The move of Massive Gold Blueprint to a new members’ area is complete.
All members should now have access information, including login address and password, for the new site.
The move was necessary due to the sheer quantity and volume of content provided in your membership. The new site has an improved design and structure that will allow you to access everything more easily:
One video per page
Clearer navigation menus
Fast, easy search function
Commenting and video ratings system for feedback
One-click downloads
This old version of the site is no longer being updated. If you are a member of Massive Gold Blueprint or Cataclysm Gold Blueprint, you should be logging in here for access to your membership content:
You should have an e-mail dated December 3 2010 with your new password. These passwords were auto-generated by the system, and they are quite ugly! You can change the password to something more memorable, after you login. Just click the “Membership Details” link on any page at the new site.
If you are having problems getting into the new site, please submit a support ticket (not an e-mail message):
Second up in the series of “over-my-shoulder” demonstrations demonstrating how I’m stocking up on “busted” buys for the Cataclysm profit cycle.
On a different server, the specific bargains are different, but just as easy to find. The pattern is similar: little pockets of opportunity, you just need to “run the list” to find the goodies.
This has been discussed extensively in the Blueprint Forum, and the Cataclysm Gold Blueprint “Hot List” for rare drop items has been updated with this info for several days. But I know that there are still many MGB’ers who haven’t gotten the word…
The drop rate of the Savory Deviate Delight recipe (drops in The Barrens) has been increased dramatically. This has destroyed the value of the item more or less “overnight.” Don’t get caught out paying a high price for this item! It’s worth maybe 20g – 30g now (as opposed to 1500g – 2000g on Alliance auction houses before Patch 4.0.3a).
I’ll mention once more that if you haven’t registered in the Blueprint Forum, and if you aren’t using it as a key resource of your membership, you are missing out on a lot of great info (very timely info too).
Visit the Blueprint Forum, click on the “Register” link at the upper right, and I’ll try to approve your access within 24 hours.
In this new series of “over-my-shoulder” demonstrations, I’m showing you how I’m stocking up on “busted” buys… now that the bust phase leading up to Cataclysm launch has truly settled in.
I’ll show you how I run down the lists of possibilities in each key market niche, and how I decide whether to buy (and how much to buy) on an item-by-item basis.
What I’m finding is that although there are plenty of bargains turning up in the auction house now, the bust isn’t as widespread or persistent (yet!) as it has been during previous expansions. Not really a problem… just poach selectively, and keep working at stocking up at sure-profit prices.
Let’s start with the Alliance auction house on my “regular” server…
The second of our three weekly Cataclysm Gold updates plus Q&A sessions took place as scheduled on Saturday. Once again, a lot of members attended the event, and kept things lively with a lot of questions.
If you didn’t manage to attend live, there is a lot of information for you in the replays, which i have begun posting. Due to the 2-hour plus length of the webinar, the replay content is broken up into four parts. Parts one and two are up now, and I should have the rest done before the end of the day tomorrow (Monday Nov. 29th).
As usual, you can view online, or download in multiple formats for offline viewing.
With all the excitement and change surrounding The Shattering and the Cataclysm expansion, you could easily forget that the biggest gold-making special event of the year is also just around the corner.
The Feast of Winter Veil begins on December 15th (a Wednesday), and it runs through to December 31st. And with Winter Veil, the frenzy around Small Eggs is with us again – for a day or two at least.
Not to mention..
Winter Garb (Red and Green Winter Clothes etc.)
Red and Green Helper Boxes
Snowman Kit
Jingling Bell
Winter Veil specialty patterns and recipes (Plans: Edge of Winter etc.)
Preserved Holly
Snowballs
Greatfather’s Winter Ale
and a lot more…
There will be action on crafting materials to go along with some of these items too.
All in all, there’s a lot going on with Winter Veil, and you’ll want to start preparing yourself right away, if you want to make the most of it.
The first of our three weekly Cataclysm Gold updates and question-and-answer sessions took place as scheduled on Saturday. The event was well-attended (thanks everyone who was online with me!), and covered a lot of ground.
We ran long, the webinar was about 2.5 hours long. So I am editing and posting the replay videos in multiple parts. I should have the full set of replays finished by Monday (Nov. 22).
As usual, you can view online, or download in multiple formats for offline viewing.
Cataclysm Gold: Short and Long Term Strategies… What Should I Doing Right Now?
The 1st live event of November for MGB-Plus members focused on – what else – making gold with the Cataclysm expansion. This time, I spent most of the webinar discussing how to approach specific items that have the best potential for profits… either through the short-term “Crafting Crush” strategy, or the long-term “Bust-and-Boom” strategy.
Note: for the list of items I refer to and show on-screen in these videos, please refer to the updated version(s) available now in the Cataclysm Gold Blueprint section:
Even if you aren’t gearing up to follow the “Gold Rush” plan and speed-level your gathering professions, you will probably want to know about this neat trick. It’s a Blizzard-approved method to make sure you get quick access to the game when the expansion goes live on December 7th.
In this video, I show you step-by-step how to download the full Cataclysm expansion pack data, so your game installation will flip right over at 12:01 am on December 7th. Take care of this right now, and you’ll beat the rush (not to mention aggravation and drama) of last-minute downloading from overloaded Blizzard servers. Credit to Toltec for spotting this method and bringing it to the Blueprint Forum!
