Darkmoon Deck Experiment: The Beginning

So I'm a little bored today, and I have a whole lot of uncommon quality inks of the lower ranks. I've already got several of each offhand made from them, so I thought instead I'd try a little experiment.

Because of Argo (@EpicPennyPouch on Twitter), I already used a Swords Deck to get some decent looking leather shoulders for my rogue. (See Argo's post here.) The low-level decks themselves don't move particularly well on my server, and I don't have a lot of luck in the mog market yet, so this is a total "just for fun" experiment. I'm making all the low-level decks, trading them in for the gear, and posting that on the AH. There aren't a lot of options at really low levels for transmog -- at least, not options I like -- but at least a few of these items aren't hideous. I won't be able to track the ink costs well because these have just been sitting in my bags for a while; we'll just see how sales go.

Starting at the bottom, I made 29 Mysterious Tarot cards, and got 9 Aces, 12 Twos, and 8 Threes -- 8 Rogues Decks overall, plus some extra cards. Here's what I'm going to do with them:


I've posted the gear at 100g to start with. We'll see where it goes, shall we?

My WoW client just crashed but I'm going to do this with more of the decks and will update this post with the initial information, then make a new post later with any sales or lack thereof.

UPDATE: Within three hours, I sold one of the Darkmoon Vests and the Rogues Deck. Whee! I'm leveling my mage to try to get rid of some of this cloth I have sitting around (she's my tailor) but I will continue with this later.

  1. Try also selling pendants and necklaces from the Mages Deck. There are not many choices for that slot on low levels and no heirloom option.

  2. Oh yeah, definitely doing those -- but when WoW crashed I got annoyed so I'm going to level my mage for a bit and come back to it :) Thanks!

  3. An experiment to test if people are looking up the gear they find on the AH before they buy? I'd put 10k gold on the buyers buying the gear before the deck.

    Also if you're lazy like me and dont want to copy paste Argo's link just click here.

    1. Mostly an experiment to see if I can get any sales from it at all.

    1. Yup. I'm going to get one of the daggers for my rogue and look at the others, and consider whether they're better for mogging or stats or what. I'll update this as I go.

  5. dagger hides landslide iirc so might be popular for transmogg, I hate landslide!
