Hey y'all, I'm not a huge goblin so sorry if this is asked before. I have 3 toons I plan to use. I've got a druid I run most stuff on specced into Alch/Herb, and a SPriest I like to play who's in Ench/Tailoring (focused on enchant quality, and producing good quality bolts / farming cloth, maybe a mistake lol). My alchemist is focused on flasks, and I've noticed I can't craft rank 3 flasks without rank 3 sunglass vials, but they're over 800g a pop, which completely nukes my profit margin on my flasks, as those only go for ~1400g a pop on a good day. I have really maxed out herbalism, so I get tons of midnight lotus and rank 3 herbs, and I want to churn that into flasks. Alls to say, is it worth taking my last toon, a warlock, to mining/JC and specializing in vials or gemdust? What would you guys recommend, since he's not my main but he's not just a parked alt either. Are the vials profitable on their own, or would that just be enabling my alchemist to turn a profit? What's the go to for JC? Thanks!!

Before the .5 patch I was able to craft r2 evercores from r1 powder pigment. Now I'm only at 365 out of 405?

You think gold just shows up because you’re “playing the game” in World of Warcraft? That if you quest long enough, swing your weapon a few hundred times, maybe get lucky on a drop, you’ll just end up with money? That’s not how this works. That’s how you stay poor without realizing it. The game doesn’t reward effort; it rewards efficiency, and most of what you’re doing is inefficient.

Because here’s the part you haven’t accepted yet: none of this is really “gameplay.” Not in the way you think. Every mob you kill, every node you gather, every dungeon you run... those aren’t activities, they’re outputs. They have value, measurable value, whether you acknowledge it or not. You’re not spending time. You’re converting it. And if you’re not paying attention to what that time turns into, someone else is; and they’re pulling ahead while you’re still deciding what feels fun.

At the bottom, you’ve got raw gold farming. It’s consistent, it works, and it doesn’t ask much from you. You can run old content, loot everything, vendor it, and watch your gold slowly climb. There’s nothing wrong with it... but let’s not pretend it’s anything more than baseline. It’s the floor, not the ceiling.

Then you move into materials; herbs, ore, leather, cloth. This is where the game starts to show its structure. Those resources exist because other players need them, and that need fluctuates. If you’re just gathering randomly, you’re still leaving money on the table. The shift happens when you stop seeing nodes as something you stumble across and start treating them like routes, like territory. You’re not exploring anymore... you’re harvesting with intent.

And then there’s the Auction House, which is where most players hesitate, because it stops feeling like a game. But that’s also where the real shift happens. Buying low, selling high isn’t complicated in theory; but doing it well means paying attention. Prices move. Supply changes. People panic, undercut, overpay. If you’re watching closely, you stop reacting to the market and start anticipating it. You’re not just selling items... you’re positioning them.

Transmog and rare farming sits in a strange place. They’re inconsistent, sometimes frustrating, but they introduce a different kind of thinking. You’re not farming for guaranteed value, you’re farming for potential. When it hits, it hits hard. When it doesn’t, it teaches patience. Not everyone likes that tradeoff, but the ones who stick with it understand something most don’t: not all gold comes in steady streams. Some of it comes in spikes.

And eventually, if you keep pushing, you hit boosting and services. That’s where gold stops being tied to what you can farm and starts being tied to what you can do. You’re not selling items... you’re selling access, clears, outcomes. It’s direct. Efficient. There’s no randomness in it at all.

Somewhere along the way, if you’re paying attention, something changes. You stop asking what you feel like doing and start asking what’s actually worth your time. Not in a restrictive way, but in a clear one. You begin to see that everything in the game has a return attached to it. Some things are just better returns than others.

That’s the part people don’t talk about much. Once you see it, you don’t really unsee it. You can still play however you want: it's fine; but you understand the difference now. You know when you’re choosing efficiency, and you know when you’re not.

Most players never make that shift. They stay in the loop of doing what’s familiar and hoping it adds up. And it does.. slowly, inconsistently, without direction.

Meanwhile, the players who treat the system like a system are already ahead. Not because they play more, but because they decide differently.

You can keep playing the game the way it presents itself.

Or you can start paying attention to what it’s actually giving you, and what it isn’t.

I see the volume grow down each week, and the price dont down.

do you think that price could up hard or no ?

As title said I got a couple of thousands out of it, but i was curious how much out of it the person who did it managed to do. I think the nick was aldrich or something similar

So, I havent been able to get reliable infos to this: there is a lot of talk about this farm at the moment with many different things people say.

Some say you can only get a BOE the first time you go kill the Big Mob, others say you can only get one BOE per week per character.

Some say there is no limit.

I have run it about 15 times no with no luck and I want to ask: Did any of you get a BOE after the first time running it? And did any of you get more than one BOE?

