Well, rather a lot got accomplished this week. I've made advancements in all areas. I want to discuss Garrison buildings but I spent time this week tracking and analyzing work orders and daily cooldowns to determine it's true cost and therefore profitability, so my time today is running short so that post will have to wait for another time.
Instead I present my standing at the end of the my first week of tracking progress.
Account wide
Achievement Points: 11335
Most of this is due to progress in Legacy Raids and Dungeons. New for this week is

Gold: 252, 956g - a gain of 77, 252g. Quite a nice week on the AH. I had resigned myself to being a farmer since crafted goods have been tricky to sell. My analysis of crafting might have changed my mind, but this area deserves a discussion and post of it's own.
Characters
No one else hit max level this week. I put a bit of time in slightly levelling 3 characters on my other account. They are now at 92/92 and 94. I wanted to get their garrisons up to level 2 and get some production going. More on them another time.

Assessment
I am happy with the progress this week in all areas. My garrisons are coming along quite nicely and I seeing some solid profit potential with level 3 Trading Posts on all level 100 characters and level 3 storehouses on my two gatherers. I may switch out Madmurray's Enchanting Building as 2 of the 3 characters I am bringing along on my other account have Enchanting. The profit margin on Enchanter produced Temporal Crystals is much better than on non-professionals. I will have to examine the other professions in more depth to find a suitable replacement.
For this upcoming week I would like to level the tag-alongs to at least level 96 and finish levelling Ironicah to level 100. I don't think I will hit LFR ilevel this week, but I will probably be there the week after. I think if I can find time this week I may compose another post, to really examine buildings in more depth.
Cheers,

Good work. For Gearing, you did check out my gearing guide on wowhead, right? Surely you have enough Apexis Crystals for an item or two that will up your iLvL.
ReplyDeleteI notice that on a lot of alts, you say you're at 20 followers. No level 3 Barracks for upping the number to 25?
And 77K for the week? Wow. That's really good.
Hiya.
DeleteUnfortunately I have been rather remiss in doing Apexis Dailies. I'm getting close to having enough for an upgrade, but I'm not quite there yet. I have read your guide, but I'll have another look to see where I can make some headway.
I have a few characters who have had to deactivate followers, and I have been thinking of making the upgrades to the Barracks. Reading another guide on Wowhead I see where I have missed a couple of followers, and I know there are more to come in Nagrand and elsewhere. I would like to have as many active as I can, so level 3 Barracks is definitely on the cards.
Watching you blossom as an auctioneer has inspired me to push that area also. Selling off my duplicate pets defintintely helped this week. I still have quite a few high value ones left as well as two of the upgrade tokens I crafted last week. Now that I've calculated true crafting costs I think I'll be able to make some more headway this week and start using up the soulbound mats that are starting to pile up.
