How To | Determine Transmogvalue of Items

This is a post that shows you three little guidelines on how to determine if the Item you have could be sold for a higher Price since it's transmog. Of course theses don't always apply since tastes differ and not all servers are the same.

Back in 2013 Redditor VictoriaLust posted a picture of her Twink warlock, which was in that akward phase of Outland where you get a lot of unique Gearmodels that just won't match up. The title of this post was "This is why I prefer BoA gear" and i can understand, that you want matching Gear. On the Transmog-Market though a unique model it's typically worth a lot and one of the guidelines which can help you determine the price of an item. Let's take a look at the Screenshot and list the Pieces with their average sell price from The Undermine Journal.

The next thing that increases the transmog value of an items is, how much skin is showing. The less Armor there is, the more Gold you're going to get. This is not a theory I have. Below you see the Glorious, Lofty and Vanguard Sets, these three sets share the same model with just different coloring and are some of the most skin-showing sets in the game as you probably can see. They are also some of the most expensive Items you'll find on your auction house.
The last thing that adds to the transmog value, which is sadly kind of unpredictable, is the recognition of a piece. There are a lot of pieces that share the same model, but one will sell for a lot more than the other. This has to do with guides and sharing information. Most people don't search for same-looking items on the web they just see an piece somewhere, maybe in a Guide or on some Player ingame, and then just buy the exact item. An example for this is the Warleader's Breastplate, compared to  the Adamantite Breastplate. They have the same model and coloring but the first one goes for an average of 776G and the second one for 250G. This probably comes from the fact that most people just buy the complete Warleader's-set and don't even know about the Adamantite item since there isn't a complete set with the name.

What this means overall is, if you have and item that has a unique look and/or shows a lot of skin you can probably sell that as Transmog. The only factor that could eliminate that Transmog value is the recognition of the Piece, but this could also work the other way around and even boost the value.

Ohh and the rarity of the item. If the item is too easily available the price will never go up.

So the easiest way to determine, the value, is by letting the market decide and just use the Average prices. If you use Tradeskillmaster you can make your life a lot easier and get these average prices on your tool-tips. This is how it's done:

Gold Guide | Farming Gnomeregan - 6,400G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you if you're thinking about farming Gnomeregan for Gold. The Instanceportal is Located in western Dun Morogh, but as a horde player you can use the teleporter located in Grom'gol. This porter makes the Instance really great to farm for Horde players, because you also get ported back there once you leave and have your mailbox and vendor right there. The alliance has to go into Gnomeregan, down the elevator and then take a left, once they have the choice, to find the instance portal. Inside we do, what no low level group should do. We take the parachute from the box located straight in front of the entrance, pull one of the Troggs, only the uninfected work for this, and jump down. On the bottom we pull the Viscous Fallout which is just circling behind us and then run straight across into the gnome tunnel. Here I jump up and down and taunt in between to get the mobs on both levels. At the circle part you take a right, because the way down is on ...

Gold Guide | Farming Shadowfang Keep - 7,500G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you if you're thinking about farming Shadowfang Keep for Gold. The Instance is Located in southern Silverpine Forest and has a huge Storyline to it, which horde players can follow before even entering the Instance with Quest in the Zone. Sadly this also means, that we're affected by boring speeches that only slow us down. On the good side, the route I'm taking only contains one of the speeches. We start the Instance in a room full of Quest and Story NPC's. You then head into the right doorway and pull all the mobs up until the boss. Kill all the Trash before you go near the Boss. Once the Boss is dead the first Storypoint is reached and the Instance to this point fills with NPC's and the Trash will despawn. If you haven't looted/killed them yet - bad luck. Now we have to wait for one of the NPC's to open the door, which takes about 30seconds. This time can be used perfectly to disenchant Items from previous runs. After the doo...

Gold Guide | Runecloth Shuffle

Image
I love simple math, as you can tell from the calculations below. So i wanted to make this Guide, because I had so much Runecloth from my BWL Trash | Gold Guide  and I didn't wanted to flood the market with all the cloth and also thought I could make more money. You can see the three best Methods I found during my research below and all the calculations, which contain average prices from theunderminejournal . For all three methods you will be needing Tailoring and Enchanting. I disenchanted 100 of all the Gear pieces below to get an average. All Gear made is learned from the Trainer. Runecloth Belt - Runecloth into Dream Dust This is  the cheapest way to convert Runecloth into Dream Dust. With the Average prices, this guide doesn't make any gold. This Shuffle is profitable if the prices for Runecloth and Dream Dust are: 4Stacks of Runecloth < 1 Stack of Dream Dust Turn all lesser eternal essences into greater ones; nobody buys lesser ones. Created with: ...

Gold Guide | Farming Maraudon - 14,600G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you, if you're thinking about farming Maraudon for Gold. The Instance is located in western Desolace inside a huge Centaur-shaped mountain. There are three entrances to the Dungeon, one for each part. You go Inside the purple crystal part of the cave, jump of the bridge and do a 180°. Now you stand in front of a portal, which will bring you close to the end of the Instance and you can head back out. There are two paths you can take, but after testing both for 10 runs, I found that the southern one yields better results. The lower routes, the wicked grotto, has a lot more humanoid mobs, which drop a lot more Transmog items. The upper route, the Foulespore Cavern, has a lot more herbal creatures, which drop all sorts of herbs. The herbs of course sell a lot faster than Transmog, but I don't mind that extra few days for a lot more gold. One of the more expensive and faster selling sets to look out for, is the Ghostwalker-Set, of which nearly every pie...

TYDKaWoW #004 | The Scarlet Monastery was a single Instance

Image
Scarlet Commander Mograine. (©World of Warcraft Trading Card Game) We all still know, how the four scarlet Instances looked, back before Mist of Pandaria. We had the Graveyard, Armory, Cathedral and the Library. Each only featuring one to three Bosses, which at the time of it's release was quite a low amount in comparison. With the revamp the Graveyard and Cathedral were combined into the Monastery and the Armory and Library in the Scarlet halls, both having three Bosses. But this actually wasn't the first revamp. During the WoW Alpha, the Scarlet Monastery was one dungeon, combining all the four Dungeons we got during Vanilla. But was changed before release. Dungeon Map for the original single dungeon layout. Starting in the Halls of Visitors, which now holds the Instanceportals and some non-elite mobs, leading into the Garden part, where old Houndmaster Loksey was located. Then you'd encounter Herod in his usual Hall of Heros, which featured a few more statues and a...
