Vendor price cut ends the Iron Grenade shuffle

The weekly reset of 10 November changed the vendor price of 118 crafted items in World of Warcraft: Forever. Most lose about half. Iron Grenade drops from 5 silver to 1 silver 25 copper, and that ends one of the best known vendor shuffles in Classic.

The Iron Grenade shuffle

A vendor shuffle turns cheap materials into an item that sells to a vendor for more. One Iron Bar, one Heavy Blasting Powder and one Silk Cloth make three Iron Grenades. When those materials were cheap at the auction house, about 5 silver bought three grenades worth 15 silver at a vendor.

Now the three grenades bring in 3 silver 75 copper, less than the materials cost. Gold made this way comes from nowhere and pushes up prices for everyone, so Blizzard closes such loopholes quickly. On the beta it cut 79 crafted items and the Enchanting wands for the same reason. This is the first round on the live realms.

What changed

Together the 118 items sell for 45% less. 105 of them go down, mostly gear from Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Tailoring that binds on pickup. Minor Arcane Elixir from Alchemy falls from 25 to 5 copper.

13 items from Blacksmithing go up instead. Officer’s Boots, Sentinel’s Boots, Warder’s Boots and Justicar’s Boots sell for about 50 silver now, up from about 33. It looks like Blizzard brings items of the same level to the same price.

With so many new recipes in Forever, more changes like this are likely. Our profession guides list what each recipe needs.
