[WoW] Back to the Beginning…

In an effort to ‘fake it until you make it’ I decided to dive head first back into World of Warcraft. This is an easy game to do that in, because honestly, nothing changes. There is a main story, some public quests, a weekly quest or two, and the gear grind. I queued up for some raids (which took me 40 minutes to get in as a healer on a Thursday, this is one of my biggest issues with the trinity gameplay of World of Warcraft) and then did some delves, and then also did some Timewalking (which happens to be Battle for Azeroth this week, not my favourite). I upgraded a few pieces of gear, made note that I need to actually work on the story line sometime (remember way back when, I had completed it on my Paladin and then decided not to play her any more) and tried to remember if I even cared about the storyline of Midnight. The answer to that – nope.

Before I knew it time had passed and it was time to get ready for lunch. Was this meaningful gameplay? Not at all. Was it fun? Hmm. I suppose, in a way. It was comfortable, dependable, and exactly what I was expecting from World of Warcraft, despite being ‘away’ for a number of months.

Will I continue? Well. I will make an effort to, but we’ll just have to see. The more I play other games like GW2 and even to some degree, EQL, the less I enjoy having to rely on others to provide the trinity in order for me to get anything done in game. Now, I know you do not HAVE to do all of the things that require a trinity, but then it feels a bit like you’re missing out and you are absolutely shuffled towards that method of gameplay. It’s just not really for me any more.

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

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 27 (2026)

Well, this week 6/10 of my WoW servers earned gold which isn’t great but isn’t exactly bad, either. I earned a total of 1.2 million in that time, with 17 sales. I did not post on Saturday or Sunday, which is mostly just because life has been kicking me around, but it’s nice to see a little continuity back in the works.

I did log in expecting to play this week but unfortunately I just could not make things stick and I bounced right back out. So why keep posting sales? Well. Habit, for one, and it’s still something I’m good at, thus I enjoy it. I may not be getting the same pleasure from the game that I used to, but I’m not ready to write it off entirely.

Sales this week were a few patterns, and a lot of smaller transmog items. I’ve managed to restock, so maybe we’ll see some bigger sales in the future.

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

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 25 (2026)

It’s another week where not too much gold making actually happened, but some of that is because I didn’t get to post my auctions the way I had wanted. See, I was swapping from a 48h timer to a 24h timer, and needed to let them expire, and then I waited too long and I wanted to post them in the early morning hours, and not later in the day – so I had to wait until Saturday. I THINK everything is sorted now and it should be all on track.

That means I actually need to log in, of course. I’m thinking that first thing in the morning will be the best time for me to do this. It’s the habit I had built for years, and is simple to remember. I have roughly an hour in the mornings before the house wakes up, and that’s when I get a lot of my blogging / journaling / gaming chores done. Of course this is also the last week of school before summer break, so my mornings will be changing slightly (in a good way, giving me even more free time).

So, this week the profit was 500k, not a huge amount. That’s alright. We’re still earning, and smaller profits add up. Sales this week were a handful of transmog, and nothing special besides that. As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 24 (2026)

Well, sales are slowly starting back up! I’ve opted to go every 24h again instead of 48h (the change hasn’t happened yet, but it will) and I almost made 1 million gold profit again. Not as much as I usually make, but I am still getting back into the swing of things (and I do still need to restock, I keep putting it off because it’s a lot of work).

Most of the sales this week were smaller recipes and a few sprinklings of transmog – nothing overly expensive, and that’s OK. Sales came from all 10 servers, with Azgalor (my home server) taking the lead once again. Let’s see what next week brings as I get back into static gold making habits.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 23 (2026)

OK so I haven’t quite made it back to selling on a regular basis yet, but I’m attempting to. The problem is I’m not really feeling World of Warcraft right now – but I do want to keep sales up, so I’ve got my auctions set to 48h which is a schedule I am simply not used to.

Sales were low – half a million gold, which is better than I expected but still pretty low. I’m sure once I get used to the new schedule it will go a bit better, but for now I’m struggling.

That is OK though. Gold making is pretty flexible, and cares more about being consistent than anything else. Here’s hoping I can get back into the swing of things.

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