The trader inside of the Garrison sells all of the WoD mats for Resources.
Up until this week, it fluctuated daily from 16 to 32 Resources per item. The trick was you’d load up on Resources and then keep checking it… and once the item you wanted fell on a “16” day, you cash in all your Resources across all your alts.
I haven’t heard anything about this, and stealth-nerfing something from two xpacs ago is a weird move, but all this week, EVERYTHING has been 24 Resources per mat. It hasn’t changed in 6 days.
Did they announce this and I missed it? The meme is “fun detected, fun removed” but this is such a weird thing to change. Seriously, Blizzard… why do this???
I haven’t been looking at my garrisons lately. I know traders can repeat from day to day, and I know there was at least one trader who did 24 for everything; is it possible you’re just getting him several days in a row? Or are you seeing other traders also do 24 instead of what they used to do?
And I meant the guy that sells furs for 16 resources in the trade post. They have been swapping out, but the worthwhile ones seem to be fewer between now. I’m glutted on resources waiting to buy beast hides.
Since you have an army of alts, at least 2-3 of them should have a follower with an Herbalist-skill in your Garden. Always grow Frostweed.
I have 2 alts that are Alchem, Xmute spec. Mail all the Frostweed to them. Keep running work orders in your Alchem station. Each work order gets you 1-4 Sorcerous Water or Fire. It doesn’t matter which, they’re both easily converted to Earth.
And not only that, because they’re Xmute spec, after a week you should have 40+ Fire/Water that should easily proc into 50+ Earth.
edit to add: I was doing various things to get Primals and then use the Primals to buy Earth… but this method is SOOOOO much better.
Easily keeps up with the cloth/herb income rate. And I have ZERO out of pocket expense.
My herb gardens are set to Gorgrond Flytrap, so thats never a problem. I buy Fur with Garrison resources.
Primal Earths at the Primal Vendor or AH if they are cheap.
I am sure there are more profitable ways, but I try not to spend too much time on too many Alts. Thats why most have been retired and are basically just Hexweave sweatshop workers.
