You want the ability to scale your operation. Find areas where you see items selling for a good price that don't take you a lot of time to farm. In fact, Pandaria and Legion are both very lucrative expansions for me.Įvery server will be different, so my advice is to study the market. I make at least 50% of my money selling items from previous expansions. I thought that people would only buy items in the latest expansion. I was getting frustrated that I couldn't sell a lot of newer items, particularly those from Battle for Azeroth. If Blizzard didn't want this data to be made available, then they'd shut off their API. YOu have to remember that these use WoW's own API. Though truly an advantage over those who do not use these addons and resources, they're not "funair" or "cheating" or anything like that. You can also use a tool called the Undermine Journal that has a lot of historical data on what sells. TSM has a lot of great ways to show you the sale rate, total number of an item sold daily, and all sorts of metrics right on the item tooltip.
People buy things that I think would never, ever sell! One of the biggest lessons I had to learn when trying to make gold was to disregard my own preconceived ideas about what was "good" or "worth buying" or "valuable" and rely on the data.
Lesson 3: People are Stupid and Buy Stupid Stuff Use the Data I highly recommend the tutorials by Samadan Plays WoW. It took me several days of watching tutorials, but I have made hundreds and hundreds of thousands of gold because of it. I decided to give TSM another shot, and now I feel like a pro. After a few days of Auctionator, I realized I was still missing some really important tools related to automatic price calculations and mass-posting my auctions. I had tried TSM in the past and it was suuuuper confusing, so I tried Auctionator instead. Lesson 2: Use an Addon like TSMĪbout a week into my serious attempt at making gold, I quickly learned that I was at a massive disadvantage by not using an auction addon. If I was able to keep that up for 30 days straight, that alone would pay for my subscription.īut who wants to do that? Not me. I would find a spot to grind leather and sit there for 2 hours. I started to bring in roughly 3-5k a day. I actually made a hefty chunk of change in the process. I put in several hours a day to grind mobs for skinning, gather herbs to sell, etc. Lesson 1: Exchanging Time for Money Works, but It's Not Fun Here are the lessons I learned along the way. I made over a million gold in PROFIT in less than 30 days. So I set off on this journey to pay for my token, and what resulted was 10x my goal. If I was going to make money, it wouldn't be through investments. I'm on a low-medium pop server, and I promised myself I would put NONE of my gold into the process. I decided that I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could pay for my subscription purely by playing the game. If you asked me about making gold in WoW I would have told you that it was only doable by getting lucky, gaming the system, being a first mover, or taking advantage of some stupid system from a past expansion (like WoD's garrisons). That gold took me (literally) a decade to accrue.
