I didn ' t stockpile anything , and I don ' t regret it . Made a ton out the gate with obliterum , once that started to become not worth the time clicking the mouse alchemy went gang busters during the prime I was making 300 k gold profit a night average , now alchemy has slowed and good old trusty transmog is starting to pick up again and fill in the gaps . All in all , I ' ve made a ton of gold with 0 preparation . As I always do , I just take it as it comes and adapt as needed . I ' ve learned you never really can predict what is going to happen in the future , it ' s best to just find something you can sell for a profit now , and sell a shit ton of it every day . Rinse and repeat . There really isn ' t much more to it than that .
