Top Selling Glyphs since Mists of Pandaria

By popular request, Twitchie Enterprises presents: my top selling glyphs since Mists of Pandaria.

The usual caveats apply.

• These results are from my sales only, they don't necessarily represent the sales ratios for the server (let alone on other servers).
• Some glyphs may have got off to a slow start due to the discovery process. A big thanks to my wonderful sub-contracted minions who supplied me with glyphs in the early days (particularly blazing trail for my warrior!!!!)
• The time period below covers from launch day until 30th November. I'll be sure to update this when we're further along into the expansion.
• Monk glyphs have a leg up, since no monk had any of the glyphs already when the expansion started. Similarly, the most popular 'mandatory' glyphs for popular specs wouldn't sell as many since existing players are more likely to already know them.
• My posting schedule and ability to keep popular glyphs in stock may also skew the results.

Looking at the list, it is immediately clear that Blizzard has hit a high point with glyph design. Most of the top selling glyphs are at the top because they are just plain awesome. Take [Glyph of Zen Flight] for example, there is no more serene way to travel through Azeroth (and Outlands like my monk above). So many of the top glyphs are cosmetic and fun, and represent a real choice for players.

There are also some popular glyphs that relate to player power in a minor way (even if that's just a quality of life change). I'd be surprised if any hunter didn't take [Glyph of Marked For Death] and [Glyph of Mind Spike] has a great synergy with the shadow priest talent: Divine Insight.

What's your favourite glyph? Since the 5.1 change, [Glyph of Shadow Ravens] looks great and is my pick of the bunch.

November 2012 Glyph Sales

November glyphs sales were strong, with the average price up by 10g, and cracking 50k in sales.

November Stats:

• Total Glyph Sales: 51089g
• Total Glyphs Sold: 852
• Average Price: 59g96s

So it's time to start making all of that coin back. There's plenty more mounts at predictable prices (e.g., jewelcrafting and engineering mounts) to buy and ride before I'm satisfied.

Glyphs this month were great, and now that I have discovered all of the new glyphs, am enjoying how quick and easy (and mostly afk) this market can be. I managed to buy a ton of herbs at 1.5g/ea which had me set for rare inks all the way through the Darkmoon Faire (which is on at the moment) and topped up my supply of shoulder inscriptions. I'm still making my way through my stockpile of glyphs, and my stockpile of inks has now dried up completely, which is great timing now that herb prices have taken a dive. Even after the nerf to node respawn rates, I'm finding silkweek on the AH in bulk for under 2g/ea. Starlight Ink for less than 40g giving me epic shoulder inscriptions for less than 120g and selling for over 500g is great for business.

I've been making Darkmoon Cards, but with only two scribes haven't put too many decks together just yet. I have one of everything so far for this faire, so it will be interesting to see how much I can get for them in the days and weeks ahead. I have Borg kitted out with the tanking and strength trinket, and my shadow priest with the intellect one, so unless I get an urge to level to 90... all of these will be for sale.

In game I'm still yet to valor cap an alt, and with the ability to upgrade gear, unfortunately I can't see and end to grinding out that 1000 valor on my main first. The additional valor from raid bosses will help substantially. I've been having a great time trading food in game, as well as my usual markets.

As requested in my comments, I've managed to produce a list of my best selling glyphs since Mists of Pandaria hit, so look out for that soon!

Mimiron's Head: 750k from the BMAH

[Mimiron's Head] came up on the Black Market Auction House yesterday on my server. I had several whispers from friends as soon as it was up, and I was on the case.

Until a couple of hours to go it was only up over the 400k mark, and I put an early bid in for 500k. Then I realised that the auction would end during an alts run of Mogu'shan Vaults, and gladly got outbid. If you stalk the AH diligently enough, you can get a pretty good idea of when an auction will end. I usually try and catch the moment (or near enough) when the auction goes from long (>2hrs, <12hrs) to medium (>30m, <2hrs). Then conservatively, the auction can't end earlier than 2 hours after you saw it at long, and no later than 2 hours after you saw it at medium. I use this to help pinpoint when the auction will change from medium to short, giving me a solid indication of when the auction will end (within minutes).

For auctions that go above 500k, you can't raise the bid yourself once you have made a bid. The gold cap for a single character is 1 million gold, so you are committing half the available gold on that character each time you bid. You must wait to be outbid, collect your bid from the mail and head back into the BMAH to bid again. Engineers and Argent Squires rejoice. The timing of your bids is crucial.

Since I wanted to get to the raid, I bid 750k with less than 30 minutes remaining. Jondy checked on the auction a couple of times while I was melting the faces off the Stone Guard and Feng, and as Feng was crumbling beneath our attacks she confirmed that the auction had finished with a final price of 750k gold. I left my fellow raiders to have at it with the trash before Gara'jal and checked my mail!

