DAY 3 - bedtime

Ok i managed to succeed in todays goals, i ended up having to spend a good chunk of my money buying T2 roots but i got what i aimed for which was 20th lvl ... im a tailor now!!!! yay.

I took a look at the belladona prices .. gulp.... this is gonna hurt. so i spent some time harvesting getting the required skills for harvesting T3.. as right now i can't afford to buy the roots .. to much cash spent on T2 roots unfortunatly.

Just before i called it for the night i pottered about TSteppes harvested alittle.. died alot :p but got an idea of the difficulty.. tbh it doens't look any harder than T2.

Atm im still harvesting more than buying off the broker but i top up on the ingredients im short if i have enough of all the rest. Ill admit i did far more armouring than tailoring in T2 but thats because i got aot of iron while harvesting and i wanted to use as much of what i had as possible to save money.

Looking at my vendor i seem to have made about 14g today but i can't be bothered transfering it till the morning after i get my overnight sales.

This is proving to be quite easy so far. The biggest challenges are getting the advanced books and the roots as tailors use in insane amounts and they sell for even more insane prices, other than that its not been too bad. I've been pleasently suprised by how much im selling even the comman armour seems popular if you price it reasonably.

wonderful to see that you are doing OK at the moment - I am glad that you are!

It has sort of borne out my theory that it was still possible to be a sucessful crafter even after the LU24......

I don't really think things were nerfed quite as bad as many of the "doom-and gloom" people on the boards would have us believe - things are just different and you have to adapt and survive........

I have several crafting alts - most started pre LU24, some started after - and all seem to be doing equally well (OK I also have a high lvl main who harvests for my crafters but still....) I have found that common-crafed items do sell well - you just have to price accordingly - pretty much what you have found!

You have inspired me to also try this experiment...... not sure if I go with provisioner or carpenter (the 2 crafts that I enjoy doing the most on my other crafters - I figure if I am going to do this I may as well enjoy what I am crafting!)... but I am going for a different server to the one I am on (Permafrost at the moment) so taht there is no chance of me being even tempted to help the alt out..... will prob be one of the euro servers as I currently have my full compl;ements of alts and don't want to have to delete one...... most likely splitpaw like you as I "defected" from there a while back when I emigrated from the UK to Canada......]

See you on splitpaw

I'd like to comment on the problems you are having with the root harvests. It seems, not just your class uses them in most of their recipes. I know in all the provisioner drink recipes that roots, sometimes more then one, are required. I'm betting this also holds true in most other professions as well. Everyone needs the roots therefore you don't see many of the nodes for them :|
