Critical's Secret Costing Calculator

You asked for it (actually only Brent and Robot did, but I've been wanting to talk about Buying for a while now). So ... here is one of the most important tools you need to help you improve your Buying:

Critical's herb and glyph costing calculator

To be honest this is Critical's MOST important secret. I release these dataz because I love you Critical Readers. This is 10x more important than posting/selling strats because the cheaper/lower you pay for herbs, the more aggressive your posting strats can be.

To keep this post clean and short I will do the How-To guide to use this calculator tomorrow, rather than mass pics here.

GrayzBDF's Goal Post

Like many other readers and authors, Critical loves scouring the internet for interesting blogs. When you find a good one its a special feeling. You are part a small group who have stumbled upon a treasure trove that you and few others know about.

GrayzBDF seems to have discontinued his blog but skimming through some of his older posts, this is what made Critical get a strange tingly feeling and go, ZOMG SOMEONE ELSE EXACTLY GETS IT!

People can say what they want with whichever arguments they have, but it's simple; I choose a goal, learn what I need to get there and do it. Every single time that I choose a goal and shoot for it, I reach it, without fail. It's all just a matter of how long it takes to reach the goal, if you do the same things that other succesful people do. You can't fail if you're on a successful path. And success is simply "the realization of a worthy ideal" -Earl Nightingale. Brian Tracy would argue that you can reach any goal, "within reason", which may hold true, but most of the time human beings hold themselves back more than they push forward, so I simplify it and say if you can imagine it, you can do it.

PS: Grayz I like your writing style. I myself have 98% quit wow, no raiding, no pvp not even playing the AH (only maintain a sub to run experiments and take screenshots). If you have been playing since Vanilla and hit both caps I am sure you have a stupidly, ridiculous wealth of gold making knowledge. Have you considered blogging about how you AH and the theory behind your processes (or used to if you have quit).

I think if you did shorter, more succinct posts, that as a side benefit take less time than big ones, you would have great success. This is because it is rare to find an author that has years of experience/success, good writing skills and no real reason to withhold good/quality information (because you are not worried about tough competition).

For example this post could have been broken up into 10 smaller posts released 1 by 1. Its not about trying to stretch content and increase blog life. Its about making it easier for yourself because you're not spending heaps of time doing big posts, and its also easier for readers because shorter posts can be skimmed when readers have a spare minute and then mentally digested during routine tasks/work that dont require brainpower.

PPS: I like how you refer to yourself in the 3rd person. I thought I was the pioneer! I guess I was not.

Botticelli would love to meet you!

Week 12 Blog Stats

Another week another blog stat post. Happy to see things returning to normal and not regressing due to bad publicity. Week 12 ending 26 November 2011:



In general most of my new posts start off with around 50 to 100 page views each, which is cool for a new blog. I dont know what happens on other blogs but the interesting thing is they continue to climb as time passes, I believe as new readers go backwards and read old posts:

What it highlights is that post quality is very important. If the post you release today is of poor quality and it only garners semi interest now, it will definitely not be interesting (and therefore read again) later by any reader (new and old).

Interesting.

PS: If you're new and wondering what these blog stats posts are about, its primarily a post about the blog itself rather than on topic glyphs/gold/competition. The things I talk about here may be confusing if you are not a blog author. Dont worry if your eyes are glazed just stick around for tomorrow's post. Oh and of course dont forget to say hihi if you're new!

Lullaby wants to know what a loving home feels like.


Lullaby's beautifully expressive eyes reveal a young girl who is tender-hearted and sensitive, yearning to be loved for her own worth, not for her commercial value as a breeding machine. 

She is a pretty Chihuahua, spayed, 2 years of age, good with people and dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA. 

Lullaby is incredibly fortunate to be alive.  Her previous owner bred her for puppies, but could not afford the emergency medical care she desperately needed when one of her babies got stuck during the birthing process.  We rescued her and rushed her into a veterinary hospital for an emergency Caesarean section, and 4 of her 5 babies survived and remain in foster care.

Sarah Belle dreams of a Christmas miracle.



So grateful to be getting tender care, Sarah Belle delights in giving you doggie kisses. 

 She dreams of finally being in a loving home for her twilight years.  A hero will accept that she has one functioning eye and has survived liver disease. 

Sarah Belle is a petite, senior Pomeranian, spayed girl, 10 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Please help Sarah Belle get a Christmas miracle.

Stormy and his innocent blue eyes.


Stormy is the kindest, most handsome youngster, and he is beautiful on the inside too.

He is a Flame Point Siamese with crystal blue eyes, neutered boy, 2 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

At the time of rescue Stormy was facing starvation on the mean streets.  But he has bounced back beautifully and he is ready to bless you with unconditional devotion.

Paco hopes someone special will finally take notice.


Paco would love to share his gentle spirit with you.  He is wise, calm, and unassuming. 

