Patch 6.1 Sumptuous Fur
Patch 6.1 has been awesome for my Sumptuous Fur sales.
I typically buy them for 1-2g on the Auction House with the aim of reselling them for 3-4g. Some days only a few will sell.
Today, they are selling very well.

Overcutting / Undercutting on the Auction House
This is my classic overcutting style, which is the opposite of undercutting on the auction house which you may have learned.
A twitch user was trying to troll me yesterday saying he/she knew which server I played and that they were undercutting me on some items. “Most Zen AH player ever” was the reply when I told him it was perfectly fine for him to undercut me. You see, I have two rules about undercutting and pricing on the WoW Auction House.
1) there is plenty of gold to go around. The rule of abundance. Blizzard wants you to be rich.
2) I choose the price that I want to sell my item for, I don’t let the other sellers choose the price. In the example shown below, a normal gold maker would have undercut at 1g 91s and posted in stacks of 200.
66 Stacks of Sumptuous Fur
I chose purposefully to overcut and to post my item for the sales price I have chosen since the very start 3-4g. At this price, sometimes the auctions don’t sell. So I have to post them another day. Sometimes they don’t sell for a few days. But eventually they do sell. And they sell for the price that I have chosen, rather than the price chosen by the other sellers. That’s because I know that players will buy for my chosen price.
Sumptuous Fur Stack Sizes
I also sell in stacks of 100 instead of stacks of 200. Even though 200 is the normal default stack size, stacks of 100 stand out against the crowd because they appear to stand out. No one is stupid enough to think “oo that’s a stack of 200 for half price”. I’m not there to scam people or confuse them. It’s pretty obvious my items are half the price of the stacks of 200 because it’s half the amount. But the unusualness of the stack size is enough to acquire the attention of a potential buyer. So I often sell my stacks of 100 even though there are stacks of 1, 12, 200, 10, etc, at a lower price than mine.
I knew that the demand for raw materials (ore, herbs, leather, cloth – sumptuous fur would all increase with the release of patch 6.1, and therefore I stocked up on all the raw mats. I intended to sell everything quickly, however the demand for potions was very high so the herbs got made into potions and sold for double their usual value. I did, however have a lot of fur (66×100) ready for sale. And very soon, sales started to come in.
And this translated into gold coming into my mailbox in an hour
15,000g would be a nice profit to make in one day from Sumptuous Fur
I’m also doing well with transmog sales today, for the simple fact that other AH players have been focusing on their raw mats sales and left the transmog market to the hardcore gold gamers.
Which items have been selling well for you today after the release of 6.1?

Dailies were nerfed in Warlords of Draenor but there are still a series of steps to take every day in order to maximise your gold income. From managing your garrisons, farming those mines/gardens, to running a quick heroic, and re-crafting sold-out potions to replace your stock on the Auction House. The faster you can get these done, in the most time efficient manner, without forgetting the steps, then the more gold you can make in World of Warcraft.
As a girl with a bad memory, I wrote myself a Gold Cheat Sheet to remind me which things to do every day, even if I choose to skip a job that day.
You can either print out the list, or just keep it open in another tab while you play Warcraft and mentally tick off each thing in the to-do list. You can get a copy free if you sign up to get notifications about new blog posts from me. It’s been updated for Warlords of Draenor.

Update from Amber
[box type=”info”] I personally added just a little bit to your cheat sheet that I use on a daily basis. Some of what I included was what specific materials are needed for each profession daily so I know where they go and I don’t have to think about it. On mine, I included which toons the mats get sent to. I’m sure you know which goes where, but for my own sake I’ll put a list down =)
- Tailoring->Gorgond Flytrap, Sumptuous fur
- Alchemy-Frostweed
- Blacksmiting-True Iron Ore
- Enchanting-Draenic Dust
- Engineering- Blackrock Ore
- Inscription- Excess Herbs to mill
- JC-Blackrock Ore
- LW-Raw beast hide
Hope it helps! Have a good one! ^-^[/box]

Spectral Tiger Duping
As a known gold maker on my realm, I became aware of Something Strange happening with Swift Spectral Tiger mounts in the middle of January 2015. Where once Spectral Tigers were rare, the numbers appearing on the AH began to double, treble, and continue to increase, together with an interesting rise in level 1 characters selling them directly or in trade chat. Guild mates and other gold makers and gold farmers asked my opinion, so I started to research for duping.
Swift Spectral Tiger or Magic Rooster
Spectral Tiger and TCG mount dumping
Is the swift spectral tiger being duped?
Yes, I think so, said battle.net forums.
Yes, I want to buy some, said ownedcore.
Yes, cmon, clearly a dupe, said the clever goblins at Stormspire.
What do Blizzard think? Some hearsay here.
Numbers of Swift Spectral Tigers in EU has trebled since mid January 2015: Graph from The Undermine Journal

Advice on Spectral Tigers:
BUYERS Dont risk it if you think its a dupe, but if you think its legit, go for it.
SELLERS Dump in the short term, hold on to them long term.
Remember the Crimson Death Charger dupe? This was 3 years ago. The price was peanuts for months, but has slowly crept back up
Magic Rooster dupes
The Alternative Theory
One redditor said, MagicMert, said “I did have 1 theory though and that is gold sellers selling off their stock of items so they can get the gold onto servers and sold ASAP since when the ability to buy game time from players becomes a thing their business will pretty much be dead, This would also explain the fact that gold seller website spam in trade has shot up to ridiculous levels in the past few weeks.”
This was my own theory until I saw the actual numbers of WoW TCG Mounts began rising in the middle of January. Here’s the graph of the Magic Roosters in EU. Again, numbers began to treble around 15 Jan 2015

TCG Duped Mounts To Look Out For
- Ghastly Charger’s Skull (maybe)
- Wooly Rhino
- Spectral Tiger
- Swift Spectral Tiger
- Magic Rooster
Over to you: Are you going to be buying or selling Spectral Tigers?
