The month isn’t quite over yet, but we started at 1,520,000 gold and ended at 1,680,000 – if I keep that up I’ll fail the challenge, but I haven’t been playing a great deal, and sniping only got a few items. I’m hoping that February will be better with more sales but that also means I’ll have to be more active. Lack of time, is always what I’m coming up against. I only have so much time in a day.
Even though I haven’t written about it as diligently as I would have hoped, I am still working on earning 5 million gold in 365 days. Last night happened to be one of those great mailboxes that really make me smile. Right now the token on North American servers is sitting at 117,000 gold – so in a single night I made more than enough for a month of game time. My account is actually paid for the next 6 months, but I am hoping that I can reach 5 million as well as cover the subscription with gold for the next year (or longer). Of course that requires actually playing the game a bit and not just logging in to refresh my sales.
I had becoming a bit disheartened with my lack of sales over the past week, but I spent some time in the TSM4 discord and I am really glad I did. Hopefully this marks the end of my dry spell, and tomorrow’s mailbox looks even better.
Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
I bought this 385 mythic item for 38k – and I’m hoping to flip it, but lately sales have been slow so we’ll just have to see how it goes. I can’t say that I’m actively playing BFA right now because I spend most of my time in the auction house, but at least it’s something. I keep meaning to do this or that, but instead I end up falling asleep, such is the way of parents with toddlers.
I’ve had a hard time figuring out what to sell since the release of BFA. I was rolling in money just before the expansion came out. Transmog was slow but steady, crafted was OK, and I was able to pick up a number of great items to flip.
Since the release my luck has fallen and I find it much more difficult. Whether it’s because I’m not playing WoW quite as much (possibly) or because the market has shifted and left me behind (probably) I’m not sure, but I am curious to find out what does actually sell on my small low population roleplay server.
So far crafted goods are still doing pretty well, especially BFA craft materials. The problem is I actually need to log in and farm said materials in order to sell them, or find some items to flip.
Either way, slow and steady is the way I’ll win this 5 million gold race (with myself). Making 13k a day is my minimum to surpass 5 million in 365 – a goal that’s still very much obtainable.
I said I was going to be pretty casual about earning my 5 million gold, but I didn’t expect to be QUITE this casual. We’re 12 days in to my 365 days to 5 million gold, and I’ve only earned 23,000 gold. There’s a pretty good reason for that, and it’s simply because I haven’t been playing WoW nearly that much. I haven’t been logging in to restock my market, I haven’t been crafting, I’ve basically just been logging in twice a week to re-set things and even then it has been a halfhearted attempt because I’ve had other real life things on the go.
Thankfully I do have a 1.5 million gold head start. That means even I earn nothing, I should still (hopefully) be ahead the 322,000 gold I “need” by the end of January. As long as I’m staying ahead of the curve, I feel pretty good about things. The problem is if every month is like January eventually that will catch up with me, and I’ll be behind.
What I’d like to do is get back into some farming and crafting. Maybe pick up some pets to sell on the AH. Ultra casual methods that won’t require a lot of time, but should leave me with a little bit more profit than I’m seeing when I do absolutely nothing (lol, funny how that works).
Lets see if we can pick it up the rest of January and February!
