News making the waves across the WoW blogs are discussing a new area where Whiptail nodes seem to constantly respawn and the markets are being flooded with this herb. If you log onto your server and search for Whiptail you will no doubt see a 15-30% decrease in the price. Here’s the particular farming spot [...]

A blue poster has confirmed today that ink traders will be added to both Stormwind and Orgrimmar in patch 4.0.6: Source “Ink Traders are being added to Stormwind and Orgrimmar in 4.0.6.” People have been requesting an ink trader be added to major cities since the start of Cataclysm, given that there are no longer [...]

A new build on the PTR for patch 4.0.6 has listed the new prices for grey artifact items when grinding archaeology. Don’t get too excited however, the amount of gold one could hope to gain per hour is still a measly 140g but the increase in prices are large, between 1000% – 3000% increases. This [...]

Inscription is my main source of gold so far in Cataclysm. It only requires about an hour a day to pull in my profits but I wouldn’t get near this efficiency with my time without the proper addons to not only focus my efforts on the most profitable glyphs but to keep fully stocked on [...]

I shared a tip on the site back on December 22nd about how a player with 500 alchemy and enchanting could create the lifebound alchemist stone and disenchant it into a Maelstrom Crystal. This was hotfixed in patch 4.0.3a which was released on live servers Tuesday January 18, 2011. The beauty of this gold making [...]

Between WOTLK and Cataclysm the whole glyph market changed completely, we went from a commodity market where glyphs were constantly being bought up as players glyphed for different pvp/pve situations to a market where the sales are now much lower as each character needs to buy glyphs only once but prices are higher. On this [...]

The Darkmoon Faire is in town for the first time since the launch of Cataclysm and I took the opportunity to level from 485 inscription to max and have my hand at making gold with Cataclysm Darkmoon Cards. Back in WOTLK I made a lot of gold by crafting darkmoon cards; the old Greatness, Illusion [...]

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 [...]
