Profit!

For the truly lazy who want to make money without stepping out of Org...

You need about 300 Cooking. You must have this already or it is too late.

Check your mailbox for the recipe for Hot Apple Cider. It makes 2 x Hot Apple Cider each time, requiring Sparkling Apple Cider, Holiday Spirits & Holiday Spices as reagents.

Now, if you look at the prices, it means 2 Hot Apple Cider costs 1s 10c (2 x Hot Apple Cider costs 50c for Sparkling Apple Cider, 50c for Holiday Spirits & 10c for Holiday Spices to make. But, EACH Hot Apple Cider vendors for 1s 60c. So, for 1s 10c capital, you make a profit of 2s 10c. Cooking has a 'cast time' of 3 sec. Assuming it takes 1 sec to then vendor this, that means your profit is 2s 10c per 4 seconds, or 31s 50c per minute, which translate to 18g 90s per hour.

Not the fastest way to make money, but it's like WB's AV, you can make money while surfing net...

Ho Ho Ho

The Christmas event has started in Azeroth.

Unfortunately, doesn't look like there is anything new in the quests, so I'll probably skip those.

But, my tailors, leatherworker and cooks with high enough levels all receive patterns/recipes in the mail. The leatherworking boots and food are not that exciting, and the dress looks drab on males... BUT, put them onto the females, esp the blood elves... I'll let you decide for yourself...

Powerleveling Professions

Having done the WC run and gotten the scales as required, I changed Tris' profession from Skinning to Alchemy & will be starting the grind of the profession.

Have wanted to link to this PowerLeveling Guides for all Professions for sometime now and this is a good chance to do it. It's a nice list of powerleveling guides for all the professions. I don't necessarily agree that it's the easiest/cheapest for all of them, but it's a good start to work out the best path.

BOP Recipes

Something to grind when I'm bored... These are the BOP recipes that drop from non-instance mobs. Will only see them if you are of the right tradeskill. Will check for Alchemy and Enchanting when they get to the right level.

Engineering
Khorium Scope - Sunfury Bowman (Netherstorm)
Hyper-Vision Goggles - Mo'arg Weaponsmith (Shadowmoon Valley)
Felsteel Boomstick - Doomforge Engineer (Blade's Edge Mountain)

Blacksmithing
Greater Ward of Shielding - Sunfury Bloodwarder (Netherstorm)
Ragesteel Breastplate - Ashtongue Warrior, Crazed Murkblood Miner (Shadowmoon Valley)
Ragesteel Gloves - Boulderfist Warrior (Nagrand)
Ragesteel Helm - Anger Guard (Blade's Edge Mountain)
Khorium Boots - Disembodied Protector (Netherstorm)
Khorium Pants - Deathforge Guardian (Shadowmoon Valley)
Khorium Belt - Murkblood Raider (Nagrand)

Engineering Mats

From 350 -> 375, it's going to be a lot of luck involved... However, to craft the three items that I intend to make from 350 skill (the Goggles, the teleporter and the rocket launcher), these are the mats to gather:
9 Khorium Bars
120 Adamantite Bars
40 Fel Iron Bars
24 Eternium Bars
3 Primal Fire

This translates to:
3 Khorium Power Cores
4 Hardened Adamantite Tube
6 Felsteel Stabilizer
4 Fel Iron Bolts

I'll need to see with how much skill-ups these items will give. In all likelihood, I'll make everything except the goggles and spam Adamantite Rifles (2 Thorium Tubes, 2 Adamantite Frames, and 4 Fel Iron Bolts) till 370, then make the goggles. Then farm for the Khorium Scope recipe and make four of them to get to 375.

No matter how u look at it, that's a lot of metal...
