The Daily Quest: I like gold. Do you like gold?

WoW Insider's on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative, and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
Some of my earliest childhood memories involve this song playing on my mother's eight-track player. You ever had one of those moments when you listened to a childhood song and then suddenly paid attention the lyrics? It took me nearly 20 years before I realized that song was about marrying a rich guy. Or gambling.
... I guess it wasn't exactly meant to be one of those role-model-type tunes, was it?
Today we've got some posts involving gold making in World of Warcraft, and none of them involve getting hitched to a rich guy -- I promise.
Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our WoW Resources Guide for more WoW-related sites.

- Mountain O' Gold ran some reports on solo Kara runs, which aren't just fun -- they're profitable too!
- Wragstoriches takes a look at Chaos Orbs and exactly how much they ought to be worth.
- The Gold Mint is beginning to wonder whether patch 4.3 will contain the one thing we haven't seen in Cataclysm content yet: epic gems.

I don't know what other people are doing, but Adamantite and Fel Iron stacks are going for around ~90-100g on my server. My lvl 68 DK is RICH. o_o

It does seem that BC-era crafting mats are going for a fair amount of money. Not the esoteric things like Fel Hides and Nerubian Chitin, mind you, but the basic stuff used to level professions.

(...and yes, I know Nerubian Chitin isn't BC-era. :P)

On my server, Fel Iron will barely sell.

Music from when singers actually had to be able to sing.
GET OFF MY LAWN.

Ah ABBA... how I love thee...
Benny is such an amazing piano player... but honestly, the bass player is totally underrated. The guy is amazing! Some of their songs are so incredibly insightful. They’re a total joy and true legends.
Wait… what was this column about again?? :)

Ugh, the price of Chaos Orbs. They're going for 100-200g on my server in trade chat, but AH prices for the BS weapons put them at ~1000g each. If I price them in trade chat, I won't go less than 500g. I'd make them into weapons myself, but I'm lacking seed money at the moment; I could probably make one or two weapons, and if they didn't sell I'd be absolutely broke.

Listen to "Every Breath You Take", and realize it's a stalker song.

"Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you"

LOL
I know! We used to cover that song back in my band days. It was weird playing it at friends weddings and such. It seriously is a creepy song... but was still fun to play! :)

I'm not sure what the upcoming Daily Quest theme is, but I figured I might as well try anyway. :P I just did a post on understanding stats for newbies, if that would be useful!
