The Best Selling Fish

The Best Selling FishThis post originally appeared in my newsletter. Subscribe now to get these Auction House tips before they are published on the blog.

Fishing. In the World of Warcraft, the act of fishing was apparently designed to be the most miserable and sadistic act in a video game ever. It’s horrifyingly boring and monotonous. How anyone could derive enjoyment from this act is simply beyond the scope of my brain’s mental capacity.

Selling Argent Tournament Pets

I had relatively high hopes for the Argent Tournament. I immediately, like many others, saw the nice opportunity to make excellent gold running the dailies once you reach the Champion level of the quests. But I was also really excited for the opportunity that the new Argent Tournament companion pets, available only by spending 40 Champion Seals, would offer.

This week’s issue is geared more towards raiders and not your casual WoW players. I thought I’d point out a quick way for those of you with excess Emblems of Valor to off some of your useless badges and turn them into a nice bit of profit for yourself.

I’ve had a few people contact me via email or on Twitter (@AlteracVolley) and ask me how I know what are the hot commodities currently selling on the Auction House. There are really two ways to do this: one requires time and some dedication and the other is served to you on a silver platter.

My Auction House Schedule

This post originally appeared in my newsletter. Subscribe now to get these Auction House tips before they are published on the blog.

I’m taking a quick break this week from the series on working the Auction House with one starting gold. Instead I thought I’d write a bit about my schedule, broken down by day, for how I grind, loot and list things for sale. On my server, and I suspect on many others, there is a selling pattern on the Auction House from day-to-day that you need to be aware of to maximize your returns.

The World of Warcraft economy is closely modeling the current real-world economy ever since the release of the 3.1 patch. Everything is in the tank.

Forty Thousand

40,000 GoldThis post is entirely of a bragging nature but I just wanted to announce that I finally crossed the 40,000 gold threshold. This total is across all of the characters on my account as of 6 o’clock this evening.

I had come close to 40,000 gold a few weeks back but then I went on a buying binge of gear for my priest and found myself hovering around 36,000 gold when it was all said and done with. A little bit of Fishing and smart Auction House work found me back to within striking distance of my goal. After running the Argent Tournament dailies today on two of my characters I broke the 40,000 gold mark by one.

I’m going to kick this whole thing off with a series about earning gold from the Auction House by starting with basically no resources. The goal is to not only see how much gold I can make on my own but to show you some ideas and practices you can use on your characters to start making some decent gold inside the World of Warcraft.
