Gaming WoW Gold Making

Weekly Gold Making Wrap Up [Sept10-Sept17]

stargrace 0Comment

I’ve been back to world of warcraft ‘full time’ for two weeks now, and this week I made 5 million gold in profit, which was just lovely. I’m spending approximately 1h each day keeping this going, I don’t want to invest any more time than that. I’m currently spread across 20 servers, with one being my ‘main’ server (which is also low population, and thus very slow sales).

I haven’t been doing too much crafting, but that’s on the list. My evoker (current main) needs to switch from 2 harvesting professions to at least one crafting, there’s just not enough ‘stuff’ for me to do on that character. I’m having a blast playing her, and I11’m just shy of finally reaching my 2k rating for M+ this season. I’m at 1755, with plenty of dungeons left to go.

In any case, it’s good to be back playing, it’s nice to be making gold, and I’ve been lurking in the WoW Economy discord again to see what everyone is investing in. I’ve got about 300 pets to level (oof) and finding the time to do everything has been the most difficult part.

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

Collecting Mounts (#352)

I’ve been trying to get to 500 mounts for the achievement, but it’s pretty slow going (let’s face it, I don’t work on it nearly as much as I could). This weekend I managed to grab a few, starting with mount number 532, the Domesticated Razorback. I was really close to exalted faction with Steamwheedle “preservation” Society, so I did a little bit of farming and then used my apex crystals to buy the mount (I had 61k, I think from my garrison over the years). It was a quick mount to pick up, even if it isn’t the best looking one out there.

I haven’t had a lot of spare time, but I did manage to get the 2nd side of the house completely done with stonework, yay! One more side to go, and then I’ll give it all a good paint. I’m also looking into making the roof wood tile, I bought miter scissors which take some getting used to but slice through popsicle sticks pretty easily. I have two types of wooden sticks, one more like stir sticks which I’ll probably use to design the floor. I’ll also have to give a thought to the inside walls, I haven’t decided what I want to do there yet. For now, the outside remains the focus.

Progress on the sleeves! I have four more repeats of 5 rows then I’m on to the ribbing (then I need to repeat the entire thing for the other sleeve) – once those are done, all that’s left is to finish the yoke and this sweater will be done. If I dedicate a little bit of time for it each day, I’m hoping I can finish it before the end of the month. We’ll just have to see how that goes. Normally I knit in the evenings, but I have been so tired I haven’t had the energy to do too much. My kid is in love with the colours, and she may get a year or two of use out of it I hope before she out grows it, as kids tend to do.

Weekly Gold Making Wrap Up [Aug28-Sept4]

After life decided to toss me around a bit, I’m back in World of Warcraft – back to making gold, and just playing the game and enjoying myself. Last week was the first week I managed to get items back up for sale, and with a 2.5 million gold profit I’m pretty pleased. Today (Tuesday the 5th) is of course the drop of 10.1.7 and a scheduled 8h downtime is taking place, so I didn’t bother re-listing yet. I’ll either do it tonight once servers are back up, or I’ll catch it tomorrow morning. I tend to list my items for 24h at a time since I’m on daily, and it takes me approx. 1h to list everything across 20 NA servers.

I did also manage to get most of my crafting done for the week. I have four characters working on this, and my latest ‘main’ (an evoker) is my gathering character. I don’t spend a lot of time gathering, but every once in a while I enjoy it. I’m looking for small ways to challenge myself and to keep myself interested without feeling overwhelmed, and I think sticking to a solid main is part of that challenge. It has been years since I’ve settled down with a main, and something I’ve always envied about other players who somehow managed to stick with just one character that they love.

In any case, gold making continues to be the driving force behind my time in Warcraft. The cost of the token on NA has shot up over 320k per (at the time of this post) and yet I still managed to pick up a few and extend my game time. I’m planning on keeping both accounts active since I do sales on one and play on the other. I’ve been leveling up some alts (on the alliance side of things this time) and over all, it just feels good to be back in game. It’s almost fall, the weather should hopefully be cooling down soon, and there’s something to be said for just being able to relax with a comforting game that you know pretty well.

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