The question for today is;


"Have you bought yourself anything really expensive as a reward for earning all that gold? Or do you have a self-present in mind for when you reach your goal?"


Hell yeah! I'm all about the spending! I've not only lavished myself with gifts buy my friends too! My first big purchase after hitting gold cap was my Spectral Tiger - a mount I'd coveted for years. I've bought a great deal of mounts and pets some from the Black Market auction house, some of which I've posted about on the blog.


I've bought my Fiance a Rooster mount, given away about eight Vial of the Sands and multiple Hogs. Geared my Fiance up for raiding on various alt to the sum of about 200k. 

I dread to think how much gold I've actually spend but that's the good thing about making gold! I've never fully understood making it just to sit on it!

20 Days of Gold Making - Day Seven.

Nev from Auction House Addict has created a community project for the gold makers among us 20 Days of Gold Making You can find a list of all of the participants in this blog post at AH addict.

The question for today is;

"If you were starting over again (maybe on a new server perhaps), how would you start building some capital & what goal would you set yourself?"

I'm actually experiencing this first hand at the moment on two separate servers. I introduced my best friend to World of Warcraft late in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Using Recruit a Friend we initially leveled our characters really fast, too fast. With her being completely new to the game I had her roll a character on my server. While she enjoyed the game she fell pregnant during early Cataclysm and stopped playing. Now baby is just over one year old and sleeping well during the night she has her evenings mostly to herself giving her time to play again! Which works out great for me as WoW is a great way for us to keep in touch since I moved away from home. Thankfully with real ID we're still able to play together as I transferred off of the server not long after she quit playing.

One problem leveling so fast caused was her never having very much gold. Given that she's completely new to the game and finds a lot of it hard to grasp introducing her to the auction house and especially auction house addons is the last thing I want to do right now! So I've decided to make her some gold so it's one less thing she needs to worry about. Not a vast amount, I'd like her to get there on her own eventually but for now I want her to be able to buy things without having to worry about not having enough gold to repair or buy gems. I want her to have enough to buy a reputation related mount if she wants to.

I have a level eighty three very much abandoned Rogue left on the server which I have no intention of ever leveling. Now is the absolute perfect time to start on a new server or to start building a bit of capital if you're just starting out as the Darkmoon Faire is in town. .

In the water surrounding the Darkmoon Isle are fishing nodes called Shipwrecked Debris. Fishing from these pools awards you Sealed Crate's. Inside the Sealed Crate will be Mists of Pandaria crafting materials and potions (providing your game is upgraded to Mists of Pandaria). Each pool can contain one or two crates. The great thing about this is it can be done with lower levels as there are no hostile mobs in the area. While the Shipwrecked Debris can spawn all over the isle I tend to stick to the western shore as I can run along it without having to swim or jump over cliffs, especially good if you are on a lower level character.

Darkmoon Isle fishing route.

In half an hour I was able to fish up twenty eight crates although I was able to mount to run between pools. I picked up three mote of harmony which for the moment are pretty useless however I was able to sell the following mats. The crates also contain a few silver each.

4 Exotic Leather - 23g 95s
5 Spirit Dust - 24g 89s
61 Windwool Cloth - 73g 81s
3 Kyporite - 5g 45s
3 Black Trillium - 25g 92s
3 White Trillium - 22g 65s
17 Ghost Iron Ore - 42g 49s
28 Healing Potions - 105g 77s
1 Potion of the Mountains - 1g 85s
9 Darkmoon Firewater - 16g 91s

If the Darkmoon Faire isn't ongoing then don't worry there are plenty of other go to gold making tactics for starting out on a new server.

Gathering - Pick up two gathering professions while you level. I personally prefer Mining and Skinning. I feel with Mining and Herbalism I end up running all over the map chasing those yellow dots! I prefer Mining over Herbalism due to the Smelting part of the professions. You can often find Ore which you can Smelt into Bars and resell at a higher price.

Flipping Vendor Items - If you're playing Alliance there is a vendor is Stormwind Kendor Kabonka who sells Cooking recipies. You don't have to have cooking to purchase these. You can purchase them all for only a few silver each (he sells two BoP recopies - don't buy those). They can sell on the Auction house from anywhere between 4g and 100g. Your server may vary. I find around 35g to be a reasonable price to sell them at if there aren't any on the auction house. This guy is just one of many.

