Day 5 - Update

Ok i gave in .. lack of space was driving me nutts, so i bought 2 rosewood strongboxes costing me 10g each, it was a huge chunk of my money but i think long term it will pay off, giving me more room to sell, with the additional benifit of bieng albe to use my old boxes in my bank.

After forking out for the boxes i hit the broker looking for root, pelts and carbonite, i already had some but i knew i would need alot more to make any kind of leveling possible today, and i wanted to look for them nice and early.

My time as a crafter have taught me to always look for ( hard to get or expensive ) raws as early in the day as possible or very late at night as most harvesters return home after a day of harvesting putting there stuff up for sale just before bed. If you wait to long all the cheap stuff sells and by the time prime time hits the only raws left are very expensive.

Ive manage to grind out 2 levels today hiting 24th level but not without a price, todays crafting has cost me, and from the money I had this morning im down to 6g. I realise this sounds bad but im not the type to harvest i hate it with a passion i never intended to harvest all my raws, ill do it when i have no other option. It cut's into my profit margins with out a doubt however i make comman stuff with the perpose of leveling and i accept a loss on it when i vendor, when i sell this stuff via the broker im still not that consern with it it's sold for a profit as such, more that it sells for less of a loss than vendoring any profit is just a bonus. It my rare sales that bring in the profits that really finance my crafting.

During todays crafting i bought some yarrow and made some T1 rare armour, and although i vendored most of what i made for exp i did retain a few peices to fill out my new and shiny rosewood boxes.

Day 5 - plans

Ok today im going to take a good look at what i have left in stock before i make anything new, i don't want to be stuck with too many of the same items .. mostly im looking at what i dont have " ie what has sold" so i can make more of those.

I got lucky this morning and found some cheap belladonna / boiled pelts on the market so i spent alittle cash to buy those which will save me some harvesting time so i hope to get 2-3 levels today.

With yesterdays sales minus this mornings purchases it brings my cash on hand to 40g 93s with 1d 2 hours played .. My boxes really dont need much made up to fill them so im going to consentrate my time on Exp grinding .. most of while ill sell back to the vendor due to space restrictions. Im at the point now where im seriously debating going mad and buying 2 rosewood boxes.

Day 5 - Morning

I didnt do that much yesterday as i didn't get online an awful lot, it was my mum's 50th Birthday ... "happy birthday mum"but i did manage to get to 21st lvl making up all the rare stuff i had bought.

I am seriously having space issues, ive had to remove most of the raws i was trying to sell on my vendor and destroy them, keeping only those that hold a reasonable value to make space for more valuable items im trying to sell.

Id say my box's hold about 50/50 rare/comman gear right now.... as i progress this will change as i tend to favor rare gear over comman.

I bought quite a few T1 rare pelts etc to make up into armour yesterday waxed pelts on my server cost just a couple of silver each and the armour sells for 2-5g each which even with the cp's you spend on fuel is a decent profit.

As you work though a tier if you find items that sell well don't stop making it just because you leave the teir, Ive always found it's worth making to lower teir items if they are good sellers , as crafters move on they tend to forget the older tiers and i find as the competition is lower than in the higher teirs you can make a much larger profit margin... it all go's back to my theory that the "twink market" has more money than sence. Making lower tier stuff is even easier with the changes so make those changes work for you.
