It was a pretty good week for gold! I think some unique transmogs were sold over on Moon guard which accounted for the largest portion of gold made this week. I did not post steadily, but I also didn’t do any spending so it all sort of worked out.
Well, I almost managed to post every week. This time it was 2.6 million for the week which is a far cry from the 10m that I used to make, but still, not too bad. Slow and steady. Transmog, mounts, pets, and a little be of crafting makes up the gold for this week.
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!
Most tour guides will show you the grand gates of Stormwind, talk about noble kings, heroic statues, and all that very polished, very approved history.
I show you the cheese smuggler.
“Stay close,” I whisper to my group, ushering them down a side alley that absolutely isn’t on any official map. “You see that crate? Marked ‘grain?’ That’s not grain. That’s illegal Dalaran triple-cream. Worth more than gold per wedge. Try not to make eye contact. He can smell curiosity.”
They usually make eye contact.
We leave very quickly.
Next stop is Orgrimmar.
Now, most people will point out the Valley of Strength, maybe say something inspiring about honor. I nod, very respectful. Then I guide my group just slightly off the beaten path.
“Over here,” I say, lowering my voice. “This is where three separate ‘totally legitimate’ businesses are all selling the same crate of ‘fresh’ fish.”
A goblin across the way waves at me.
I wave back.
“Don’t ask how long that fish has been traveling,” I add quickly. “It’s had more adventures than you.”
One of the tourists looks a little green. I hand them a mint.
Finally, I bring them somewhere really educational: Booty Bay.
“Oh, you’ll love this one,” I say, clasping my hands together. “Pirates, trade, exotic goods—very lively! Also, absolutely nobody here pays full price for anything, ever.”
I lead them past a cheerful bar, then subtly point upward.
“You see that window? Third one on the left? That’s where a very famous noble once tried to auction off a ‘cursed love letter.’ Turned out it was just badly written.”
I pause.
“…I may have bought it.”
The group laughs. I don’t clarify.
By the end of the tour, they’ve seen less marble and more… questionable destinations. Which, in my professional opinion, is the real Azeroth.
As we part ways, one of them asks, “How do you know all this?”
I adjust my satchel, offering a perfectly innocent smile.
“Oh, I travel,” I say lightly. “I listen. I notice things most people overlook.”
I pause, then add, just a touch quieter:
“And sometimes… I write them down.”
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.