Visit this post on The Consortium with multiple lists of vendor and limited supply recipes.

Battle Pets - One of the great things about Battle Pets is that you can cage them and trade them to other players or sell them on the Auction House. If you've created a new alt on a smaller population server than the one you ordinarily play on this can net you some serious gold. Having previously played on a High population server I was able to buy several level twenty five pets for under three thousand gold. I later sold these on my own Medium population server for nine thousand gold each!

The pets you obtain from Vanilla raids which as part of the Raiding with leaches achievement can all be caged and sold. With your higher level character on your main server you can easily farm these pets once a week from Molten Core, Naxxramus, Blackwing Lair and Ahn'Qiraj. When on your new character on your new server, open up your Pet Journal, find the pet and right click on it to cage it. This can then be sold on the Auction House. They don't always sell for much but if you're just looking for a bit of start up cash they'll certainly do the trick.

Flipping items - These methods should help you gather a bit of gold and once you do you can start browsing the Auction House for items to flip. I flip a lot of armour for either transmogrification or for leveling characters. At level seventy seven you can begin wearing Cataclysm green armour and at level eighty three you can begin wearing Mists of Pandaria green armour. As these items increase your stats by an crazy amount people are willing to spend a lot of gold on them for alts. I typically buy these green items for under sixty gold and resell them for two hundred and eighty. Be aware of the stats on the armour before you purchase them. No one is going to want that plate helm with Strength and Spirit.

Mithrildar posted a collection of useful gold making threads post on the Consortium Forum with posts detailing acquiring capital, crafting, flipping and addons which is absolutely fantastic for anyone starting out.

20 Days of Gold Making - Day Four and Five.

Nev from Auction House Addict has created a community project for the gold makers among us 20 Days of Gold Making You can find a list of all of the participants in this blog post at AH addict.

I've incorporated two questions into one post.

The question for today is;

Do you use a banker alt/guild? When did you start doing that & why?
Do you keep the same banker alt or do you change them up occasionally? Why?

Soco. Guild bank.

I use both. I often go back and forth between using a bank alt and not. Both have their advantages and disadvantages but I've always used a guild bank. Using one character to handle all of your sales means that your mailbox can get clogged up pretty fast. Constantly mailing items around can cause items to get lost or backed up in mailboxes.

Soco was my first real bank character devoted to having her own guild bank. She handed all of my auction housing. During Wrath and Cataclysm as a raider I kept not only my main but the majority of my alts in my raiding guild. So I used Soco for selling everything. Anything I crafted was mailed straight to her, every week I'd take out the appropriate materials and send them to each of my alts for their daily cooldowns for the week.

More recently having taken a bit of a break from raiding my Priest is the guild leader of her own  level twenty five guild which also contains all of my alts. This makes handling materials easier as well as maintaining daily cooldowns. Anything I buy can be deposited straight into the bank rather than mailing things around every day. I prefer this method personally.

I do however have certain characters which handle certain items;

Priest - JC rings and random things I pick up during daily quests as she's my most played character I like to keep her bags as clear as I can.
Shaman - Flasks, potions and food. Anything required pre raid.
Druid - Raid consumables such as gems, enchant scrolls, leg armours and belt buckles. Anything required post raid.
Rogue - Crafted Blacksmith, Leatherworking and Tailoring crafted PvP gear as well as MoP and Cata flipping greens.
Warclock - Glyphs.

20 Days of Gold Making - Day Three

Nev from Auction House Addict has created a community project for the gold makers among us 20 Days of Gold Making You can find a list of all of the participants in this blog post at AH addict.

The question for today is;

What were the first techniques/tricks/tips you used when starting out?

Jeez, it's been such a long time it's hard to really remember. As I mentioned in Day One of this Gold making blogging challenge I started making gold though necessity, needing thousands of herbs to mill down and turn into inks to make Darkmoon Cards for reputation. Along with the Inks needed to make cards they also required Eternal Life. The prices on these Eternals fluctuated wildly depending on how many people on the server were doing the same reputation grind and whether the weekly quest in Wintersgrasp required you to kill the nature mobs or one of the other elements.

Frozen Orbs. In an attempt to save money where I could I started to buy Frozen Orbs off of the Auction House for a maximum of 15g and trade them into Frozo in Dalaran for Eternal Life which at the time were closer to 25-30g each. Once I'd completed my FoS I continued to trade in Orbs but for Eternal Fire.which typically sold for 38-45g each.
 
