Gold Making – Week 31 / 2025

Sales have been picking up a bit this week (or they’re just better because I’ve been consistently listing them for once) with a fair number of items selling at high prices (58 items sold, and just under 5 million gold earned overall). It’s all of my usual items which includes older transmog, recipes, and pets. I don’t deal in current tier, or consumables (thinks that stack, like potions, ore, or enchants).

I also learned that the allied race quests have changed a while back – and I finally. FINALLY unlocked Kul Tiran. I don’t play alliance very often these days, and that single allied race has sat locked for ages because (way back when, apparently) you had to do the main BFA story line as alliance for it and I just don’t really enjoy questing that much. It was nice to finally get it done but I probably should have paid attention and realized it changed ages ago. It doesn’t help that a lot of the AI answers for … everything these days, is just plain wrong. Look deeper into the questions you’re asking (google AI told me Earthen were an alliance only face – NOT true at all).

Anyway, it’s another week of sales – slow and steady. What has everyone else been up to? How are your gold making adventures going? Let me know in comments.

Gold Making Challenges

Lately, I’ve seen a huge influx of creative challenges in Warcraft on how to make gold – but one thing a lot of these challenges all seem to share is that they use the most grind induced methods. I understand it’s the end of Season 2 on retail and people are bored, but spending 5 days played time earning enough for a single token? That just sounds painful to me.

I think if these people made some small tweaks to their challenges, they could still be interesting – and maybe even be more fun, too. One of the more popular challenges I’ve seen involves being ‘locked’ to a zone, typically a starter zone, and earning enough for a token only within that zone. In almost all cases I’ve seen this challenge being done on retail (both horde and alliance, both NA and EU) – and I think it’s more suited to classic MOP (I know there are no tokens in basic classic) where the cost of the token is lower, and QoL still makes this challenge a thing. It feel very punishing to do this on retail, when there are so many better zones this challenge could take place, right out the gate. Now, I understand that is the entire point of the challenge, but making gold should still be fun.

It all has me thinking about making my own YT videos on gold making. I’ve tried streaming in the past but I just couldn’t stick to a schedule. Maybe I would have an easier time of it if I just filmed when I played here and there, and then attempted some post production stuff. Honestly this is all just thinking out loud at this point.

I’m looking forward to Season 3 starting, but I think we’re all mostly in a waiting period for Midnight, and player housing.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Gold Making – Week 30 / 2025

This week was a slower one as I got myself situated across two accounts once again instead of just a single one. I know I’ve said this a few times in my gold making posts, but I sell across 20 NA servers, and I used to have those 20 characters on my main account dedicated to making gold but instead decided to shuffle them to my second account.

That leaves my main account dedicated to ‘fun’ while my 2nd account is dedicated to gold making. On days when I don’t feel like putting things for sale, at least there’s a little distance and I don’t have the characters looking at me waiting. Doing this shuffle means I had a number of days with no sales at all, or smaller sales than usual as I shuffled all the goods. I might level them up one day, but for now they can just sit at level 10 camped on their bruto where ever that may be.

I also spent some time (finally) leveling up pets. I don’t want to sell pets at level 1, instead I level them to 25 (and thus level up my alts at the same time) and then sell them – pricing them at the same price as level 1 pets. It’s my preferred way of leveling alts, and just plain fun. Here’s hoping everything is sorted enough so that this upcoming week will be a great one for sales.

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

Gold Making – Week 29 / 2025

Another week of ‘ok’ gold making sales, which I’m happy about considering we’re at the end of a season when people are typically playing less. As normal, the sales come from transmog, recipes, and pets. I don’t deal in current expansion items (or at least, I don’t typically. An exception would be the clickies you get from doing activities as a needed class. Those are current tier and I usually farm them pretty easily and then stuff them all up on the AH.

I didn’t post auctions every day, sometimes I burn out or I just don’t have enough time so I leave them and deal with them the next day. This helps me avoid burn out, and I just need to remind myself sometimes that it’s a game, and I shouldn’t stress too much.

I’m back playing on my NA account (as I mentioned in my previous post) so hopefully I can get a few more goals knocked off my list. We’ll just have to see. As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Gold Making – Week 28 / 2025

I was making these posts on Sunday, but I decided to swap it around and I’ll do Monday instead, as it’s just easier to blog then. Big sellers this week were my usuals, patterns, and a few transmogs. There was also small handful of mid tier pets. I ended up doing quite a few raids/dungeons that rewarded crystallized augment runes which I always sell. I use the addon ‘call to arms’ which tells me if there’s a reward satchel up and it has really come in handy.

This week I was all over the place as far as gaming goes. I’ve been spending a lot of time on my EU account because the time zone suits me better and groups are happening when I actually play but I’m also VERY established over on NA, and the prospect of starting all over again is daunting. For now I’ve decided to just continue playing both, but I will probably lean back towards my NA account. I think part of my issue is I really want to find a guild / community to join.

Anyway. Gold making. It went well this week, a bit higher than average, I imagine some folks are returning due to all of the events going on, and the news about Midnight. I know I am VERY excited about player housing, and I’m trying to complete content ahead of time so that I’m ready to unlock any potential housing bits that come through doing that content.

For the details of my gold making, I’m on 20 servers (all NA) and it takes me approx. 1h to post all my auctions each day across those servers. I used to use 2 accounts and post at the same time, but these days I’ve organized it so I’ve just got one account (thank you Warband). I sell between 100-150 items per server (I just fill my inventory once, and restock when I need to from the guild bank). Items are sniped using an API sniper similar to saddlebags, and they take a long time to sell because of the nature of the game (transmog takes forever, etc). Since I have so many items across so many servers, it’s a few sales each day and evens out over time. My number one piece of advice for anyone looking to get into gold making is to be consistent. Just keep at it, keep trying. I’ve been doing this for just under 9 years now and you need to make sure you’re not comparing yourself to other gold makers. I’m small potatoes compared to a lot of them out there, and that’s OK. I use them for inspiration and motivation.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
