I’ve been doing inscription and let me tell you… it’s a pain going to and from SW because someone doesn’t have a long boi out. I tried mass buying supplies but I’m talking about mass supply and demand so I’m constantly running out. Why can’t the engineering AH be open to every one? At this point it’s just super inconvenient.
You should only need to do the runback while leveling the profession which honestly took me less than an hour to power level both of mine (alch and blacksmithing). After that you should be able to craft most things in org. Unless I’m missing something, that is.
Edit: replace org with stormwind since you’re Alliance.
I’m mainly talking about the stuff required to craft that’s only sold in Oribos. I’ve been buying by the bulk but it’s still not enough. x.x;
Could make a macro that buys so much you can fill your bags. Isn’t there a bank in oribos? If the items you are buying are considered “mats” you should be able to hoard them in your bank mats tab and use them from stormwind so you should be able to stack a ton.
I found this on wowhead:
Every vendor’s inventory has numbers associated with each item. To buy multiples with a macro, you need to know the item’s number.
Use this macro to find an item’s number once you open a vendor’s sale window.:
KEEP IN MIND AN ITEM’S NUMBER IS DIFFERENT AT EACH VENDOR!
/script for i = 1, GetMerchantNumItems() do print(i, GetMerchantItemInfo(i)) end
The number will appear to the right of the item’s name. Once you have the item’s number, you can use a macro to purchase a certain number of that item. As of today (patch 8.3 6/14/2020) you can even use the macro to purchase a specific number of items regardless of its stack size. For example, you can buy 51 wild flour even though it comes in stacks of 10, by simply putting 51 for the amount in the macro below.
Use this macro to buy a number of the vendor’s sale window:
/script BuyMerchantItem(put the item’s number here - can be obtained using above macro, put the amount of the item you want here)
*TIPS:
- You can add multiple lines to the macro if you want to buy several different items at the same time - just enter a line for each item using its respective number and the amount of the item you’d like to buy
EX - the following macro buys 100 Fresh Potato & 100 Foosaka at the same time from the Brutosaur:
/script BuyMerchantItem(19, 100)
/script BuyMerchantItem(18, 100)
- If you want to easily choose the icon & see how many of the item you have in your bag, just add #showtooltip to the beginning of the macro.
EX - the following macro buys 200 Nylon Thread from the Brutosaur & shows how many are in your bags:
#showtooltip Nylon Thread
/script BuyMerchantItem(27, 200)

There should be, as it doesn’t make sense lorewise why the Brokers wouldn’t want to trade with as many people as they could.
Suddenly the longboi is showing its value 
If only we could get the riders to stand still though!
