Places I like to Farm - Episode 1

Sometimes I still like the old school way of making gold, you know, by just killing stuff and picking up the loot. I know right, who does that anymore? Well, I do, sometimes. So cozy up with your favorite blanket, grab yourself something yummy to drink and let's head out to one of my favorite farming spots.

Tonight we are going to take a trip over to Vareesa Windrunner in the Townlong Steppes.

Once there, pop into the portal and head out to the Isle of Thunder. Upon arrival check out the assignment map accept the pve quest and talk to Vareesa again. Today's quest is going to take us over to The Court of Bones. Captain Elleane Wavecrest has a quest for us as well as does Warmage Yurias. Theses daily quests are subject to change, but really any quests on the isle will do.

Before we begin chug a potion of luck for extra treasures!

If you have quests to do before you hit the first little quest hub go ahead and do those along the way. While killing Shan'ze, before heading to the Court of Bones, a Key to the Palace of Lei Shen dropped! So we'll get to what to do with that in a moment.

At the Court of Bones Narasi Snodawn and her posse have a few extra quests available to us as well so grab those up and let's get farming! When farming and questing in this area I like to grab as many mobs up as I can while sprinting to the next mob. I using Blade Flurry, Fan of Knives and as many cooldowns as I can to burn them down as soon as possible.

While killing and questing on the Isle keep an eye out for these little beautiful Treasure boxes just laying around waiting for you to loot them.

Okay all of our quests in this area are done now on to using that key. Head to the Bleak Hollow and talk to

to Taoshi. She will let you in to the Thunder Kings Treasure Palace. Inside there are a few different ways to approach this place. I like to open as many treasure chests as I can in the first room and once all those are open go on to the next. I find generally if you just focus on the chests themselves rather than getting to the end of the palace in the 5 minute time limit, that I usually end up with more gold.

If you picked up any Burial Trove Keys along the way use them to open up the bonus chests at the end before leaving the Thunder King's Trove.

Once you've got those quests completed head back to Jaina for one last quest for today to get yourself an Arcane Trove,

All that only took about 25 minutes so let's see how we made out.

Gold from looting  + greys sold  - 602 gold

Greens Looted - 335 gold

Windwool Cloth - 99 gold

Exotic Leather - 22 gold

Black and White Trillium 38 + 48

Total - 1144 gold

Valor - 30

Kirin Tor Offensive Insignia - 3

Lesser Charms of Good Fortune - 19

Elder Charms of Good Fortune - 2

Mote of Harmony - 21

While there are faster gold methods around, this one seems to still be pretty profitable in my opinion, plus it's nice to get out into the world sometimes and do a few quests.

Hope you guys give this method a shot, if you're looking for a different way to make some gold. 

Love you lots, like always, little gold goblins and gnomes.

Until tomorrow,

Turbos

Happy Linksgiving!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and as is usual in the world of awkward family thanksgiving dinner conversations it's that time to talk about what we are thankful for. So here are a few of my favorite gold making (and WoW in general) resources, that I for one am very thankful for.

The Undermine Journal - This resource is great! You plug in your faction and realm and you can see at a glance what great deals are currently available for you on your local Auction House

The Consortium - If you want to see where some of the greatest minds in the gold making community hang out, stop by the forums here. (especially the professions and auction house sub forums)

Elvinelol - One of my favorite members of not only the gold making community, but the wow community as a whole. Phenomenal forums with some extremely indepth tips and trick for the transmog market. If you've ever got a spare moment, see if you can catch him on Twitch. It's always a blast in his channel.

Phat Lewts - A great gold blogger who always has interesting ideas and questions for the community.

Just My Two Copper - When I first started really wanted to dip my toe into making gold, I loved reading JMTC. This was one of the first big sites with indepth info on how to make gold, now there are a lot of guest bloggers featured here, who still come up with some great new ideas.

Gold Capped (WoW Insider) - I try to visit WoWInsider everyday. They have a great little community built around the sight with some terrific bloggers. Though the site is mainly a general WoW community blog there are a lot of interesting articles and ideas kicked around throughout the blog that spark tons of new gold making ideas. I personally enjoy any article by ShadesoGrey or Matt Rossi in particular.

Power Word: Gold - Jim has some great YouTube tutorials and videos. He's got a fun personality and can teach anyone the ins and outs of TSM.

/r/woweconomy/ and /r/WoWGoldMaking/ - These are a couple little fantastic little Reddit Communities that are always around to help you with advice or answer a few questions.

