Gold Making – Week 32 / 2025

Sales have started to slowly pick up again now that 11.2 is here, and I finally got around to leveling up a bunch of pets to 25, and got a few more alts to 80. I treat all the pets that I sell as a level 1 pet even though they’re all level 25. Number one, it helps push them out the door. Number two, I’m using the pet leveling to level up my alts, since it’s really nice and simple. I don’t price them any differently because I’m not using any tokens or anything, and it’s something I would be doing anyway as it’s my preferred method of leveling.

Pets, transmog, and recipes. A lot more pets than normal since I had over 150 to put out there. My banks are still filled with bush chickens looking for homes, I can’t get rid of those fast enough.

As you can see, I don’t do a lot of sales in a week – 61 items sold for just over 2.4 million gold. The items I do tend to sell are sought after by collectors, and I never know when one is going to wander through. It helps that the collector’s bounty has ended, leaving behind a surplus of transmog in its wake. Me? I’m patient. Items will either sell, or they won’t. Each day I just keep reposting until they do. Sometimes I adjust my TSM operations to include a string where as it racks up expires the item also gets discounted, in case it’s just not moving at all. I use this method in particular on overpriced NLA (no longer available) items that have a regional value of 9 million but would never actually sell for that amount. Eventually it drops down to a value that someone is willing to pay.

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

Thoughts on Delves

Even though I’ve been back to game for a while now, I have not made the rounds of all of the delves available. Plus I know a new one just opened in the new zone (which I have also not done, though I did complete everything else I could possibly do within that zone). Anyone else dragging their heels when it comes to these special instances?

Organizing my Characters

One of my favourite things to do, both in game and out, is organization. It comes as no surprise that I’ve spent a lot of time organizing the login screen of my World of Warcraft account (but it seems to never stay that way, as Blizzard shuffles my characters around quite frequently). I have 4 ‘main’ characters on both alliance and horde (those are the VIP campsites pictured). This covers all of the professions minus gathering (which I hate). Then I have 4 of each class in their own respective campsite, too. Not all of the groups are full at this moment, but ideally, eventually, they might be. Right now I have 4 druids, and 4 hunters outside of the VIPs. Everything else is either 1/2/3 depending on how much I play the class (warlocks and rogues are near the bottom of that list). They’re not all at 80 (yet) but ideally I’ll get them there before Midnight (the expansion, not the time of day).

How do you like to organize your games? Maybe you’re one of the lucky few who don’t have an entire army of alts at your side to try to sort (keep in mind, this is one account out of … many, that I have). Let me know in comments, and as always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

The Latest Twitch Drops

I’ve been trying to be more supportive of twitch streamers lately, lurking when I can’t talk, engaging when I’ve got the time and spare spoons. Right now there’s a twitch giveaway going on for another battle pet – the Shadefur Brewthief. You only need to watch for 4 hours, and you can always mute the tab (don’t mute the actual stream or it won’t count) if you’re not actually interested. I managed to get mine last night, and add it to the collection.

Speaking of collections, I’m sitting at 499 mounts and I’m VERY close to finally obtaining my 500th one. That is a challenge that has been a long time in the works. I’m hoping to focus a bit more on my battle pet ranking, and I’ve also been trying to collect as many recipes as I can. It’s going pretty well so far (thanks to the Data for Azeroth website).

Other then that, I’ve ran through the latest updates for season 3, and I’ll be posting some thoughts about that tomorrow. The first day was pretty buggy for me, personally. I had to log in and out a lot for quest updates and to make certain objectives work. I’m hoping these things get sorted before too long though.

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

The Cusp of Season 3

Am I excited about the start of Season 3 coming to world of Warcraft? Well, yes and no. I have been away from the game for most of season 1, and a majority of season 2. I’m excited to be around for season 3. It’s nice to be playing again, and I’m hoping to get some 10+ mythics under my belt. I’m not excited about the dungeon choices, and I think they’ll be rough.

I did spend a bunch of time this morning fixing up my banks. I unlocked all of the regular slots, unlocked the reagent tab, and unlocked void storage on any character under 80. This should allow me to swap over seamlessly to the new system. If you’re level 80, you’ll already get these new bank slots, but I have a lot of auction house characters who do nothing except AH stuff. I wanted them to be able to take advantage of the new system. I also removed anything that was in those banks because last time Blizzard messed with the guild bank system I ended up losing millions of gold worth of items and they never returned them to me. Not fun.

Aside from doing a few more quests to get my ilevel as high as I could (within reason) before the season starts, and fixing up the bank stuff, I haven’t bothered with much else. I did try to get a few achievements that I knew was going away (rk11 delves, etc) but I didn’t go out of my way to complete EVERYTHING. I might put forth more effort into that going forward into season 3, but we’ll see. Anyone else out there doing anything fancy to get ready? Let me know in comments – as always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
