Tag: GoldMaking

This week was pretty smooth as far as sales go, I’ve started leaving my auctions for 48h, in the hopes that I don’t have to babysit them quite as much. My stock is mostly older items, nothing is from Midnight, and only a handful of items even come from The War Within. These are pets, transmog, recipes, and other curiosities that span across the older expansions. People who purchase from me are usually either gold goblins hoping to flip it on another server, or collectors.

Anyway, I may not be pulling in as much gold as the big players out there, but a million or two a week is a good amount for the effort I put in, I feel. It’s 30 minutes of posting every two days, and some restocking here and there when required.

What do I do with my gold? Well, I pay for everything I can with it. Whether that’s expansions, store items, game time. I also gift a large amount to friends, because what is the point of all of this gold if I can’t share it with others. Eventually you get to a point where you don’t even really think about it any more. Ideally I’d like to get to 100m liquid (I reached this in The War Within, but it has been some time now) and then we’ll see where things are.

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

This was a week of really big sales (but not that many over all), I made a total of 2.9 million gold, but I also didn’t post for a few days as real life took over (happy Easter for anyone who celebrated, and Happy First Contact day)! I can’t even remember what I spent the 30k on, I think it was a housing item or two I had found that I didn’t have yet, and maybe some flips I had found. The biggest sales this week actually came from Moon Guard, which is not usually one of my better performing servers, so I was surprised. Someone bought a transmog shirt (again) and I am of course thankful for it.

I did get into the Firelands raid for some gear upgrades, and I also did Prey to boost my vault for the week. Here’s hoping I get some great sales the upcoming week!

I spent a LOT of gold this week, 1.2 million – on housing items. I bought every crafted item I could because there is just no way I’m harvesting lumber except to get the achievement associated with it. I simply do not enjoy harvesting. In fact you can use that as my “huh something is wrong with Stargrace” fact if you ever see me actively harvesting.

Sales this week were great, over 5 million for once – but a lot of that came from a single sale. There was 1 sale for 1.8 million gold that happened with a no longer obtainable transmog, I believe it was a shirt.

Mid week the sales slowed down – but that’s mostly because I didn’t post my auctions back up after they had expired. I was working on doing my weeklies, dungeons, raids, and all of that good stuff. Sometimes, I’m just not into it. That’s OK though, after being in the game for this long it’s not really a big deal if I don’t post for a day or two.

I continue to post on my top 10 earning servers, the others have mostly fallen by the wayside. I am sure I could eek out a bit more gold if I were to continue to post on all of the servers I was on previously, but it’s a lot of time for very little return. Eventually I might get back to it, but for now I’m happy with how things are going.

I hope everyone else is having a lovely time in Warcraft, remember that you’re more than welcome to play your way, no matter what that ‘way’ is. Don’t let others talk you out of it. As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

Another week of sales – slightly over 2.3 million gold in profit. I did end up spending some gold, gotta level those professions up after all, but not much. I think I actually purchased two recipes I didn’t have, too.

The sales were nothing out of the ordinary. A lot of smaller transmog and a handful of recipes, with Area 52 once again being my server of choice, bringing in 1.5 million of that total. The NA token has been dropping in price, and I expect with the start of season 1 officially beginning on Tuesday, that it will continue to drop. Remember it drops when people have a need for gold – and new gear = a need for gold. It goes up when there is no need, or there is a market place sale, or a new item in the market place (like the furniture that blizzard has been pushing). The token almost always drops at the beginning of an expansion / start of a season as people want gold to buy gear / gems / etc.

In any case, I’m alright with my smaller sales. It’s not the 10 million I used to make in a week but again I’m only selling on 10 servers these days instead of 20, so it takes me around 30 minutes each day I post. Before it was taking me an hour, sometimes more, and I wasn’t seeing the returns I wanted.

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

I was just not feeling it this week. I sporadically put things for sale but didn’t post with any sort of consistency, and instead spent some time getting quests done, doing world quests, leveling up delves, and doing all of this little tidbit items that need to get done before the actual season starts in game. I imagine everyone else is focusing on things like that, too. Then of course there is also housing.

All of that being said, I did make just shy of 2 million gold for the week, with a few large sales. The fel meteorite at the end was left overs from my remix days, most of my new auction house characters came from that and I just left it in their inventory.

A lot of old world recipes (I have even more that I need to get posted), and some transmog makes up the bulk of items this week. Now that I feel ‘caught up’ I should be good to post with more consistency, but if that doesn’t happen, it’s OK too.

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