Ashayo and ElJeppy - Exquisite podcasters formally of the amazing Aprillian's CtrlAltWoW and now hosts of the WoWGeekly podcast. While these two don't focus on gold making per se they do always have unique views and occasional out of the box tips on how to add a few extra gold to your own coffers.

Wowhead - the best resource around for general WoW knowledge. Need to know where something drops, who drops it, what it does. Visit Perculia's Wowhead!

Ctrl Alt WoW - As I mentioned before this podcast's true focus is on community and the individual WoW player. Aprillian has brought to the WoW community in general a unique perspective that fosters love and acceptance better than any other community I have seen. While not a true gold making resource there is usually 2 or 3 tips that will help you play better or give you a different perspective on how to play per episode, not to mention you'll always be in a better mood by the end of the podcast!

The Instance - Scott Johnson's baby, if not the first, this is the biggest World of Warcraft community established. He really gave the community a voice and a reason to stay together no mater what part of life you're in, in game or out of game. Every episode has a touch of polish and professionalism that is unheard of in free entertainment. His creative and entertaining views, opinions and discourses along with the always funny Turpster and hearthpro Dills always will have a huge place in the WoW community. This podcast doesnt focus on gold making, but most of the foundation of the WoW community these days is thanks to this show and the always talented Scott Johnson.

Press Y Podcast - Relatively new on the wow podcasting scene, the lovely and talented Remedeez along with hilarious and always knowledgeable sidekicks kageofhell and dunlock are truly a refreshing, honest and sincere blessing to the WoW community. This podcast is going through some changes and I look forward to whatever content these 3 continue to bring.

Realm Maintenance - This years WoW community MVP Rho has brought the semi splintered wow community together in a way that no one previously had. Through hard work and dedication Rho presents all aspects of the wow community in a fresh light consistently every week.

Your WoW Money - I personally just started listening to this podcast a few weeks ago, and am really enjoying listening to Lady Havah and Kero on their weekly gold making adventures.

All Things Azeroth - Another big staple in the community. I only a few months ago started listening to ATA, but have enjoyed every episode. It's always exciting to hear what Medros will say next, and of course how Rho will take it. The give and take between these two really makes the show.

Azeroth Roundtable - Ben and Jon are so full of energy and new ideas. They don't mind bringing up controversial topics and really threshing out new ideas and solutions for problems and issues in WoW. No matter the topic they'll make you interested!

Olivia Grace and the Gamebreakertv Nation - Still new to these guys, but the few episodes I've seen are very entertaining and great to have on in the background while slogging through those long nights in the Auction House.

TradeChat - The cutest and most energetic source of happy positive WoW energy around. If you haven't watched an episode of her show you are missing out!

Nobbel - Nothing to do with gold making at all, but if you'd like to have any idea what is going on in the story behind the world you're making money in, listen to him.

Necroxis - Another great WoW story teller who loves to bring up controversial subjects and ideas. His rants are a must see along with the lore of course!

MMO Champion - Great source of data mined info. If you want to get a sneak peak at stuff before it's announced or released go visit them!

NevAH - A fairly new gold blogger, to myself at least, but I love getting her gold idea updates in my email!

Convert To Raid - (In the deep sultry voice of Koltrane) Fortune Cookie Say... You should listen to them!

Alright, I know that's a ton of info to throw at you at once, but since it's Thanksgiving weekend, I wanted to say thanks to all these wonderful resources. Every link or person mentioned on this page is truly a blessing to this community. Each one of them at some point in time has made me laugh, smile, play or at least think differently and all of them have a special place in my heart. I know I haven't listed all the people I want to, but this list would go on for days, and I'm sure as soon as I press publish I'll remember 30 more. So with that in mind I just wanted to say to all the people on this list, and all the people that are reading this, Thank you. I appreciate you. You're awesome and super special and the world wouldn't be the same without you. So like I always say,

I love you little gold goblins and gnomes.

Until tomorrow

Wednesday Weekly Wrap Up!

I know I say this every week, but seriously this week has gone by faster than any other! You may have noticed a new header on the site. I finally had a little bit of free time even though it seems like I've had less free time this week to do anything. So I hope you like it. I plan on adding a lot more Illustration and hopefully get some video guides here in the upcoming future. 

Alas I ramble, let's take a look at what this week has been like in Gold making.