Above is a shot of my winning bid. I'm not sure how long that notification stays up, so if you know - please shout it out in the comments. Almost immediately after my win, [Invincible's Reins] came up on the BMAH... not only did I get another series of whispers, but some chatter over mumble. I was pleased to learn that the new mount went for 625k 610k*, but I just couldn't justify another huge spend.

I'm very excited to have the mount, and have been riding around in it with all my characters. The purchase took me just under 1 million gold, so I'm keen to save up for some of the other mounts Mists of Pandaria has to offer.

* Edit: Jondy managed to spot someone flying on Invincible's Reins, so I jumped onto my horde Warlock to have a chat. 

October 2012 Glyph Sales

Mists of Pandaria lead to a modest posting schedule, and revenue settling down to late Cataclysm levels.

October Stats:

• Total Glyph Sales: 39134g
• Total Glyphs Sold: 775
• Average Price: 50g49s

The major difference between this graph and the one from May is that now I'm using TSM accounting to track my sales data, the sale date that is recorded for each transaction is actually the date it was purchased from the auction house rather than the date I collected the coin. On days where I haven't posted (or there is a LOT of competition when I do) I'm more able to get an idea of the diminishing returns of glyphs aging on the auction house.

The average price of glyphs is up over 50g each which is a reflection on the new glyphs entering the market. I'll post some details about my biggest sales coming into the patch soon.

September 2012 Glyph Sales

A mini glyphmas for patch 5.0.4 that slowly simmered down as people prepared for Mists of Pandaria.

September Stats:

• Total Glyph Sales:  80438g
• Total Glyphs Sold: 1810
• Average Price:  44g44s

I was very excited to have some big, big sales as patch 5.0.4 hit making all the preparation worth while. Of course having said that, at the time of actually writing this it's November and I'm still subsisting on the ink stockpile from before 5.0.4 and still have many, many glyphs filling up 3 tabs of a guild bank.

Once Mists of Pandaria hit, blogging went out the window as I leveled and got ready for raiding. The daily grind for reputation and valor points has been pretty brutal so my WoW time goes something like this: Raiding and guild stuff > power gains for my main > gold making > other fun wow activities (projects for my main, leveling alts etc) > blogging. So October went by without a whimper from the Overlord of Twitchie Enterprises except for some yelps on twitter.

So I have my revered reputations sorted (Exalted the Klaxxi of course) and can cap valor (thanks to the bump for heroic dungeons and scenarios) without too much of a struggle. I've been making gold every which way as well, but haven't had too much time to write about it (I know they miss me over at the Consortium Forums too =P). What I will say is that I love cooking. I have a character dedicated to storing, selling and buying food and I've been Ironpaw shuffling like a mad beast. I am proudly Master of the Ways and even have my apprentice Nomi well on the way to doing my culinary bidding.

August 2012 Glyph Sales

Patch 5.0.4 hit this month, and sales on the first day eclipsed the rest of the month. Over 50k sales on the patch day was a terrific result, and really makes all that preparation worth while.

August Stats:

• Total Glyph Sales:  103173g
• Total Glyphs Sold: 1725
• Average Price:  59g81s

I'll be posting in more detail about the first few days following the patch, particularly some data on which glyphs were the big hits for me, so stay tuned for that.

Having plenty of both glyphs and ink stockpiled made posting very easy, and I was able to craft a full set of each new glyph almost immediately. Dath'Remar was very, very well prepared, with most glyphs becoming cheaper as the undercutting wars went on. I did my auctioneering duty and reset a few pieces of low hanging fruit, but most glyphs remained squarely in the 40 - 150g bracket. None of my major competitors seem to have run out of stock, and it will be interesting to see how the market continues into MoP next week.

July 2012 Glyph Sales

I've been been busy stockpiling glyphs for MoP, hanging out at The Consortium Forums and ... well generating coin of course. Here are the stats for glyphs in July.

• Total Glyph Sales:  58030g
• Total Glyphs Sold: 1472
• Average Price:  39g42s

While I'm selling even more glyphs, the biggest hit was the price per glyphs - 10g less than last month on average. There has been a marked increase in competition as the expansion grows closer, and a lot of new leveling scribes. More recently I have also been actively buying out the cheap glyphs to reset the market price, and noticing that some of my competitors thresholds are reasonably high. When all it takes to reset a glyph to my fallback is buy out one glyph, and cancel three of my own, it really makes me appreciate being prepared to sell glyphs closer to the cost price than my competitors.

Since I've got all my data in a database, it's much easier to start looking at the longer term trends for my sales in the glyph market, so I'll leave you with a graphical representation of my glyph stats since I started recording them.

The big pie chart of sales by category is coming soon... but if you have any requests for data and analysis from my 18 months of sales data... hit me up here or on twitter, and I'll include that in a future post!

* If you can spot the error in the graphs... shhhhh... you only get an prize (a retweet of your brilliance counts, right?) if you can figure out what the correction would be.

