Well, the first week of 2026 is done, and I brought in just shy of 5 million gold for the week. I had some really big sales, most notably the Rich Purple Silk Shirt pattern that went for over 800k for that single item alone. Even though you can transfer gold and items from any server to any server, MOST players won’t go to those lengths. Whether it’s because they don’t know they can, or because they don’t have access to the warband bank. That means buying on a cheap server and shuffling the items off to a more expensive server remains one of my best gold making methods. Folks who are focused on gold making and saving gold will of course use these tactics, they’re too good not to.
The rest of the sales were the usual transmog and nothing much of note. Out of the 10 servers I’m currently selling on, only 8 had sales, with two of those servers making up the bulk of all sales for the week. I’m reluctant to expand past those 10 servers right now, as the items sold vs. time spent posting doesn’t always balance out, and after gold making for over 9 years now, that’s something that is of high value to me (my time). I used to sell across 25 servers but I took a look at the total sales per server and dropped a bunch of them a few months back. It has impacted my gold earned slightly, but it also freed up a lot of time so that instead of spending approx 1-1.5h posting auctions each day, I could just spend 30 minutes posting while eating breakfast. Much better for consistency, which is key.
I hope everyone is off to a great start so far in 2026, and here’s to a great week of gold making. Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
