So it's Tuesday, which means it's time for Phat's Weekly Lewt Review!
Updated Gold Total Tab!
If you click the 'Gold Total' tab above, you will see I've added a graph as well as a table on my current gold total, and it's growth over the past. I decided that I wanted to see a graph of my gold growth over time, and since I made it I figured I'd share it with those of you who are interested. The table below it includes changes between updates (some are longer than others), as well as a neat little graph to see my gold growth. I'm going to update this one weekly from now on, so hopefully the graph becomes more informative over time. If you look, you'll notice I made 48.6k this week, or about 7k per day. Check it out it's pretty interesting!
Transmog Sales
What you see here is a snapshot of all my transmog sales for the week. Since my transmog sellr also sells Hypnotic Dust, Frostweave, and Valentine's mounts, you'll also see some of that! (I'm too lazy to edit them out). Basically 10 pieces sold this week with an average sell price of around 1k, so it was a good week for transmog for me. The Soulkeeper I usually keep in a group that's at 5k, but I lowered to 2.5k this week to experiment, and I was almost disappointed when it sold for that, so I bumped it back up. Still made a great profit, but I like getting the huge chunk of change from those who really want the item!
83-84 Gear
The 83-84 gear bracket has been amazing for me recently. I sold over 20 items this week alone! I price them at 500g, and buy at 100g or under, so conservatively I made at least 8k in profits from this method alone. The key is reposting and keeping your downtime to a minimum. Your items need to be on the Auction House when that one character makes that impulse purchase, and then you'll be raking in the gold!
77-78 gear is doing really well for me too, but it's a LOT slower than the 83-84 market, and less available to purchase to flip. Still well worth it though!
Darkmoon
Of course with the DMF beginning this past Sunday, I was investing a copious amount of gold in cards/herbs/etc. I've assembled 6 decks this Faire (aiming for 7) and what's left of my superfluous cards I'm selling as individuals now. I've been working on leveling alts, but I keep forgetting to get the 10% buff from the Faire ride, even though I'm more than aware that it is in town this week.
Back Into Glyphs
In the middle of the past week I got back into glyphs! I had been using one alt to post glyphs, but withdrawing glyphs from my guild bank in bulk was slow, so I split them between my Scribe as well as a level 50 hunter. So far it's not going too bad, making anywhere from 500-2500g/day depending on how much I repost. I had made all the glyphs before the supposed "Glyphmas 2.0" and I literally still have at least 10 of each. Yikes. Instead of having em sit in my bank rotting I decided to start posting again. I actually now have quite a few recipes I've never crafted because of research, and I'm considering crafting them, but definitely not until the Faire is over. We'll see if my affinity for glyphs lasts long this time around, I usually get sick of the constant reposting cycle quite quickly, although a lot of the competition I originally have seem to have disappeared from the market.
Other than that I've just been making the basics, crafted PvP gear, Rare JC rings/necks, cut gems, Living Steel, Flasks, etc. Also I'm starting to work on some profession guides. If all works out well they should be out by the end of the month, just in time for 5.2 to render them obsolete!
Cheers,

Aftermath - How I Fared in 5.0.4
So 5.0.4 dropped a week ago today, and I personally have made 110,780g since the patch dropped.
Glyphmas 1.5
Yes Inks were still tradeable, but I made out pretty well precrafting. I ended up with 11 of each glyph I could make (I was aiming for 20) and was able to sell off a good amount of them. Of my 110k I made this week, 73k (roughly 2/3rds) of it was from glyphs. This was honestly as good as I could have expected even if inks were made untradeable. One thing that I did notice, and I don't know if it was intentional or not: one of my main competitors stopped having glyphs to post, most likely because he did not attempt to actually trade his Blackfallow Ink, and does not know about the lack of change. I'll take it!
AoE Looting
So with AoE looting coming out with the patch, and I had to put it to it's test! I must say I am impressed with the system. I didn't find the system to be buggy at all, in fact it worked a lot better than I had hoped for. The radius for AoE looting is relatively large, much larger than I had expected. I started my testing out on the grinding spot in Deepholm using Potion of Treasure Finding.
Deepholm
The loot in Deepholm is pretty great as we all know. The thing was did it speed it up enough to make it "worthwhile"?
Below is a table of data for what I was able to farm in one hour (using a Potion of Treasure Finding that I payed 100g for).
Honestly I'm not too impressed with the results. For results like this, I'd rather get on an under utilized crafting alt and not waste my time farming these adds, but if this looks like returns you'd like, by all means go get it! Personally I'm going to reward my farming (since I have the cloth) by crafting all 26 slots for my transmog seller, it's a long time coming!
Below is a table with results from 1 hour of farming
One thing I did forget while farming in Deepholm is that I now have the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth on all my alts, providing a insta-vendor to whomever needs it. Also, I vendored all the greens I got and added it to Assorted Vendor Trash instead of trying to sell them on the AH, because I'm lazy, so you can take that into account.
Mr Grubbs
I had mentioned in a previous post I had mentioned that I was going to wait to check out farming for Mr. Grubbs as a Rare Battle Pet via AoE looting. While the spawn time of the adds is a bit long, I just thought I'd share the method I found to be most useful. Go up to Zul'Mashar in Eastern Plaguelands, and kill all the zombie trolls that spawn in the graves. Log another toon for a few minutes, switch back and repeat. Took me about 24 bags and I usually got 3-4 per slaying*.
*Results are not typical. Your results may vary. Discuss your general health status with your doctor to ensure that you are healthy enough to use Phat Lewts' Farming Advice. Side effects of taking this advice may include, but are not limited to: increased gold making, extra companion pets, boosted gold making ego, and/or, in extreme cases, death. If gold making lasts more than 4 hours, consult your physician immediately.
I'm going to be trying AQ when I get around to it, but haven't had a lot of time to actually get out and play this week, hopefully more farming info to come.
Other Notes
I was really sad Mogit wasn't available for the first few days of the patch, but it got a really nice facelift, make sure you download the most recent version and check it out! Also, TSM performed as flawlessly as possible so a definite bump to Sapu and anyone on the TSM team helping that transition go over smoothly. Also vendor sorting is a cool little addition that I hadn't been expecting but am so far enjoying with playing. They have a "BoE" filter which I think can prove to be particularly useful. That's all for me, what was your favorite part of 5.0.4?
Cheers,
