SEGM: Netherweave Bags!

Image
Welcome to the first post from my new series, Super Easy Gold Making (or SEGM for short). Netherweave bags are simply the easiest and cheapest way for new players and alts to quickly grab a few extra bag slots before beginning the journey in World of Warcraft. Luckily for us, they sell insanely fast and are very easy to make. 20 Netherweave Cloth and 1  Rune Thread makes one bag, meaning that you can easily pump out hundreds of them. If you would like to farm your own cloth, WoW Professions has a very nice guide . This would increase your profit, but will be time consuming. Purely up to you which way you go! I like to have about 100 on the Auction House at any one time. While that sounds like a lot, it's only 2000 Netherweave (or 500 gold worth). Easily achievable for new gold makers! They generally sell for about 10g each

Weekly Report: 2

Another week, another load of auctions. I got lucky this week and sold two massive transmog pieces. 15k for a set of boots? Don't mind if you buy! The cloak was bought for 6k and resold for twice that! The Medallions and Champion's Honor came from my level 100 follower missions, making me a fair chunk of gold. I also got TSM3 Beta this week! Pumped to check it out and see all the new features.

Stacks and Stacks

Image
Since Warlords of Draenor has come out, we have had the ability to stack most profession items up to 200. While this is amazing, it has also created what I like to call the "irregular" effect. The irregular effect is simple and might even only apply to me. When I am shopping on WoW for certain items, such as herbs or fur, I will usually only buy the even stacks. Especially with herbs, this makes it a lot easier for me to mill them using the new 20 herb milling spells. While this may add a little gold onto my overall expenditure, it just makes it easier for me to track how much I am spending and buying. I am also still posting stacks up of 20 instead of switching to the new 200. Even if I was posting thousands of herbs, I would prefer to post them in stacks of 20. This does a couple things. It puts my auctions first when people are just scrolling through and not using addons, while also allowing people who are only after 20 or 40 herbs to buy mine instead.

Tanaan Gearing Guide

Image
So, you have gone to Tanaan Jungle and been overwhelmed by the amount of gear around. Rares, items on the ground and Baleful gear are everywhere and can be a massive ilevel boost for any level 100 outside of raiding. Of course, you can get gear that is 650 ilevel through the Baleful gear (purchasable for 5000 Apexis each or looted from the world). These have a chance to proc to 675 ilevel, as well as being upgradable to 695 with Empowered Apexis Fragment (which cost 20,000 Apexis or can be looted from rares.) Here is a simple list of where to look for some items. Cloth:  Head: Selora's Crown of Thorns (Painmistress Selora- Throne of Kil'jaeden) Shoulder: Shivan Shoulders of Scorn (Mistress Thavra- Temple of Shan'aar) (These have spirit on them too) Chest: Nethekurse's Robe of Contempt (Grand Warlock Nethekurse- Fel Forge) Wrist: Fel Singed Wraps (Felspark- Throne of Kil'jaeden) Hands: Twisted Taboo Handwraps (Szirek the Twisted- The Iron F

Drums of Cash

Image
A little, lesser known cash cow that came in with 5.4 are the Drums of Rage. The Drums are basically a 'lesser' version of Herolust Warp Hysteria. The Drum pattern is a drop from around Pandaria, so you should be able to get one easy while going about your normal raiding or farming. These drums are very easy to make, with only one Magnificent Hide required to make 20 of them. With the current price of the Hides globally being an average of 40g, that's pretty cheap. Now maths. 20 Drums cost 40 gold to make. That's 2 gold per drum. Seems pretty expensive, right? Well, these little lust charms sell for about 20 each. That's a massive return for very little work.

Fortune Exchange Market

Image
So, on my main for whatever reason I have Inscription and Engineering. Originally I leveled inscription back during Tauna's first days into the wild world of the Horde. She loves writing and blowing stuff up, who am I to question her motives? Anyway, one of the first things I did to kick-start my WoW gold making again in Warlords was make a lot of Mysterious Fortune Cards. Now, these tips will obviously differ depending on realm and such. But I made a killing on these and they are really easy to make. On my realm, there was literally no competition when I first started making these little gimmick items. None were posted onto the AH, and thus I controlled the market. I chose the price they would sell at, which started at 50 gold. Now, people may question this and obviously it is rather high for such a low chance for the client to make their money back. But they sold. Oh they sold. Like hotcakes. To make them, I used Nagrand Arrowbloom, but any Warlords herb

Weekly Report: 1

Hello all! I am going to start a new segment, posting my top selling auctions from the week and hopefully give some insight into my gold making for the week. This week I was practically swimming in War Paints so made loads of cards, which you can see became my main form of income for the week. I was also very lucky with drops from Tanaan, obtaining two Medallions that sold for 7k each.

