Category: WoW Gold Making

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.

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!

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!

In most cases, and even in this specific case that I want to talk about, I would not start over. In video games like World of Warcraft, accounts have a history. The game is old, and if you’ve been playing since the start, that’s a LOT of history.

For the past year or so I’ve been contemplating starting over on the EU servers. I am NA, but the time that I play is much better suited to EU, and I thought perhaps I’d have an easier time looking for groups, or guilds. Plus I have a lot of EU friends who play, and wouldn’t it be great to do some delves or some timewalking together.

So I started up a EU account, on a brand new bnet (this part doesn’t matter, because nothing is shared across regions anyway). With timewalking going on leveling is VERY fast, and before I knew it I had an 80 paladin. The problem is that I have not done The War Within story which means I don’t have the weekly quests available (yet).

Working through those quests when I’ve already done them over on NA (plus all the other goodies I have on NA) is difficult but I know if I just stick it out and get these chores done, I’ll feel much better about things.

Plus, doesn’t it make for good stories? While I’m at it, let’s talk gold. I have zero, or at least I started with zero. How much can I earn when I’m starting over from scratch, only using a single character, and on a new region with no materials at all?

I suppose we’ll see!
