Hey everyone! I'm excited to announce the release of our latest podcast episode featuring an amazing guest, Jeremy Hossler. In this episode, we had a thought-provoking conversation about various topics, and I wanted to share my three biggest takeaways with you all.Firstly, one of the things that really stood out to me was the importance of engaging in meaningful conversations. Jeremy emphasized the need to listen and truly understand different perspectives, even if they differ from our own. It's not about winning or proving someone wrong, but rather about fostering a genuine exchange of ideas. I found this to be a refreshing reminder in a time when debates often turn into heated arguments.Secondly, Jeremy shared his passion for helping others and their desire to become a coach someday. He spoke about the joy they find in supporting and guiding others towards success. This resonated with me because it highlighted the power of mentorship and the impact it can have on individuals and their businesses. It reminded me of the importance of lifting each other up and sharing our knowledge and experiences for the greater good.Lastly, the episode touched on the challenges of offering help to those who are resistant or unwilling to make changes. Our guest expressed their frustration with individuals who seek guidance but are quick to make excuses or resist taking action. This reminded me of the importance of being open-minded and willing to step out of our comfort zones in order to grow and succeed. Sometimes, we need to trust the advice and guidance of those who have already achieved what we aspire to achieve.Overall, this episode was filled with valuable insights and perspectives. It reminded me of the power of meaningful conversations, the joy of helping others, and the importance of being open to change. I highly recommend giving it a listen and I'm confident you'll take away something valuable too.As always, thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our podcast community.

One of the downsides of working near downtown Nashville is the daily sounds of construction. They've been working on a 16-story building next door to our office for nearly a year. But yesterday, the banging and clanging we heard all day went silent. The city had issued a stop work order for the latest Nashville high-rise. The forced stoppage was the result of an accident the day before. Fortunately, no one was injured, but one lane of a city street had collapsed. And it's the street just outside our parking garage...

Sometimes paperwork is just paper. A contractor submitted three bids for a contract to remove medical waste at facilities operated by the Health and Human Services. Only the middle of the three bids included an attachment. When it won the contract on the third bid, the company figured, the terms in the attachment applied. The government disagreed.

A listener asked me to take a closer look at the crash of a Lear jet in 1999 that was carrying golfer Payne Stewart so here we are. Of all the crashes we've looked at this has to be one of the more frustrating and needs quite a bit of sleuthing. The main reason is the NTSB still has not published a final report and probably never will. The basic facts are not in dispute – it was a case of a plane decompression at high altitude. But how it happened is another matter. So let's try and dig deep and discover what led to the death of one of the best known sportsmen in the United States. The basic story goes like this. On October 25, 1999 a Learjet 35 registration N47BA, operated by Sunjet Aviation based in Sanford, Florida departed Orlando, Florida, for Dallas, Texas, at around 0920 eastern daylight time (EDT). Radio contact with the flight was lost north of Gainesville, after air traffic control (ATC) cleared the airplane to flight level (FL) 390. The learjet was then intercepted by several U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard aircraft as it headed in a north west direction. The military pilots flew close enough to see that the windshields of the Learjet were frosted or covered with condensation. Later the airplane engines began spooling down, controlled flight was not possible, and the learjet stalled and spiralled to the ground, impacting an open field between the towns of Mila and Aberdeen in South Dakota just before 12h15 central daylight time on October 25th 1999. The NTSB scrutinised the maintenance logs and found a snag reported in February 1998 that the cabin occasionally would not hold pressure at low altitudes. Maintenance checked this on the ground but could not replicate the problem, so it wasn't fixed. IN May 1999 Sunjet maintenance personnel were checked out as part of the Phase A1-6 inspection, which included pressurization system checks. All seemed fine once more. But it wasn't. A Sunjet Aviation pilot reported to Safety Board investigators that a month later, July 22, 1999 during a flight in the very same Learjet, the pressurization system would not maintain a full pressure differential and that later the cabin altitude “started climbing well past 2,000 feet per minute” he said. When confronted by the NTSB, the Sunjet Aviation Chief pilot denied this, saying that he hadn't noticed any differential. However, a July 23, 1999, Work Order discrepancy sheet 5895 noted the following: “Discrepancy: Pressurization check and operation of system.”

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. In this episode, Torlando talks about, work orders. He addresses that work orders serve as the paper trail within an organization, defining what needs to be done, by when, and for how much. It standardizes workflow and creates a quick and easy process for scheduling, assigning, and tracking work, as well as documenting resources and tracking performance. Many industries that provide service and maintenance rely on work order management to sustain their business. Watch the episode on PCA Overdrive PCA Overdrive is free for members. Not a member?

