Wowhead Economy Weekly Wrap-Up 322: Brutosaur, BMAH, and Saddlebag Exchange Demonstrations

Hello! Welcome to the 322nd edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up! In this week's blog post, we'll be discussing some exciting new developments on Saddlebag Exchange, specifically focusing on Cross Realm Trading. We'll also be exploring ways to maximize your chances of obtaining the elusive Mighty Caravan Brutosaur from the Black Market Auction House. And lastly, we'll be delving into preparations for Cataclysm Classic, including investments and crafted gear. My name is WowCarry, and I'll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!

BMAH and the Brutosaur

Ever since the removal of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur as a 5 million gold vendor item, it has become incredibly elusive through the Black Market Auction House. For a long time, it rarely appeared in the rotation, and even now, it is quickly snatched up for gold cap. If you're determined to get your hands on one, here are a few methods to consider:

1. Get a second account to transfer gold between servers, as direct mailing is not possible.
2. Target low to medium population servers to level on, ensuring you don't roll on the same BMAH cluster.
3. Be lucky. The fierce competition and limited supply make luck a vital factor in acquiring a brutosaur.

While the road to owning a brutosaur may be challenging, it serves as a symbol of prestige among goblins. Ideally, Blizzard would introduce changes to the BMAH or create a similar mount to provide more opportunities for players. Have you managed to obtain a brutosaur? Let us know in the comments below!

Cataclysm Classic Pre Patch Investments & Crafted Gear

• Cataclysm Classic Pre Patch

Seren Games has released a fantastic video highlighting items that may see a surge in demand during the Cataclysm Classic Pre-Patch. As many players are likely to return and gear up for the next Classic expansion, investing in these items could prove profitable. However, keep in mind that investing in speculative items always carries some risk. Only invest what you're willing to lose.

The Lazy Goldmaker also provides valuable insights in a video discussing crafted gear options in Cataclysm Classic Phase 1. Professions will play a pivotal role in the early stages, making it an excellent opportunity for gold-making. Make sure to prepare your profession characters in advance to stay ahead of the competition.

Saddlebag Exchange Updates & Demos

Following our previous discussion on cross realm trading, the team at Saddlebag Exchange has rolled out updates to their site, including demos and examples of how to uncover market niches. Market niches, such as Transmog, toys, and recipes, can be a hidden goldmine, providing deals on items that can fetch a hefty sum.

Now, Saddlebag Exchange offers enhanced search functionality with customizable URL endings. This feature allows users to create and share custom searches, ensuring a more personalized experience. The platform also hosts several pre-defined searches, including dragonflight, high-value transmog weapons and gear, ultra-cheap deals for beginners, and much more. These searches can help you discover profitable opportunities across multiple realms.

While cross realm trading may not be suitable for everyone due to the need for multiple accounts, it undoubtedly offers a great avenue for understanding overlooked niche items with high profit potential. However, managing characters, inventory, and pricing can be challenging.
