Patch Day Jitters
Happy 4.0.1 day everyone! Today we get to see how prepared we actually were, and how unprepared our competitors are. My main competitor told me last night (after buying out my stock of charred glyphs) that he didn’t feel he was ready and he was worried about how long crafting was going to take him after the patch
As whitewolf said, I don’t think its possible for anyone to have over prepared for this day, if anything we under prepared. The only thing we have to worry about at this point is posting our glyphs so high that your average Joe will go to his buddy to make them for free.
Some tips for today when you log in:
1) Learn and craft the new glyphs! The first one to have these on the AH will have the most sales. 90% of the scribes probably aren’t aware they exist. I made a list of them, and you can find it here: http://20kleveling.com/JMTCforum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=7961
2) Move your fallback higher than you think you need to. Believe it or not, people will spend 300g on a glyph when there is nothing else available.
3) Post the new inscription dust that the glyph supply vendor sells for a grossly overpriced margin.
4) Triple check (you should have already double checked) that you have the correct fixes for your add-ons – if not, have fun posting everything manually!
Just to remind everyone, I am keeping track of my guild bank gold amount over in the side toolbar to the right. I started at 80k last night when I logged off. I’ve had a few people also ask me how much gold I invested in this patch… well, I spent about 85k to make my 31606 glyphs.
Feel free to post your first day profits in the comments below!

The Night Before Glyphmas
'Twas the night before Glyph-mas and at all auction houses
Competition was stirring, (those idiot louses.)
The posters were lined up in cities with care,
In the hopes that the new patch soon would be there.
The players were nestled all snug in their beds,
Not suspecting that glyphs would soon cost them hundreds.
And I, with my money (in excess of goldcap)
Had just settled in for a long Maintenence nap.
When out in Dalaran arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the Inn to see what was the matter.
Away to the portals, I flew like a flash
(Sensing wind in my nightrobe, I retied the sash.)
After rezoning and remounting my horse
I rode to the city's center of commerce.
At what, with my wondering eyes, should I stare,
But my army of bank alts, heavy laden with wares.
How could I have known, when I first lifted a quill,
It would eventually lead to this night of thrill.
More laden than pack mules, (those should be in-game)
I whistled and shouted each glyph product's name
Now Nourish!, Now Rebirth!, Now Mind Flay!, Now Smite!
From Tricks of the Trade to Beacon of Light
To the top of the Listings, beneath others' glyph walls,
Post away! Post away! Post away all!
They spoke not a word but went straight to their work,
Undercutting those other competitive jerks.
And as the first batch flew off the shelf
I pondered the dance of a cute little Belf.
And then with the next batch, my Fallback, it rose.
Those clients will now have to pay through the nose.
Secure in my placement I turned my attention
To transmuting gems, (I sense early pension!)
Though they languished for months for 2 pieces of gold,
I sense a great shift in the rate that they're sold.
As you'll hear me exclaim once the server's online
Happy Glyph-Mas to all, Pay now 199g!"

Do You Use QA, Auctioneer or Another Auction Addon?
If so, they will be broke come 4.0.1. As of right now, none of these addons have been modified in such a way to allow auction posting at all.
Blizzard modified the StartAuction() command so that it requires a hardware event. The QA author has said he has no plans of fixing the add on.
Good luck to everyone out there

The WoW Manhattan Project
Secret WoW Project
I logged off of StarCraft II, and logged onto WoW for the first time in… 8 weeks? I can’t remember… I’ve been to bored with WoW and to engrossed into StarCraft to care.
Anyways, I started reading up on patch notes and what not for Cata and 4.0.1. I’m not going to spoil this for anyone, but there are some MAJOR changes coming to inscription. I expect anyone who prepares enough for these changes should have no problems joining the ranks of the WoW millionaires on jmtc forums.
This blog is going to be brief intentionally, but I will say this… just stocking up on herbs and inks won’t be of much help come 4.0.
Let the Manhattan project begin!
ps I will keep the guild bank total up to date DAILY starting with 4.0.1 patch day. I plan on doing a full breakdown of my work the Tuesday following patch day.

I Need Your Help to Get My Wife to Play WoW!!
I am so bored with WoW right now. We are 10/12 in heroic ICC and the only fun that’s left is working on the 2 bosses we don’t have down yet. My rogue is geared up in mostly hard mode ICC stuff already…. Which leaves me to farm gold and work on the little dumb achievements.
As a side effect, I now have a decent amount of free time. I’ve purchased a treadmill to try and get in better shape.
Part of me is wanting to hit the gold cap before cata comes out… but it’s so boring any more. I can rake in 10-15k gold no problem a week… but I don’t need it for anything because all my toons have everything they need, and I have enough to last me through at least the first tier of raiding in cata, so why bother?
I am trying to get my wife to play WoW. I think it’d be fun to level another toon with her and get her into raiding. We have several couples that play in my guild and they seem to enjoy it a lot. Anyone have a good way to convince my wife to play?