No-one in the advertising supply chain is immune to the challenge of how to work in the post-Covid world. NAB's Thomas Dobson, Mindshare's outgoing CEO Katie Rigg Smith and Foxtel Media CEO Mark Frain have had to manage this New Work Order. Is it “in the room, not Zoom”? Full flexibility? A mixture of both? Rigg Smith says the pandemic created an expectation that everyone was at their computer, working, morning till night. “You don't build trust over email,” she says. Frain says half the workforce came back from the summer holidays exhausted from Covid isolation or illness. Likewise, remote working isn't easy on culture. “The old adage was, ‘get in your chair and start learning the job',” he says. “Pretty hard if you're sitting in your living room”. NAB's Thomas Dobson says future workplaces will come down to trust. “You underestimate how much trust is there, especially when you're talking about millions of dollars' worth of media investment that has to pay off.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode Number 417, And It's About Winning Tactics For Contractor Paperwork You started your contracting company to have fun, be your own boss and do the work you love. Now you are overwhelmed with paperwork, and the fun is gone! One of the biggest struggles construction business owners deal with is the overwhelming amount of paper they have to organize as part of their everyday tasks. Invoices, receipts, bills, contracts, client records, pay applications, insurances, licenses - are just among the few in the seem to be never-ending "etc." Keeping essential documents is necessary. Most contractors go from one extreme to the other. One extreme is saving everything for decades, and the other is tossing everything out. What to save? What to toss out? At Fast Easy Accounting, we no longer need to print and save every document in file folders and keep adding new file cabinets. Our paperwork processes ensure your happiness and peace of mind knowing that your papers can be retrieved electronically at any time in the future. Here are my Paperwork Tips: Save your receipts If you have it in paper, get a file box and toss in all the gas, food, miscellaneous receipts paid by credit card. Make a note on the receipt. You have the receipt for backup. I remember a story where someone needed to prove where they were. Charges on the credit card statement weren't enough. Make individual file folders For your state taxes, quarterly payroll reports, W-2's, 1099's. Other helpful folders are for your Bond, Liability Insurance, Worker's Comp Insurance, Tools, Office Equipment, and Cell Phones. All the statements you may need to reference over and over again and Receipts with extended warranties. Print a copy of the contract with your client An electronic signature is fantastic. Use a service that will time and date stamp in case of a dispute or an issue arises. If all goes well, then The Signed Contract is just another piece of paper. I have heard stories of customers altering the contract, and the contractor did not double-check. Magically things happen with software. Be sure what the client signs are the exact copy of the agreement you sent them and expected to be signed. Take credit cards Use multiple services if that is what is available. If you use a service to send your contracts for signature and have a Merchant Services feature, sign up for it. Everything that happens seamlessly is the best. Approval Now + Authorization of Payment means you have real money (their money) to start the job. OPM (using Other Peoples Money – meaning you are using the client's money to start, continue and finish the job). Build in the Merchant Services Fee into your pricing. Cost of doing business. Many contractors lost money on Groupon Coupons as customers only do the One or Two Rooms as was prepaid on the coupon. (Example Carpet Cleaning – Drywall Patching) Use an invoice built on Excel Word is pretty and is needed for all the descriptions. But to properly get the money you expect to be paid, you need a form that adds up the money. Do not call all the payments a Job Deposit from beginning to end. Call it a Statement, Progress Invoice; once work is approved, it is no longer an Estimate or a Work Order. If you are in a sales tax state (Washington State) and need to collect sales tax, add sales tax to every invoice. Customers have selective memory. Be sure to use "Plus Applicable Sales Tax" on the Estimate, Contact, and future billings. If sales tax increases, you need to be able to pass the increases on to the customer. Identify which job it is Contractors who are doing remodel projects like to have job costing. To achieve primary job costing reports, the accounting software needs to know what job the expenses should apply to. Many contractors will create a single file folder and drop all of the individual receipts in it. This is handy if they have outsourced their bookkeeping and needed to give their bookkeeping to others to enter into accounting software (QuickBooks). A straightforward way to add more detail for bookkeeping is to have accounts with the primary supplier. The person at the counter will ask you if you have a PO (Purchase Order). Purchase Order does not need to be complicated. Job Name and Job Address. Why both name and address? Because the name that pays the bill may not be the same as the nickname that you know your client as. Examples: Bob, Bobby, Rob, Robby, Robert or Bill, Billy, Will, William may be the same person to you but not to the bank or credit card company. Always exciting when Spouse, Family member, or good friend helps pay your invoice. From the Accounting side, next week, next month, next year, will you remember which job the individual receipts are tied to? Keep good records For larger projects – use a file folder for each invoice, especially if you are billing Time & Material or Cost Plus. Customers will randomly want to confirm the cost of some or all of the items. Does your customer want copies of all receipts? Does your customer want to nitpick the price of each 2x4, cost of temp, service, and every dump fee? Does your customer agree verbally to Change Orders but give excuses when asked to confirm changes on paper or by email? Does your customer hide when you ask for payment? Conclusion: Remember, if you are sick and tired of doing administrative tasks such as handling your documents, we are here to remove your paperwork frustrations. Although a 100% paperless office is not the complete answer, we can certainly help you reduce most of it. In most cases, we can help contractors like you eliminate over 50% of your paperwork; the related savings and increased production more than pays for our services.

