What's New In Gold Making for MoP?

Professions

I have been struggling with leveling a Death Knight and gearing him for PVP and Raiding while leveling my warlock who was moved to a new server alone with only Enchanting and Tailoring. My Death Knight hs some other lvl 85 toons to help make gold. The real trick is to get all your craters to level 90 though.

My main gold maker honestly is Tailoring and Enchanting. I am still forced to farm the Embersilk since hte price is so high due to the need for bags. the best and cheapest/easiest bags to get for the quantity of items you can fit in inventory and banks are Embersilk Bags and Illusionary Bags. Now the Illusionary Bags aren't so bad because you can make as many Dream Cloth as you want with Chaos Orbs since the Destruction Dream Cloth has no CD. The cloth is easily farmed with a Potion of Treasure Finding which these days are cheap and easy to make as well. the bags on my server sell for about 2.5k gold to 4k gold. Embersilk Bags themselves sell for around 300g-400g. Now as a Tailor you have access to an endless supply of cheap as hell Windwool Cloth which can be used to create all sorts of greens to D/E for Enchanting materials which can be used to sell raw or make enchant scrolls. I suggest doint some research on all mat prices and finished crafted items before deciding what to sell and at what price.

My inscriptionist is making plenty of the Fortune Cards themselves using a crafty barking method (Advertisement) i learned from PowerWordGold.net. These "scratch off tickets" sell for about 8-15g each and are easily able to obtain or make for a cheap price. The rest is making sure to learn new glyphs to make while you chekc the market each day to find cheap glyphs to reset the price and make a killing off.

Mining has been helping me out a lot with JC but i haven't done much with it yet, if you have any ideas on what would be helpful with Mining and JC please send me your ideas or links to your blog with the idea.

MoP Weapons Shopping Lists To Flip

MoP Weapons Shopping Lists To Flip

I have put together a few simple shopping lists you can import to TSM to help you with finding the right gear to flip. These items are mainly for starting levelers going into the new zones of Pandaria.

For this first list I suggest not to spend more than 50g* for most of these items and try to not post too many at a time. I suggest trying to post over 150g* for not at least, if someone is selling them cheaper for say 80g*, then post just 1 at 199g* or so and wait for the other to sell out (this is one of many ways to try and reset a market).

Uncommon (Green) Quality Weapons: Item Level 364+ (Level 83-85)

s1@82100,82101,82102,82103,82104,82105,82106,82107,82109,82110,82111,82112,82113,82114,82045,82046,82047,82048,82049,82050,82051,82052,82054,82055,82056,82057,82058,82059,82064,82065,82066,82011,82003,81998,82020,82018,82019,82016,82015,82000,82012,82008,82013,82009,82006,82014,82002,82001,82119,82120,82121$@

This next list is worth a bit more than the above list but are still wanted and needed just as much. I would start pricing these at least around 200g* to start with. Make sure again not to spend more than say 50g* or so on each item to ensure profit from flipping.

Rare (Blue) Quality Weapons: Item Level 433+ (Level 83-85)

Now this lovely list of weapons is a bit more special than the last two because of it's special nature. The Quality is Rare and the item level is 409 (much higher than the normal leveling gear that drops in MoP). They are only level 80, which means these are worth a ton of gold to the "Twinks" (PvP people that stop experience gain to stay at a specific level for battlegrounds and other PvP related activities).

I would start pricing these around 750g-1,000g*. Don't get anxious to buy them up though. I wouldn't spend more than 100-200g at most for one of these to flip, due to the special nature of the weapons. These might not sell fast but will make you a good profit if you are lucky.

Rare (Blue) Quality Weapons: Item Level 409+ (Level 80)

Farming To Increase Profits

Farming To Increase Profits

During the time i have played wow as a gold maker i have found that crafting can be profitable and using addons to find out how much you should pay for each mat to make the most profit out of what you are crafting. I realized that some of the addons were very useful but i found myself sitting at the AH all day buying mats to craft more and more. I still have lots of mats sitting in my multiple banks awaiting my return so that i may use them to craft or sell in bulk as raw materials at a profitable margin.

This brings me to the part where i get out of the AH and the city and decide i need to stop spending so much especially for a % of profit. What if..i know this sounds crazy and all but, what if i farmed the mats i needed to make all those scrolls and all those gems and all those glyphs or whatever it is i want to craft to make a few extra copper. Crazy i know, but it just so happens to work and it's not as bad as it sounds. farming = (100% profit) - (time it took you) + (gold saved sitting at ah finding deals on mats). this is not a formula i would use in any strict manner but hey, looks good to me. When you return to the AH and you craft everything and get it all up on the AH you can spend that time you sit on the AH worrying about prices on mats, out and about farming up what is needed to keep the high profits coming in.

I am not saying that it is a bad idea to buy mats off the AH, but i am saying that you can save gold and increase profits by getting out and exploring Azeroth by farming.

If you have any great farming spots you would like share please leave a comment with what material it is and where it can be farmed at, along with any other details you can give such as where you got your info or possible requirements for said farming spots.

A few farming spots i can think of is for starters, Silithus which not only has some great rare spawns to farm transmog gear on the entire map but North West corner at The Crystal Vale, where you can kill air elementals to get Essence of Air which is needed for enchanting to make the BOA, [Enchanting: Enchant Weapon - Agility]. I also enjoy taking a treasure potion and farming in Uldum just west of where you spawn from taking the portal over at Orsis where many air elementals are located. It is a really nice place to farm Volatile Earth at. Both of these materials i have mentioned can be produced by using an Alchemist's Transmutes however the Water to Air transmute is a waste in my opinion unless you have multiple Alchemists as it uses up your daily cooldown on transmute. The Volatile Air can be obtained from [Alchemy: Transmute: Living Elements] by taking 15 Volatile Life and casting your transmute: living elements while on the map of Uldum however you will only get about 15 each time sometimes more sometimes less. I feel this is another waste as i can farm up 40-50+ Volatile Air in one hour of farming at Orsis.

