Boost!

On top of lost stock I also lost access to a second account. I used to actively dual box WOW quite regularly. I challenged myself to two-man dungeons while playing both characters and I used to post auctions on two accounts at the same time, which was an incredible time savings that I still miss. Along with the loss of that second account I also lost two max level professions, Blacksmithing and Inscription. I have characters with each of these skills on my account but both are far from being max level and one was my transmog auctioneer.


Then when logging into WOW I saw the offer of a free character boost if you pre-ordered the next expansion. Having a Druid at level 75 meant that his professions would automatically be maxed out at 600. He originally was an Alchemist and Herbalist, providing an extra daily cool down in Cataclysm. A quick swap to Inscription and submitted the boost, instant max level Scribe. Next was regularly logging in on this character to do his daily research cool downs. Previously I had all of the glyph patterns, now I had only a small number but that was growing daily.


The two severs that I actively play on had been merged into one. That left me with two auctioneer characters dedicated to Transmog, and very little stock to split between them. I reassigned one to selling glyphs and the other to Transmog.



Having auctioneers dedicated to specific markets allows me to set up custom mailing rules in TSM 2.0. For example I buy herbs on the toon that I use to post glyphs, and then I auto mail them to my Scribe. My scribe turns the herbs into inks, and makes glyphs to restock my auctions. Once complete I auto mail the finished glyphs back to the auctioneer who posts them to the Auction House. All in all it is a very simple system that keeps thing organized.