I have characters on two different servers. So I have two of every crafter (2 tailors, 2 blacksmith, 2 jewelers, 2 alchemy, etc.). I’m wondering is there any downside or any reason that I shouldn’t cut that down to only one of each type?

Now that we have war bands, and everything is shared among all of my characters, it doesn’t seem to matter that they are on different servers like it used to. I’ve noticed that if I want to make something on one server and give it to my character on another server, I can just put it in my war bank. I’m wondering if I’m wasting my time and energy by having more than one of each type of crafter.

I really need to cut down on the number of alts that I have because I just don’t have time to keep up with all the new content and have so many crafters at the same time. It’s so complicated on retail now to do any crafting that it’s taking up way too much of my time just to keep them leveled and get them to max on their crafting and also get all of their knowledge points to a decent level where I can actually craft things that I can use. Add to that the cost of obtaining recipes, whether it’s paying gold or spending the time to get them from drops, and it’s starting to seem like it’s just not worth it.

To be clear, I only use the crafters for my own characters for convenience. I don’t make gold with my crafting and I don’t plan to. I also don’t want to move my characters to the same server. I like them where they are.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

They've lost almost 50% of their value since Tuesday.

Any thoughts on this? According to reports, Zul'Aman farms are nerfed, and the delves don't drop much cloth, plus they have a cooldown of approximately 10 days, or 4 days using Concentration.

I'm a noob playing WoW. I started a couple of months ago and bought the expansion a week ago. I tried mining and herbalism, but I was only getting 15k gold per hour. I tried farming leather in 4x2 and 1x5 grids, but I only managed to get 25k gold per hour. I also tried cloth farming, but I saw it was nerfed. Am I doing something wrong, or are these farming rates normal?

Pd: sorry for my English isn't good

so i made a second acc back in BFA, but dont remember if i recuit a friend'ed myself. is there a way to check it? its been inactive since. is there a way to activate it without spending real money? like i have tokens and money on my main acc but is there a way to get it over to the inactive acc somehow?

Basically the title. I write to people almost immediately as they post the order in trade chat and maybe get a response 1 in 10 best case scenario. I decided to test myself how big competition is and how fast it responds, they are actually not that fast, hence I'm not sure what is the issue. Is it the wording? Price? Is copypasted response to order throws people off? Any tips please, I've invested a lot of time, gold and effort into making a lot of crafters and so far it seems like a major waste of time.

Hi guys, i saw some folks doing leveling from 80-90 on voidstorm and other areas, and wanted to know if that's against the ToS or something, if not, anyone knows the area? Cuz i've heard since u're not asking for real money, its ok,, also asked because i remember back in DF there was nokhud hold leveling, and wanted to know if that's a thing still

I was using undermine exchange until earlier this evening to check prices of the items I'm trying to sell, when all of a sudden it says it requires patreon to access all features, I had a look, but it looks to me like we can't do anything without being a patreon now.

It's a big issue for me cause it's been free for so many years and was very useful, it's very difficult to have an idea of what's a good price or not without, and it would require an extra sub to continue using it; is there any free alternative that had similar features?

How is the supply so high, when prices are so low (below 6g on eu)? that it's better to vendor rare items(my main source being rares) rather than disenchant them. Is there a disenchanting shuffle I'm not aware of ?

Anyone have a good config for the azeroth auction assassin?

I was looking into flipping, and i discovered this is the original flipping pal app

Hello, can you make max rank flasks without using concentration? I am looking at one craft order for Flask of the Magisters and its recipe difficulty is 490. My skills is 465 (using all max rank reagents). I am missing 15 points in Alchemical Mastery which should bump up my skill to 485. Does that mean that rank 3 flasks are never quaranteed without concentration?

I have maxxed out relevant skills in Fluent in Flasks tree.

I am noob and want to get into professions like alchemy. When i leveled gathering i did all of the treasures and got some knowledge from gathering herbs but still am not caught up. I have 0 clue on how to catch up on professions such as alchemy though and I cant find a youtube guide that talks about it. Is it even possible to catch up? I want to try to make profit but will be so hard if im 150 knowledge points behind everyone else. Sorry if stupid question

Im a noob and I heard gathering is only worth ti at the start of the expansion but I am just now starting so wondered if its too late to make decent money from gathering? sorry if dumb question

I have an army of alts leveling Enchanting. Right now I am crafting Mark of the Magister as my craft simulator tells me that's the highest gold/concentration value, but it seems like sometimes it doesn't sell, which makes me lose quite a bit of money as the prices go down by a few hundred daily.

Hello,

I tried looking around a bit but haven’t found anything about it. Did they make any changes about recycling in this patch?

I’m maxed out in recycling and bits and bots, and I was able to get T2 evercore with T1 Powder pigments. As of now using the same base mats, I’m missing almost 40 skill points so I only get T1 evercores.

Sorry if I missed the information somewhere or if I’m just crazy and have been using T2 mats since the beginning without noticing…