Firelands Solo (Or how to make a quick chunk of gold)

Image
Firelands. One of my favourite raids ever and is one of the easiest raids to make a decent chunk of gold in. It's also very easy to solo nowadays with semi-decent gear. How to get there Easy. Take the portal to Mount Hyjal near your faction's Earth Shrine. This is located in either Stormwind for Alliance or Orgrimmar for Horde. To be able to use this, you have to have completed the first couple quests in Hyjal. These are pretty easy to get and just involves a bit of traveling. Then simply head inside. Make sure you have legacy raids set to 25 man Heroic for extra loot and gold.

Some WoW jokes to lighten the mood!

Image
Howdy all! I love World of Warcraft, but lately the community has been in a bit of turmoil. So, how about some jokes to lighten the mood! What's a rogue's favourite drink? Subtle tea. What did Gul'dan do when he tripped? He fel! How does Naxxramas fly? With its four wings. A dwarf walks past a bar. So Illidan and Ragnaros was having a dinner party, when they found out the chicken came out of the oven too soon and were not prepared. What do you call it if paladins and druids share a bath? A HoT tub with Bubbles. Why did the mage have sore eyes? Because his blink didn't do anything. Why aren't Warriors using intellect enchants? Because they don't want their weapons to be smarter than themselves. What do you get if you cross a gnome and a tauren? A mini-taur. What do you call an orc that sells its body? A whorc. What do you call it when it's raining in Mulgore? Taurential rain. Jesus came before the crowd and said "I of

Tauna's Essential (Unknown) Addon List

Image
Hello all! Tauna here with a list of addons that I could barely play without. I won't include DBM, TSM, Altoholic or Recount/Skada because everyone knows about them. Master Plan If you are still playing Warlords of Draenor without this addon, you are simply mad. It allows you to complete and queue up your garrison missions faster taking the hassle out of doing multiple alts and even your main. ElvUI My favourite full UI replacement. Makes everything look so pretty and so awesome. As you can see in the screenshot, it's very customizable and allows you to do what you will with it. Adibags A very simple bag addon, but powerful. Requires no work out of the package and will turn your life around if you are simply using the built in bags. Sorts items into categories for easy handling. Postal Obviously to help with the mail. The open all feature is the best for when you have a million different things on the auction house at any one time. XToLevel Does the m

Need followers? Here's a quick list of some easy ones to get!

Image
Howdy all! First post that hopefully provides some quick followers for people as they level or go back to fill their quota at level 100. This is mainly for Alliance, as they are my main faction, but most have variants for Horde as well.   Level 90 Fen Tao - Mistweaver Monk that you simply have to talk to in Ashran near the Inn  Artificier Romuul - Complete a simple event near Embaari Village. Qiana - Your first follower. Don't forget her!   Rulkan - Only have to do her quest to get this exile (the one where you find out about Ner'zhul) Shelly Hamby - Quickly go find where the Lost Lumberjacks went. Around 5-6 quests. Level 91 Delvar/Vivianne - These two are at the end of a simple run around quest in Ashran. Delvar for Alliance and Vivianne for Horde. Takes a couple minutes tops. Level 92 Tormmok - Kill some waves of adds around him and eventually he will join you Blook - Challenge him to a fight and he will join you if you win Level 94 Defender Ill

Introductions

Hello, internet! My name is Tauna, a Pandaren mage from the Caelestrasz server. I have decided to start a new blog to focus around my adventures, tips and general WoW'ness. I began playing just before Trial of the Crusader came out, hitting 80 just before the end of Lich King. Since then, it's been a while journey of PvP, raiding and hanging out with friends across multiple servers and with multiple mains, always returning to my mage though. I hit gold cap during Seige of Orgrimmar and have since spent it all. However, I just recently decided to get back into the gold making swing and have kicked off in full force! Hopefully I can provide some valuable information for people out there to check out!