This week started with a guide on setting up your own shirt making business. (which, by the way, this week alone earned an extra 800+ gold). 

We then looked at the benefits of doing your daily Bling! (hit some pretty good drops on Blingtron this week as well two or three gray items that vendored for 75+ gold each)

We hit up the meat of this week's gold tips with the Hows and Whys of your very own farm.

Following that we took a look at how to set up your own Macros and learned a few of my favorites.

Lastly we spent a little while looking into selling your own Sky Golems and avoiding the Auction House when you can.

Before we look at what the rundown was for how much gold earned this week. I wanted to mention one tip to try and do in the next few days, that is Pilgrim's Bounty. Doing the quests isn't really going to net you a profit or make you a ton of gold, but if you want to level your cooking on one, or more, of your characters super quickly and very inexpensively this is your chance. I took Turb out for about and hour, got 4 or 5 xp bubbles and leveled his cooking from 1 to 326 and it only cost around 50gold. So if you have an alt that you'd like to get cooking on this is the way to do it. Don't forget to wear your Celebration Package Tabard as well for a little extra xp boost. 

(If you have a pet that doubles as a cooking fire now's a good time to use them!)

This week's profits netted to just around 60k gold. Not a bad week. My personal playtime was a bit less with the holidays this week and all, plus the times I could login varied from my usual schedule which if I were to guess cost me around 5-8k gold in missed opportunities. That being said I did get a chance to make a bit more on the late night market than I usually do, so perhaps I gained some new customers or acquaintances that I might not have had otherwise, which could lead to more profits down the line. Shirts seemed to sell better this week than last. I didn't sell hardly any Mysterious Fortune Cards. I couldn't keep Potions of Luck or Shoulder Enchants in stock at all this week. Potions of Luck prices seemed to be dropping as well, but selling better than I've seen in weeks. Glyphs were pretty steady overall Alliance side. Horde side seems to really favor a few glyphs and they sell fast with lots of excess stock on other glyphs. I'll have to keep a better record and stock balance if I wanna not miss any opportunities there.

Love you lots little gold goblins and gnomes!

Until tomorrow,

Happy Pilgrim's Bounty!

Jard is so Peculiar!

I had a buyer for quite some time wanting my next Sky Golem. Yes, that's right a buyer! This way you can avoid the Auction House cut, and end up with more gold in your pocket! Unfortunately, my availability and hers have been off a bit. Luckily we both managed to slip on at the same time in the same place and make the transaction happen. 

If you've been keeping up with your daily cooldowns, make sure and mail all the excess Living Steel you have to your Engineer who has been faithfully doing the Jard's Peculiar Energy Source cooldown.

Now run over to your favorite local Forge, mine is the one next to Cullen Hammerbrow, and get to crafting.

Now that we have it crafted. Go meetup with whoever is next on your list for available Golems or put it up on the Auction House and collect your 30k gold!

Love you like always little gold goblins and gnomes!

Until tomorrow,

These are a few of my favorite Macros!

Sometimes, when you are making gold you are going to have to do a lot of the same thing over and over again. So one thing that I find that helps to streamline that process is the use of Macros.

What is a macro? A macro is basically allowing 1 button to simulate pressing a few buttons. Let's learn how to make a macro. First hit your escape key on your keyboard. This will pop up a window and you'll hit the "Macro" Button.

Now that we've opened the macro menu you are going to create a new macro, so hit the "New" button, give your macro a name, and pick an icon that looks cool for it!

Now insert the specific Macro text you want, hit the "Save" button and drag the icon on to your action bar!

Fantastic! You now know how to make a macro. So, let's learn a two of my most used macros! Sometimes you'll need to cancel an auction, either because someone undercut you and you want to relist it to be the best price, or because you decided you want that item. Let's learn a quick and easy way to cancel a lot of auctions. Open your macro menu and create a new macro. In the macro commands window type this:

/click AuctionsCancelAuctionButton

/click StaticPopup1Button1

The best most efficient way is just to copy and paste the above into the macro command window. Save it and throw it on your action bar!

Since we have this new awesome button on our action bar this is going to make cancelling auctions super easy! Cancelling auctions will now only take 1 click and 1 button press. As seen below, click to select the item you want to cancel then press the button (3 in this case) associated with the cancel auction macro you just created. Boom! The auction is canceled! This method saves you 2 extra clicks and mouse moves per canceled auction, which if you have a lot of auctions you want to cancel can add up to quite a bit of time.

