    Sounds like they hosed something up in that case. It used to be once you got to EPL or whatever, the humanoids/undead were dropping nothing but Runecloth.

    I just got done in EPL and haven't seen a single Runecloth drop.

    Runecloth is after Mageweave isn't it? Cause I am getting plenty of Mageweave.

    EPL got changed from a high 50s to a low 40s zone, so it's no surprise it's not dropping Runecloth now.

    runcloth was always 55+. which means you really don't see it until 58+. EPL was definitely the place to go before the sundering. Now, if you're farming it, I just recommend BRD, unless you're looking for it while you level, and if that's the case, I feel bad.

    I'd actually recommend Hellfire Ramparts normal for Runecloth. It's fast, not a complete maze like BRD and drops a ton of it.

    I'll check that out but I have never seen this much Mithril. I can't complete quests because there are so many nodes.

    thousand needles/shimmering flats is pretty lousy with mithril these days. There's a lot of nodes and not really much area they can spawn in

    of course they're mostly underwater, so that's an issue

    speaking of farming ore, does smithing get any easier to level once you get over 300?

    a little, but I had to farm like 200 adamantite for 340-350.

    wrath is different but fun. warning: you end up in this weird band where all you have are recipes that take small amounts of cobalt with a pile of saronite, so don't use all your cobalt up

    also you'll need five (ten?) titanium bars for 420-425, but that isn't too hard these days

    Truesilver is a rare spawn node. Thorium is after Mithril.

    Maybe you've had an odd string of luck, but truesilver's always been quite a bit rarer than mithril.

    Start by defining 'everywhere'...cause by my definition, Mithril nodes are like fast food restaraunts which really are everywhere.

    Badlands
    Burning Steppes?

    Ok inscriptionists: when was the last time you sold a deck, and for how much?

    I have 6 decks, I am keeping two of them, and have been attempting to sell 2 for the last, what, three weeks.

    The closest I have come to an offer was 9k gold for a Tsunami.

    I was also offered, 8k gold, 100 Volatile Life and a pair of Valor Boots(plate dps) for a Tsunami but that fell through cause he didn't have the VP for the boots.

    So what gives?

    Also, glyphs: I checked prices for the highest price point glyphs, made 5 of each, and put them up. This was two months ago. They aren't selling and I'm sick of relisting them.

    I'm considering dropping scribing and just selling the VL and herbs.

    Any advice?

    tsunami and volcano both seem to be around 10k on my server, and have been falling for a while. Earthquake has been 5k or less forever cause it's terrible, and I don't see hurricane up that often which makes me think maybe it's terrible too

    Hurricane is best in slot for Ret Paladins and very very decent for Unholy DKs

    People are hedging their bets for the patch coming out very closely after the faire comes around.

    I know I wouldn't buy just the deck right now. Maybe at the end of this week because of a whim, but I'd really feel like decks have reached the end of their 10k day.

    Pick your faction/server, then Enhancements -> Darkmoon. Each page will give you the last two weeks of listings for decks, along with how much they're actually selling for. (Keep in mind the site can only make educated guesses based on auctions ending before they expire, so if someone's canceling their post it may come up a false sale)

    And while the new trinkets will be great for people's mains, I don't think it's quite time to give up on Darkmoon trinkets quite yet. Quite a few people have max level alts, and rep grinding on all of them takes time.

    Trinkets are tough to come by, so I wouldn't be surprised if volcano/tsunami/hurricane hold their value decently well into firelands. Volcano is the best trinket for most casters, so it'll stay somewhat valuable until we're well into T12.

    I'd be a lot more unhappy about that change if it hadn't mostly just given me more of the night elf keystones.

    Or more keystones than I can ever use anyway

    I guess this means there might eventually be a market for them again, so that's something

    Couldn't wait for the Faire to get here so I could make my decks and now I can't wait for it to go so I can sell the trinket cards.

    Made 25k gold on the decks I had and I still have 4 cards ready to sell.
