Well&#8230; if you were an avid open world farmer, it&#8217;s not all lost, as you&#8217;ll find out later on&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>My Pre-Legion Hoarding Update:</strong><br />
When an expansion comes to an end, it&#8217;s a great time to get yourself prepared for the new expansion and as a gold goblin, attempt to profit from those, that weren&#8217;t fortunate enough to follow suit. I&#8217;ve been extremely busy the last couple of weeks and can happily say I&#8217;m ready for Legion. At the end of May, my liquid gold was at approximately 3.2 million. I think I&#8217;ve invested all my gold wisely, but the full results wont be clear until I sell my stock. According to <strong>TradeSkillMaster</strong> my approximate value of my inventory currently stands at &#8211; <strong>25.7m</strong>.</p>

<p>Now, I&#8217;m fully aware that this total can be manipulated by the &#8216;value price source&#8217; that&#8217;s input. So let me reassure you all by clarifying my custom price source below.</p>
<p><strong>avg(DBRegionMarketAvg, DBGlobalMarketAvg, TUJGlobalMedian, DBRegionHistorical, DBGlobalHistorical)</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll clearly see that I haven&#8217;t got <strong>DBMarket</strong> as this <strong>can</strong> be heavily manipulated from clever goblins on your server, so I don&#8217;t use this! My price string is influenced by average Region and Global prices, to give me a very good average price source. This custom price source was slightly edited from that of Mankind&#8217;s, if you haven&#8217;t seen his <strong>TSM</strong> video&#8217;s, click <a href="https://grahranswowgold.wordpress.com/2016/07/12/tradeskillmaster-guides/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. They are exceptional videos, that help you understand everything to do with <strong>TSM</strong> so check them out!</p>
<p>A great deal of my gold is also tied up with level 25 Battle Pets (mostly very rare <strong>TCG</strong> or holiday pets) which is where we get into the unknown, as no one at this point really knows how the <strong>Squirt</strong> daily will be affected in <strong>Legion</strong>. If the Squirt daily is affected by legion we will likely see a rise in demand of level 25 pets. This is a calculated assumption that level 25 pets will be in high demand, so I&#8217;ve carefully stocked up on those that I feel will net me the most profit! I have an image below of my most sought after battle pets, this is just a little taste of what I have on my Battle Pet collector.</p>

<p>I will be looking to sell the <strong>MoP</strong> rare Battle Pets asap, as <strong>MoP</strong> raids will become easier, thanks to <strong>Legion</strong>. Although these pets are currently hard to obtain due to their low drop rates, the supply will rise as more people clear that content.</p>
<p>If you want to see updates on what I&#8217;m selling or stocking up for <strong>Legion</strong>, be sure to get updates as they happen, via my <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/GrahransWoWGold" target="_blank">Twitter</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/GrahransWoWGold/" target="_blank">Facebook</a></strong>. I&#8217;m also happy to answer any questions you may have. If I don&#8217;t have the answer, I&#8217;m sure I may know someone who will.</p>
<p><strong>ServerHop or CrossrealmAssist nerf:</strong><br />
Sadly there were adjustments, or nerfs to the much loved <strong>ServerHop</strong> or <strong>CrossRealmAssist</strong>, which to some extent, brought new beginnings. Whether these were intended or not are another matter, but thankfully if you use these addons to farm in open world, you&#8217;ll be relieved to know it&#8217;s still beneficial to use them. The devs changed it, so that if you were joining a group, that you had to be within the vicinity of the leader, to successfully join a player on a different realm. With this change, bought the ability to &#8216;hyper spawn&#8217; mobs. If you were in a 5 man group and carefully positioned, this meant that the mobs were instantly spawning as soon as you killed and looted them.</p>
<p>The materials on the <strong>Auction House</strong>, for example <a class="q1 icontiny" href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=52326"><img src="https://i2.wp.com/wow.zamimg.com/images/wow/icons/tiny/inv_misc_volatilewater.gif" align="absmiddle" /> <span class="tinyicontxt">Volatile Water</span></a>, <a class="q2 icontiny" href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=21884"><img src="https://i2.wp.com/wow.zamimg.com/images/wow/icons/tiny/inv_elemental_primal_fire.gif" align="absmiddle" /> <span class="tinyicontxt">Primal Fire</span></a> have crashed, due to the amount that people are successfully farming up. The biggest success so far is the frog farm on the <strong>Timeless Isle</strong>. With <a class="q4 icontiny" href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=74248"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/wow.zamimg.com/images/wow/icons/tiny/inv_misc_crystalepic2.gif" align="absmiddle" /> <span class="tinyicontxt">Sha Crystal</span></a> so hard to come by, there&#8217;s an absolute mint to be made here&#8230; and don&#8217;t ignore the whelpling farms.</p>
<p><strong>Supreme Lord Kazzak:</strong><br />
For quite a bit of time now, I stopped doing the <strong>Kazzak</strong> weekly kill, but it&#8217;s came to my attention, that it&#8217;s worthwhile again. Not only do you have the chance to loot double the <a class="q3 icontiny" href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=127759"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/wow.zamimg.com/images/wow/icons/tiny/spell_yorsahj_bloodboil_green.gif" align="absmiddle" /> <span class="tinyicontxt">Felblight</span></a>  than what you got before pre patch, but you can also loot <strong>ilvl 720</strong> gear now, with the chance to get upgraded to <strong>Warforged</strong> or even <strong>Titanforged</strong>. I have a number of alts and this has given me the incentive to get them geared before <strong>Legion</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>** It&#8217;s important to know, that Blizzard have prevent players below level 100 to get loot from a Kazzak kill. **</strong></p>
<p>Squirt Menagerie Daily Nerfed:<br />
As <strong>Peelyon</strong> expected, the <strong>Squirt</strong> daily got nerfed and our beloved <strong>Weebomination</strong> is no longer of any use to us, well in the circumstances that we want to cleave the mobs and thus complete the battle as quick as possible. So this means we need a workaround. Thankfully <strong>Peelyon</strong> and a user on <strong>Wowhead</strong> (<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/user=Robotusch">Robotusch</a>) have a solution. To view this new strategy, please follow this <strong><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/npc=79179/squirt#comments:id=2311049" target="_blank">link</a></strong>.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not aware of P<strong>eelyon</strong> (still) be sure to check him out at <strong><a href="http://www.twitch.tv/peelyon" target="_blank">Twitch</a></strong>. Has a wealth of knowledge on Battle pets and gold making and also writes on behalf of <strong>IcyVeins</strong> for their new <strong><a href="http://www.icy-veins.com/forums/forum/86-gold-making/" target="_blank">gold making</a></strong> forum.You can also catch me in his chat AKA <strong>Grarand</strong>. Although I&#8217;m a poor Moderator, I&#8217;ll do my best to answer any questions you have in a bid to assist <strong>Peelyon</strong>.</p>
<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s enough of me rambling on for now&#8230; don&#8217;t forget guys, <strong>18th (US)</strong> or <strong>19th (EU)</strong> for release of Demon Hunter&#8217;s, I shan&#8217;t be jumping on straight away, I&#8217;m expecting issues and will happily watch on and continue to post auctions&#8230;lol.</p>
<p>Good luck and thanks for reading!</p>