I hope you enjoyed this short tid bit on farming for profit. If you enjoyed it and would like to see me in motion and hard at... *cough cough* work you can find me streaming once in a while at twitch.tv/shannonlasell. Make sure to leave a comment and follow my blog here on Blogger.com and to follow me as well on twitch.tv and twitter.com as well @shannonlasell. Thanks and have a great day/night.

Download _npcscan addon if you don't have it already. You can download it here at Curse (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/npcscan). Once downloaded start going over the steps below to add all rare spawn mobs (to the best of my knowledge is complete and accurate but could be missing a few as there are a lot of rare spawns in the old world).

Adding Rare Spawn mobs to _npcscan:

Copy Code above in the text box.
Open up World of Warcraft Folder and locate: WTF then Account folder then select the account, server and then the character you want to have the list (repeat for multiple toons).
Now open up the SavedVariables folder and select _npcscan.lua file and open it with notepad or a simple text editor.
Select all the text in the file and delete it and replace with the above code.
Now save file.
You now have the rare spawn list added to the specific character you used during the process steps above in Npcscan.

Making sure you don't ever cache another rare spawn after finding one:

Log into Word of Warcraft and make sure you are not near any Rare mob npcs before continuing with the next steps below.
Now log out of World of Warcraft and make sure the login screen or anything is up. (close up all WoW related windows)
Open up "World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB\enUS" (enEU if you are playing on EU servers).
Delete the file named "creaturecache.wdb".
Now log into World of Warcraft.
Now Exit World of Warcraft (this creates a new "creaturecache.wdb" file in the folder.
Right click the file "creaturecache.wdb" and open Properties.
Select the check box "Read-Only" and make sure it is checked.
Now hit apply in the Properties and exit the Properties for that file.
Open up World of Warcraft and start looking for rare npc mobs and happy hunting whatever it is you are looking for. =)

If you have any questions send an email to shannonlasell@gmail.com or send a private message on twitch.tv/shannonlasell if i am not currently streaming. I am more than happy to answer any questions while i stream on Twitch.tv/shannonlasell and i hope this information was useful. Enjoy and Kill some Horde or...i guess if you want Alliance but i would not recommend doing so as the Gnomes are short tempered and might stab your ankles.

Long Term VS Short Term Investment

Long Term VS Short Term Investments

In World of Warcraft

by Shannon Lasell

Hello and i am very sorry for the lack of recent blog posts but i have a special article for you to read today about the difference of long term investment and short term investment and how that can effect your overall profit each day in and out of the auction house. I hear a lot of people complain about how some items do not sell very well and that it is not worth selling, whereas other items are worth selling because they sell very quickly and for a high amount of profit total NET. Now let us step back and think about the negative and positive side to thinking this way and then i will tell you my opinion on what is the best way to make the most profit based on these complaints and opinions of others.

First i want to talk about what is considered a long term investment and what is considered a short term investment in my opinion. A long term investment means that you will buy an item or materials to craft an item knowing that the overall outcome will be indeed profitable with no doubt within a small margin for error and that this item will indeed knowingly sell within a long period of time, which could take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, up to a few week. A short term investment means that you will buy an item or materials to craft an item knowing that the overall outcome will be indeed profitable with no doubt within a small margin for error and that this item will indeed knowingly sell within a short period of time, (usually within the same day or the next).

I would go into exact items that are considered long and short term investments, however it decided to go more into why its important to learn about the 2 and how it effects your total earned profit per day/week/month. If you are receiving 20k a day from just shuffling ore and selling raw materials you might be happy with it cause you don't wake up with any left overs. But what if you took some of them and make enchant scrolls along with what you were selling every day and a few a day started selling throughout the week. This total possible profit that could be earned could turn into the equivalent of more markets with half the efforts since you only need to make long term investment items once or so a week but waking up to 30k a day instead of 20k sure is nice.

Phat Lewts of http://www.phatlewtsgold.net/ brought up the point of 77-80 twink gear and i would like to add that all leveling and twink gear in general are great investments for the long term, though some might have a larger profit margin than others.

Farli made a good point that even though an item might be short term during it's time doesn't mean that if you hold onto it for a long term period it will lose value or be any harder to sell. As he stated in his comment about Essence of Air and how the drop rate changed and its demand grew. When Supply decreases but demand increases then you have an item that has gained in value. More people should be aware of how long term and short term investments can effect the over all profit of said item.

Alchemy Transmutes Phat Lewts of ( http://www.phatlewtsgold.net/ )

Phat Lewts of http://www.phatlewtsgold.net/ gave us his idea about short term investment by bringing up uses for Alchemy such as transmutes. I could see in my opinion the use of transmute elementals, gems and bars being all valid short term investment ideas and is indeed a profitable profession ability in general.

Long Term Submission:

77-80 twink gear. Although it sells pretty regularly, you need a large amount of stock before you get daily sales.

I also feel like Alchemy cooldowns should be somewhere in there, most likely short term, although truegold has been suggested many a time as an inflation buster for MoP.

Side rant: Power leveling any profession to 525 is a "long term" investment. You don't make all your gold back in one sitting, and most of it will be made over a (very) long period of time.

Think of Essence of Air during wotlk you could farm up 80-90 per hour now its more like 10-15 per hour. Drop rates change.
Eternal Earth was going for around 1g each in wotlk now i sell it for 30-50g.
Primal Air (primal might), Living Essence (engi toad)

Holding on to this sort of material can really pay off as long as there is still a use for the item.

Taking a Break from live-streaming and blogging.