What was going to be an interview with Chris Knight of software firm, CKX, about high-tech solutions for SMEs, actually turned out to be conversation on how we can all adapt better to the new reality of working remotely by being a bit more like those that have been doing it like that forever.Really interesting on the mental and physical health aspects of going from a commute and office space to wherever you can fit a laptop and a not-so-comfy chair, and how we can all stay sane in a world that might never be the same again.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0233 And It Will Be About Contractors Struggle To Save Paperwork Needed For Taxes Tax Time! Corporate Income Tax Returns are due to the IRS by September 15th for S-Corp and LLC’s filing as an S-Corp Other types of corporations may be in a fiscal year with varied due dates. The only exception is any emergency extensions granted due to hurricanes (Harvey) or others. Personal Income Tax Returns are due to the IRS by October 15th which falls on the weekend and extended to Monday, October 16th. Keeping Paper Documents is necessary. Most contractors go from one extreme to the other. One extreme is saving everything for decades, and the other is tossing everything out. What To Save? What To Toss Out? We no longer need to print and save every document in file folders and keep adding new file cabinets. Happiness is every document that can be retrieved electronically at any time in the future. Sharie's Seven Paper Tips... Sharie’s Paper Tip 101 Save your receipts. If you have it in paper Get a file box and toss in all the gas, food, misc receipts paid by credit card. Make a note on the receipt. You have the receipt for backup. I remember a story where someone needed to prove where they were. Charges on the credit card statement weren't enough. Sharie’s Paper Tip 201 Make individual file folders for your state taxes, quarterly payroll reports, W-2’s, 1099’s. Other helpful folders are for your Bond, Liability Insurance, Worker’s Comp Insurance, Tools, Office Equipment and Cell Phones. All the statements you may need to reference over and over again and Receipts with extended warranties. Sharie’s Paper Tip 301 Print a copy of the Contract with your client (electronic signatures is fantastic) use a service that will time and date stamp in case you have an issues. Contracts are great in case of dispute. If all goes well, then The Signed Contract is just another piece of paper. I have heard stories of customers altering the contract, and the contractor did not double check. Magically things happen with software. Be sure what the client signs are the same copy of the contract you sent them and expected to be signed. Sharie’s Paper Tip 401 Take credit cards. Use multiple services if that is what is available. If you use a service to send your contracts for signature and they have a Merchant Services; then sign up for it. Everything that happens seamlessly is the best. Approval Now + Authorization of Payment means you have real money (their money) to start the job. OPM (means using Other Peoples Money – meaning you are using the Client’s money to start, continue and finish the job). Build in the Merchant Services Fee into your pricing. Cost of doing business. Many contractors lost money on Groupon Coupons as customers only would do the One or Two Rooms as was prepaid on the coupon. (Example Carpet Cleaning – Drywall Patching) Sharie’s Paper Tip 501 Use an invoice built on Excel. Word is pretty and is needed for all the descriptions. But to properly get the money, you expect to be paid Contractors need a form that adds up the money. Do not call all the payments a Job Deposit all the way from beginning to end. Call it a Statement, Progress Invoice, once work is approved it is no longer an Estimate or a Work Order. If you are in a sales tax state (Washington State) and need to collect sales tax; then be sure to add sales tax to every invoice. Customers have selective memory. Be sure to use “Plus Applicable Sales Tax” on the Estimate, Contact and all future billings. If sales tax increases you need to be able to pass the increases on to the customer. Sharie’s Tip 601 Contractors who are doing remodel projects like to have job costing. To achieve basic job costing reports the accounting software needs to know what job the expenses should apply to. Many contractors will create a single file folder and drop all of the individual receipts in it. This is handy if they have outsourced their bookkeeping and needed to give their bookkeeping to others to enter into an accounting software (QuickBooks) One simple way to add more detail for bookkeeping is to have accounts with the primary supplier. The person at the counter will ask you if you have a PO (Purchase Order). Purchase Order does not need to be complicated. Job Name and Job Address. Why both name and address? Because the name that pays the bill may not be the same as the Nick Name that you know your client as. Examples: Bob, Bobby, Rob, Robby, Robert or Bill, Billy, Will, William may be the same person to you but not to the bank, credit card company. Always exciting when Spouse, Family member or good friend helps pay your invoice. From Accounting side; next week, next month, next year will you remember which job the individual receipts are tied to? Sharie’s Tip 701 For larger projects – file folder for each invoice especially if you are billing Time & Material or Cost Plus. Keep good records; customers will randomly want to confirm the cost of some or all of the items. Does your customer want copies of all receipts? Does your customer want to nit pick the price of each 2x4, cost of temp? Service and every dump fee? Does your customer Agree Verbally To Change Orders but give excuses when asked to confirm changes on paper or by email? Does your customer hide when you ask for payment?