As I've mentioned in the past my main source of gold flow comes from glyphs, and while their prices are slowly going down a bit since the release of 5.4 they still sell quite a bit, so I find myself, when I don't have as much time on my hands to farm them, low on herbs quite a bit. My average price that I still make a pretty good profit from is 30g per stack of 20 of any Pandaren herbs. Tonight someone put up some Silkweed for around 28 gold so I bought them all out. Now I just need to mill them. That can be a hastle so let's look at a macro that can really help us out! 

So get back into your Macro window and create another new macro. This one you are going to want to paste the following:

#show Green Tea Leaf

/cast Milling

/use Green Tea Leaf

Then as long as you have more than 5 Green Tea Leaf in one of your bags it will mill them for you just by doing 1 simple button press. Now if you have say 23 Green Tea Leaf take the 3 leaves and move them to one of your last bags so that the stack of 20 comes before the stack of 3. If the stack of 3 comes before the 20 you will get an error and it won't mill them for you.

Well don't you little gold goblins have a keen eye. Silkweed was on sale today, not green tea leaves. So we need to mill those herbs instead. Easy fix. Just open that Macro window again and Delete the Green Tea Leaf from the last line and type Silkweed or Snow Lily or whatever herb you need to mill in that spot instead. 

#show Green Tea Leaf

/cast Milling

/use Snow Lily

Voila! This is going to save you a bunch of time. So now you can just watch some youtube videos while pressing your "4" key or whatever spot you have your macro on in your action bar, and mill away in peace.

Love you as always little gold goblins and gnomes!

Until tomorrow,

Why Farm?

Yesterday we talked about how to farm, and discussed a little bit about why you should farm, so let's break it down even more. 

Starting off with our Cactus farm, we have a lot of Windwool cloth!

Let's convert it into product we can sell. We can create 1 Imperial Silk, which is 1/12 of the mats needed for a Royal Satchel. Royal Satchel's sell for around 4100 gold so that equates to about 341g from the Imperial silk. Next we can create 1 Celestial Cloth, which is 1/28 of a pair of Leggings of the Night Sky. Those legs sell for around 14,000g which would make the Celestial Cloth equal to about 500g each. We still have 10x Bolts of Windwool Cloth left over and their going rate is 10g per bolt and 1 solitary Windwool cloth with a value of around 2 gold. So putting that into my brain-o-matic machine that makes our Windshear Cactus Farm worth roughly 943 gold a day.

Next stop is our Enigma Farm!

Looks like a rough crop patch today. I love the days when I log on and see Golden Lotus everywhere! 

Anyways let's see what our haul got us today. Since my Enigma Seed Farmer is also my Alchemist I always do my Living Steel cooldown first. We'll get back to how we got the mats for the steel in a second. What we ended up with was 4 Golden Lotus which we turned into 4 Potions of Luck. Each one auctions for about 60g a piece (55-90g depending on the day). We still have a smattering of left over herbs including 15 Silkweed, 11 Snow Lily, 2 Rain Poppy, 4 Fool's Cap, and 11 Green Tea Leaf . Now for these you could make them into potions, but I mail them off to my Inscriptionist to keep up my stock of inks.

Our last farm visit is our Snakeroot Farm.

This one can vary sometimes so you might have to do a little mining of your own. Today we netted 20x Ghost Iron Ore which turned into 10 Ghost Iron Bars that means we can make 1x Jard's Peculiar Energy Source. This is 1/60 of the mats required to make a Sky Golem so that puts its value at around 500g.

We also ended up with enough trillium ore to make 4 trillium bars that we can mail back to our Alchemist to use to make the Living Steel. I know it takes a few more, but there are going to be days when you mine for mats and days when you don't have time, so I usually find that I have enough left over mats for whatever little bit I might require for either the Jard's or the Living Steel cooldowns daily.

Back to the Inscriptionist let's turn those herbs into something useful! All the herbs combined turned into enough Pigments to equal around 11 Ink of Dreams and 2.5 Starlight inks. This means we could make around 3 glyphs for about 50gold average each (4g to 900g) and just a little shy of 1 shoulder enchant which normally sell for 150+ gold so investing enough extra in mats to make one would still give us about a 100g profit.

Let's add this all up! I'm gonna low ball this too to get a low average profit just in-case sales are off for the day. 

