I think I only posted auctions a day or two this week, so things were slow – but we still walked away with 2.5 million gold, across a small handful of servers. Azgalor (my home server) had a nice transmog sale, and then there were some smaller sales across the board.
As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself!
Well, this is where I start to lose interest in World of Warcraft, and gold making. But I’m going through and making some blog posts after the fact just to show how even with a tiny bit of effort, you can still make some pretty solid gold.
This is 2.5 million for the week, mostly transmog, a small handful of pets. Spread across 7 realms. Diversity is key.
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.
