Doctors of philsophy, two doctors' musing on playing world of warcraft

Life being an enchanter is good after the patch. For that matter life being a inscriber or a gem cutter isn’t too bad either. Enchants that never move at/below the cost of making them are flying out of the doors. Case and point, one of the most popular enchants I make(according to wowpopoular): Scroll of Enchant Gloves – Exceptional Spellpower; which cost me between 30-40 gp to make has been selling for well over 70 gp since patch 3.2. I made 5 of them last night and three of them were already sold by the time I got up this moring. Two of the five sold at 100 GP! Other popular enchants such as Enchant Bracers – Greater Stats; Enchant Boots – Icewalker; Enchant Chest – Super Stats are also going faster and higher than what they normally would have went.

The reason for this change is: Trial of champion. Now everyone and their grandma is walking in purples the raw demands for enchants/gems for these gears are just unreal. So who gets the short end of the stick? Crafters. Since epics are dropping like purple rains the need for crated purples are next to none. I have not crafted anything worth selling on my tailor for eons and raw material prices are going through the roof to supply gem cutters and inscribers. Predicatively price for Abyss Crystal had also fallen off a cliff; a crystal used to go between 200-300 GP on my server are now going between 30-40. I suppose this is expected since so many purples are sharded from ToC.

I don’t know if this is what Blizzard intended, but it is neverthenless fasnating how one little change can completely turn the professions’ world around.

I am enjoying while I can. I can never predicate what will happen or how long the boom will last.