I am sad to report that my streams are not interesting or not timed properly so that viewers can see more than 1. i think the fact that there are so many gold making streams now and they stream 24/7 is hard enough for viewers to catch, let alone see multiple channels. i will focus on the blog when i come back and make educational videos....as far as live-streaming if you want to see me stream again leave a comment below. i can make a schedule i can show specific material related to WoW/Gold Making.

Honestly i am feeling a struggle in the community and maybe its just me not ever being apart of it like i wanted, either way i am taking a break to straighten things out and figure out what i want to do. i have important people in my life to focus on right now but hopefully things will get sorted out sooner than later.

I very much enjoyed streaming for you all and honestly miss seeing everyone hanging out. I had a great time and hope i helped some players learn some strategies to making gold in WoW.

Professions 101 For Profit: Alchemy

Professions 101 For Profit:

Alchemy with Shannon's Shenanigans

Alchemy

Alchemy is a profession that requires mostly Herbs which can be obtained from Herbalism among other miscellaneous materials. Alchemy uses these materials to create a variety of items in the game.

Elixirs

Elixirs are made using mainly Herbs around the same Level of the Elixir being made. These Elixirs provide a variety buffs which last for a long duration for the character when consumed, however these effects do not last when the character dies. The benefit of Elixirs are that they have 2 seperate categories of which both can be consumed to obtain 2 seperate buffs for the character. The categories are Guardian Elixir and the other is Battle Elixir. A Guardian Elixir gives the character a defensive type buff, where as the Battle Elixir gives the character an offensive type buff and when combined properly can compliment eachother very well when fighting enemies.

Flasks

Flasks are made using mainly Herbs around the same Level of the Flasks being made. The Flasks provide a variety of strong buffs which will last after the character has died. Like the Elixirs the Flasks offer a long buff duration, however unlike the Elixirs there is only one category and so only one Flask at any given time may be used on the Character.

Potions

Potions are made using mainly Herbs around the same Level of the Potions. Potions provide a short duration buff but offer a extremely useful and strong buff for many in combat and out of combat situations.

Transmute

Transmute is an ability Alchemists have that can take one material and convert it into another material. There are specific Transmutes that Alchemists can learn which can do a number of actions. Alchemists can Transmute Bars created from Smelting Ore (Smelting is an ability Miners have to turn Ore into Bars) and Several different Elemental materials as well. Alchemists can also Transmute Raw Gems (Gems can be obtained by the process of Prospecting using Jewelcrafting) into higher quality Raw Gems.
Alchemists can currently learn the skill Mixology which makes the effects of Flasks/Elixirs/Potions last longer and more effective. Alchemists can also create their own Trinkets which are created to improve the Character's stats as far as gear goes and also increase the effects of Flasks/Elixirs/Potsions.
Alchemists currently have 3 specializations they can choose from, such as Elixirs (and Flasks), Potions or Transmutation. These specializations help increase the chance of a extra creation of the item of the specialization.

Making Gold with Alchemy

Alchemy is not a very large market for making large amounts of gold but it is reliable since it is needed for many Raids and in some cases PVP. Making Flasks especially with main stats and putting up on the AH is going to help you out the most from what i have seen. The other option to making gold that most other do is Transmute. Transmute is great but can take over life quickly. I hear all the time about multiple Alchemists and this is a great idea....if you already have all of the other professions and it is purely exxtra profession. (i personally would go for JC for more cuts per day still). Transmuting can help with taking those uncommon gems from Cata Shuffling and making them into Rare Gem quality which i have said in the past main stats sell the best. You can also transmute bars such as Pyrium Bars these are usually much more than double the price of the ore but all servers prices will vary.

Leveling Alchemy

Leveling Alchemy can be tricky as any profession can be so i decided to use my favorite source to help me minimize time/waste and i will also be adding my own take on leveling as far as how to make gold while leveling Alchemy.

I love www.wow-professions.com and always use it as a source for the amount of items i need to properly level a profession. I suggest you go to Alchemy Leveling Guide 1 - 525 to get started on Leveling however i want you to know my take on risks and benefits of leveling Alchemy and how you can help yourself out by making gold on leveling Alchemy

4I recommend if you are Leveling a new toon to pick Herbalism and Mining till you hit atleast level 40 and then drop Mining and then pick up Alchemy and use the saved up Herbs to level your Alchemy. Sell the materials you received on the AH or to someone you know will buy them. I personally would wait till you hit max level or close to it before dropping the other gathering profession as you gain Experience from Gathering Herbs/Ore from nodes and you Have more gold from the Mining as well.

Note: If you plan on buying all the materials to quickly level the profession make sure not to go ahead and buy all the materials needed to level the profession all at once since you aren't 100% sure if you need that exact amount, you might get lucky or unlucky with the amount needed to continue leveling.

Professions 101 For Profit: Jewelcrafting

2012-04-03T16:32:00.001-07:00

Professions 101 For Profit:

Jewelcrafting with Shannon's Shenanigans

Tips for leveling Jewelcrafting:

Have a character with Mining so you don't have to buy expensive Ore if you cannot afford it.
Powerleveling Jewelcrafting will cost you anywhere from 10k - 20k (i have spent 12k doing this)
Prospecting is an ability Jewelcrafters have which destroys (gathers gems) 5 of the same Common Ore (uncommon ore cannot be Destroyed to gather gems). This is key to gathering the gems needed to level up Jewelcrafting.
Never go and just buy all materials needed at once. Get enough mats to level up to the next learned ability for Jewelcrafting
Jewelcrafting Designs for each type of raw gem is an ability that the Jewelcrafter uses to cut the raw gems into a specific cut to make them gem a socket-able gem. Each design for these gems create specific statistics which can be used to socket gear.
Sockets in gear/weapons have specific colors which a lot of the time mean when matched give a socket bonus. This bonus will increase a specific statistic for the gear on top of what the socketed gem provided. An orange cut gem could be used in a yellow socket to get a socket bonus if specified to use a yellow gem. Cut gems do not need to match the socket colors and still can be used to get desired statistics but in some cases the desired result comes from matching gems to the socket bonus colors.