The Penguins Of Madagascar 02x27 - Work Order
The Penguins Of Madagascar 02x27 - Work Order
After getting a baseline for professions in Warlords of Draenor last week, I'm back just in the very nick of time this week to talk about what to expect in this first week of raiding in Highmaul. I talk in depth about Enchanting, Alchemy, Cooking, Crafted Epic Gear, and Darkmoon Trinkets - all after covering the big news on the dust buffs, the mine nerfs, and the updating of wowuction to include info on all the new professions.I also give a preview of content to come later this month for the show, including a spreadsheet I've been ironing out that's pre-loaded with all the stuff we can make with professions in Warlords of Draenor. Full show notes are, of course, available after the break - Enjoy!!Episode 31 of Late Nite With Stede - Show NotesIntroGood evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Episode 31 of the Late Nite With Stede Goldmaking Podcast. I’m your host, Stede Bonnet - and I want to thank you for listening. Before we launch into the opening of Highmaul this week, I wanna take a minute to let you know that you can find more Late Nite With Stede on my website - www.LNWS.net - you can also find the show on Stitcher & on iTunes - so if you like the show, be sure to subscribe. Alright, today is Monday, December 1st.===PODCAST NEWS===- On the last episode, I spent some time talking about how WoD was shaking out so far. It seems like it was weeks ago in terms of how much has happened since then. I’ve had a number of folks asking me what they should be making in order to make gold. The category pages on The Undermine Journal have yet to be updated, and given the variable nature of cooldown yields on toons - and via work orders - it’s a bit difficult to accurately calculate costs.Not that it’s a big problem at this point since most craftables that use soulbound cooldown reagents are bringing rain on the Auction House, but it’s one of those structural sticking points that may cause TUJ to take awhile in updating its information. Not to mention that Erorus, the creator of TUJ, now works at Wowhead and is probably pretty busy.Back on topic about the preview of tonight’s topic - I’ll be talking about what you need to know about making stuff now - the first week of raids - and how I think the rest of December is going to shake out in terms of profession markets.===WoW NEWS===We had a few big changes in game this week. Most notably the buff to disenchanting yields for dust. It seems like 4 times out of 5, rare items - that’s blues - will now DE into a bunch of dust - like 6-10 or so. This is causing a major correction in the dust and shard markets as shards become less common and therefore, more expensive - and dust settles down to values where it actually makes sense to start hitting your work orders.Which, a lot of you would think means cheaper crystals - since the work orders are now flowing once again. And you’d be right on the money - there are a lot more crystals sitting under 600g on my server than there were before this change. And that’s a market I’ll talk more about a bit later in the show.We also had a nerf to the yield rate from farming ore nodes in your garrison’s mine. Regular nodes give 2 ore, and rich ones give 4 - sometimes 5. The result was that - where I used to be running a surplus of ore on my toon with Blacksmithing & Jewelcrafting, using a L2 mine, I’m now running a slight deficit.It seems like a small tuning change, but imagine how that reverberates over tens of thousands of toons on a server. This is a correction that may take a bit longer to play out. And I think Blizzard was smart not to use the heavy hand here, because there are other factors that will be coming into play that will naturally nerf the amount of ore on the AH - which I will talk about a bit later.Last bit of news for this past week was that most all of the crafted gear got a 5 ilvl boost to the 3rd upgrade stage - which should help keep them competitive. Remember that your raid drops have fixed secondary stats, and may not be very useful for some specs.===Goldmaking NEWS===Wowuction has updated the profession pages on its site and the CSV feeds that some of you may be using in your spreadsheets are now correctly populating the item names for the crafted gear. This makes life so much easier for spreadsheeters and I want to give a tip of the hat to the wowuction folks on a job well done in a short amount of time.Myself, I’ve made a spreadsheet for all of the WoD crafts for every profession - because I have every profession. It’s given me a distinct advantage. Every single one of you has asked yourself this past week, “Okay, I have 100 soulbound cooldown mats - what do I make to get gold?” I know I ask myself that about 10x a day. And my SS is there to guide me. I know not everybody has Excel or likes SS’s though - so check out wowuction if you wanna dig around without having to ascend the the spires of geekdom that is Spreadsheeting the WoW AH. I also know that not everyone who likes using Spreadsheets is good at making them. I wanna share this with you guys, but I want it to be stable. And right now, it’s not. The reason I want it stable is because I don’t enjoy the tech support aspect of releasing spreadsheets. That’s why I built and released the Sandbox awhile back - to make it easier to make your own, so that I wasn’t answering questions instead of writing show notes :)I realize a lot of folks will be waiting on this, so my plan is to have it released by the end of the year.===AUDIOBLOG===This hands off nicely into a segment I want to start doing each show that’s more about my experience in the game. As you may know, I do more than make gold in-game. I lead a casual raid, I’m an officer in my guild, I’m looking to put together a Challenge Mode group in a month or so, and I’m slowly gearing up for PvP. I’m not a pro at any of it, but I hold my own and have fun.This week, I managed to get my core six to Garrison level 2 - that’s my main at L100, one alts at L98, and four more alts at L96, now. The L2 Profession Buildings are a huge help, as they give me more wiggle room for maintaining my alts.Now, 2 of my alts are Blacksmiths, and 2 more have The Forge on their Garrison. And yet somehow, none of those 4 guys had a Blacksmithing Follower. So this week, I ran out to Frostfire Ridge real quick and snagged one for each of them after a short quest line. I’m told it’s not that easy for you Alliance listeners, and I’ll try to follow up on that - but it’s important to be levelling your followers on your alts because once they’re at 100, they’re good for 10-12 Work Order mats a day instead of just 6.Blacksmithing is a priority for me because this week I decked out my main (which is my rogue) with a crafted cape, a Darkmoon Trinket, and a crafted Mainhand dagger - which I’d like to upgrade to max level just as soon as I can.At the same time that I’m managing all this, I’m also trying to help guildmates. Some are Jewelcrafters who really want top notch enchants, others are Engineers who really want some plate