I've tried switching it to manual and making sure everything is being tracked, none of the options will change what's being displayed. It's really annoying when I'm out questing and think I'm done and I run back to town to find out I'm not.

I've had a similar (or the same) issue a few times now, though it always seemed to only be in specific zones. It would only track 2-3, but it would say something like 4. If I turned in the ones being tracked, the tracker itself would just turn gray and do nothing. I never found an actual fix, other than I just had to do the quests without it.

I feel like I've missed something in regards to Shado-Pan quests/rep.

I've done pretty much all the Kunlai Sumit/Townlong/Wastes area quests, no more available quests from what I see and I've gotten the story achieves for each zone, but I am still not Honored with Shado-Pan.

Are there any dailies that give this rep? The 2 areas that I didn't do a lot of quests were the 86/87 zones.

You can't do Shado-pan or August Celestials until you're revered with Golden Lotus.

Blizzard the best

I don't even get Blizzard anymore. I feel that they almost fail on purpose now, not entirely but just enough to wonder how the logic really comes about with these situations.

How long are race changes supposed to take? I thought it would be a few hours, but it's been 3 days...

Mine was fast when I did it a couple hours after MoP release. I just had to be off the char for ~30 minutes before it processed.

**SamanosukeShiva** · 2012-10-07 02:06

it all depends on your bank/credit card, if it takes too long, chances are the bank is holding the payment.

What should I do with my ore from mining to maximize profits?

Right now I've been turning 12 trillium into 6 bars and having a friend xmute it every day. I have a slight excess of trillium, I could get a few more xmutes a day I suppose but that isn't my biggest problem.

I have a shit ton of Ghost Iron ore and Kyparite. I'm not sure if I should be smelting the Ghost iron into bars and selling those, or prospecting it on an alt, or what really. Mining is only a temporary profession on this character, and I'm looking to maximize profits until I'm bored, then I'm changing professions.

Here are current prices on KT.

Ghost Iron Ore: 75g/stack
Ghost Iron Bar: 185g/stack (40 ore per stack)
Kyparite: ~4g per ore
White Trillium Ore: ~170/stack
Black Trillium Ore: ~256g/stack
Trillium Bar: 90g each (takes 2 of each ore per bar, so roughly 40-45g to make)
Living Steel: ~1200 per (takes 6 trillium bars)

I do have 525 JC's and Enchanters. Should I shuffling the ore? Prospect, turn gems into blues, DE blues?

Another option is xmuting 10 ghost iron bars into one Trillium bar. But that would be 3 stacks of bars (120 ore) for 6 trillium bars (which is the amount needed for living steel). Obviously it isn't profitable but it would help alleviate the amount of ghost iron on hand.

**Plow** · 2012-10-10 00:18

I don't know exact numbers offhand but generally the best way to profit from mining is:

sell or transmute the expensive ore
prospect all the rest
sell the blue quality gems that are decently priced

once it gets to greens, you've got a choice now: sell them for silly prices while people are still leveling, craft them into shit to disenchant, or cut them into whatever cut is selling highest and hope for some luck with perfects

if you try for perfects you can pretty much vendor the nq's as none of them are selling for jack shit since it's usually cheaper atm to mass craft greens and hope for perfects than to just buy a blue or perfect

**Boyiee** · 2012-10-10 14:01

Well prospecting was definitely the way to go. Turned my first batch of about 800g worth of Ghost Iron into about 900g in profits worth of blues/greens.

Since greens are worth shit right now on my server, and were only worth about 150g total, I turned them into rings/charms to DE. Made out with an almost identical 150g worth of enchanting mats which will for sure sell faster.

I'll just keep xmuting trillium. Guess I'll prospect the kyparite too since nothing else to really do with it at the moment.

What's the deal with RMT this expansion? I don't see any spam and I just bought the next 8 months of time cards and a GW2 cd key from an RMT site for 160k (less than I've made since the expansion). Plus, everything is cheap. Last time all the new enchants and gems were at least 1k ea, now the pricey ones are 100g ea...

>>paid 80k each time card last time I bought some.

**Correction** · 2012-10-10 19:46

They're probably still around, but are too busy crashing prices to the ground (seriously, cloth/metal/herbs are fucking worthless atm) to discourage anyone else from jumping into the market.

**Dryr** · 2012-10-10 20:47

What I made $$ on when prices were good:

Cooking Hub - trade in stacks of stuff bought for ~100g or farmed for tokens and buy 100 yr soy sauce/black pepper/rice flour to sell for 300+ (200+now)

Mining - Used to use an alt to prospect for blues and the bonus gems when they were worth something, now just AH ghost, bar trillium to sell or send to alch alt for living steel to double worth.

Herb - Used to farm and sell, then farmed and d/e, now just buy and d/e for rare inks. easily turn a 60g stack of herb into what used to be a 300g+ fast selling ink + get a few normal inks that made 500g + glyphs for a while in about 20 seconds.

Alch - mostly worthless other than living steel xmute 1x a day.

Gem - worthless after week 1 without raid recipes.

Ench - <50g profit on most things if they aren't losses without rep recipes, daily worth a couple hundred.

I did make over 200k, but most profit makers are dead or dying fast. But, I gotta say, all the gathering points are still on turbo-respawn mode. Low prices but you can farm them 5x faster than ever.

Also, pets used to sell well and some fish went for 2k/stack...

This shit ain't even breakeven on my server.

How's LFR been so far now that it's released?

Are there still retards that has completely read normal mode tactics (and therefore, in the best position to lead, assumingly) and thinking they know everything to apply the same tactics to LFR mode?

**Mugekuge** · 2012-10-11 10:24

Is easier than ever, i did it yesterday as soon LFR was available, people pulled 2/3 bosses without tanks prepared, won regardless.

I don't get people that QQ about drop rates on LFR, should be just glad that have a chance to see raid content (even if is ubernerfed), i am happy i can kill raid bosses since sadly i don't have time to play in a raiding guild anymore.

**Dryr** · 2012-10-11 11:16

I went in blind to the first one with cheated gear from alt spec. Assuming many people were at the min or cheated like me, it must be insanely easy as we never came close to a wipe and, even though I didn't know any of the fights as a melee dps, I never died either.

If Humans have a 3% Spirit bonus, and a 1% Expertise bonus with maces, would a Human Shadow Priest get to double-dip on hit rating with these two traits? Seems like Human would be the race with the greatest bonus on the Alliance side.

Yup. The Mace specialization is worth up to 214.154 PP and the Spirit racial bonus can add up to another 93.5231 PP, according to http://warcraft.twintop-tahoe.com/?p=344 .
