Hello everyone, this is Jasyla from Cannot be Tamed. I am Zoxy's secret santa this year through the Blog Azeroth Secret Santa project.
I read through Trading with Zoxy for quite a while trying to figure out a good topic to write a post on. Zoxy's blog is mostly about making gold: what to buy, when to sell it, mods that will help you. I thought and thought about what I could possibly add to this topic. I'm not much of a gold-maker. If I were to try to give auction house advice, everyone reading would probably be broke within a few days. Then I thought of something gold-related I am good at: spending gold.
A short while back, Zoxy posted about how he had gone from 3k to 100k gold in 2 months. Hopefully, those who follow his advice are approaching that number as well. Once you get to 100k gold, what are you going to do with it? I've got some fun ideas for you.
Like mounts? There are a lot of new ones to buy in Cataclsym.
First, and most expensive, is the Sandstone Drake. This is a BoE mount that is created by an alchemist. The cost to make it is high. 26,000 gold worth of vendor mats plus a number or normal alchemy materials. If you don't have an alchemist and need them to make one for you, expect to pay quite a bit more. If you've got too much gold burning a hole in your pocket, this is an excellent way to get rid of some of it.
Once you get exalted with Ramakhen you get access to a Riding Camel for a trifling 80 gold.
If you're in a guild, you should get access to a new ground mount once you reach guild level 25. Horde can get the Kor'kron Annihilatorscorpion mount and Alliance get the Golden King lion mount for 1500 gold.
If you're in a raiding guild, you might get access to the flying mount Dark Phoenix which will cost you 3000 gold.
Also, if you missed out on some things in Wrath you can always stock up on mammoths: The Traveller's Tundra Mammoth (complete with vendors and extra seats) will set you back 16,000 gold if you're exalted with Kirin Tor. Sons of Hodir will still sell you Ice Mammoths (800 gold) or Grand Ice Mammoths (8000 gold).
Need a friend?
There are a lot of new companion pets, though a lot of them are created by professions. Be a smart shopper and make them yourself (or find someone else who will do it). The one BoE pet that can't be made is the Hyacinth Macaw (it's not new, but it's still hard to get). This is an extremely rare drop from Stranglethorn, though you should be able to find one on the AH. Depending on your server, these can sell from anywhere between 10,000-20,000 gold.
Need some gear?
There's a lot of new BoE gear to consider, but most can and should be crafted yourself (or by a willing accomplice). However, there are some ilvl 359 BoE world drops that you're not going to be able to get anywhere else. Between off-hands like Heartbound Tome, and rings like Blauvelt's Family Crest and Signet of the High Arcanist Savor, there's something for most classes to help you get geared up for raiding. Depending on server these could run you between 10,000-20,000.
Need even more gold?
Invest in more things you can sell. Buy holiday items you can re-sell later, opposite-faction pets or mats for crafting BoE items. Why be satisfied with 100,000 gold when you could have 200,000?
Happy spending!
