enjoyed making lots of profit since Patch 4.0 hit. The add ons I use are Auctionator, Bulk Mail and My Sales. I also purvey The Undermine Journal for my faction and server. Organizing a glyph business takes some time and effort and is worth the investment.
Converting Herbs into Ink
Typically, I'll spend a few thousand gold on Cataclysm herbs to mill into Blackfallow Ink to trade with ink seller, Sarana Damir in Stormwind. (oops sorry Horde players I could not find the name of your ink trader in Orgimarr, but will keep looking). Sarana is in the Inscription shop west of the Stockades, near the new cooking quest npc. For the most part, I buy Cinderbloom and Whiptail or Stormvine herbs to mill into Blackfallow Ink. You get an average of 5-10 Ashen Pigments and possibly 2-5 Burning Embers from milling a stack and between 2-4 Blackfallow inks and maybe 1 Inferno ink, respectively. (*Disclaimer: this is my average experience--numbers may vary according to RNG or randomly generated numbers). Each Blackfallow ink can be traded 1 for 1 ratio for most inks. The exception is Snowfall & Inferno inks which are both traded at a 10 to 1 ratio. (10 Blackfallow ink for 1 Snowfall or 1 Inferno ink).
Keeping up with Supply
I do not use Tradeskill Master add on YET, since it seems overly complicated to learn. What I do do is go to the 'buy' tab on Auctionator and search for glyphs I do not have posted on the auction house. Yes, TSM has a fancy feature where you can get a list of glyphs you need to make...I just have not had time to learn that program! I use the old-fashioned method of pen & paper to keep track of what glyphs I need to make.
Glyph Storage and Categories
How do I store all my glyphs? I use one 32 Slot Endless Pocket for each class in World of Warcraft in my regular bank tabs and have a 4 tab private guild bank to store more classes of glyphs. All the classes are stored together... for example, all the pink Paladin glyphs are stored in a pocket or tab. Hunter glyphs are green. Priests are white. Each class is conveniently color-coded and in a pocket or tab. I categorize even further according to the following:
- Prime Glyphs
- Major Glyphs
- Minor Glyphs
Ink, Pigment and Paper Storage
Each ink is associated with a category of glyphs and even the paper is matched for the level. This is mostly true and I say 'mostly', because there are a few glyphs that require low level paper and higher level ink. Some require higher level paper and lower level ink. I don't try to understand the logic! Anyway, I store ink, pigments & paper in 32 Slot Endless Pockets also.