Netherweave Bags. One of the first things I did when I started making gold in World of Warcraft was to sit down and really think about what people would buy. What I bought. One of the things on that list was bags. I've always been a bit of an alt-aholic and one of the first things I always do is mail a new alt some bags. I wasn't about to risk losing gold on crafting Frostweave bags as I didn't have much but Netherweave Cloth was low enough for me to give a shot. Buying Netherweave Cloth for 3g a stack. One bag requires one stack of cloth, I'd sell the bags anywhere between 12g and 30g.

Tailoring Cloths. Ebonweave, Moonshroud and Spellweave were fantastic sellers for me during Wrath of the Lich King. They were required to make BoE epics. While I was never interested in trying to sell the epics myself I was more than happy to provide the cloth at a huge markup. Using Frozen Orbs to trade into more expensive Eternals continued to pay off with this one!

Halaani Claymore. Within Halaa there's a vendor called Aldraan who sells the Halaani Claymore as well as a thrown weapon (which is no longer sold as they were removed from the game). These items used to be fantastic for disenchanting when your faction held Halaa. There was a point during Wrath of the Lich King where Feral Druids and Rogues used the Mongoose enchant from The Burning Crusade as it was best in slot for a short while until it was nerfed. This vendor gave me an incredibly cheap and lazy way to acquire Arcane Dust and Greater Cosmic Essences.

Exchanging Borean leather for Arctic Fur. In Darlaran you can exchange 10 Heavy Borean Leather for One Arctic Fur from Braeg Stoutbeard. This was fantastic for me. I'd grab up any cheap leather I could get my grubby hands on.

Vendor Recipes. Often vendors have items of interest. I myself am pretty lazy when it comes to visiting a vendor for a recipe while leveling a profession and I'm not the only one. Faid make an awesome video showing the route she uses to pick up vendor recopies for flipping. Make sure to visit Faid's Blog ClockworkRiot she writes a fantastic World of Warcraft gold blog as well as the new Litecast in which she answers gold making related questions.



Some of these methods of gold making are slightly time sensitive especially the tailoring cloths however bags are still profitable on most servers, Frostweave and Embersilk bags continue to be great sellers for me. Flipping vendor recopies and pets never gets old.

20 Days of gold Making - Day Two

Nev from Auction House Addict has created a community project for the gold makers among us 20 Days of Gold Making You can find a list of all of the participants in this blog post at AH addict.

The question for today is;

"If you set yourself a goal, what was your goal & at what point did you set it?"

I mentioned in my last post in this gold making series after I'd completed my FoS I continued to make gold. I didn't purposefully set any goals for myself in Wrath of the Lich King but shortly after my new found success with the auction house I discovered gold blogs. Since I'd been a follower of the Livejournal community WoW_Ladies I knew that World of Warcraft blogs existed but I wasn't aware of just how many there were. Or that there were any dedicated to making gold in game. I understood that you could purchase gold or guides to help you make gold but I wasn't aware of all of the free information out there available from people with an interest in that side of the game, who wanted to teach and help other people to make their own gold.

Mage Tier Four.

 Just My Two Copper, Hit the Cap and Stockpile were among the first few gold blogs I'd found. I was able to pick up a lot more information and progressed further into my own gold making. I hit the original gold cap of 214k right before the start of Cataclysm but I don't remember actively seeking it. 

In late June of 2011, during Cataclysm the 4.2 patch landed which not only introduced The Firelands but made Tier eleven available from vendors with Justice Points. I made around 200k from gems, enchants and various item enhancements I had stockpiled before the patch. By that point I was nearing 500k and decided to make a push towards the new gold cap of One million.

20 Days of Gold Making - Day One.

Nev from Auction House Addict has created a community project for the gold makers among us 20 Days of Gold Making You can find a list of all of the participants in this blog post at AH addict.
This post will also be part of the February Gold Blogging Carnival over at Cold's Gold Factory.

The first question in the series is;

"When did you start gold making & what triggered it?"

