JC investments...

25 days ago I started buying all Titanium Ores below 15g each and send these to my Jewelcrafter to prospect. The idea was to get Titanium Powders and later Jewelcrafter Tokens. All this to allow my Jewelcrafter getting the recipes faster.

I was curious to see how much I actually invest since I get a lot of uncut gems when I prospect. These uncut gems are cut and sent back to my banker to sell on the Auction House. Also, I noticed the uncut epic gems was dropping in price (due to the 3.3.3 patch I guess) so I've also bought a lot of these to be cut and sold.

I used my script from a previous post to figure out how much I've bought and sold for during the last few weeks. BeanCounter says that I started my serious Titanium Ore buying 2010-03-09 at 20:46:23. This translates into the epoch time stamp 1268092800 when setting time to 00:00. To find this time stamp I used the simple Ooo-Calc formula x=(y-DATE(1970;1;1))*(24*60*60). Where x is the epoch time stamp and y would be the date.

The ingame script for Titanium Ores became /script s,l,h=BeanCounter.API.getAHProfit(player,"Titanium Ore",1268092800,time()); print (s);

The below table displays the results where the epic gem rows display the profit / loss for that particular gem including the buying of uncut ones.

Titanium Ore	-23784g 16s 73c
Ametrine	1020g 37s 71c
Cardinal Ruby	1523g 10s 75c
Dragon's Eye	-
Dreadstone	3549g 72s 80c
Eye of Zul	1039g 43s 84c
King's Amber	3264g 05s 81c
Majestic Zircon	2168g 05s 93c
	-11219g 39s 89c

That's quite a big loss but I figured I would include the stock value as well. I have 49 cut gems of various types. The average post value is 201g 63s 45c which makes my stock valued to 9880g 09s 14c.

This wraps up to -1339g 30s 75c of profit (loss in this case then) due to my investments in my Jewelcrafter. I'm sure I could lower that value a bit if I included the sold rare cut gems, so why don't I?

Autumn's Glow	1254g 46s 20c
Forest Emerald	205g 39s 35c
Monarch Topaz	787g 81s 01c
Scarlet Ruby	1683g 02s 92c
Sky Sapphire	677g 07s 16c
Twilight Opal	554g 31s 96c
	5162g 08s 60c

So when I include the rare uncut gems that are cut and sold I will actually have a profit of 3822g 77s 85c when investing heavily in my Jewelcrafter. That's a great surprise to me actually. This means I can safely continue with my investments. :-)