gear. So I’m trying to make trades when I can to help folks out there. Then I’ve some who’ve seen just how insanely melee-heavy my raid group is shaping up to be and have voluntarily re-rolled either ranged or healing classes - and I’m trying to help them too.So crafted gear is a bit more than make it and post it for me - but it’s been fun, and I still have plenty of stuff to sell. I started the expansion with about 275k gold liquid, after rerolling on the new server over the summer and getting my alts to L90 with maxed professions. Now I’m sitting just over 475k - up about 200k from launch.Which is pretty good when I think about how much I’ve sunk into blueprints and upgrades and stuff - as well as the gold I’ve missed by using a handful of crafts for myself. With raids opening this week, I expect that train to keep on rolling.A week ago, I made a guild event to hit Molten Core and we had a solid 10 folks show up and Queue, but I guess we weren’t the right classes because we sat in Q for 90 minutes before I ended up calling it. Over the weekend, I tried again, but made us a premade group using the LFG tool and barked it in Trade and on OpenRaid - we filled in 20 minutes and the Q popped after 10 minutes - which was really not too bad.I also got assigned as the RL in there, so I spent most of my time marking targets and herding folks around while my GM handled banning the inevitable trolls from vent while Zerohour rallied the group to votekick them. The funny part on that guy was that he got kicked from vent and the instance, but was still in the raid group for a few minutes while I fumbled through console commands to kick him while he wasn’t actually on my instance frames.Moral of the story - and this is what I told the guy - don’t troll the RL’s vent and expect to stay in group. So after a couple hours, we cleared the raid, I got personally thanked for leading by a handful of folks, which was nice, grabbed that ridiculous helm, which was quickly mogged back to my Gold CM gear from the last expansion, and snagged the mount. As I left the instance, I gave myself a pat on the back for navigating the Queue and the group as well as anyone could expect, and vowed never again to return to - close your ears kids - such a colossal clusterfuck just to have a chance at looting the pet.No, for that amount of time, I’ll buy it off the AH. That’s why we make gold, ladies and gents - to spend it on grindy crap we really want but don’t have time to deal with. Well - I have the time - but the rest of this expansion is just made so much better that I’d rather spend it doing those other things.Which brings me to Ashran - if you guys can just bear with my ranting for another minute or two. Ashran was a steamroll at launch so Blizzard added in some kind of load-balancing. I thought - this was gonna be like Tol Barad - where you’d just get put in a Queue for 10-15 minutes, max, until the other team got enough folks that you could get in without it being unbalanced. No, Ashran is a train wreck where folks can sit in Queue for an hour or 2 and never get in. I’ve no idea what the heck happened because Blizzard can do a better job than this - I know - I’ve seen them do it - ironically, in the most universally reviled expansion, the World PvP zone Q system was better than this. And that leaves me as a sad panda - because pandas didn’t have a PvP zone - which is effectively where I’m at now. And I loved Tol Barad, and was really excited for Ashran. I know they’re still working on it - and I just hope they listen and get it sorted soon. Blizzard has made a bunch of really awkward steps since launch, but I can say they’re busting their asses to get it right and make it fun.Until then - no Ashran for me. And those are my personal stars this week - let’s get to talking about what you guys need to know about making gold this week.TOPIC: Making Gold the First Week of HighmaulLast week we talked about what was happening after launch. This week we turn our focus to the raids that are opening. In a lot of ways, this is like a content patch - with new raids opening up. You want to be stockpiling consumables to get ready for the coming onslaught of demand as millions of players smelt their plowshares and mining picks into swords and charge headlong into Highmaul. My hope is that the content will be challenging.That would help us all as goldmakers, as several professions are focused around crafting gear rather than item enhancements now. Of course, this would mean that LFR - which releases later - would become a relevant part of the gearing path - a fact that Blizzard explicitly stated they wanted to avoid, and a concept that I, as a raider, happen to agree with. But I also want to see craftable epics have some legs, and I know that the first tier of every expansion is usually a doozy.Which is why I’ve to chuckle at the guilds recruiting in Trade chat for “Casual Mythic Raiding”.GearBut let’s talk some more about gear while we’re there. While my first pieces of crafted gear flew off the shelf at 40 to 45k, we’ve fallen into a 15-30k range over the last week. If your trade chat is as warped as mine, you’ve no doubt seen the masses crying foul over these prices and predicting with righteous indignation the coming freefall once raids open.I don’t think that’s gonna happen. As Zerohour said to me - once raids open, folks are gonna start to lose track of their Garrisons and focus on raiding on their mains instead. Just like the farms in MoP - eventually people get bored or find other things to spend their time on and they just - move on.I expect us to soon get to the point where the big money market shifts to the upgrade tokens - and if you’ve listened to the shows I did before launch, then you’ve heard me say this - make base-level items on your toons with the building, but not the profession - and make the tokens on your toons that have the profession.This is another reason why it’s important to get those alts up to L100 - to unlock L3 of your Garrison and be able to build that 3rd Small Building. You’ll notice that the biggest limiting reagent for these upgrade tokens is, as I predicted, the Savage Bloods. With a L100 follower assigned to my L3 Barn, I’m averaging just over 1 per day from trapping. Which isn’t bad; but it isn’t great either.You’re probably gonna want to try to keep up with your alts’ garden and mine - just to build up a stock of Primal Spirits to trade for the bloods. Of course, there’s always the AH, but you have to use your judgement there as to whether or not you can make a profit. This is an entirely new market.In all, I think crafted gear will actually see a boost in the next few weeks - if not necessarily in pricing, then in velocity. Raids should show folks just how unprepared they are and encourage them to seek upgrades wherever they can find them. And no place is more convenient, and guaranteed, than the AH.EnhancementsOf course, with each new piece of gear there’s potential that it will need to be gemmed or enchanted. Jewelcrafting seems to be in a bit of a bad way in terms of gems. Many lesser gems are flooded