Gold Making – Week 35 (2025)

Well, 10.5 million for the week is a really nice amount, that’s for sure. Where did the sales come from? First of all, I leveled up a whole bunch of spare pets that I’ve kept in my banks for some time and another goblin scooped those up to re-sell since they were level 25. Perfectly fine by me, I still got what I wanted from them. I use these pets to level up alts, so I don’t bother selling pets at level 1.

There was one big collector who splurged and bought 2.5 million gold worth of unobtainable transmog from me on Argent Dawn (low pop NA RP server). That came as a bit of a surprise, but I was really glad for it. I don’t often get collectors working their way through things but it’s the perfect time for it as people look to other activities in game.

Transmog and pets made the bulk of my sales, with recipes coming in third. I’ll have to go through and restock, today I opted to take a break from posting daily and I’ll pick it back up tomorrow. A break here and there is never a bad thing, sometimes my mornings are a bit busy and I don’t have the 1h available. In any case, I’m still pretty happy with these sales.

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

An ethereal on a companion on a crab – Of course

The main city of The War Within never fails to amuse me, there’s always someone in there doing something weird. Today, it was a tiny crab toy that was carrying around a companion who was carrying around an ethereal, and they would all move together around the area. Very strange! Also awesome.

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

The Eastern Kingdoms Cup – Completed!

I’ve now officially finished the Eastern Kingdoms Cup – but only on normal. There are still advanced and reverse races to do but I’m calling this a win. I did implement a few changes to my dragonflight. I picked up an addon called Glider that changes the dragonflying gems into a pie with triangle sections. It lights up green as you accelerate, and goes red if you’re slowing down. This gave me an easier time visualizing what was going on. I also decided to fly on a disc instead of a mount because it was MUCH easier to see my surrounding areas.

Plaguelands was my least favourite race. The yellow of the mushrooms + the yellow of the scenery + the yellow of the rings all sort of blended together and I had a very difficult time telling the difference. I’m glad to have that one done.

I MIGHT go and try to complete the reverse, because I imagine that can’t be any more difficult than doing normal, especially since I certainly don’t have any of the paths memorize, but we’ll have to see. For now, just earning gold in each of them was more than enough.

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

Blaugust 2025 Group Project – You’d Never Guess, But…

I don’t normally participate in these group events with Blaugust, but I always enjoy reading them, so I figured why not. This one is a pretty easy one for me to speak up about. We’re supposed to write about something we don’t normally share on our blog, that we think our readers would never guess. So. What’s mine?

I have NOT been a ‘gamer’ my entire life. In fact, I didn’t even own a computer or use a personal computer until I moved out in 2000. I very clearly remember my first computer because it was only 25 years ago. I did take typing in school (I don’t think that’s a thing any more) but I don’t think that counts as ‘gaming’.

My brothers were the gamers, I have two younger ones and yes on occasion me and Mom would gather together and play Mario Kart and get my gamer brothers to help us out on the harder levels, but I did not grow up playing games, and I didn’t care about them at all. The one computer we had at home was “Dad’s” and we were allowed to use it in later years to check email, and sometimes use his BBS that he ran, but that was about it.

There are days when I feel like I could honestly step away from gaming all together and be perfectly happy. Then I remember that I met my husband through gaming, I met some of my closest friends through gaming. My past careers, working for Carbine Studios, writing for Beckett Massive Online Gamer – all gaming. It has played a significant part in my life, despite not having grown up doing any of it.

So there you have it. A huge (now) gamer, who was never a gamer growing up.
