I had a lot of fun with this little doodle! I did a wet on wet technique for the fish, waited for it to dry, then went over it with my lamy safari (medium nib). I don’t normally paint animals, so it was a little bit of a change for me!
Well, the latest runs of Sunwell have not been kind with their drops, nor have their sales been that interesting – but the real question is, what has the GPH been. This is 3.5h of ‘work’ farming Sunwell Plateau (no named, just trash) on my level 61 speed druid.
A few new things to note here. Number one, I’ve decided to vendor anything with less than a 200g value, which has cut the amount of trash I’m putting up significantly. Number two, the last few runs were done over the Christmas holiday, and the RNG deities did NOT play nice. You can see from the screenshot above that the ‘value’ of my 10 runs, is 13,77g – with only one ‘interesting’ item that dropped. That is my lowest run yet. I was hoping to get lucky with a schematic or two, but that would not be the case.
We’re nearing the end of this little challenge, and I’m sure I’ll find something interesting to do for the next one. I feel like 47.9k gph is still a respectable amount considering the effort required, but it’s not something that’s instant as these items did take time to sell. If you combine it with professions, or other dungeons, or even just world quests, it makes your overall gph a lot more attractive.
As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.
I posted a few clips of some art from 2023, this is done in Procreate on the ipad. It’s sped up but I’m thinking of posting some in real time for 2024. This one in particular is one of my favourites. If you like that sort of thing, I’ve collected them all into a play list, and don’t forget to give me a follow on YouTube so you can get notified when more are posted!
These are the addons I currently use to help with gold making in Warcraft, updated for 10.2.5. They’re not in any sort of order, it’s just what displays in CurseForge. Keep in mind there’s no requirement to use ALL of these addons, especially if you’re not doing things like professions. This is just my current list (I also have other addons for other activities, which you can find listed). These addons cover a wide variety of gold making, ranging from professions, farms, mission tables, and even AH flipping.
One of the things I’ve always loved about making gold in world of warcraft, and the gold making community, is that there are MANY different methods of making gold – and despite what some would have you believe, there is NO wrong way to make gold.
There ARE more optimal methods – that doesn’t invalidate your method. The important thing to keep in mind when it comes to making gold is whether or not YOU are enjoying the process. Whether or not YOU are seeing the gains and achieving the goals that you have set for yourself. Are you learning? Fantastic. Keep it up.
What everyone else is doing, how everyone else is making their gold – that doesn’t matter. Even if you find a method that you enjoy, and then you adapt it to your game play style – that’s good! Do that. Do what works for you, and stop trying to look down on folks who are perhaps not quite at the same level.
I am never going to be the person who can suggest the most optimal method of making gold. I am not a min/max player. I love making gold, but I also consider myself to be incredibly casual, with disabilities that come into play affecting both my mobility and sight. A large portion of my gold making comes from being in the right place at the right time and some pure dumb luck. What I hope for the new year is that people (gold makers, in specific) continue to support and uplift the community around them, encouraging new gold makers to pursue their passion within the game – WITHOUT looking down on them or reprimanding them for their methods if they don’t align with their own. We all have our own value on what time is worth to us and it’s going to change person by person. That’s OK.
