Important Information For Patreons, WOTLK Classic, Card Of Omens Profit-Taking (Patreon)

So Wrath of the Lich King Classic is coming on 26 September, in fact it is technically already here since the pre-patch is classified as patch 3.0 and we have already had most of the abilities and talent changes for the new classic expansion.

I will be covering Wrath exploit content. In the past classic content has upset some patreons who feel I should be covering retail Wow exclusively. I should emphasize that I do not hunt less for Wow retail exploits, I simply work harder. 

In the first two classic expansions there was some interesting content near launch but over time meaningful exploits were no longer being discovered-not only not by me, but by the exploit community in general. This is mainly because Blizzard have had significant time to fix the original content. 

I expect this pattern to occur with Wrath but there is a significant difference: much of the exploit content in Northrend is still working in retail. There were also many more exploits in original Wrath than the first two expansions.

So I am hopeful that Wrath classic will produce more exploits than Vanilla or Burning Crusade.

I explained a method to profit from the item of "Card Of Omens", essential wow's version of real-life scratchcards, buying these cards at 4 gold or less should make for a profit. 

What I did not know, and has a huge effect on the probability of this technique is that the price volatility on the auction house is HUGE. I was able to sell very significant quantities of this item at OVER 9 GOLD, more than twice the true value of the cards, and 5 gold more than I paid for them I had not expected the price to ever go that high. 

This means the cards, if they continue to fluctuate in value as they have recently, represent possibly the greatest opportunity ever to profit in wow. 

This changes the basic advice in the original article: wherever possible sell the cards above the price you paid for them. You will get your result faster, usually make more gold, with less risk, and do so more quickly. Flipping the cards should be a form of insurance: if the market stubbornly persists in keeping the price of the cards low you still have the option to flip them and make a mathematically expected profit (if not a certain one due to variance). 

Please note the warnings in the original article. If you have compulsive gambling tendencies stay well away. If you have trouble understanding the mathematics of risk (as most normal people do) this is also probably not for you.