Use online resources to help in your journey to leveling any profession. I suggest using WoW-Professions.com to get a descent detailed list of materials you will need as well as finding out where to go if you need to farm at all. It is my favorite site for leveling professions and honestly it is all you really need.

Making Gold with Jewelcrafting:

Prospecting Ore in Stormwind City

Jewelcrafting is a great way to make a descent gold profit, however you should be aware that you are limited untill you learn specific cuts. You can learn specific cuts from vendors in both Dalaran and Stormwind City/Orgrimmar. In Dalaran you will find that you will need specific items to purchase Designs to cut the gems into desired cut gems. These items are called Dalaran Jewelcrafter's Token. You can receive these tokens by completing daily quests in Dalaran where the Jewelcrafing Trainer is located. As for the Stormwind City/Orgrimmar items needed again you will have to head to the Jewelcrafting Trainer to complete daily quests to receive Illustrious Jewelcrafter's Token.

Now that i have that information out of the way, which by the way, is all very relevant in making gold aside from needing to level Jewelcrafting.

So for now since we are still in Cataclysm waiting to be cute booty shakin' Panda Monks, we will focus on the daily quests at either Stormwind City or Orgrimmar. These daily quests need to be done each day in order to get more useful designs needed to sell on the AH for considerably large profits. I would like to point out that when getting started to stick to getting the Inferno Ruby Cuts first and pay attention the best selling gem cuts on the market for other types of Cataclysm rare gems. I am not going to tell you which cuts to get but rather to do your homework as always. The Inferno Ruby market is always great for profit since they offer the main statistics for all classes, such as: Strength, Agility and Intellect.

Remember when you had to get 3 of the same type of uncommon gem to complete your daily quest? Well you aren't the only one doing so. I like to try getting rid of my Zephryite raw gems in stacks of 3 on the day when they are needed. If you don't plan on shuffling or don't have an enchanter then use up the other uncommon gems as well be sure to cut at least 3 of each uncommon gem to more popular cuts to sell on the AH. (basically shuffling is breaking down raw materials into more useful materials to create other crafted items which can be done many different ways and i will cover this in detail at another time.)

There are many great resources on "Shuffling" and ways to calculate the risk of buying ore, especially Cataclysm ore on the internet but i will leave you with my opinion again. My opinion on risk is if you can quickly and roughly calculate a large profit from buying the gems and prospecting, cutting/crafting/disenchanting and whatever else you can think of doing with it, then buy the ore and buy lots of it, other wise, don't bother at that moment.

Always be patient and never rush sales the sooner you try selling the worst the prices will be and that could cause flooding in the market. (flooding is the ability to not care about your market and take a large dump on other people in that market that hold off on posting more than a few of each item at a time.

In conclusion this is my simple but long guide to Jewelcrafting for Gold Makers in World of Warcraft. I hope you enjoyed it and it was useful. If you feel you have any questions/comments/concerns just email me at shannonlasell@gmail.com. You can also follow me on twitter @shannonlasell.

Weapon/Shield Shopping List for TSM

2012-03-27T16:33:00.001-07:00

Weapons/Shields Shopping List for TSM

Alto's Transmog Weapon Shopping List for TSM

http://altosgoldishadvise.blogspot.com/2012/01/altos-transmog-shopping-lists-using.html

Here is Alto's original auctionator list all i mainly did was get itemid for all items and then i grabbed all the "look-alike" models and grabbed the itemid for each of them as well. Quite a stunning array of transmog weapons.

Rul's Random Weapon Shopping List for TSM

This is a similar but slightly different weapon transmog shopping list, and again i took all items and input each one with itemid and grabbed any "look-alike" model and added with itemid as well. Great list.
http://rulsrants.blogspot.com/2012/02/transmog-weapon-list.html
Powerword: Gold was the one that took his original basic list and made an auctionator list with it in the comments section of Rul's post i linked above.

Phat Lewts' Shield Transmog Shopping List for TSM

Again, i took all the shields listed on Phat Lewts' WoW Gold Blog at http://www.phatlewtsgold.net/2012/02/auctionating-mogging-shields.html. I added each one by hand by itemid and each one that had a "look-alike" model i grabbed and added by itemid.

I have decided to take my personal list of extra items their weapons list and combine them all together for this list which isn't really that large since most of us have many multiples.

If you want to change these up the best option is to trim since i have added more than enough weapons and shields, but there is always more and you can add to it, but you can also go through the list once you import it and just browse and delete anything you don't want to bother selling. If you have any questions or suggestions you can leave them on this blog in the comments section below.

Thank You for reading my blog and i hope you check out my live-stream and follow me on twitter, i aim to entertain my audience and offer knowledge wherever i can be of assistance.

To Control a Market, Or Not Control...

2012-03-27T06:29:00.001-07:00

To Control a Market, Or Not Control...

...that is the question.

Controlling a market is not as easy as some make it sound. First of all, if you actually plan on controlling a market, you need to know the market you are controlling and know it well. Don't try controlling the whole market all at once either. You are probably asking many questions at this point, or have many comments, so let me dig deeper and describe what i am talking about a bit more.

First you want to watch and research the market you plan on controlling. Check to see how many others are actually in the market a good 2 week study will tell you all you need and using TUJ (The Undermine Journal) helps a lot with this.

Second of all you need to realize if you want to control a specific market, that you don't want to control the item itself you are targeting, you want to control the source of the item you are targeting, if possible. Don't try to take over a major market try for a small portion of a market first and work your way into the market. It might be better to only control only small portions of certain major markets as well.