Cactus Farm (with tailor) - 940 gold

Enigma Farm (with alchemist / inscription) - 460 gold

Snakeroot Farm (with engineer / alchemist) - 939 gold

Overall, if we do this everyday (because it's not going to bring this amount in everyday, but rather an average if you keep up the cooldowns) we can net around 2300g just from doing the farm and our profession dailies. As far as overall time invested to do this, it's around 8 to 10 minutes per character. So in roughly 30 minutes a day of farming you end up with a pretty decent return.

Love you little gold goblins and gnomes!

Until tomorrow,

How to Farm!

One of the best quick and easy money makers these days is the farm! While it's not going to be what makes you your millions of gold, it's a pretty fast way to turn around a few gold, or at least get the mats you need for your profession dailies.

Let's take a look at the farm. Fly out to Halfhill in the Valley of the Four Winds and try not to get ganked in the process.

Great we have 16 crops ready to harvest. (Your farm might not look like this just yet, but bare with me I'll get a how to unlock your farm post up sometime soon.) Let's get to it! I like to stand right in the middle of 4 plots so I can reach 4 different plots without having to move at all (saves time). If you learn the right spots you only have to go to four different places to harvest all of your crops.

During the process of harvesting your crops you might have to pull some weeds. They're pretty harmless and only take a few seconds. So jump on one and spam the number 1 key.

You might also come across some plots that say Occupied. Ignore those for now. Get your plow out and lets start tilling this land so we can plant more crops. Now the most efficient way to plow is a sort of weave pattern where you start one direction then go back the other again and again.

Alright we got our soil plowed! Great job! Oh ya do you remember that Occupied plot? Well, when we plowed we just about killed that ugly little virmen living there, but not all the way. So head back over there and bop it on the head! Then till that plot again by hand.

Time to get planting, but wait! We need seeds! So head over to Merchant Greenfield in the little bazaar behind your farm and pick up a pack of whatever kind of seeds strikes your fancy.

(Truba is a tailor so she likes the Bag of Windshear Cactus Seeds)

Now back to the farm! If you stand right in the middle of your farm next to the friendly scarecrow you can plant all your seeds from one nice location!

Now that we've planted all of our seeds we have to tend to them to make sure they can grow so we can harvest them tomorrow. This is my least favorite plant that I have to take care of. Yes you guessed it, The Wild plant! (AHHHHHHHHHHH). He's not that hard you just have to get up to 50 stacks of punching him before he behaves. This means hit the "1" button as much as you can and every time you see a progress bar hit that number 2 button.

The runty plants are pretty easy to tend to you just need to click on them and jump to pull them up (spacebar).

Wiggling and Alluring plants are going to take a while too (well depending on how high your dps is). I like to click on all of them that are up so that you call all the virmen and crows down to kill at once since most characters these days have some sort of cleave or aoe attack the whole process is a bit quicker.

Now we need to spray and water our plants and we should be ready for tomorrow!

Wait a second! What happens if our plants get tangled?! That's my favorite one of all! Mount up, click on the tangled plant and fly away. Pop! Just like that the tangle goes away!

By doing my farm everyday on 3 different characters I am able to do my Imperial Silk and Celestial Cloth cooldown everyday with plenty of Windwool cloth left over by planting Windshear Cactus Seeds. When I plant Enigma Seeds I have usually enough mats to make around 5 Potions of Luck to sell or use and enough mats to make the potions I need for the daily or keep them to turn into Inscription mats. Finally with Snakeroot Seeds I have enough to do a Jard's Peculiar Energy Source and Living Steel cooldown daily.

So for me the farm is a daily necessity to keep a good inflow of mats in order to keep my profession cooldowns up which I can then use to either sell the cooldown items or stock up to make bigger items to sell on the auction house later.

As always, love you little gold goblins and gnomes!

Until tomorrow,

The Daily Bling!

One quick and easy gold making tip that anyone from level 1 to level 90 can do today, is the daily Bling!
This can be done daily per account. (You used to be able to do it once per character, but I think they didn't like people getting so many chances for free daily loot).

This is a really easy way to make some free gold. Head to your local big city (Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Friendly Neighborhood Shrine) and look for a little blue exclamation point.

Who is that adorable little gold spewing robot?! Why it's Mr. Blingtron 4000! If you're an Engineer you can make one for yourself, so you can make this daily quest really easy to access. If you're not, well, as long as you are on a fairly populated server and can visit it during somewhat peak play times you shouldn't have to wait a long time to see a little blue exclamation point. (Make sure and thank your local Engineer for dropping one, and if you are an Engineer don't forget to be awesome, and drop yours, for other not so blingified players to enjoy.

