Enchanting

I decided to catch up on Maexyn's enchanting. She had a huge pile of greens Maezyn had sent her to disenchant and she ended up with five stacks of Soul Dust which was going for 7g a stack on the AH: kerching. I sold two but kept the rest as at higher levels it is good for a simple levelling enchant.

There were a couple of items that required level 100 enchanting to disenchant so I made the effort to get to level 100 by continually re-enchanting a bracer I had by I ran out of materials at level 99. That last one tick is proving elusive. Maezyn was making any kind of greens, even ones that didn't level her leatherworking (grey greens, if you see what I mean) but I kept getting soul dust sad

34

Maezyn carried on questing in Arathi and Hinterlands. She did ok and hit 34. I managed the Murloc's in Hinterlands better than before,clearing camps and getting treasure chests. I think this was through experience: clear as many non casters (oracles) as possible by pulling, then burn down the casters.

I finished off by killing turtles for meat and leather. I had plenty of turtle meat but I thought I needed it for the Artisan Cookery so I left it in the bank but the quest that needs it is in Hinterlands. I was killing the turtles in hinterlands just for the last five minutes worth of experience to level and they dropped the 10 pieces of meat in no time. Every other time I have done that quest I had been running up and down the river for ages trying to get the meat to drop, this time it was dropping two pieces at a time. Has someone been tweeking or was it my lucky day?

I've had good luck using AuctioneerAdvanced+Enchantrix to search the AH for items of the appropriate level that DE for mats that would sell for more than the item's current sale price. Also works nicely when you need one more Essence to do an enchant.

Thanks for this and it's given me an idea. I can get Pook to knock up some green weapons to disenchant for the essences which Maexyn could be using. The prices on the AH are currently outrageous, there's nothing much in the 20's that's under 1g, I've seen greens up to 12g.

I have got enchantrix installed and it did help Maex through the first few levels. I don't have Auctioneer itself any more since I couldn't be bothered with the 20 minute scans (if I tried to do it as a background task I'd forget to do the afk nudges, I'm not good at that kind of multitasking).

I could probably make a lot more money if I wasn't preoccupied with levelling. Maevyn is still making 15g a day transmuting and while it won't pay for her epic flying mount any time soon, it will support Maezyn and Maexyn, although I do expect them to pay their way a some stage.
