Stocking up salvage crates for Transmog

[Deleted]

I'm at 25k+ spread over 11 chars... :-/

[Farath]

I just decided to make guild banks and use them to store things. Rather than have to open thousands of them when the wardrobe comes into play. Still have to mail them to appropriate characters and use them etc, but it'll save time.

[Deafyx]

Nearly 5k saved up, just hoping I do not get burned on saving them like I did with the MoP BoA Rep tokens when they lost their gold value. Hopefully they actually announce if they do this before Legion.

[Serissa]

I also suspect/speculate the crates will get a stealth nerf, containing only trash.

I see no reason tbh. What's the difference if you open 500 crates now or in 4+ months?

I prefer to open these things now. You need only one item with a certain look to get the appearance in the wardrobe, and I have plenty of low level alts with large bags to store interesting items (1-3 for each armour type) thanks to connected servers. Any duplicates or looks I don't care about get vendored. Also I plan to level some of these alts, and such use some of the blue items dropping from the crates right away in slots which are not filled with heirlooms.

I also don't have enough space on my level 100 characters to stockpile crates, since most of them already have an extensive collection of items from leveling, instances, and transmog/mount runs.

I guess I'm inadvertently doing this because I've been too lazy to do anything other than log on, do their tables and log out

Anyone got me beat? I started hoarding on December 10.

Could you please tell me which add on allows you to display how many objects you currently have on all your characters ?

Thanks !

I've been saving for a while, but I'm running out of bagspace so might have to open a few soon (atleast on my main).

Not sure but you might have a problem. Not only personally but with bagspace as well. :P

However - yes, this could be quite a goldmine for you if you sell those transmogs in the AH as well. But my OCD will not let me have more than 20 of those Crates in my bags. I cannot. It makes me already sick, that my bank is full of sets/weapons I have lying around until the Legion Prepatch comes out.

Pretty sure it's just BagBrother - which comes with Bagnon. I could be wrong but I sure as hell couldn't live without it.

This one is Altoholic.

Also for anyone slightly interested, I use ArkInventory and made a rule to hide the Salvage Crates from my bags, then I use a macro similar to this on all my toons.

#showtooltip Hearthstone
/use [btn:2]Garrison Hearthstone
/use The Innkeeper's Daughter
/use Hearthstone
/tar Kyra G
/din Big Crate

Kyra Goldhands is the lady banker in my Alliance toons Storehouse and /din Big Crate is an addon called Dumpster that dumps all of my crates into my bank for me when the Bank window is up. This way I dont have to look at the crates or think about them, I just do my garrison chores and when I'm done I interact with the banker lady, hit my garrison hearthstone macro and it banks my crates for me.

How sour will you guys be when at 7.0.1, salvage crates become vendorable grey items?

[Fabinas]

I also suspect/speculate the crates will get a stealth nerf, containing only trash. I'd open them now and vendor most stuff, keep the items i want for mog on mail, like suggested previously, and shard the class specific armor now except a full set.

It's all in the light of nerfing the gold income from garrisons, come expansion pre-patch.

While i more or less agree, is that speculation or alpha info?

[Damajin]

I've got 9 guild tabs full of items across 2 guild banks atm, so in order to stem the flow I scrapped my scrapyards on my 12 characters on connected realms because that's enough items to handle, anything I miss is like 1 days worth of running old content anyway so I don't care. I'd rather pile up extra Alch Catalysts each day on 12 guys to make more vendor trinkets than struggle to accomodate all the rest of my stuff in my gbanks and personal banks plus Crate items.

[Sanguinezor]

I just open all of mine.

The epics that drop still sell for quite a bit.
Rather take the income from it than it becoming useless in Legion.

I highly doubt that they will nerf salvage yard as it is the only place to get certain transmog items that have been removed from game.

But GL to all your hoarders and all your openings.
I only need 1 transmog set and that is my Full CM set

Not sour at all as long as they state that ahead of time. I would just open them all the night before.

If they didn't warn us, I'd be a well salted lemon.

I made a bank toon with guild bank to store all the boe's while holding all the bop's, simply because Blizzard usually nerf's everything to the ground with pre-patch/new expansion.

This. Exactly what im doing - too worried about a stealth nerf !!

[Tuesdays]

I should do the same, also I guess the herbs/ores will go for more now when people actually want them, instead in a prepatch when everyone is trying to sell all their shit.

I think the herbs and ore will go better now, especially on weekends, rather then when everyone is trying to sell off, to make room; however you could always benefit buying super low, and selling for profit. I've made 10's of thousands of gold buying dirt cheap and reselling at a reasonable price. You can also deflate the market, buy out competition, and reenter at a profit, but as time goes on this becomes more of a gamble.

[Tuesdays]

I opened all mine last night, had a total of 6000 crates. The time it took to open all of them and sort the stuff inside is not worth it by any stretch. I will never save that many again. Now I feel even worse for those that have saved more then I did. I wish you all the best of luck and that you don't go crazy when you open them.

Tip: Crate opening scale with haste, so use BL/TW/Berserking and similar effects on cooldown.

Any luck with Gutrender?

[Narbootz]

Your best bet would be getting an auction addon that you can scan your server with then scrolling over them will give you an idea.

You have to remember that most of the playerbase doesnt come to fansites for information so many dont know about the wardrobe yet. My assumption is that after WoD launch there will be a huge surge of people buying greens so even the ones not worth a lot now may be worth banking.