We cannot understand why he is one of our longest dog residents, but months have rolled by and he keeps getting overlooked. 

Pet'ographique generously photographed him to help spotlight his humble personality and warm nature. 

Paco is a Longhair Chihuahua, neutered boy, 6 years of age, great with dogs, and available for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Why Co-ops Suck

Because you have to follow rules.

What happens when you break even one rule? Any and all agreements previously agreed upon, including informal non-ah related ones, are nullified instantly as we can see with Brent not wanting to tank for Foo.

Now I wont argue that co-ops dont work. Critical has never tried, how can you say caviar tastes yuck if you have never tried it.

But I mean really, how can you have fun with different posting strats if you have to follow set rules? All you can do are lame, tame, non-Critical-like stuffs. That dont sound like fun.

PS: had no idea u guys were on the same server.

Snugs & Magellan


Snugs & Magellan, in a beautiful portrait courtesy of Pet'ographique to help them find a loving, forever home.

Snugs & Magellan are completely devoted to one another, plus they have more than enough affection left over for you.

Snugs is a gorgeous Lionhead rabbit, spayed girl, 5 years of age. Magellan is a handsome Agouti rabbit, neutered boy, 3 years young. These soul-mates needed us when their previous owners divorced.

Please ask for Snugs & Magellan by name in Nevada SPCA's Lovebugs Room.

Dear Foo, Mox and Brent ...

After another dumb argument Critical finally realizes: No one method is best. Yes yes it sounds strange for Critical to admit his methods are not best. Ya'll finally got it out of me.

Our arguments are almost as lame as arguing that Rook to e4 is a bad move (or good). We shouldn't be saying, this strat wouldnt work against me so thumbs down. It is true most straight forward strats wont work against us because we're very experienced pro glyphers who have done glyphs for years over multiple patches and expansions. We are very good at implementing very complex strats and fine tuning on the fly very fast.

We should instead be assessing why the strat topic at hand, is a good strat (or bad) and what might its strengths and weaknesses be, and/or what are possible counters.

I believe (well I hope anyway) our readers are more interested in this sort of discussion than the argy bargy I'm right your wrong arguments we always get caught up in.

Croda's Glyph Blog

Yay another glyph blogger!

PS: for some reason your Profile doesnt show your blog. Otherwise I would've added your blog ages ago.

Critical's War - Triple Walls Conclusion

Remember Critical's triple wall war post? Seems like ages ago!

Recap of this mini experiment:
- took down all auctions (empty AH)
- start with little gold (<50g)
- cleared, reset and emptied mysales data
- load up 3 walls cleanly and neatly
- leave them up all weekend, dont touch them at all dont even log into wow
- wait until after auctions have expired (more than a week later actually) then open both mailboxes
- rub hands with glee

Log into alt 1 and afk clear mailbox. Repeat alt 2.

Weeee!


Mysales data here.

------------------------------------
Ok maths time!

AH posting time for 2 alts = 21mins
Time taken to log into alt 1 and click mailbox = 1min
Time taken to afk unload everything from alt 1 = 0min
Time taken to log into alt 2 and click mailbox = 1min
Time taken to afk unload everything from alt 2 = 0min

Total actual work time = 23mins
Total sales = 11,849g

GPH = 30,910gph <<< WINNER???!!!!

How-To Production Queue via Mailbox

Today's post is quick and dirty because Critical is sleepy.

A production queue is where you "queue" up mass amounts of mats in a crafting alt's mailbox. End result, mailbox full of mats waiting to be processed:

When you have collected a crapload of mats and are ready to go to bed, unload the mats and start an afk craft queue:

Wake up, brush your teeth. Put your pants on and BAM. Who doesnt like to wake up to a few bags full of inks ready for glyphing:

Critical sure does.

Best 28 Glyphs!

Last week Critical managed to sort out his sales data and finally figured out the actual worst selling 28 glyphs of all time. Holywarrior also asked how did I extract sales data into excel. Well I cant find the consortium link where someone created and shared a java jar program that does the extraction so I cant really do a How-To.

This is my nasty, simple way using mysales (bit lazy to learn TSM_Accounting):
- install and run mysales to collect sales data
- ready to extract data, then find the mysales.lua in WTF folder and cut and paste it somewhere else (which forces mysales to create a new empty file the next time i log into wow)
- use msconvert.jar program which converts the txt into csv
- open the csv file in Excel, use Txt to Columns and save the resulting spreadsheet as a .xls in Excel
- tada

Anyway thats not the point of today's post. Today is the opposite of last week, here are the best 28 selling glyphs! As an added bonus I also included a quantity sold column!
Showing the bottom 28 (highest selling) glyphs of the sales list.

(NB: the reason why the list only has 343 glyphs instead of 344 is because the two Glyph of Death Coils (DK + lock) are combined by mysales. /shrug)

For the super nerds who love google docs:
- Raw glyph sales June to Sep
- Totals June to Sep