Third is deception. You need to make the item you are controlling seem rare and not easy to get. Don't ever flood any market. What i mean by flooding a market is, over-posting/listing items you want to sell on the AH. Try to keep it to a minimum so that the new reset price you will be controlling seems more reasonable to buyers.

"Don't be skurred"

So now that i have the steps of controlling a market in place let's talk about it more, because this is a set-up for failure. So what do you look for when researching the market you want to control? See the price difference of a 2 week span of whatever market it is you want to control and see who were the main contributors to the posted/sold items. Look out for unusual behavior such as always posting for a certain amounts, even when the average price of the item is much higher. Such unusual behavior shows you right away that you most likely won't be able to control the market because you cannot control another players behavior no matter how weird it might seem to you, you can't do anything about what someone else wants to do. (Learned this type of thought process of knowing you cannot control basic human behavior from Powerword: Gold)

As far as controlling the targeted market you want to control, let's say gems to keep it simple and in my ballpark of reasoning since i am fairly new to gold making still. So, how do you control this huge constant mass of gems incoming and outgoing? You watch/research the Ore needed to prospect to make the gems and also watch the raw gems. Now in cases such as bots farming ore, you cannot control the ore itself since it is massive enough as is, so your next plan other than buying as much as you can afford, within budget you set for yourself, is to control the raw gems that are needed to cut the gems that are the targeted market. Now this is fairly easy to do with gems, but i assure you it is not an easy task in other markets. I have started trying out Glyphs and even though i joke with a friend that i will control this market i have high doubts that i will be able to succeed. Why do i have doubts? Glyph market has many more items to watch and there is many ways to create the glyphs so to cut off the source i would have to watch all herbs, pigments and inks needed to make all 300+ glyphs available currently in patch 4.3.

My conclusion to controlling markets is that, it can be done, but is not very easy and in some cases just not possible now matter what the market is due to uncommon variables that can and will occur. So do you research and watch the market closely and make sure you can do it before you jump into it.

Journey To Gold Cap

Journey To Gold Cap

It has been a while since i have posted my total gold aquired in my journey to gold cap. I feel like i have learned a few valuable lessons as i have gone further into gold making. I will have to say if you plan on making large amounts of gold then addons are key.

My auction house addons are:
(will add links in the future for now highlight name of addon and search at Curse.com)

Auctioneer

Auctionator

TradeskillMaster

TradeSkillMaster_Accounting
TradeSkillMaster_AuctionDB
TradeSkillMaster_Auctioning
TradeSkillMaster_Crafting
TradeSkillMaster_Destroying
TradeSkillMaster_ItemTracker
TradeSkillMaster_Mailing
TradeSkillMaster_Shopping
TradeSkillMaster_Warehousing

My other addons to help in gold making are:

_NPCScan

Altoholic

AutoRepair

Bagbrother

Bagnon

Bartender

Gathermate2 & Gathermate2Data

gBanker

Handynotes (check out seperate modules for you own liking)

ItemID (not so important but nice if you need itemID for items on the fly)

Minimap Button Frame

MogIt

OPie

Panda

Postal

Quest-o-matic

SellJunk

The Undermine Journal GE

Trade Forwarder

WIM

RecipeProfit (For Gathermate2)

Now basically i keep Auctioneer around for tooltip information but if you spend time to learn can be handy, however Auctionator has most of Auctioneer functions and is easier to use. Auctionator is a new comers basic addon for gold making (in my opinion). TradeSkillMaster on the otherhand does everything and is amazing if you learn how to use it.

TradeSkillMaster can be confusing so i will give you a few links for reference. The Gold Queen has a post on her Gold Making Blog here http://www.thegoldqueen.com/addons/trade-skill-master/. Clockworkriot (Faidtastic, NerfFaids) has a great guide on TSM here http://www.clockworkriot.com/2012/03/tsm-guide-videos.html.

For all 3 auction house addons here is a quick basic guide on Powerwordgold.net http://www.powerwordgold.net/2011/04/using-tradeskillmaster-auctioneer-and.html.

If you have any questions on my addons i use for gold making/farming, please leave a comment below and i will get back and respond as soon as i can.

Mists Of Pandaria Hype - What You Can Do

2012-03-20T10:25:00.003-07:00

Mists Of Pandaria Hype

What You Can Do

My Thoughts on Mists of Pandaria press release of March 19 @ 3am.

#shrug

I honestly didn't see a whole lot that was interesting for gold makers. I suppose AOE loot system is going to make things easier and we know many are going to start leveling classes like Druids so maybe make a little extra on glyphs before MoP comes. I think that they presented a lot of information about MoP and it is all very exiting, such as the farm we will have of our own with our own little shack to live in, lol. The farm is very nice and you can plant items for cooking and consumables and they are thinking of letting you grow "pets" in the garden.

I would like to ad that preparing for MoP does not necessarily mean stockpile. (edit)

What you should know. MoP is close now, so we need to prepare for it and we have some good ideas on how to prepare for it.

Profession leveling kits
Gear/Weapon enhancements for leveling characters
Glyphs
Bags
Leveling your own toons and getting the professions you have wanted.

These are a few things we can do to be ready for MoP. Profession leveling kits can be gathered up and held on to till MoP launches, this kit will contain everything needed to fully level said profession. (jack those prices up too). Item enhancements such as leather working armor, enchants, gems for low level gear and weapons as many will be leveling. While we are talking about leveling don't forget to be ready for the Glyph rush which will be insane. I wouldn't recommend diving into glyph market till you know what you are doing as many are already in the market and it is a cut throat section to be apart of, so go test your skills now. Bags!!!! This is and has been a great way to liquidize your gold you currently have such as materials for making bags or holding onto the actual bags themselves which can save you some room, but take risk of materials being sold better or for more later on.