because they can be crafted until max skill - and the mats are cheap, and most don’t include Taladite Crystals - the soulbound cooldown material. So folks powerlevelling JC to boost their CD mat production on the cheap have really done a number on that market.The greater gems just don’t seem to be moving for me, but I only have the mastery cut. And I may be pricing myself too high. When a lesser gem goes for 50g - tops - and gives +35 to a stat versus a greater gem that give +50 - how much more can we expect folks to pay? Don’t forget that the Sorcerous Air alone jack the cost up by 4-10x of the lessers. On top of that, the Taladite Crystals required are just half of what it’s cost to make a piece of ilvl 640 jewelry.So the tuning on this just feels weirder than seeing Pee-Wee Herman back on TV. And while I’m in that market and hopeful - the reality is that it’s just a way to diversify because all the leftover JCs from MoP are posting a lot of jewelry.And Jewelry is hot. Mainly for healers who are looking for Spirit. We haven’t heard the wailing and gnashing of gums that we had in early Cataclysm over the lack of mp5, but I’m sure Spirit is gonna be in much higher demand once we get into raids.Enchanting is red hot. Folks are damn proud of their ilvl 680 rings and want the best enchants on em. And what good is patiently waiting for your BiS stats to roll on a crafted piece of jewelry if you don’t spend another 20% on the enchant? I’m seeing ring enchants sell like hellacious hotcakes on Christmas in Siberia - the dust buff was just in the nick of time to boost the supply of crystals so I could turn enchanting into my new favorite market - where the main players are the high rollers who aren’t scared to drop 20k on mats in a day and still feel like they’re not hitting it as hard as they should.I’ve yet to sell a weapon enchant, but I’m betting that it’s coming. My advice - stock up on crystals. They may drop in price later but for me, the margins are fat enough to eat it. And if they work like every other enhancement market in the history of this game - the margins will only increase as the competition runs dry of supply.Speaking of supply - I want to address one question I’ve heard while we’re talking about this stuff. What about all the crystals folks will be DE’ing out of raid? What - you mean in like two months when they’re not climbing over each other to blow their entire billfold of DKP on it? I think it’s gonna be awhile before we see that - even longer considering that some groups may opt to use personal loot and I don’t think epics can be DE’d at a buddy’s Garrison. But keep your eyes open.ConsumablesOf course we can’t talk about raids launching now without talking about consumables. Thanks to Blizzard’s tuning, we’re seeing most potions cost more than the lesser flasks. Of course, we also have a bit of a limit on how many greater flasks we can make, but since the Alchemy cooldown material required to make them is NOT soulbound, that restriction is more of a nuisance than a real deterrent.But potions are where I think the money will be. Because meat just isn’t in the kind of supply that’s necessary and Alchemists are used to focusing on flasks for the lion’s share of their profits. Of course int pots take fish, not meat and those prices are in the crapper because fishbots.If you’ve been selling pots, then for Pete’s sake - stop. Wait until raid nights (Tuesday - Thursday in the US) and then gouge all the Johnny-Come-Latelys. Until then, you ought to treat this as any other patch - stockpile now - don’t sell for 100g now what you can sell for 200g tomorrow.And lastly there’s food. Fish feasts are, of course, not profitable - because why? That’s right, because fishbots. They don’t feed a lot of people anyway and the stats are just +75. Raiders with a L3 Garden can probably manage to use the food from their fruit tree to get by in a pinch anyhow. Meat feasts are god-awful expensive and the mats are likely better used for pots. But - if you can manage to find cheap leftovers of other folks levelling their cooking on the AH, and you’re a max lvl cook yourself - then it may be worth having a look at.Otherwise, cooking is dead. The L2 Barn killed you, and exclusively produces +100 stat feasts that feed 30 ppl - the max number for a flex raid. The good news for Goblins is that these are made only via work orders, and as such, there is a daily cap on them. May God have mercy on the raid that hasn’t stockpiled these in advanced for the shrewd goblin will offer none. I’d treat these like the old Cobalt Ore or Huge Emeralds - buy em to stock during off-peak times and then reset just before showtime - they’ll sell - especially once we get a couple weeks into raiding and folks burn through their initial stockpile.TrinketsLast - I wanted to take a minute or two to talk about trinkets. While crafted weapons start at a mere 630 ilvl, trinkets get to 640. Many of these are BiS pre-raid barring some lucky warforged socket drop from heroics. Plus they can be upgraded and have main stats. For casters, who don’t rely as much on weapon damage, I’d expect that these trinkets may even take some priority over crafted weapons. But I’m not a simulations guy, so I won’t swear to it.The base-level trinkets are good and they scale decently with their ilvl compared to others. They’re not BiS overall by a longshot - mostly because they max out at ilvl 670, but that’s not their fault. Of course making these trinkets is easy since we don’t have to wait for the DMF to come to town to do it - so it’s worth keeping an eye on to snatch the occasional cheap card to build decks.Whether these are more important than weapons isn’t entirely the point though - even if they’re not, they’re still gonna be the second slot that gets upgraded (if not the first) for all classes - assuming they bought a base level one. So you scribes out there - just remember - ever DMF trinket you sell now is a potential upgrade sale later.Winding DownThat about wraps up thoughts on crafted gear and consumables going into this week. I’d like to do some in-depth guides to each profession as we move forward, but I’m not yet decided on whether that’s something I’ll just post on the blog or if I’ll do a show on it. The previews were helpful but I think some contemporary advice would be a lot more useful.I also wanna work on that Spreadsheet that I mentioned at the top of the show, too. So I figure I’ve got 2 or 3 more shows left in me before Christmas and then I’ll take a break for a couple weeks and start the 2015 season of Late Nite With Stede. Lots of cool stuff in the Queue to talk about, though - notwithstanding the regular flow of events that gives me more to yak about.===Q&A===Question & AnswerSpecial Thanks:I’d like to give a special thanks to my new listeners and followers on Twitter this week - I don’t wanna embarass you too much, but it’s always great to see fresh faces asking bottom-line questions.OuttroGood luck out there against all those bosses this week. Don’t overdo it, and remember- if you’re not making gold - I’ve got a name for you: Customer.
