I finally switched to another guild, time will tell, but for now I enjoy more company and some benefits I haven't experienced in the past. For example, one of my guildies made me a Panther mount from my mats and I am looking forward to send him mats for the second one to complete the set of four. I might even go for the uber-Panther.
I am still farming Warbringers, but this time I have a company, one of the guidies, a shaman, is looking for the Direhorn mounts, so he joins me and brings additional DPS. Nice thing about this is that it takes less time to down the Warbringer this way and I can play it safer by spending more time on managing the pet's health and mobs. The guy is humble enough to not ask for any loot, but I send him some windfall bars later anyway (have to smelt what he can use). He already got one mount, so his efforts are not in vain.
On the AH front I started to use Auctioneer's Snatch search, instead of getting enormous list from Resale I focus on few things I know and feel like started to generate some gold from resales. Bean Counter plugin for Auctioneer tells me I am losing money, but my balance grows over time, not sure how it counts profits, suspect it misses sales where gold was taken out of the mailbox using remote agent, so I stopped doing that remotely, but still I can't get a clear picture of what my income from trading is. TSM add-in looks nice in reporting department, providing exact data in exact layout I expect it to be, but the trading setup in TSM does not fit me. I am a gatherer, not a crafter, so all these setups with recipes and plans and rules don't really help me. I want to know how much I can sell a thing for, nothing more. So I went back to using Auctioneer. Auctionator is another nice choice, especially when buying stuff, has few shortcomings too.
I started to do "floor sweeping" in AH - some people under-price items significantly and I pick them up for quick buck. I don't know why they're doing this, but I can see two reasons, first, it's a random item they have no experience with value of and they just want to get rid of it. Second, they might just try to skew the prices and grab whatever is posted below their benchmark. In either case I can leverage those to get some extra gold.
I decided to tame one of the Spirit Porcupines, namely
Hutia and after few unsuccessful tries cried out for help in the guild chat. The guild master promptly got me someone who helped me to tame, although I'll probably won't allow her to do it again. My problem was with the beast self-heal - I couldn't interrupt it with whatever default interrupt shot Beast Masters have right now. One of the guides I found on the Net said you need to use Silencing Shot which I thought was retired, but looks like it can still be used by MM hunters, but I didn't know. The guy who came over to help me used Scatter Shot to interrupt and I feel that if I could get this hint I could've tamed the porcupine myself instead of relying on someone else. So I didn't like the aftertaste. Oh well, I am too lazy to abandon the pet and tame it again solo, I am keeping her. I named her Dyxless, however I don't think anyone around gets the reference.
By the way I have few pets with special names:
My latest addition, Spirit Porcupine: Dyxless
Quilen: Bacbka
Panther: Mypka
Boar: XpIOH
Corehound: TEPbEP
Chimera: XuMepa
