This week’s Wowhead Economy has the info on how WoW Classic went from 0 to $2.6 billion in less than 12 hours, a new 5x drop rate for Tunare and some more changes coming with patch 8.1.
Wowhead has released a new update to their “tsm groups by expansion” tool. The tool is able to group players by expansions and also includes many other features.
Weekly Economic Update in World of Warcraft Hello! The WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up is back for the 218th time!
With the ability to construct Rank 7 Legendaries, the last important step for gold producers this patch came to a close this week. We talk about the massive quantities of gold created and how the system has grown. We’re also overjoyed to learn that the Brutosaur is back on the BMAH!
My name is Samadan, and I’ll be your tour guide around the Gold Making World!
Sales of 9.2 are legendary.
The last phase of the legendary system has begun, and those who were prepared are enjoying the rewards in numbers never seen before in World of Warcraft. With 9.2, the ideal combination of high demand, high entry costs, and a restricted market has finally reached a pinnacle. For others, the sheer volume of high-priced purchases has enabled them to enjoy the benefits of long-term investments and a willingness to take advantage of a market that has been cornered. It’s the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel.
This is fantastic to see, and congrats to everyone who was able to take advantage of these opportunities. The system favors people who have a lot of gold, so it’s not simple to enter into unless you already have a gold-making mechanism in place. It also pushes players to check the Auction House several times as they vie to be the first to list each of the Rank 7 goods, which is extremely difficult given the restricted amount. It is, in many respects, a victim of its own creation in a system that was attempting to prevent such techniques.
Manthieus discusses how this system has survived and the contributions that each part has made…
I’m not sure whether Manthieus’ reference to the “Golden Cake” was intended or merely the result of a system. I’m curious as to how many tokens were purchased as a consequence. With the Race to World First going on at the same time, it’s difficult to say.
Those who do not want to participate in the legendary market may still profit handsomely by selling commodities to fuel the legendary machine. Take a look at Progenitor Essentia’s pricing…

The Brutosaur Has Returned!
What do do with all this gold now that it’s all over the place? The Mighty Caravan Brutosaur looks to be available again in the Black Market Auction House, which is great news!
The Brutosaur has been absent from the BMAH since July 10th. They verified that TradeSkillMaster has not uncovered any proof that the Bruto has been spotted since then in the discussion, which was started by Sapu.
BUT, It was discovered on EU Hyjal this morning! It’s the first time it’s been sighted on the BMAH since July! Maybe it’s returned for real this time!
We’ve confirmed that this is a genuine sighting. https://t.co/go1c6con2f

TSM Strings for Battle Pets have been updated.
u/Wooraah has compiled some quite helpful TSM groupings of the new Battle Pets in 9.2…
So, following in the footsteps of u/Bilisonyxia, I thought it would be beneficial to share my modified TSM pet import strings with my fellow goblins. It may be difficult to determine a battle pet’s speciesID from wowhead and other fan sites when importing new pets into TSM, so perhaps this will save you some time.
Below are three separate import strings, one for all common, uncommon, and rare level 1 battle pets, one for all common, uncommon, and rare level 25 battle pets:
Base Items for All BattlePets
Level 1 for all BattlePets (3 rarities)
Level 25 for all BattlePets (3 rarities)
These categories include all of the tradeable pets that TSM has encountered thus far.
Thank you for putting them together, Wooraah. The Battle Pet market is a fun niche for collectors and sellers, as well as a fantastic method to distribute wealth over many worlds.

A Dream and 150k Gold
I like themes like this because they bring the gold-making community together and provide a wealth of useful information.
I’ve just lately started producing gold, and I’m not very good at it. As stated in the headline, I currently have 150k gold. Where should I begin? I’m on a high-population alliance server with one max-level leatherworker and no other professions. What should I do to improve my WoW fortune?
I was in your shoes a year ago, starting with $100 and making over $30 million over the course of a year of playing a lot. Here’s how to get started quickly:
People spend a lot of money on complete armor sets for their alts. I haven’t played this update yet, so I can’t comment on the figures. Get the right crafter’s mark and make the level 50 beginning armor, which you may then sell (This should be level 87 armor). You may even pull off a ruse by using the cheapest crafter’s mark from one of your two professions and applying it to the other. For example, you can use cloth to generate a level 87 crafter’s mark, which you can then use to construct a level 87 leather item. Do whatever is most cost-effective.
Also, complete the most recent rep grind to unlock the mark that allows you to create blue armor at the highest crafted level. People purchase whole sets of them to get an alt up to heroic dungeon level quickly or to prepare for raids. To make this viable, you must purchase raw materials at the lowest feasible price of the week. You may manually check pricing or look at previous prices in The Undermine Journal to determine whether you’re getting a decent bargain.
If you have the time, you can do this with numerous characters using plate/leather/cloth/mail/jewelry. You may want to cancel scan for a few seconds in case someone attempts to sell right after you, but I never found this was really essential.
Alchemy and selling flasks for the current tier of raiders are two more methods to earn a lot of money. This necessitates obtaining very low-cost herb inputs and selling them on raid days. This is how I got my first million.
Selling legendary artifacts did not bring in a lot of money for me. Those who got in on the ground level earned astronomical sums of money.
You need to figure out where there is a lot of demand and then make yourself capable of producing them cheaply and selling them as much as feasible.
I’ve had a lot of fun producing gold in World of Warcraft, and I have a lot more tips to provide if you have any questions. It’s a lot of effort, so set small, attainable objectives for yourself, such as “I’m going to make my first million in 2-3 months.” You may or may not achieve this objective ahead of schedule, but if you want to earn a lot of gold, you must look long term.
I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
The more characters you have, the more vocations you may have, and the more varied your gold production can be.
TSM will automate a large portion of your gold production process in exchange for some setup time. TSM will save you a lot of time if you intend on spreading your gold making out over all of the various professions.
The more sales you produce, the quicker you’ll earn gold.
You may find a lot of gold doing some fairly narrow activities. When time walking originally came out, a lot of people made time walking gear sets, and cutting TBC amazing gems made me a lot of money. This kind of occurrence is typically rather unusual and doesn’t last very long.
For the endgame scenario, tried and reliable gold-making tactics include inserting oneself somewhere along the value chain. Making potions for raiders and mythic+ players, boosting people in raids and pvp, and so on.
Personally, I try to stay away from gatherings at all costs. It nearly never pays off in terms of time spent. Except maybe at the start of a new expansion or patch. Before the botters have leveled their bots, in other words.
I’ve been using TSM and producing money since MoP, so that gives you some context for my advise. I’m sure I haven’t been as successful as others, but I lost interest when I ran out of things to purchase on the BMAH. I was a member of a top 20 US raiding guild and sold a fair number of heroic and epic items. They are by far the most expensive in terms of money and time, but nothing beats pressing craft all and seeing your gold stack rise.
Because professions are considered as the player’s most valuable resource, the guidance here concentrates on them. The idea is to pick something you love doing, study more about it, and see whether it provides you with the benefits you want. Making money in World of Warcraft may be as easy or as difficult as you want it to be.