Glyphing in MoP? The Consortium has you covered

As I was searching for information about how inscription is going to change for MoP, I kept coming back to the same place. The Constortium Forums. I enjoy gold blogs and podcasts, but when it comes to collaberation, speculation and the refinement of strategy, a densely populated forum is often where our gold community shines.

Here are some of my favourite posts from the Consortium, and the places to watch for the latest thinking about the glyph market in MoP.

[Inscription] Guide on "WINNING" with MoP glyph preparation

Kathroman has written an eight step guide to preparing for the glyph market come patch 5.0 and beyond. The best step of course, is step 8 which is coming back to the forum and bragging about how much coin you made with glyphs. Don't stop with Kathroman's guide there's some great discussion in the thread about ratios of older inks for stockpiling, the fact that as you stockpile closer to infinity inks, the ratio doesn't matter and speculation on the market conditions for MoP.

My tip for most of these posts it not to brag about your ink / glyph stockpile until you've read what some of these guys are planning. They are freakin' mental.

Inscriptionist - Directory of Changes for Inscription

Ravanys has put together a side by side comparison of glyphs for the transition from Cataclysm to Mist of Pandaria. The heading link takes you to the thread on the Consortium forums, here is the direct link to the Inscriptionist page.

The first use of the page is to track glyphs that will become faded in 5.0 / MoP. When patch 4.0.1 hit, there were a number of glyphs that didn't survive Deathwing's wrath, and were burned - [Charred Glyph]. Blizzard is introducing more than 50 new glyphs for the expansion, so there's really no excuse let too many glyphs fade, and currrently there's only a couple that appear destined for the scrap heap.

I've also been using the inscriptionist page to browse the new glyphs that we'll have access to. My absolute favourite minor glyph so far is [Glyph of the Blazing Trail]. I'm going to set some $@#% on fire!

Ratios for Ink Stockpiling

There has been plenty of discussion about stockpiling glyphs for cataclysm. I like Kathroman's approach to ratios:

if you have enough ink stockpiled, specific ink distribution will be negligible

If you aren't aiming for 100k+ inks, then it's worth reading some of the discussion.

Meyer on Ink distribution ratios

Somehow I momentarily managed to hijak the Goblinventory Discussion Thread while discussing stockpiling and general methods of storage using the example of stockpiling inks and glyphs for MoP. I jumped the gun on Meyer's earlier post on the ratio of inks, and he expanded with a bunch of additional variables, including weighting the stockpile towards glyphs for Monks.

Zman crunches Twitchie's Ultimate Glyph Performance List

ZMan was kind enough to take the data from my Ultimate Glyph Performance List and provide a distribution of inks based on my sales data.

Ink of the Sea - 35%
Ethereal - 23%
Lion's - 12%
Midnight - 11%
Jadefire - 10%
Celestial - 5%
Shimmering - 4%

I was pretty pleased to see 16 months of data broken down to the distribution of inks, so adding recipe information to my database is definitely on my todo list. Whichever set of figures you look at, they all agree that stockpiling with a preference for Ink of the Sea > Ethereal Ink > everything else.

[Inscription] Scaling your glyph operation to handle over 400 distinct glyphs in MoP

Last but not least, when I looked at all the new glyphs made with Mist of Pandaria materials, and saw how few glyphs would become faded I realised that my two character glyph operation wouldn't be able to handle the large number of distinct glyphs without some modification. So I wrote a quick guide on how I would scale up my operation and give a heads up that other glyphers might want to think how the changes will effect them too.

My approach to stockpiling for the 5.0 / MoP Glyph Market

First and foremost, I've been buying all the whiptail and cinderbloom I can get my hands on... and it has been some of the cheapest bulk herb buying I've done all expansion. This morning, after the MoP release date was announcement, I managed to pick up some freakishly cheap herbs as they were unceremoniously dumped on the AH.

I've picked up a guild bank, and sent a teary eyed alt packing from our 'quiet time' guild to start stashing glyphs. My usual operational stockpile is anywhere between 10 - 18 of each glyph, and I bulk craft with TSM about once per week. I'm in the process of adding a 20 stack of each glyph on top of that and storing it in the new guild bank - mostly so I can monitor the stockpile and not overcraft glyphs by accident. Once I have that out the way, I'll see how much blackfallow ink I have left over and do a conversion to older inks and most likely store all that in the mail.

The beauty of the way TSM is set up, is that I can manage both my operational inventory and my 5.0 / MoP stockpile at the same time. When I want to bulk craft to top up my operational inventory, I go into TSM Crafting options > Inventory Settings and deselect my storage guild from the 'Guilds to include:' drop down. I can then hit restock queue and beef up my regular inventory to 18 of each glyph. When I want to bulk craft for my stockpile, I add the guild back in, and it's easy to see which glyphs I've already precrafted.

I will be posting about the logistics of topping up my operational inventory from my stockpile once I figure out the best way to do it, so keep an eye out for that.