This is a great time to level your own character('s) and prepare for MoP if you don't have all professions or would like to have an extra alchemist (which is viable if you have all other professions, but i find silly).

I think MoP is exiting and we have lots to do, but as far as new strategies or ways to make gold i am at a road block with what we were given for information. If you liked reading and would like to continue to read my blog posts or watch my live-streams just follow by subscribing to my blog's feed which i will begin leaving an xml version of my feed at the end of all posts.

Journey To Gold Cap

2012-03-17T19:41:00.005-07:00

Journey To Gold Cap

So i have gotten past the 100k barrier, but i found myself handing myself my own achievement and to celebrate i showed off and handed out gold left and right. I could easily be at 150k or even 200k right now. But i have learned another good lesson in Gold Making and currency management in general. I actually think this game with some alterations could help the younger people get a somewhat simple idea of money management. Not saying it will be the greatest lesson but i know i found a similarity in Gold Making and trying to make it in the real world as a self employer living home alone barely making things work out to start my own home based income sources. I learned that always be versatile and stick with what works for you. If you do what everyone else does it's not gonna be the best way to sell or make a living in Azeroth or iRL.

I will be posting more of my adventures in the Auction House as i learn more about the in game economy and how many things effect how it turns out. Be sure to subscribe to my twitch.tv live-stream at shannonlasell/twitch.tv and subscribe to my Blog Feed and follow me on Twitter @shannonlasell.

Me Pot O' Gold

2012-03-17T09:01:00.000-07:00

Me Pot O' Gold

Back with some more Shenanigans this time on St. Patrick's Day! How exiting is that do be reading my gold making tips on St. Patrick's Day? Because of this special occasion i would just like to point out that if you want to find that gold and your precious pot of gold, we all know what the real trick is, get your own pot o' gold and leave me' treasure alone. What does this have to do with what I'm writing about? Silly question, but i will answer that for you. World of Warcraft currency as many of us know is gold and the more we get the more we don't like to have others find the end of the rainbow, so to speak. But, many of times we find ourselves having issues reaching our goals we set each time we reach a previous goal. So we are going to talk about how to invest your pot of gold wisely and how to keep it hidden from others in order to reach our goals as leprechauns .

So you enjoy your pot o' gold do ya? Have you found a way to make more gold than you are use to having? Do i ask too many questions that i answer before you have a chance to even communicate with me? OK, now your just being silly. I want to talk about investing gold wisely. If you have been doing well making gold in a specific market or 2-5, how ever many markets you are involved in, i want you to remember how you got to that goal you set for yourself. A lot of people get distracted by the large amount of gold when they first earn that 100k or 500k and either spend it outright, give it away to friends or guildies or think that now they can invest in new markets that have items that cost much more, like rare mounts and pets or other rare items such as WoW TCG loot cards, etc. Do you know these markets? If not i would advise you to do some of your own math and research before starting any new major projects involving your hard earned gold. I want to talk about those that you feel obligated to give away free gold to because you know them or like them or in any way shape or form feel guilty that you have enough gold to get whatever you want and they can't. This is a misconception and is why it is a good idea to keep your pot o' gold hidden and safe, since we leprechauns love our gold so much. (you totally read that with an Irish accent didn't you?)

I recently pushed my ability to make gold harder by using all markets i know and working them all little by little together to earn large amounts of gold at once. I didn't go sell a TCG card or buy gold or run a farming bot. I basically used 3 main professions and craft/destroy items to maximize my profits and time trying to earn them. Now that i have spent a few weeks working at it i ended up at around 110k+ gold. I am telling you all this as some might already know, i have started giving away gold, making large gold bets with people and trying to get into large markets that require more gold to get into that i don't know enough about still. I might actually have 200k+ gold after a few weeks if i hadn't been so foolish.

What have we learned today? Gold is good. Leprechauns kick ass. And drinking and auctioning responsibly is key to keeping your eye on your gold on St. Patrick's day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Much <3

Drink and Auction Responsibly

Subject: Hey, thanks!

I won't buy any of your wildly expensive armor for transmog (although kudos on figuring out that roleplayers will buy), but browsing through the AH and seeing pieces you've put up for sale has given me some great ideas for transmog sets. So, thanks for the ideas!

Week In Gold - Spending Your Time Wisely

Week In Gold

Spending Your Time Wisely

Thursday, March 08, 2012 - Update for Journey to Gold Cap

Story Time

The amount of gold i am making daily has started to increase much more. I still spend about 10k a day on investments but i receive about 20-30k a day. Now most of you are probably asking yourself, why have you been posting such small blog titles and not a lot of information this past week? I can answer that quite simply. I have been building up to my main post of the week. I started a blog post because of Powerword: Gold (http://www.powerwordgold.net/) which i started reading and listening to over a year ago. Now they are running a full on operation with live-streams, podcast's and a huge blog site all based on making gold in World of Warcraft. I really want to share my insights and knowledge of making gold as well and other topics in the future since i have played World of Warcraft for over 2 years now, just like Powerword: Gold did. Yes, i am a Wrath baby, and my main other than the Warlock that took me 1 year to level to 80, is a Death Knight which i love dearly. But yeah i just wanted to let you that every week there will be a main post about what i have done to make what i made in gold.