After talking all about professions and planning your buildings on your Garrison last week, this week I focus on the last minute details you'll need to make your Launch Week a success. Tune in as I talk about the importance of levelling profession alts, and the breakpoints you need to know about to maximize your Cooldowns, and your goldmaking in your first days in Draenor.I realize that this show has a lot of information that I cover in a relatively short amount of time. So, to save you the hand cramps, I'm including my show notes below the break - Enjoy!Episode 29 of Late Nite With Stede - Show NotesIntroGood evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Episode 29 of the Late Nite With Stede Goldmaking Podcast. I’m your host, Stede Bonnet - and I want to thank you for listening. Before begin our last show of Mists of Pandaria, I wanna take a minute to let you know that you can find more Late Nite With Stede on our website - www.LNWS.net - you can also find the show on Stitcher & on iTunes - so if you like the show, be sure to subscribe. Alright, today is Sunday, November 9th===PODCAST NEWS===- Last week we had a quick show that talked about which “extra” profession buildings were best in terms of goldmaking. Most were around the middle of the pack, but there was at least 1 big loser and a few familiar winners. So if you missed that show or you have no idea what I’m talking about - I think it’d be worth your while to go back and check out Episode 28.We’ve covered an awful lot of ground in the last 7 episodes of the show - all the way to a garrisons overview to a deep dive through every single primary profession to ratings and rankings of goldmaking potential for each one and their associated garrison buildings.It’s taken a lot of research and digging - particularly since I did not have any access to the beta. So if you’ve managed to follow me through all of that - lemme just say thanks :)-This week, I’ve got another great show for you guys. A lot of the info I’m gonna talk about has been out there for awhile now - it’s just not the easiest thing in the world to corral it all in one place. But it has been done - on The Consortium Forums, in the General Discussion Forum, my fellow Wind Trader, UtesDad has written a great guide to Garrisons for the Goblin. It complements the information I’ve been going through lately.It’s great timing that this came out just this weekend because it goes along with tonight’s topic perfectly. Because tonight, we’re gonna talk about getting your garrisons setup as quickly and efficiently as possible at launch.===WoW NEWS===No WoW news this week - we’re all locked in tight for Warlords of Draenor.===Goldmaking NEWS===Only thing noteworthy I picked up this week came from Blizzcon. I’d previously thought Spirit only rolled on rings & necklaces. Turns out it can roll on cloaks, too. So I expect Tailors and Leatherworkers to be using or selling those reroll tokens so healers can get their Spirit stats on those crafted cloaks.TOPIC: How to Plan Your Launch WeekendAs I mentioned a few minutes ago, UtesDad has a great guide on The Consortium’s General Discussion forum that I recommend you all take some time to go read. You can find the forums at www.STORMSPIRE.net.Scalable SystemsSo, let’s get started and set the stage. We know that damn near everything worth making in Warlords is gonna require daily cooldown materials. What we’re all worried about is the new cooldown system. In expansions past, alts were able to pop cooldowns without ever having to leave the safety and comfort of their capital cities.As long as you fed your little alts they were happy to get pet once a day and do their job printing gold. In Warlords, they flipped the script on us. You want to grind your professions to max level in Orgrimmar or *god forbid* Stormwind? Fuhgiitabowtit. You can’t even unlock the max cap on professions without going into Draenor and questing. So dust off those alts, get em all levelled to 90, and get some gear on em, because Warlords of Draenor demands that profession alts get Savage.On top of that, the cooldowns on your alts now yield more materials as you level that toon to 100. At level 90, your yield is 4, but at level 100, the yield is 10. So there’s a big difference in how quickly you’re able to craft items and also in terms of how much it’s going to cost you to make the cooldown materials needed to craft an item.In addition to the Scaling Cooldowns on your toon, we also have cooldowns on our Garrison Buildings in the form of Work Orders. You can Queue these up and they tick off once every 4 hours - at the start, they give you 1 extra cooldown material every tick - for a total of 6 extra per day. But, once your building gets to L2, then you can assign a follower to work at the building.If that follower has the corresponding skill for the building - like Blacksmithing for a Forge - he can occasionally net you an extra CD material on one of these Work Order ticks. In addition, as you level the follower to L100, the likelihood of getting that extra CD material goes up. At full tilt, it’s been said that you can snag 20 CD mats a day between your toon and your Garrison Building.BreakpointsSo given all of this, it’s most important to understand where the breakpoints are in these Scalable Systems. Breakpoints may have been removed for Haste, but they’re very much alive in Goldmaking.