My journey into gold making didn't kick off until later in Wrath of the Lich King despite having played since Vanilla WoW. In my first few months of WoW I didn't even know there was such a thing as an Auction House. When killing mobs I'd loot the coins and leave the rest of the items on the corpses. A friend had told me cloth was used in tailoring and I wasn't a tailor so I saw no use for it, the same went for leather or cloth BoE greens. I played a Warrior, I wore mail I didn't need any of this useless trash! Little did I know then that once I got to level forty I wouldn't be able afford my first mount which at the time was a whopping 100g. Thankfully I did have a friend who played the game and he took me to Western Plaguelands to farm Runecloth and BoE items to sell on my newly discovered Auction House and I was finally able to buy my mount and training around level forty five / forty eight. I continued to use this method of making gold for the rest of Vanilla as some nights I could barely afford to repair after raiding. Farming on a Protection Warrior was tedious and sometimes difficult so I stuck to lower level mobs.

Throughout The Burning Crusade I managed to maintain a steady flow of gold from running my daily heroics and posting any additional cloth and crafting materials on the Auction House. By the middle of BC I had five level seventies all with maxed out professions. I sold everything I picked up on the Auction House but I never spent any of my gold. Having all of my professions maxed meant that I could farm the mats for whatever I needed to craft for my own use. It never dawned on me that other people would also need gems, armour patches or food buffs.

During Wrath of the Lich King Blizzard introduced a Feat of Strength called Insane in the Membrane. I knew I wanted it but I had no idea how I was going to get it. I'd already read a post on the WoW_Ladies community on Livejournal about someone who had farmed all of the herbs needed to complete the Darkmoon Faire exalted section of the achievement. At the time there was no Darkmoon Faire with daily quests to hand in for reputation You had to hand in Darkmoon Decks in exchange for BoE trinkets. You could collect the cards from instances, rare mobs or create them with Inscription. I attempted to follow in her footsteps and farm herbs in Zangarmash in order to create cards but I very quickly realized that wasn't going to work for me. I hated farming and I decided I had to find another way.

I had around seven thousand gold and six level eighties. It was at this point that I started using the Auction house daily and getting creative with ways to not only save gold but make gold. I scrapped the idea of making Burning Crusade cards deciding to focus on Wrath of the Lich King cards. Many of the trinkets still sold for 3,000-5,000g meaning I would be able to recoup some of my gold back if I bought the herbs to craft the cards I'd also check the AH every day for cheap cards. I installed Auctioneer which provided me with %'s and market values on the right hand side of the AH interface allowing me to gauge when was a good time to buy and when was a good time to sell. Previous to the addons I was completely oblivious to the idea of market value. I just expected items to be the same price every day. I'd never really given the WoW economy much though. Since I could only hand in my Darkmoon decks once every month there came weeks where I'd have little to no gold after buying stacks upon stacks of Icethorn to mill.

In order to continue buying materials I had to find a way to make gold while waiting for the faire to come to town to sell my trinkets. Once I began to think about it, it became really obvious to me that the things I need other people also need. Everyone needs gems, enchants, flasks, bags etc. I started buying up Netherweave Cloth for 3g per stack and selling the bags for 12g. I'd check the Auction House for cheap gems during the day to cut and sell after raid time.

I slowly started making more gold than I was hemorrhaging out on herbs and even after I had completed my feat of strength I continued making gold. It was in my blood now, part of my routine and something I continue to do today.

If you take nothing else away from this blog post at least take this; Loot EVERYTHING!

My daily gold making routine.

Making gold in World of Warcraft always has and probably always will take up a chunk of my play time so it's something I'll talk about here form time to time. I usually follow the same routine every day when I first log on and get most of it done before I settle down to anything else.

It's not very exciting but to be honest most of gold making isn't. From time to time you will discover a new niche market you had never thought of, something will sell for a completely unexpected price or you'll find an amazing deal. While those are great it's not something that happens every day. Making gold in Wow is mostly about patience and repetition once you have a grasp on your markets however depending on your reasons for making gold it will be very rewarding. I'll give you a bit of a run down on how my morning typically goes.

The first thing I do when I log into wow is log onto my bank character. She's a level one who's parked in Shattrath City as there is minimal lag there. I empty any expired auctions from the mailbox. I use the guide posted by Jim at Power Word Gold for buying 77-80 cata greens with Auctioneer buying up any armour piece under 70g and any weapon under 100g. I only buy and sell these items with this character along with vendor recipes and pets, she usually has around 500-1000 auctions up.  I post my new items on the auction house along with the expired items using Trade skill master.