Weekly Routine and tips for making gold:

The Shuffle Lives On

Enough boring talk about me and my poor excuse for short blogs during the week, let's talk about what i did to make gold this week. First of all i have been non stop buying as much Elementium Ore as i can as long as the price was lower than what i can make from Gems, Jewelry, Enchant mats and Enchanting Scrolls. I am going to recap why i still "Shuffle" and why i use Elementium vs Obsidium Ore as well as what i do exactly when i shuffle and what professions i have exactly. First, i have Jewelcrafting, Engineering, Enchanting and Tailoring. The more Elementium ore i buy the more common and rare gems i end up with. I don't have an Alchemist so that is one reason why buying Obsidium ore is not an option because i have no way to Transmute Carnelians to Inferno Ruby's. So my shuffle consists of Prospecting the ore then cutting my rare gems that make more than roughly 50g (Inferno Ruby goes for 230g each on my server still). I take my common gems and i make Jewelry if the prices are low enough so that i would make more Disenchanting the items than selling the raw common gems. Greater Celestial Essence has been the money maker next to Inferno Ruby's but now i have been pondering about what to do with all this Hypnotic Dust that everyone else complains about being overstocked, so i searched what Hypnotic Dust is used for and as we all know you need 15 for Embersilk bags but the price of Embersilk Cloth is too high to be worth selling bags.

I thought about this and realized that sitting in the AH is boring and i'm already going out looking for rares for Transmogrification while i do Archaeology and search for Treasure Chests and and Hatchling nests. So, i decided i would head out to Deepholm where the Troggs and Dwarfs fight eachother and found since i am a Warlock with AOE, a Tailor for increased chance of cloth drop and a Treasure Potion for more cloth and extra gold and random other items to sell or disenchant. I spend 1 hour a day farming this cloth after spending 2 hours doing my routine each day. I come out with 3-5 Embersilk bags worth of Embersilk Cloth per hour depending on how hard i dedicate my time to focus on what im doing. Embersilk Bags sell for 300-500g for me on my server so 15 Hypnotic Dust just turned into 400g and an hour of my time.

Transmogrification

My Transmogrification sales have been not so great all week until the last day or 2. I have had to get rid of belts and bracers and most gloves and boots as well. I had to change prices from 500-1,500 gold to 50-375g and it is still profit and sales and it does add up but it's not what others have been making. But that is ok, i don't spend all that time on the AH now trying to make Transmogrification sales, i am spending my time researching or farming or crafting/destroying to make much much more gold.

Farming

I have been spending an hour as apart of my daily routine farming rare spawns in Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor (yes, that includes Blasted Lands which is a great map for rare spawns). When im in Kalimdor i go out of my way from rare spawns to dig up Archaeology spots to get more chances at Uldum Digs for the Tol'vir artifacts which sell for 1,000 gold on my server on top of that you get vendor items that can go for quite a lot of gold. I have been hitting up 4 spots on both maps as well for Hatchling Nests which contain pets that sell from 200-1,000g each.

Conclusion

In conclusion i have found that i can make about 10-20k a day now doing my routine. If you have any questions or comments leave them below and let me know what you think.

Auction House Addon Import/Export Code for Shopping Lists and Category/Groups

Ok so we all keep looking up new shopping lists and groups for Auctionator and TSM and i feel it is a pain even though i am working on my own but it isn't pefect. What i want is simple. Leave a comment here with a link to something you found that is related to gold making and import/export of addon code for programs like TSM (TradeskillMaster) or Auctionator. I will set up a seperate page and keep updating lists, groups and other import/export options for auction house addons, based on what you leave for links here. (yes i do make sure i reference back to authors of all information that was not originally thought of by me as much as i can).

The Consortium is a great place to search for such lists and is for the most part all there but in different forum links. I would like to see all updated lists that my viewers/readers use here on one site, one page. help me out and i'll help you out.

Eternal Fire's from Frozo the Renowned

Hello again and thanks for stopping by to check out this quick tip to make a few extra gold coming to an end of a funky expansion. These Eternal Fire have been, since Wrath came out, a means for people that have a hard time to make gold, make gold easily. This time the price is off the charts and i found that those beautiful Titansteel Shield Wall's are made with of course Titansteel Bar's and since we are going to be talking about Frozo my favorite Frozen Orb Trader who indeed sells various Elemental items from Wrath in Dalaran one of these items are Eternal Fire as well as Eternal Earth and Eternal Shadow but as long as i can remember the Fire have always sold for much more possibly because it's more of a pain to farm or for whatever reason this item is sell fast and i am currently still rising the price of them im at 70g each and im buying the Frozen Orbs for around 20g each. If you are a Blacksmith i recomend making these shields as they are currently going for 3k gold on my server.

I hope this little tip was helpful and useful. Please remember to sign up for my blog to get more tips as i come up with them and as always remember to check the side bar on the right to see my friends in the gold making community for more tips and strategies to making gold.

If you have any questions be sure to send them to me:

"Cold's Gold Blogging Carnival"

2012-03-06T08:48:00.001-08:00

"Cold's Gold Blogging Carnival"

Well it appears this is my first rodeo, but it seemed quite interesting and fun so here is my submission for the "Cold's Gold Blogging Carnival", enjoy.

If i started over as a gold maker i would indeed make some changes to how i started. I would first do research on my server and get information such as population, realm type and trends for my server. I would definitely start off by widening my horizons, meaning if you stick to one main gold making idea you are limiting yourself and wasting time. I have learned that keeping it versatile in a variety of markets is key to gaining profit. The reason is you don't want to get right into large markets till you have a large amount of gold saved up. I would be sitting at a million gold easy right now, but instead every time i would hit 20k or 30k i would start trying to flip epics or i would go all out gearing my raiding toon and in result would be back to a few thousand gold limiting myself to making gold as much as i could be. Thanks for giving me the time to talk about this topic. It was actually fun to think about it. =)

Diary of a Gold Maker: Think for yourself

2012-03-06T02:52:00.000-08:00

DIARY OF A GOLD MAKER

Think For Yourself

Hello all you eager to make gold or you filthy rich gold makers out there. I have something to say that should ring some bells for more experienced gold makers and hopefully shake some brain cells for new eager to make gold players. I know that starting out with little or no gold is hard, and it really isn't as easy as some people say it is, but sometimes it is easier. I am bringing up this long and boring but helpful topic because of the large mainstream popularity of selling transmogrification items. Not everyone is going to make the amount of gold that some people are reporting. I would like to point out that those that are reporting this amount and trying to help others make the same amount to what you are doing should be aware that there are many variables involved.

