Annother good item to stockpile for cata

You can read this post on justmytwocopper.org

The last week after getting my warrior to 80, and starting on the Shadowmourne quest, I've been thinking. Everyone loves orange stuff, and Shadowmourne is as orange as you can get it. I guess there will be people who would like to get their hands on a legendary axe, even after cata hits. Atm Primordial Saronite is going for 430-500 on my server, and they are still dropping in price. You need 30 Primordial Saronite for the axe. It doesn't drop that much in ICC and the other way to get it would be by trading frost emblems and after cata hits live realms, there wont be anyone farming these emblems anymore. My point is: its gonna be really hard for people to get Primordial Saronite for their legendary axes. Could Primordial Saronite be something to invest some gold into for the distant future? Will the supply be so low that it increases the value even though not that many people want it anymore?

Haha I appreciate the spell check Spiff. You bring up a very interesting point. No one is going to want to farm the primordial saronite and if there is ANY kind of demand for people grouping up and wanting to start the chain for this weapon then I could see the price rising to 2k gold+ per saronite. That demand will most likely come from guilds trying to earn guild experience which will be awarded for each new legendary a guild creates. This will make all your primordial saronite in cataclysm worth far more than it is today.

It's an interesting idea for sure, just look at the price of mats for vanilla legendaries like blessed blade of the wind seeker and there isn't even guild experience to act as an incentive yet. I plan on buying out all the primordial saronite on my server the last few weeks of the expansion.

I have also seen in the beta that there are guild achievements for getting all legendary why should not shadowmourne be a part of this achievement. Because none will farm primordial saronite but still new guild or guilds that haven't gotten the shadowmourne are going to be willing to pay big amounts as a guild to get that legendary.
This could be a good stockpiling item but i recommend waiting a bit and see if this item is in the legendary achievement or not.

  1. Hello all! I love reading the comments people post concerning different ways to make gold, but I did want to mention that your theory for PS is drastically flawed. According to Blizzard there are now, and will always be only two forms of currency used to buy pvp items: Justice Points and Valor Points.

    "When a new tier of raiding gear is released or a new PvP season begins, your higher tier of points will be converted into the lower tier. For instance, if a new tier of raid gear is released, your Valor points will be converted to Justice points, and similarly if a new PvP season begins your Conquest points will be converted to Honor points."

    This means that come cataclysm, when people are completing regular five man dungeons, their still going to be receiving Justice Points. When patch 2.0 comes out, all of the Valor Points people have will automatically be converted down to justice points. There will, unfortunately, never be a shortage of Justice Points. And Primordial Saronites will always cost Justice points. As such I would strongly recommend not planning on tripling your money come cata by flipping these. Again, just posting my views, you have a great site and I love what you do!

    Thanks!
