| Obsidium Ore in AH- Nothing there?! |
As per my normal ritual, I had about an hour to play this morning. And due to seeing this new niche market pop, I hopped on my herbie and went to Hyjal. Want to know what I got?
An hour in Hyjal gave me 244 Obsidium Ore, 218 Cinderbloom, 86 Volatile Earth, a few uncommon gems, and 124 Volatile Life: Total farm at current prices? Hold onto your hats..... 3480GPH. Even with the recent Whiptail "goof" from Blizz, I didn't even hit 3K. And now without bots taking MY nodes? Wow. I was surprised when I opened my bags to that one. But I didn't mention the best part, which brings my hour farm to almost 5K? The rare mob Blazewing, found along my farming route in Mt. Hyjal. Blazewings Furious Kilt.
At this time, I am on skype hollering at a few buds, Xander of Xander's Gold Mine, and Adam of Exploit my Server, and we start chatting a bit about it. So I start checking around after Adam mentioned word of a banwave happening....
The forums for Pyrox pop up on my google search. After checking the website forums, I noticed a few things...Not just a small ban, but a huge banwave had just occurred (20K accounts and counting- I didn't think there were that many out there....I figured a few, but 20K? Damn....). Now it seems that the folks using this got hit a bit ago with their Archeology program, but now it looks as if there are abosolutely no-one running on my server one bit. Now is this good or bad? It's nice to hop on my farming toon a bit ago and actually see nodes....Everywhere.....
Now to how this will affect us all. With mats drying up, look forward to higher prices on both ore and herbs, with the "snowball" affect happening as well. Anything prospectable or millable you will see prices rise as well. Now it's only a matter of time before they [the bots] are running again, so be weary on investing too much, from what I have seen before there is only a week or two before the "rubberband affect" happens, and the prices snap back to somewhat normal. I know I am holding my mats for a day before posting, and watch the price rise....the only issue now is to play the economy right, and make the most dough we can, right? Keep an eye out, as it might take a few days to show huge differences, but when it happens, hop on the bandwagon while you can....
Do you folks see a insane peak in prices of gathering mats? Or the total amount available drop considerably?