Let's get back to the loot. All you have to do is click on the Blingtron, click complete quest, and he will give you a little present! 

Rip off that wrapping paper and let's see what's inside. Not too shabby we got 2x  Master Healing Potions (use or resell on the Auction house for about 2g a piece), 1x Robot Brew (vendors for 2g), and a Silverwine (vendors for 2s 80 copper). Okay this isn't going to be your bread and butter gold maker, but every little bit of gold made counts! 

Remember you can do this once per day per account so if you have more than one account don't forget to get your free daily present for those characters too!

Not the best luck for the little hunter today. We ended up with 1 Sunkissed Wine (Vendors for 37 copper) and some Paper Zeplins (these aren't really worth auctioning so just throw them at a friend ((or enemy (((insert maniacal laugh)))))) (<- that's a lot of parenthesis). So by now you might be thinking 37 copper is this really worth my time. Well let's take a look at what Blingtron has a chance to give you everyday.

Mama Mia! That is a lot of free Bling! So if you don't think it's worth a little bit of your time to stop by Mr. Blingtron everyday, that's your prerogative. As for me, I'll be opening my presents everyday with a big gold making thank you grin on my face.

Love you little gold goblins and gnomes!

Until tomorrow,

Who needs a Shirt?

A few days ago we talked about dungeon farming to help level alts and get some extra gold in our coffers. One of the ways I like to make money from doing that is by making shirts! Everyone likes shirts! From the Epic Purple Shirt to the lowly starter Footpad's Shirt there isn't anybody who at least at one time has worn a shirt on their character.

So let's look at what setting up a nice little shirt shop entails. Like I said entry into this little shop isn't too hard if you have a tailor and if you are already max level, if not you can start making at least linen shirts at level 1 in tailoring. So it's not that hard to catch up on at least making a few shirts.

Meet Truba! Truba is the oldest character I have that still gets a good amount of play time. She (now he, don't tell her that I faction and race changed her she is still an Undead at heart) was one of the first on Boulderfist to get her Dreadsteed when that quest was still rather hard, but she was pretty stacked being decked out in nearly full Dreadmist (sans the shoulders (stupid Scholomance)). I digress. The point being that I've had this character for a long time and most of the excess cloth I have ends up in her mailbox or sitting in her bank.

So gather together whatever cloth you have and lets roll it up into bolts. 12 hours later, see what you have. Now check and see what shirts you already know how to make.

Click the Filter Tab, then Slots and shirt. Now use whatever spare cloth you have gotten from all those dungeons you've run and now just made into bolts, to make as many of each variety of shirts that you can. Luckily I had enough for enough to make a few of each (with so much more cloth to spare). I would have made more, but seeing how I'm not including a picture of truba's bank you can guess she's a little tight on inventory space. Keep in mind when making shirt's it is easiest to visit (and stay in) your local tailor's shop so that you can buy the necessary threads and dyes you need so you don't have to make a million trips back and forth.

Now off the the Auction House. I'm sure by now you're probably wondering why I really bother with making shirts. You think to yourself is there really any gold in that market, well, let's put our first shirt up for auction and see.

Boom first shirt we listed has a going rate of 354 gold and has been sold at that price for over a few months. Now prices on shirts may vary, due to supply and demand of both the patterns and the shirts themselves, but I can venture to guess that most servers are like the few I sell shirts on and usually you won't have too much competition. After listing all the shirts I could make, the prices of each shirt varied from as much as 499g to as low as 59s. As long as you've got the mats sitting around from running a bunch of dungeons, or are able to pick up the cloth for fairly cheap on the Auction House this market seems to be a win for me.

Okay little gold goblins and gnomes get out there and start making some shirts! Now if you don't have a tailor, go support your local shirt salesman and get yourself some nice new duds.

Love you little gold goblins and gnomes.

Until tomorrow,

~ Turbos

Wednesday Weekly Wrap up!

I can't believe another whole week has just flown by again. Seems like life is just zooming by these days. That being said, let's take a look at what we covered this week in Turbos Gold!

The main theme at the beginning of this week was moving money! We learned how to move money across servers and factions through companion pets, and also how to move money cross faction via the Neutral Auction House.

We touched on one of my favorite strategies, learning the Flip and how to utilize The Undermine Journal.