Pie chart of items sold by my bank alt. Chart from  https://eu.theunderminejournal.com/

Next up I do my round of transmutes. I have four Alchemists at the moment (leveling a fifth) three of which have the transmute mastery giving them a chance to proc extra items. My other alchemist has potion mastery. My use of my transmutes varies from day to day. I've recently been transmuting Essence of Water into Essence of Air for use in Heirloom +Agility enchants. I keep a few scrolls on the Auction house the rest are going into a stockpile for MoP. This also shares a cool down with Transmute: Living elements and Transmute: Truegold so I tend to switch it around every few days. I use my Living elements cool down on one character to provide cheap Volatile Air for my Truegolds. I'm stockpiling some Truegold for MoP but not a massive amount.

The first character I tend to do my Transmute on is my Priest. Once I'm done I empty my mail, repost unsold gems and search for cheap Elementium Ore. I then do my Jewelcrafting daily in Stormwind. I've also started doing my Dalaran daily because I'd like to collect all of the patterns.

I log onto my Mage do her transmute, collect mail and repost. As she is my main tailor (I have two)  I check Trade skill masters crafting list for items to craft at a profit. I then do my transmute on my Warrior who is also a Tailor but I don't check hers as I haven't bought patterns on both characters.

I log onto my Shaman, transmute and do my Stormwind Jewelcrafting daily quest. I buy a Chimera's Eye with the jewelcrafting token and sell it on the Auction house.

Next I log onto my Druid. Collect mail, disenchant anything I've sent myself, repost / restock Enchanting scrolls and do a Tradeskill master destroying search for items I can buy to disenchant for profit.

Almost done! I log into my Hunter who's my Leather working alt. I'll empty my mail, repost anything that hasn't sold and check for items to craft for profit. While I'm on my Hunter I'll also see if the Alliance has recently won Tol Barad. If they have this is usually a great time to head over and skin the dead crocks and spiders people leave behind from doing their daily quests.

I'll log onto my Warlock who is my Scribe. Cancel and repost glyphs I've been undercut on for the first time of the day. This is something I'll do multiple times during the day.

I then log back onto my bank alt and go though my shopping list (snatch list) of items I know I want to buy depending on the price. I'll check for cheap herbs, leather, ore and cloth. Either for my MoP stockpile or for use in crafting. As well as a few random items. I'll make a post about my snatch list at a later date. 


Admittedly, looking though this post to non gold makers probably looks like a lot. To some other gold makers it might seem like very little. After some time and practice it's easy to get this routine down and it's all become automatic as well as picking up speed the more you do it. From there throughout my day or play time I add bits in here and there. I check The Undermine Journal and Wow Uction for quick deals, cancel and repost items on certain characters specifically glyphs.

I'm not one to babysit the auction house. I'll take time between doing heroics or leveling to check my auctions. Also with having two tailors each Wednesday I do all of my Dreamcloth cool downs (except air) because I'll always remember to do them by setting myself a specific day to do them.

Not enough time in the day.

Arrgghh I've been crazy busy this week! With the mogolympics in full swing, gearing up my Warrior a bit more and a bit of gold making here and there, busy, busy!

I love Moggit especially now that I know how to use it ahem but I generally prefer to use it only to scout out items then go and collect them. So when I'm not glued to Moggit I've been running instances or raids. I had to do the first boss in Black Morass no lie 29 times for what I had previously consider my favourite bow. It isn't my favourite bow anymore and I wish it and everyone who has it a fiery death.

In terms of gold making every thing is going well. I'm very casually getting back into my grove. Numbers are going up and that's always a good thing. I'm spending a lot of time hunting gear and rep grinding on various alts for transmog items. I'm still not utilizing my professions or time very well but that'll come once I'm a bit less busy with everything else.

Ideally I should clear out my TSM data and start a fresh. The vials of the sands I had bought and sold when I transferred servers. I'm sure the gold earned is also counted from when i transferred. Once I'm settled in a bit better I might even post some tips about making gold but in the meantime have a look at my blogroll. There are a few excellent gold making blogs in there.

Getting back into gold making.

Most people seem to be experiencing a bit of a lull in WoW at the moment, I on the other hand feel completely different. Since I quit raiding a few months ago I have so much extra time on my hands. While I'm really enjoying not raiding I do now have a massive list of things I need or want to finish off before Mists of Pandaria!

