Tag: GoldMaking

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!

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.

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.
