[WoW] Gold Making – Week 48 (2025)

Player housing early access comes out TOMORROW on the NA servers for those who have pre-purchased Midnight. I always found it a bit annoying that those who have bought the physical edition of the game don’t get the early access goodies unless they ALSO buy the digital edition. Then you’re refunded the cost as bnet balance when the physical one shows up. Seems a bit shoddy, to me.

Anyway. Gold making this week was a bit hit / miss. I let a day or two lapse so I could take care of some real life things (my hands have been causing me a lot of grief and typing is difficult) and while I did make almost 5 million gold for the week, it was just a handful of big ticket transmog items. I’m hoping to get some harvesting done today in preparation for tomorrow, but we’ll see. Maybe everyone else will be dumping their materials and there will be a nice influx of cheaper supplies to pick up (I really don’t enjoy harvesting, at all). I’m not expecting my personal sales to do too much this next week as I don’t deal in any of the materials that will be flying out the door, but we’ll see how it goes.

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

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 47 (2025)

Sales in World of Warcraft continue to be a bit slow, and I imagine Remix is still taking up a lot of time – but they’re not too bad. This week profit was just over 4 million for the week, with most of that coming from transmog. I did sell some of the NLA shirts that I’ve had stashed away for some time, and some primal illusion recipes (crafters are gearing up for housing, and why not grab those missing recipes while you’re at it).

I decided to load up my bnet (the cap is $450 CAD in my currency) and I stuck a year of game time on my main account. I currently have three active accounts (two I play, one for AH only) but I might let one of those lapse in the future as I don’t tend to multibox all that much any more (it’s an easy way to get mass reported by players, even if you’re playing within Blizzard’s rules). I also gifted a few things to friends even though I used an abundance of caution since I JUST got my account back, hopefully everyone enjoys the early Christmas presents. This did put me at 80 million liquid when I had been hoping to reach 100 million by the time that Midnight releases, we’ll see if I can still reach that goal. I’m not too concerned if I don’t, 80 million gold is still a pretty respectable amount for someone like me.

I’m expecting the market to really explode in one way or another once housing releases on December 2nd. There’s so many crafted items, and I think we’ll see an influx of people returning to professions. I’m getting ready in my own way, but I already have 4 horde crafters & 4 alliance crafters which covers all professions, so I am hoping to avoid the mad rush of people who waited until the last second. I guess we’ll see! As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 46 (2025)

Well, I’m making another gold making post so that must mean that my ban was overturned. It was, but I was never given any explanation on why it happened to begin with, or even told if it was a false flagging. Instead it was a comment of “we have investigated, and decided to overturn the ban”. OK then. While I am incredibly grateful and happy to have my account back, it was also a very stressful week and some insight on how I can avoid this would have been nice (I realize this isn’t realistic, as they don’t want real RMT players bypassing rules, but for my own peace of mind it would have been nice).

Anyway. Back to gold making. This week was pretty nice, with just over 5 million made for the week. I had a couple of big ticket items sell, and I also started posting on 20 servers instead of 10. Remix has been slowing down and now it’s the anniversary of World of Warcraft and players are stumbling back into the light of retail.

Most of my sales this week came from patterns, although there were a few transmog hidden in there too. I did not see many / any pet sales, which is a bit unusual. I think there has been some confusion as to the future of battle pets and that might be slowing sales down a little bit, too.

In any case, it’s good to be making gold again. I hope everyone has a fantastic week, and I’ll see you in game. As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 45 (2025 Final post?)

For those who don’t know, earlier this week my account was banned for suspected RMT – now I can argue until I’m blue in the face that I have never participated in RMT before, but none of that matters unless an actual human person over at Blizzard takes a look at my case instead of their absolutely horrible AI system.

I do make a lot of gold. I do tend to gift a lot of expansions/game time/shop items to what might appear to be random people (and in some cases, are random people). I like to help people I see in need. I recently donated 10 million gold anonymously to Bears_Adventures for a future giveaway she was going to hold. I don’t know exactly what triggered my ban (Blizzard does not provide those details) but it could have been anything from the above mentioned giveaways to an actual RMT participant purchasing one of my auctions (how on earth I’m supposed to infer who is buying what of mine off of the AH, I have no idea).

This whole ordeal has left a sour taste in my mouth. I’ve done nothing wrong, tried to help those who need it, and was meticulous about following Blizzard’s own rules. Somehow, their system still got me. I did appeal, but the first one was shot down with some nonsensical reply that had nothing to do with anything I had written (leaving little doubt in my mind as to who was responding). I have appealed a second time, and reached out to Blizzard’s community team to try to get human eyes on the case. It could also have been something as simple as me transferring my own funds around between my accounts, which I tend to do. I am HOPING that this will be something that can be easily disproven, but again, it requires human interaction.

In any case. As you can tell by the tradeskillmaster ledger above, this was not a good week for gold making. I’ve been too scared to log in, because I don’t want anything to happen to my main account. Instead, I’m laying low and waiting.

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 44 (2025)

Well, I missed out (again) on getting some posting done, this past week has just been too busy to be able to do all of the things. There were some smaller sales that went on, but nothing too drastic. I’m still selling at a reduced volume, by only posting across my 10 busiest servers instead of the 20 servers I would typically post to. Eventually when things pick up again or I’ve got more free time, I will post all of the places. For now, this feels like a nice compromise.

Recipes were the sales of the week, I have to organize and go through the pets I have listed because I think I’ve forgotten to add them to the mix. Ever since guild banks broke (they display just a cage, and not the specific pet) I’ve shuffled my stock around to the warbank trying to get a nice market flow. It’s important for me to be able to see WHAT pet I’m potentially stocking up on since I use TSM, and Blizzard’s method of just having ‘pet cage’ in the guild bank is fairly useless. It has been broken for some time, so I’m not really expecting anything to change.

Hopefully everyone else is doing well, and the gold is flowing! I’ve seen a few more friends trickle back into retail vs. remix, and with 76 days left to go I imagine a lot of us are just waiting for phase 4.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
