Anyone want to marvel at how big of a WoW geek I am?
I am pathetic and in nee of serious help. I have discovered a way to apply the skills I use every day at work to better play a stinkin video game. Is there anything more pathetic?

So, for all you WoW players out there (and I know you are out there) here is what I did. I used Micrsoft Excel to create a multi tab workbook that allows you to optimize your available materials for maximum money output. I used information from ThottBott and Allakhazam and built the thing into a pretty, easy to use package. It will track 50 skill recipes/designs and 50 types of material.

I currently have it tooled for Jewelcrafting as that is my character's skill, but I designed the sheet so that only a few modifications allow it to be used for any skill.

Those of you out there who do not play don't get it I'm sure. Those of you who do, I have a question for you:

Am I beyond help?

:shrug: :) :shrug:

1. Yes yes you are. .
But at least you make me realize my friend isn't as WOW geekish as I accuse him to be.. in fact I should call him immediately and apologize for I have seen the true sign of WOW geekdom ;).

Note: Just teasing, nothing wrong with putting in effort into something you really like doing.

Double Note: I'm not teasing that you out geeked him though and I owe him an apology.

5. Glad I can give someone a little perspective
The absolute saddest thing about this is that EVERY WoW player I know who has seen this sheet wants a copy of it for their characters.

16. 2500 GOLD!
OMG! I am only just beyond what I would consider being a noob, so I haven't yet seen the gold in my hands reach double digits. I shivered at 4g for a new bag yesterday.

Good thing I have mats :)

What farming skill do you use?

18. It is really easy to convert for any skill
you just have to fill in the information. All of it is realy easy to get and transfer into the sheet.

You may be in luck because, once complete, I have been tasked to build a leatherworking one for my wife's character.

PM me your email address and I'll put you on the distro for sending it out :)
