How I make 15k per week with glyphs
I love the glyph market.
This is my setup:
Mill thousands of herbs while watching movies, tv, or podcasts.
Turn into Ink of the Sea while I’m AFK (can take 40mins at a time)
Send all Snowfall Ink to main banker to sell and cover costs of herbs
Keep 15 of each glyph in stock
Send glyphs to three glyph bankers (each banker has a few classes)
Post 2 of each glyph (48hrs, 3g min + 28g fallback using QA3)
Never cancel glyphs
Log onto three glyph bankers a few times per day to repost undercut or sold glyphs
Don’t worry about what other people are doing, if you know every glyph you will still make gold
If you don’t have much time, increase your min to 4 – 5g
???
Profit
For this business to work, you need to know every glyph. This will take a few months to establish.
You also need lots of free time. I have dual monitors, so milling while watching something else is easy.

Do you sell glyphs? You need to read this..
You may have seen from my other post that I’m stocking up on Ink of the Sea. The main reason for this is I didn’t want to have to mill herbs when Cata comes out. The second reason is the supply of Northrend herbs will decrease with less people herbing in the area, driving up the price of herbs.
I think it’s safe to guess the new herbs from Cata will produce a new normal and rare ink. The rare ink will be used to create new cards and epics.
While collecting the proceeds of my Snowfall Ink sales I had a thought.
What’s going to happen to the price of Snowfall Ink once Cata comes out?
Right now the sale of Snowfall covers all the cost of buying the herbs. Will the price of Snowfall drop if people no longer want the lower level greatness cards and offhands?
The good thing about buying, milling and creating a stockpile of Ink of the Sea now is I am able to sell all my Snowfall for a reasonable profit. The only risk would be an opportunity cost if the price of Snowfall went up for some reason.
What do you think? My plan is to have 10,000 – 20,000 Ink of the Sea in the bank.

What items to stockpile for Cataclysm
Wondering what items to stockpile for Cataclysm?
When Cata hits, it’s much better for you to have 1000g worth of common items rather than 1000g of gold.
Why? Because with inflation (which has happened every patch) the value of the goods will more than double, yet your 1000g gold will only be worth ~500g.
Here is a list of items I am buying up now:
[Name - how many I have]
Briarthorn (180)
Goldthorn (117)
Wild Steelbloom (233)
Sungrass (210)
Purple Lotus (180)
Arthas’ Tears (40)
Golden Sansam (240)
Mountain Silversage (160)
Talandra’s Rose (400)
Goldclover (600)

Saronite Bar (180)
Saronite Ore (1400)
Heavy Stone (800)
Truesilver Ore (40)

Mithril Ore (800)
Thorium Ore (4800) – I’ll prospect for leveling gems later
Bolt of Netherweave (3700) – ready to make bags
Adamantite Ore – (1000)
Cobalt Ore (300)
Saronite Ore (1400)
Eternal Earth (2000) – use to make infinite dust
Wool Cloth (700)

Return of the 150g Glyph
I hope everyone is taking advantage of the new patch. Don’t be afraid to price the new glyphs high, I’ve sold a few at 150g so far.
Anyone had any luck selling the new bag?

Making gold while raiding with JC/DE
If you are in a semi-hardcore raiding guild, there is always going to be time when you are waiting around for the next pull.
This can be a great time to create your JC rings to DE.

20,000 Netherweave Bags
On my server we have around 7000 Alliance toons. If most people roll a Worgen, there will be demand for around 20,000 netherweave bags. The mutant wolves will need some cheap bag space!
To prepare for this, I am buying up all the netherweave cloth I can get my hands on.
A quick tip, though it’s more common sense, is to store your cloth as netherweave bolts – not bags – to save on space.
Anyone else doing this?