Postal taught us how to really utilize the Mailbox in a better way.

WoW's 9th anniversary started us talking about farming dungeons for extra loot and xp.

Lastly we focused on what to do with some of the items we get in bulk from dungeon farming in our special on Netherweave.

Overall, we learned a lot of new techniques and touched on some subjects that we can discuss a lot more in-depth soon!

As far as personal gains this week, glyphs were my usual bread and butter selling a lot better on Horde side than Alliance this week. The remaining Mysterious Fortune Cards I had laying around almost sold out selling for 11+ gold this week so better than last. Still these aren't huge sellers, but at this price and movement level they may prove worthwhile after all. Didn't have enough time or mats to really go into more glyphs than the 5.4 ones like I had hoped, but that's a good thing too. I had tons of extra inks laying around last week that I had to restock on Monday, so that hurt this weeks overall profit a little bit, but still more profits to come for next week and the week after. Shoulder Enchants sold faster than I could keep them instock like usual. On top of that for some reason this week my little Shirt empire (which I hope to go into next week) had to be restocked which netted probably an extra 2k gold this week too, up from the usual 200 or so a week I get from them. I might need to start tracking that a bit better (again I hope to get into that business a bit more later this week).

So let's look at what the total gold netted for this week end up being.

Yatta!

That's right we hit the 600k+ gold marker this week! This week's profits ended up being around 60k gold (still a few thousand yet to move over from the Horde side this week) so a few thousand gold better than the week before. Still not as good as the weeks right around 5.4's release, but every improvement is worth it's praise! So keep it going little gold goblins and gnomes! You can do it!

Until tomorrow,

Netherweave, Netherweave Everywhere

So every week for the last, who knows how long I try and run through Black Temple to see if I can get my grubby little rogue hands on those beautiful Warglaives of Azzinoth!

(as you can guess they still didn't drop)

Along with a bunch of greens, some transmog items, and lots of vendor trash, running the Black Temple every week leaves you with tons of Netherweave Cloth! Time to mail it all off to your friendly neighborhood Tailor.

Now let's get to making some bolts! (Aka time to go make some coffee!)

Now that we've got a bajillion bolts, go buy yourself some Rune Thread, and start making a ton of bags!

(Aka time to go refill that cup of coffee)

Now that we have a ton of Netherweave Bags mail them off to your bank alt and start rolling in the gold!

Netherweave Bags always sell so even when you don't want to farm for the cloth yourself if you find it cheap enough on the Auction House buy it out, make your own bags, and list them up for a profit!

Until tomorrow my lovely little gold goblins and gnomes,

Gold for Nothing and Level Alts for Free (running old dungeons)

You've probably done it before ... No not that, but ran lowbies or your alts through dungeons. Did you know that that is a great way to earn some extra gold and level your alts or your friends, and there is no better time to do that than right now.

Today, why today? Well, little gold goblin it's WoW's 9th Anniversary! What does that mean for us gold makers? Go check your mailbox!

That's right everyone gets a Celebration Package! So dust off your profession alts that might be a bit lacking in levels and let's get to farming some old dungeons. 

Tonight's special guest is our, please level me so I can finish leveling my Blacksmithing, Death Knight! So empty your bags, click your Celebration Package, and let's get dungeoning. For a list of dungeons available to you your alt at level check out WoWWiki's Instances by Level page! Turb our wonderful little Blacksmithing Death Knight is currently level 72 so let's head over to Drak'Tharon Keep. I like this dungeon because it's really easy to run through. Even if it's your first time in here you shouldn't get lost or at least too lost :P 

Don't forget to grab whatever mines or herbs are in your dungeon to maximize profits and keep your profession leveling going. 

I was able to do 3 runs of Drak'Tharon Keep in around 30 - 45 minutes (time included for distractions aka twitter >< (and the link at the bottom of this page)). Now let's see what we got out of it. 

Turb leveled from 72-73 and almost hit 74.

50g in raw gold looted

140g from white and vendor trash

85g worth of cloth

90g worth of mining mats

35g worth of disenchanting mats

120g worth of transmog items

and 1 Khorium Lockbox with about 9g worth of disenchanting mats

So overall about 529g in 30-45minutes and an extra level and a half on my profession alt. Not a bad run.

Okay little gold goblins and gnomes, go celebrate WoW's 9th Anniversary by leveling up those profession alts and making yourself some nice gold along the way!

Until tomorrow,

~ Turbos
