Midnight Spoilers: What’s up with Pet Battles?!

I know most of us have moved on from Twitter, but for World of Warcraft information sometimes that’s the only place I can get it from. I am not in the Midnight Alpha – but tons of content creators I follow are, and this little bit of information that was released really stood out to me.

MrGM posted about how pet battles in Midnight have changed – at least when it comes to capturing. You no longer battle 3 pets in the open world and attempt to cage, instead you just.. throw a cage, and catch it. The new method removes pet battles from the equation – at least for Midnight. This is NOT retroactive to other zones.

As someone who really enjoys pet battling, and who enjoys capturing pets, this troubles me. I’m concerned that Blizzard is going to slowly phase out pet battles all together. I’m concerned that they’re done with one of the only aspects of the game I interact with on an almost daily basis.

In comments (of course) there is a LOT of speculation, comments like it’s because of Nintendo. I’m not sure if I’d go that far, we’ve seen pets move to the very end of the line in a number of expansions now and I’m just worried that this will be one more system that they cut out completely.

Thoughts? Let me know in comments. As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

Gold Making – Week 38 (2025)

There were not many sales this week, only 126, but I did get some pretty big sales, which was nice. A total of 7.9 million gold earned for the week. I think I spent around 200,000g so that’s a pretty nice ratio.

It was my kiddos birthday which is why the post is going up late and I’m adjusting the date for it. because of this I ended up missing a few days of reposting my auction house items, but that’s OK, breaks are also good just to help prevent burn out.

Sales were my usuals, pets, mounts, transmog, recipes. Nothing from TWW, nothing fast moving. I’m eagerly waiting for Legion Remix, and in the meantime I’m working on collecting ATT. It’s slow, but I’ll be starting a weekly blog post series on that soon(tm).

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

Gold Making – Week 37 (2025)

Another week gone by, and sales have declined a little bit but a lot of that is also due to the fact that I didn’t post my auctions for a day or two over the weekend. I was just exhausted and didn’t want to burn out, so I let them lapse. I think I’m pretty consistent most of the time, so letting them expire a day or two each week isn’t that big of a deal.

I only had one really big sale this week, and that was the Baron Charr’s Sceptre that went for 1.5 million gold. I sold a LOT of pets, mostly to other gold goblins who will re-sell them. I’ve had a lot of stock to work through and have been focused on lowering my prices to move that stock out of the warehouse so to speak. It does no good to just keep it all hanging around forever. I’m still pretty happy with these profit margins, combined with my crafting profits (TSM doesn’t keep record of those) it was a good week over all. I imagine as we keep going through Season 3 things may slow down a bit, but we’ll just have to see.

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

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.
