I have not really bothered with the glyph market in recent
months as there is a lot of competition as you’d expect. I decided to only post
the really popular glyphs about 125, twice daily. I have a scribe on both Horde
& Alliance.
I have noticed recently that Whiptail has come down in price
considerably on Caelestrasz. Both factions are selling it for about 20-22g per
stack, down from 35g. I bought up about 1000 stacks over that last few weeks
and started milling last weekend. Why buy 1000 stacks? Well MoP is around the
corner and I can swap the Blackfallow inks for common inks in preparation.
I started to accumulate a lot of Inferno Ink in the process. The
only use for Inferno Ink in bulk is for Darkmoon cards, which is not worth the
effort this late in the expansion. I tried selling the Inferno Ink , but other
scribes have come to the same conclusion it seems. I sold some but the demand
for it is not great. I’ll try discounting it in light of the below results.
Etched Horn came to mind as an alternative but is it
economically viable to produce?
I can buy the Scavanged
Dragon Horn for 11g ea with exalted rep and I have plenty on Inferno Inks
to play with. I decided to produce 100x Etched horn and see what I could get by
Disenchanting (DE) them.
After 100 DE’s I got 115 Small Heavenly Shards, and I
attribute the 15x extra to the Bountiful
Bags proc. The 115 Small Heavenly Shards turn into 38 Heavenly Shards.
Now let’s work out how much each Inferno Ink is costing me.
Heavenly Shards go for 70g ea usually.
So 38x 70g = 2660g
The 100x Scavanged Dragon Horn cost 1100g
Profit 1560g
Therefore the 400 Inferno Inks sale price was 3.9g ea
So if I can’t get more than 3.9g ea on the AH then I’ll make
Etched Horns but otherwise it’s probably better to try and sell by discounting.
