WoW Confidential

Back in December of 2009 I started my journey to hit the old gold cap of 214,000g, starting from a low of 1,000g. Finally on March 15, 2010 I hit 220,000g in “worth” which was the sum of my liquid gold plus all my inventory. I valuated my inventory using the addon Big Picture. It [...]

I’ve been really grinding out glyphs the last couple days and I’ve noticed a peculiar pattern. Given that the cost of cataclysm herbs are still inflated it is cheaper in most cases to buy the lower level herbs and craft them manually than to convert blackfallow inks into them. However one thing I have noticed [...]

Selling glyphs in WOTLK was highly profitable and was how I made my first 100,000g profit in WoW, however many things have changed since inscription first came out and since we are so early in Cataclysm there are a lot of factors to consider before making gold with glyphs again. It was easy determining your [...]

Here’s an amazing gold making method for those lucky enough to have both Enchanting and Alchemy on the same character. Maelstrom Crystals are the toughest shard to get right now and the highest quality, it comes from disenchanting an epic level piece of gear and as of right now no epic gear drops from 5 [...]

Cataclysm is here, and while everyone is still making the mad dash to hit level 85 and gear up for heroics there are others with professions on their minds, particularly the high gold making profession inscription. Inscription was my highest gold earner in Wrath of the Lich King, I earned my first 100,000g with it [...]

Last night I moved my main, a rogue, off of my old server Altar of Storms to a server where I have some friends who’ve come back to the game. During my last server transfer I was still on my journey to hit the gold cap of 214k and was very adamant to ensure I [...]

A guild bank is an essential tool for any player serious about making massive amounts of gold in world of warcraft. Previously, you would need to acquire 10 signatures from other players in order to start a guild, this would require you running around asking each person and probably paying them 10-20g each to sign [...]

Many of the changes we’ve seen with cataclysm has already begun to take effect on the wow economy, inks of the sea no longer converting, drop rates for rare recipes higher, and prices mostly plummeting across the board. One thing that always holds true though at the start of each expansion is the huge demand [...]

Some people I regularly talk about the wow economy with have mentioned that the Darkmoon Card of the North now only requires 1 eternal life to craft, down from 3. Darkmoon cards used to be a profitable way to use up all those left over snowfall inks but as time went on the value of [...]
