World of Warcraft : Preparing for 3.1

We don’t know when, but we do know what. Expansion 3.1 is coming. If you want to take a sneak peek, the public test realm (PTR) is available. In the meantime one can run Naxx once more; take on Malygos one more time and attack the Obsidian Sanctum, yet again. Or one can utilize the excess time to prepare for the coming expansion. Are there certain items that are worth stockpiling? Are there things that should go on the auction house now, before 3.1 shunts them to the clearance rack? How will the changes in 3.1 impact the value of items in your inventory? Now that you’ve run every dungeon, done every heroic and achievements are getting a bit stale, what items should you focus on farming?

Of course gold is the ultimate fungible commodity. Probably one of the best things you can farm is gold. So start doing those lucrative dailies. There’s a lot of new stuff coming in 3.1 and you’ll need a bit of jingle in your pocket if you want to buy the hottest items right away. As with every expansion, prices will soar for whatever is considered the latest and greatest. And all this new equipment will take gems and enchants. Then there’re glyphs for dual specs. You’ll want to have a reserve of gold on hand when 3.1 goes live and gold doesn’t take up bank space.
