War Within Beta, Cata Shuffles & Cross Realm Trading - Wowhead Economy Weekly Wrap-Up 330
Hello! Welcome to the 330th edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up!
This week we digest first impressions of The War Within Beta and discuss what potential strategies we might develop for gold making early on when the expansion launches. We also take a peek at a nice Cata Classic JC/Alchemy shuffle and talk about the methods and tools used to get into Cross Realm trading.
My name is Samadan and I'll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!
The War Within Beta Starts
With the release of The War Within Beta, we saw a whole fresh state of the next expansion to test along with a flood of more gold makers interested in how they work and what their thoughts are.

Spent 4+ hours looking over the basics for professions on the
@warcraft
Beta today.
1st impressions are good.
Alchemy — Alt army god with Blasphemite
Blacksmithing — Cool crafter buff mechanic
Cooking — Baked in Flavor Pocket system is nice
Enchanting — Still the crest kings
Engineering — YES BOE MOUNT, bomb potions are an interesting idea.
Inscription — Needs work still. Very bare.
Jewelcrafting — Finally jc might care about gems!
Leatherworking — 100% Copy paste. Needs something new.
Tailoring — Basically not implimented yet, but profession bags are cool!
Another thing to note, is PvP gear, which in DF remained BoE, is moving onto the Work Order System.
Removal of «elemental» style materials being present in almost every craft is a welcome change.
Hope for more Toy/cosmetic/fun items to be added later in the beta. Most every profession feels very template still but
Still yet to look over spec trees/ leveling paths or concentration impact.
I'm sure he will have more thoughts and updates as we progress through the Beta.
We also have a recent Blue response to some questions on the forums which is interesting ..
Thank you for the feedback, Hambrick. While we don’t Read more on wowhead.com