#1 - Level 90 Bunker BuilderSetting up your Garrison is one of the first things you do after getting through the first zone in Darenor. You’ll be able to build just a single profession building, and you won’t be able to get it past Level 1. But - you will be able to start the clock on the passive generation of Garrison Resources - which will be a very important step. Every building you make on your Garrison costs GR - and you only get so many at a time. You can build the Medium building - the Lumber Mill - which will help you acquire GR faster through Active Play - BUT - you can’t build that until you hit ~L92 and are able to level your Garrison up to L2.With the passive GR generation started, and one of your professions now able to give you 6 more CD mats per day, this becomes your first very important breakpoint in levelling. #2 - Level 92 Second Stage Fort FarmerClose to L92 is when we can expect to unlock the upgrade to a Level 2 Garrison. This allows you to build a 2nd profession building, and a Medium Building - Like a Barn or a Lumber Mill. You still won’t be able to level any of these buildings up to L2, but you will be able to get the extra CD mats from your 2nd profession building. And if you’re building a Barn, you’ll be able to start getting Work Orders done as progress towards unlocking the L3 plans, which currently take 3 weeks to unlock running at full blast from the time you start. Remember - you need an L3 Barn in order to harvest Savage Blood.In addition, at L92, your Garrison unlocks the Mine, allowing you to farm ore every day, regardless of whether you are a miner.#3 - Level 96 Kicking it up a Notch At Level 96, things get interesting. You’re able to start upgrading your profession buildings to L2, which will also allow you to start assigning Followers to those buildings, giving you a chance to snag extra CD mats from your Work Orders. Also, at L96, you unlock the Garden on your Garrison, allowing you to farm herbs every day on your Garrison regardless of whether you are an herbalist.#4 - Level 98 - Kicking it up Another NotchAt L98, you unlock the L2 Plans for your Medium Buildings. This is important for anyone who is building a Barn, as this upgrade allows you to create the most powerful Feasts using your Barn’s Work Order system.#5 - Level 100 The Final GoalAt Level 100, you’re able to level your Garrison to L3. This unlocks your 3rd profession building, along with your 2nd Medium building and 2nd Large Building. It also unlocks the ability to take your Large Buildings to L3. You’re also unable to level any individual buildings to L3 until your Garrison is L3.Other Important Things to RememberIn the past, skipping to the next zone as soon as you ding was beneficial. But in Draenor, the Bonus Objectives of each zone grant a LOT of experience, and are generally worth sticking around to finish. In addition, certain quest lines will reward you with followers, which are going to be very helpful as you level your Garrison.We also are able to build Garrison Outposts in certain zones that have an effect on gameplay. While these are mostly up to you, I want to mention that you will want to Build the Brewery in Spires of Arak, in order to be rewarded with a Skinning Follower for your Barn after completing later quests.DiscussionAs I mentioned, this information is all out there - thankfully - Since I don’t have beta access, I wouldn’t know about it otherwise. But let’s talk about what that means.Each and every one of you, I’m sure, has a different stable of toons and professions. A different timeline. Different goals. So, I’m going to just tell you what I think in terms of my setup. While I have nine L90s ready to go, I’m choosing to focus on what I call my CORE 6 to start. These six are toons I enjoy playing, and they collectively give me full coverage of all the primary professions - including gathering.I have assigned them an order in which to level them to 100, based on what materials their CDs will eat. The idea being that if I balance my materials needs between Ore and Herbs, I can mostly service my own needs through hitting my Garrison’s mine and garden.Now, eventually I’ll get all six of these to L100, but the important thing to me is to get my Passive Garrison Resource generation going, as well as unlock my initial Cooldowns & Work Orders. I’ve taken off work for Launch Day & the day after - it helps that Friday is my Birthday, so I can tell the Boss I wanna take off for my Birthday - she’s not much of a gamer.Now, I’m not going batshit insane or anything. I’m sleeping Wednesday night, waking up at 7:30, and starting my adventures in Draenor at 8am with my brother and my other guildies who are online. I’ll be playing a lot, but regular meals, showering, spending time in the evenings with my wife, etc - I’m still gonna do all that. This gives me about 12 solid hours a day to do my own thing with WoW - though I’m leaving half of it open on Sunday for The Walking Dead, Homeland, and of course, recording & editing another episode of Late Nite With Stede.So in the other ~40 hours, I wanna balance Goldmaking potential with personal progress on my main. I plan to get all my CORE 6 to Garrison L2 with their 2 main profession buildings built. I’d also like my main to get to L100. I think these are feasible breakpoints to hit in the first weekend.After that, I’ll likely get my remaining CORE to L96 and unlock the Garden and their 3rd profession building. And once that’s done, I’ll start taking them to L100. For me, those are the biggest breakpoints.Timing is EverythingWe’ve heard that folks were levelling 90-100 on the beta in less than 5 hours. The general consensus is that it was easily achievable for anybody who had their act together in
A work order can be used as internal creative brief. Like creative briefs, a work order can have up to 15 topics/subjects that an account exec can use to describe the work being requested. The work order's topics can be pre-defined as part of the job type/spec sheet, so that all jobs of the same type have the same work order topics.
