[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 38 (2026)

This week sales were up – mostly because I found a bunch of forgotten pets in a random bag and I stuck those up. I’ve also been working on leveling some alts (with pet battles) which has been a lot of fun. So this week I earned 2.3 million gold – helping to make up for all of the gold I’ve spent recently, as I purchased 4 copies of WoW:Forever, two for my own accounts and two for friends. I am fairly convinced that I will be giving ‘Forever’ a go – but I’ll also be playing on the EU RP servers. I am not sure if I’ll be playing horde or alliance yet, but it will be either a paladin or a druid, and no alts (if I can manage that). My intention is to keep things low key and as pressure free as possible. We’ll see.

In the meantime though that doesn’t mean I can forget about retail. The sales must continue.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

[Solo RPG] Cartograph

Welcome to the stage, Timpkins Bottrelle. A self described ‘soft’ cartographer in my latest adventures. In this solo RPG you explore and map new lands, while facing different events that happen along the way. My map has two locations visited so far. One was an encampment filled with armoured scholars, and the other location was a forest that had sentient wasps. The wasps demanded I leave a bag of grain with them in order to pass through their lands, to which Timpkins happily obliged.

I have my solo RPG adventures in its own notebook, and beside it, one for drawings / maps. I have a table of contents at the start of each, so I can reference them at later times, and I also have the date there so that I can see when I played. I love using my notebooks and having a reason to use fancy fountain pens, and of course I love writing – the idea of a solo RPG was very appealing, think of it in terms of writing prompts, where you choose your own adventure by the roll of a dice (or cards, or whatever they have you using). I can’t wait to continue to fill out the map, and see where Timpkins ends up exploring.

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 37 (2026)

Of course I (once again) didn’t find the time to post auctions on a few of my days this week – real life was just too busy. No big deal, I still walked away with a bit over a million gold, and that’s a good thing considering I promptly used my gold to purchase 3 copies of World of Warcraft: Forever (or whatever it’s going by these days).

I (like many other gold making goblins in Warcraft) are hoping that the new announcement for changes to transmog means that those sales will go up – though it was not the case for me this week.

Recipes and a handful of transmog once again rounded the list, and pets didn’t even make an appearance. Ah well.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

[WoW] It’s BlizzCon Weekend!

As much as I would love to play all of the things – I just can’t. I can’t give games the time that I think they deserve (or that I think they deserve) when I’m bouncing all over the place. So for right now, let’s pretend that I’ve been playing and invested in World of Warcraft, even though I can’t say that there is any glimmer of truth in this (except when it comes to the gold making meta, still doing that).

This weekend is BlizzCon, and a lot of stuff was revealed, but not a lot of stuff for the game I currently (don’t) play. I think it’s going by the term ‘Modern’ right now. I have very little interest in Classic World of Warcraft, though I did play it VERY briefly.

This weekend, they announced World of Warcraft Forever. It took me a while to understand what that even meant. I think it’s a way for the team to deviate from the norm and create things that don’t have to follow some 20+ year timeline. The level cap will stay at 60, there’s new zones, new races, and a vanilla world of warcraft experiences – expanded.

Will I be any more interested in this version than the Classic version? Honestly? Maybe? It’s hard to tell. I do relish the idea of a World of Warcraft where there isn’t so much history to catch up to. One where I might be able to start over fresh on the EU Roleplay servers (the goal) without feeling ‘bad’ about leaving behind an entire account of goodies. It’s tempting. A slower pace, made for busy people. I did end up buying a copy of the edition (with gold) for both my NA and EU accounts, and I do want to check things out in beta. I don’t know that it will have any lasting affect on me, but we’ll see.

In the meantime, I’m also back to trying to find a gosh darned guild. I need a community. It’s what keeps me playing, and lacking that, I bounce around from game to game.

Still playing EverQuest Legends, too. I’ll be writing about that one soon(tm).

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 36 (2026)

Well, some sales happened at least. As you can tell the start of the week fell a little short as I once again forgot to post my auctions, but that is just how it happens sometimes. I feel like I’ve gotten back into a great rhythm with my posting and I’m back on track – just in time for Blizzard to be releasing a new mount that costs 5 million gold, apparently. I’m undecided if I’ll pick it up, I don’t really need it, but who knows.

Anyway. I did manage to play a little, I did some delves, and some crafting. Sales were mostly transmog this week, which was a bit unusual. Prices seem to be fluctuating quite heavily too, so there might be some market manipulation going on. I also managed to restock all of my characters, and made some room in the guild bank for more stock.

There were no really big outstanding sales this week, just a fair number of smaller sales. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.
