Gold Making – Week 34 / 2025

Sales were pretty good this week, and I found myself at around 8.4 million gold once the dust settled. I did end up spending a few million getting Midnight for 3 of my accounts (2 epic collections, one for NA and one for EU, and a base edition) which does not show in the TSM ledger. I also decided to finally level up cooking, which is why you see some purchases taking place. I’ve been working on collecting recipes, but it’s pretty slow going as my hands are giving me some difficulty so I can’t game much.

As far as what sold, it’s just my usual items. Recipes, battle pets, and transmog. I’m still not touching TWW (unless it’s crafted items) and that’s fine by me. As for the details:

I spend 1h each day posting auctions. I post 140-150 items on each of my 20 servers. I don’t cancel scan, I don’t see the need in my markets. If you’re selling fast moving popular items, sure maybe then you want to cancel scan. Otherwise, just be patient. Remember there’s more than one buyer out there. My servers of choice are medium/high pop ones, though I will admit that Area52 (the largest NA server) is my top as far as sales go. It could be other gold making goblins just buying my stuff to resell it and I’m OK with that. I got what I wanted for the item and it sold, those are the important things.

I’m waiting for reset to happen tomorrow. My paladin is at a generous 693 ilevel right now, and I have not one, not two, but THREE monks sitting at around 670-690. Did I mention how much I love monks this season? Well, I always have. I’m playing Mistweaver (raids, M+) and Brewmaster (Delves). Fun times.

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

Doing Restored Coffer Keys – Wrong?

One of the best methods to finding gear upgrades for me so far in S3 has been using the restored coffer keys in bountiful delves – except I run out of keys and I had no idea where I was supposed to get them from. Turns out, there’s a few methods and I was ignoring them all because it’s not really noticeable. Blizzard has a little menu hidden that tells you about things you should work on, and one of those things is ‘coffer key shards’ 100 combine into a key. There’s a bunch of events tied to this, events I normally avoid. Mousing over it also tells you exactly which chests / events you need to earn the keys themselves.

Huh.

I guess I know what I’m working on.

Mount #477

I managed to pick up 3 mounts this week, and am at 477/500, yay! I haven’t looked at any lists to see what I could potentially be working towards, so that’s my next goal. So far I’ve just been collecting them as I do regular content. Still, progress is progress!

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

Meet – Winneveve

When you pre-order Midnight, you get a level 80 boost. With it, all of the base factions in TWW get capped out at 25 (or whatever their caps are, maybe some are 20). Since I took a very long break from WoW from November 2024 to June 2025, I did not have these factions maxed out yet. Well. I suppose now I do.

I didn’t really NEED any more alts, but I did buy the epic edition of Midnight for my main account (using gold), and the base edition for my alt accounts. I decided to boost up a monk on my alt account and that’s where Winneveve came from. I created her on Moon Guard, the RP server. I spent the day doing delves, LFR, and various other activities. What started out as a 645ilevel character who couldn’t even queue for raids is now 680. Gearing up these days is INCREDIBLY fast, plus I had a good deal of luck. See now that all of those factions are maxed my characters can run around to the quartermasters picking up all of the crest goodies, too. They scale to season 3.

I quickly returned to my paladin main once I had the monk settled, but it was still fun. Monk has always been one of my preferred classes to play.

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

Still crawling towards 500 mounts

I know there are people who have over 1,000 mounts that are available in game (I’m not sure of the exact number currently available, but it’s up there) but for me, mounts have always been a side quest that I wasn’t interested in picking up. I always choose pets over mounts, especially when it comes to the monthly tenders spending. About 2 years ago I thought why not start also collecting mounts, and I made a small goal for myself to reach 500 mounts usable on a single character. This feat is more difficult than you might think. On paper I’m sitting at 502 mounts total – but as you can see by the achievement above, I actually only have 474 mounts that can be used on a single character. This is the ‘true’ representation of mounts that I’ve collected.

My goal to collect 500 mounts was supposed to end when TWW released, but that absolutely did not happen. I’m HOPING maybe I can potentially reach it before the end of TWW? The thing is, I’m not sure if I WANT to actively hunt mounts like that. I’m still missing quite a few pets from TWW (and some from DF, even), and I’d rather work on collecting profession recipes which is another fun hobby of mine. I suppose we’ll just have to see what I have time for.

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