Category: WoW Gold Making

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!

It is the final week of 2025! Sales were slow, I took a lot of breaks. I brought in just shy of 2 million gold this week, and for my absolute low effort, I’m OK with that. So let’s take a look at the year in general.

For the year Tradeskillmaster has me sitting at 136,486,212g earned, and I spent about 4 million of that on random bits and bobs (probably craft supplies, since I hate farming). I also had some very low performing months at the beginning of the year since I wasn’t really playing. September was my best month ever, with over 14 million gold earned for that month alone.

My highest performing realm is Area52, comes as no surprise, it’s the most populated realm in all of NA. Competition may be fierce, but even posting once a day ensured me sales. I don’t bother cancel scanning, if I did I’m sure the numbers would go even higher.

I have roughly 90 million liquid gold left at the time of this post. I’ve purchased game time, expansions, and many (many) gifts for friends. I even got banned for the first time ever later this year – but it was overturned. Never did find out what caused that one.

In any case. I’m excited about midnight, I’m excited about 2026, and I’m looking forward to whatever the future brings in regards to gold making. I’ve been playing this odd meta game for about 9 years now, and it never fails to entertain.

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

Holidays are finally here, but my gold making has been pretty stagnant lately – which I’m actually OK with. I periodically posted to more than the base 10 servers I find myself on, but if there were no sales the day after I would just let the items lapse and collect them from the mailbox without reposting. Casual gold making seems to be working well for me, and helps prevent burnout. I know everyone is busy grinding holiday stuff and working on Legion Remix while they can.

The big sellers of the week (notice I’m not selling furniture or doing any current tier stuff, I’ll talk about this in a minute) included more ‘random’ items than usual. For once, recipes were not at the top of the list. Transmog wasn’t, either. This week I sold a very small number of expensive battle pets, and a large number of mounts and toys, for whatever reason. I also didn’t sell anything especially expensive, maybe folks are spending all of their gold on furniture these days. The most expensive item I sold ended up being 190,000 gold. Still, sales are sales, and I don’t mind the slow down. None of my items are in demand or are even from the current tier of the game, which is something I tend to do on purpose so I can avoid a majority of the competition. I don’t especially enjoy AH PVP – some people are all about that, and that’s great for them.

In any case, I hope everyone has a very happy, safe, holiday. No matter where you spend it. I’ll hopefully be spending most of mine in Azeroth, trying to finish the remaining class halls I need to get done and maybe doing some decorating, finally. We’ll see!

As always, happy gaming!

Another week of gold making – but as a heads up, I did take wed/thu/fri/sat off this week from the daily posting happenings. I needed a bit of a break, the holidays are just about upon us and real life has been busy with all that entails. So, no posting happened then.

I made a grand total of 23 sales, for just shy of 3 million gold in-game. Most of those sales (as you can see in the screenshot above) came from recipes, although there were a handful of transmog scattered in there too. Normally I check my statistics on the tradeskillmaster website, but this time I opted to just take a screenshot of the in-game ledger. Either way the information is the same since TSM syncs with the in-game data. I have to say, part of the reason I enjoy gold making is because I just love data / statistics / charts / graphs. Who doesn’t!

I’m debating whether or not I want to do a year at a glance type of post at the end of the year, the TSM website doesn’t seem to go past 6 months, and I am pretty sure I wiped the in-game TSM data when I returned to the game because the files were gigantic. Plus I have information scattered across various accounts as it’s still pretty recent that I consolidated all of my auction house characters to one ‘account’. I’ll think about it more and then see what I can manage. It has been fun posting these weekly gold making posts, and I hope to continue doing it in 2026, that much I know.

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

I had a few sales this week, but I also relaxed and let the auctions lapse a time or two for a bit of a break – I need to go through my banks and restock those AH characters, something I’ve been neglecting. So far I’ve continued to post auctions on 10/20 servers to cut down the amount of time spent, but I might start increasing this again, we’ll see (I say this every week but I haven’t actually moved forward with it yet).

I expect things in game to slow down a bit as we wait for March and Midnight. There’s no new content happening, and it’s a good time for people to take a break (minus player housing, of course). There’s a lot of gold to be made right now with furniture, so if you haven’t looked into that yet, you might want to!

For my own sales, gold this week came from transmog armor and then transmog weapons. Recipes came in third place, although that is probably because I need to restock more than anything else. I’ve been leveling characters to 80, working a bit on remix, and of course diving into housing (which will come in another post). As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!
