[Casual Gold Making] Fishing Update

stargrace December 30, 2023 No Comments

A few more hours of fishing down, and the GPH has been fairly steady, 2 hours of fishing gives approximately 10,000-12,000 gold depending on when you sell. Here’s the first post about fishing I posted yesterday if you’re interested in my set up. Keep in mind I am not optimizing when I sell the fish, obviously when there are weekly quests up and when raids are happening the price does increase. I’m using fishingbuddy (addon) to track my fishing, the grey numbers are prior attempts, the white ones are the current session. The price of fish also tends to ebb and flow depending on how many bots are active. You can always tell when Blizzard has done a ban wave. The price of recipes is abysmal on my server, but I keep hoping that something of value drops. Still, it DOES add up, and it’s an incredibly casual way of making some gold. If you’ve already completed your world quests, tying in a little bit of fishing MIGHT be enough to get you that token.

Next week we’ll take a look at fishing in Shadowlands – in specific, we’re going to go after the Strange Goop item (it’s required for a mount) and see what the GPH looks like for that.

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

[Casual Gold Making] How Much GPH is Dragonflight Fishing?

stargrace December 29, 2023 No Comments

It’s time for a new challenge! Thanks to inspiration from this reddit post, along with talking to a fellow gold maker CanadiaTV, (be sure to check him out) I decided to see how much gold you can casually make from fishing – starting with Dragonflight. I decided NOT to min/max this activity, so I have NOT taken everything from the reddit post into account. I’m sure you can up that gph slightly by min/maxing it. Below is the gear I’m sporting.

Khaz’gorite Fisherfriend (rk4) enchanted with + Perception
Master’s Wildercloth Fishing Cap
+5 fishing gloves

I am also using a lure for Islefin Dorado.

I’m using the addon ‘Fishingbuddy’ to track what I catch. I’ve been fishing by the Dragonscale Basecamp because it has the LEAST amount of ‘extra’ stuff in the fishing table. Each hour I cast between 210-250 times, so for the purpose of this post, we’ll say I’ve been fishing off and on for approximately 15 hours (3898 casts so far). I do about 2h of fishing every 2 or 3 days, Moving forward I’ll post statistics for every 2h of fishing, just to keep things neat / tidy.

In 15h my total gold earned is roughly 94,162g which puts GPH at around 6,277g – this could be SLIGHTLY higher / lower if recipes are selling well on your servers, on mine I haven’t gotten any ‘good’ recipes of note in 15 hours of fishing. It’s also important to note that you should be selling when islefin dorado is in demand – that means from the weekly quest in Emerald Dream, as well as when raiders are looking for the fish. It’s not fantastic GPH, but it is pretty relaxing, requires almost zero brain power, and can be good to do if you’re watching TV or if you’re like me and sometimes have limited mobility.

Dungeon Dive: 100 Runs of Sunwell Plateau (51-60)

stargrace December 27, 2023 No Comments

Another week, another 10 runs of Sunwell Plateau under our belts! This marks 3h spent in the zone (30m each group of 10 runs), and in actual gold earned from sales (plus raw gold drops) my 61 speed druid is looking at a total of 155,999g which means the GPH is 51,999g – not too shabby for a single character running a single dungeon. You might remember that the last run rewarded VERY little, hence the lower GPH this week. It all depends on RNG and what sells vs. what does not sell. Here’s the overall stats to date:

Total approx gold earned (runs 1-60): 905,389
Actual amount earned from sales to date: 155,999g
Actual amount of GPH: 51,999g
Value of items listed on the AH: 137,451g

Last week we only had 44k worth of items on the AH, so it’s nice that we added a few items of note this week (two schematics, one for goggles which are used in an achievement). This isn’t the best gold farm in the world by any means, but it is nice and simple with a low barrier of entry.

Keep in mind you may be able to make more / less gold on your own server, the items I’m selling are NOT commodity, therefor they ARE server specific. I’m playing on a high population server in NA, and prices are quite all over the place (usually on the lower side of things) but sales are far more steady than if I were on a low population server. You’ll have to try different methods out, and see what works for you.

Doing SOMETHING to make gold in game is at least a better option than doing nothing at all (if you’re going after gold, at least). As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Dungeon Dive: 100 Runs of Sunwell Plateau [21-30]

stargrace November 15, 2023 No Comments

We’re on 1h30m of gold making after 30 runs of Sunwell Plateau, and this is what LootAppraiser has told us the potential gains have been:

1-10: 122,091g (estimated)
11-20: 252,247g (estimated)
21-30: 253,737g (estimated)

Total: 618,075g (approx: 412,050g per hour)

Actual amount earned to date: 35,229g (approx: 23,486g per hour)

Amount still on the auction house: 272,155g

The numbers of actual gold earned vs. estimated gold earned are VASTLY different – but – making 20k an hour (give or take) may not be a horrible investment of time if you’re enjoying what you’re doing. I did pick up a fair number of recipes this past run, so we’ll have to see where sales go in the future. Keep in mind this is on a high population server and your own gains may be lower or higher than the TSM region market value average that I’m using as a price point.

Dungeon Dive: 100 Runs of Sunwell Plateau [11-20]

stargrace November 8, 2023 No Comments

Last week I did my first 10 runs of Sunwell Plateau, and LootAppraiser told me I had a looted item value of 122091g in 30 minutes. This week I ran another 10 dungeons, and LA gave me 252,247g in valued items. In actuality, with sales, I’ve earned 436g (that’s the raw gold from this week) plus 7,757g (that’s how much everything sold for this week) plus the 483g in raw gold from last week. That brings me to a total of estimated looted: 374,338g in 1h of farming. Actual gold earned with raw + sales: 8,676g. Now, earning 8,676g in an hour of farming isn’t exactly THAT bad, but it sure isn’t that great, either – and it’s a far cry from what LootAppraiser claims I’ve made. The plus side is that I do also have a lot of stock – and that has value even though it hasn’t sold yet. Right now my stock value is:

Now if those items sell, that would be fantastic. Even if a small number of it sold it would be great. Right now though we’re just sitting on stock hoping it sells, with a total of less than 10k gold per hour.

We’ll just have to see what next week brings!
