I'd be willing to pay 1-2k for this, but not 10k. Frankly, I'd like it so I can drop 3 colors into the raid area. I have some very visual raiders that need a marker, and having 2 white or greens seems to confuse the hell out of them. Sadly, the only person that seems to be selling the schematic is determined to get 8k for it, even though he's reposted it for over a month now.

It is a random Outland drop so there isn't really a "best" place to farm for it. Since the drop rate appears to be marginally higher from elites, I would suggest farming trash in BC heroics. (Who knows, you could get lucky and get not only this schematic but [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=32768]this[/url] as well.)

This is still a heavily desired item, and is going for over 1k on my server. I'm actually in line to buy it if one is ever found. A very rare world drop that drops a zone not many quest in anymore, makes this extremely valuable. Also camping Skyguard Pyrotechnician for the red ones you can buy occasionally.

I've been noticing the price of this schematic on the AH over the last couple of months has shot up tremendously. Ally side it's been selling for 7500 to 10k gold and on the Horde side it ranges from 10k to 12k gold now. Was looking to farm one up to be able to make them, but now I will probably sell the schematic if I get one to drop.

I obtained this pattern the other day off a mob in nagrand. Right now i'm the only one on my server to have one on the AH. I thought putting at 2k was steep, glad I checked here seems rarer than I previously thought.

I found this for 1.2kg on the AH, bought it right away since I usually see it going for 20kg, used it.. and now I've been making flares to fill up WSG Flag room, good to use a bunch on the flag and just the entire room, it appears that it makes it somewhat harder for some of the enemy team to fight and take the flag, so.. it does give some PVP tactical advantages xD, also fun to just fill up AH areas full of these smoke flares, doesn't interfere with being able to click vendors so I don't think it would cause any harm to anyone, mainly cause some laughs and possibly get a few people mad, no big deal imo. :D

If you can get it cheap enough (i.e. 2k or less), I recommend it. The flares are cheap to make and I've made 5k profit in 2 days selling them on trade. You may have to waste a couple of stacks for demonstration purposes, but it really is worth it.
