2 Million on one side of one server. I knew it was coming eventually, but very happy to be here.
Around 6 months ago, I was sitting on about 1.5 million gold. And then, a Mimiron's Head showed up on my server's BMAH. While I contemplated gold capping it, I took the risk and didn't. I ended up getting it for 525k, which honestly, seemed reasonable. Back when Ulduar was current content, my guild was doing Alone in the Darkness (and we got server first on it). We got probably 10 Mimiron's Head, and about the same amount of Invincible's Reins. Unfortunately, not only did I not get either one, but several people in the guild got BOTH mounts. Which honestly, was incredibly selfish of them. But so it goes. The next Mimiron's Head that showed up on our BMAH went for gold cap. And I don't think another one has shown up since.
Anyhow, after I won Mimiron's head, I spent another 200,000 or so buying a bunch of vendor mounts to get over 200 mounts for the upcoming achievement. I slowly starting building back up. But then a Rocket Chicken showed up. Boom, 150k gone. A Hippogryph Hatchling showed up, goodbye 60k. Oh look, a Dragon Kite, sayonara 50k. So the spending spree knocked me down quite a bit, and I started working my way back up.
5.4 has been amazing for selling. I can hardly gems and enchants stocked. I blew through my stockpile of Golden Lotus and Ghost Iron like it was nothing. Lotus is up to 60-70g now, primarily due to the gem market being so active. Ghost Iron is slightly above normal, but the supply is pretty low.
I had leveled an extra engineer prior to 5.4, bringing me to 3. Now granted, I wasn't counting on a huge profit from the mount and pets. But I knew I wanted a mount and the 2 pets for myself. I figured having another to sell a couple pets or mount would be a good idea. I made a mount and learned it the first available day. Then I made a couple pets. Reason being, mounts aren't selling, and people are undercutting each other faster than a hooker's panties drop on payday. But the (admittedly overpriced) pets aren't selling either. At least there's little to no competition there.
Best of luck in your gold making adventures!