You ever see that blog about gold making and say to yourself, "WOW, that is amazing i can do that and make all the gold i want in the world!!!!" Let's stop for a second and logically think about this idea. First we need to always remember and think about the fact that we all play on different servers. Different servers mean many different results will occur such as, a PVP server with high population will have the Tailoring PVP gear much more often stocked on the AH meaning it will be lower priced, which can also cause Heavenly Shard prices to decrease from large competition. This shows that because of the server type it effects several items differently then other types. I don't really want to go into several explanations so hopefully that gives you a better idea of what im talking about in general now.

So basically when you decide to look up a way to make gold or you just don't know how to start making gold in general i want you to stop and first keep in mind that these blogs and articles aren't going to teach you to do exactly what they are blogging about, but rather give you a large overview of what they are talking about. I love explanations because like im trying to explain in this blog post, not everyone is the same. Now like i said im not just talking to the people trying to learn how to make gold but to the the ones that already have plenty of gold and like to teach others how to make gold. People aren't going to "Learn" if you tell them exactly how to make gold, but when you teach them how to make gold they should, in theory, by the end of all that is presented understand topic and conclusion of the topic.

Am i boring you yet? Then maybe you aren't ready to make large amounts of gold, because what im saying is you have to find out more than what these people are teaching you. You have to find out if your server sells whatever it was that is that is the main topic and if it sells well or for as much as the average server sells it for. You have to see if the topic you learned is popular on your server. So on and so on.

In conclusion i would like to point out that all these blogs and sites really do have great topics and great ways to make gold, but you have to understand that you have to apply your situation and circumstances into the equation of what you are being taught. I would like to point out that bloggers should try to make this a point one way or another in their posts of each topic so that the viewer doesn't feel disappointed when the idea to make gold you taught in your post didn't work.

This is a short post basically a reference point to import Keelhaul's Transmogrification picks into a TSM shopping list. No tier's as we can still use his website for reference to the tiers. This my friends is simply one hunk of code i got from Raistlan of US-Proudmoore(A) on the Consortium forums of http://stormspire.net. The code i noticed had some faults such as if you copy and pasted it you would end up with spaces in the numbers making TSM skip the item and move on and possibly miss other items as well, so i just took every number and made one huge shopping list with no errors. So make sure to check out Keelhaul's website for more information on the breakdown of "Tiers" of his opinion on the hierarchy of basically a pricing guide to use as reference. I will be coming out with actual fun stuff that i want to cover soon....(be patient)

The Shuffle lives on...

2012-03-01T11:24:00.000-08:00

The Shuffle lives on to see another day!

Jewel Crafting - Prospecting Elementium Ore

So i have not done any shuffling in a while and i thought i would check the Auction House to see what it was like still. I grabbed the prices on average by what i saw on my Auction House and then i went to The Undermine Journal https://theunderminejournal.com/ to check how prices have been doing and if anything could have made any recent changes. At the time i bought out only 30 stacks of Elementium Ore at 80 gold each (2,400 gold/ 120 prospects of 600 Elementium Ore. I checked prices on raw gems of Cataclysm Common and Rare gems same way i did on the ore. I found that (not going to fully bore you) i could make 1400g profit. As i have learned from Jim Younkin @ http://www.powerwordgold.net/ , he also streams live now with great ideas and tips http://www.twitch.tv/jimyounkin , feel free to follow him if you haven't already. You cannot predict the Auction House so the profit is not set as gems can change for many reasons especially if you flood the market. Flooding the market means over filling the Auction House with too many of said items causing new posts from others to be forced to undercut and the more you post the longer that price stays on the Auction House till if expires of course. I actually did pretty well. The next day i decided to do it again and found there was a flooding of Elementium Ore so prices dropped by a lot. I started grabbing them out, but too many were coming in so i talked to my competitors on my server to try and watch the Gem prices and to pick up any flooded/inflated prices on the gems and also on the enchant mats. We succeeded and i left a ticket for Blizzard because i had a feeling it was a bot doing it and someones account was most likely getting hacked.

----------------------

This is the ticket description:

Kailandewey is flooding the AH with elementium ore. I just checked his armory and he has already been deleted. Did you guys end this or is he still around somehow? This is in my mind a bot and something went wrong with the programming or it's a joke. either way im trying to start a blog about gold making and this confused me cause it isn't normal.

Blizzards response:

Thank you for contacting us. I am very sorry that I was not able to speak with you directly.

I really appreciate you taking the time to report this player to us. In this type of situation, a majority of these guys are gold farmers that steal other people's accounts to do pretty nasty things, like bot and hack to farm instances and mats. You have most likely just saved another player's account from further damage, so thank you so much for not only letting us know so that we can get the hackers out of the game, but for protecting your fellow player. You're the best! <3

Live long, and prosper!

---------------------

I felt like Superman or Batman for the day =)

Anyways, i found a great spreadsheet today on Elementiium Ore shuffling on The Consortium @ http://stormspire.net/addons-ui-customization/1563-consortium-cataclysm-shuffling-spreadsheet-v4-5-a.html

It isn't really needed all you need to do is shuffle for a while and you will get use to knowing when to buy ore and when to sell raw gems, cut gems and enchant mats from the Jewel Crafting.

This is my level 29 Warrior equipped with the best i could do. I would love to hear what your opinion is on the gear.