One of those things is getting back into gold making. When I originally hit the gold cap I had been playing on the same server for many years and had amassed multiple level 85's all with maxed professions. When I later transferred off of that server I quickly began to feel lost when it came to gold making. I had no alts on my new server to back me up, I couldn't shuffle ore effectively. I had no awareness of the markets and to top it off I had to leave the majority of my gold back on Quel'Thalas as guild transfers weren't available yet.

I saw no use in continuing to make gold on Quel'Thalas as I had no need for the gold over there with no intention of playing any of those characters ever again, so I kind of just.. stopped altogether.

Quick! Steal it all while no one is looking!

Since I don't make gold just for the sake of making gold I actually enjoy it I started to add a few things into my routine to get myself back on track. Buying and selling transmogrification items, selling Cataclysm level 77-80 green armour. Sniping awesome deals from the Undermine Journal's great deals list.

Cataclysm 77-80 greens. 

Fast forward a few months and things are looking up certainly going into MoP more prepared that I was. I have several level 85's on my new server all with maxed professions and I've even started stockpiling for MoP. I'm currently sat (around) 480300g liquid. 


I still have Blacksmithing to finish off but my baby Paladin is only level 55. I have two Jewelcrafters, six alchemists, enchanting, mining and skinning. Two tailors, one leather worker. The only thing I'm missing is engineering but I have no desire to pick that up on any of my characters. 

A lot has changed since I stopped making gold being that I'm now on a crazy high population server (with several well known gold makers might I add!) but here's hopping it's as easy to fall back into as it was originality!

Wish me luck.

A week of winning!

I've had a pretty good week in WoW. Neri over at Neri Approves hosted a trashy transmog competition asking readers to send in a screenshot of their trashiest transmogrification. She announced that the three people with the highest votes would win a Soul of the aspects pet. I stumbled upon the competition a bit late but I decided to enter with my little Protection Paladin wearing the Saltstone set. I'd managed to pick up a couple of pieces from the Auction House at ridiculous prices, justified only by the fact that I'll be able to keep the set forever. A long term investment, yeah, that's right. I think the idea of skimpy armour is hilarious, especially on tanks.

Stop judging me.

Low and behold I won. I've never won anything before (albeit I've never entered anything before but still.) I was stoked! I wanted this pet when it was first released but I don't really want to buy any of the pet shop pets. I've given Blizzard enough money over the years from transfers and faction changes, besides I'm a total cheapo.

Thank you so much Neri. I adore him! <3

Uh, thanks Breanni

If that wasn't enough the WoW Factor visited the EU for the first time last night on the Chamber of Aspects server. Nev from Auction House Addict sponsored the event with 100 thousand gold which was given away to participants! I had a level 74 Priest knocking around on the server so I decided to tag along. I've been waiting for these events to come to the EU since they started so I was super excited! I took some screen shots during the event.

Have you been lucky enough to have a WoW factor show on your server or have you ever thought of setting up your own fashion show? I'd love for them to come to my main server! If you would like to sponsor an event on your server you can contact the WoW Factor crew.

Time for a change

Since I started playing Wow something I've always struggled with is the ability to play on multiple servers. I like to stay within my own little bubble surrounded by all of my alts. Alts I have on other servers which I don't consider my main server are often left lonely, sad and abandoned.

Having played on the same server since I started playing just before patch 4.3 was released I transferred my main along with some friends hoping to find a new home on a new server.  The server was busy, crowded even - compared to our previous old, dying server. It was great to begin with so many new faces, guilds we'd never heard of. Trade chat was constantly moving with the daily hustle and bustle, achievement runs, transmogrification gear runs, Battleground premades nothing like where we'd came from. The novelty soon wore off for me as we'd decided on a PvP server. Something I hadn't quite prepared myself for. When discussing which new server we were going to chose I thought I could handle being on a PvP server but I soon found out that I was sorely mistaken. For the past few months I've felt trapped, confined within the wall of Stormwind. I hated leveling, questing for reputation, farming with what felt like the constant threat of someone hanging over me just waiting for that free honor kill.

So I'm transferring.

You jelly of my paint skills bro?

Goodbye PvP server, hello new welcoming, friendly PvE server. I've missed being able to AFK randomly without fear of coming back to my cold, lifeless goat face buried deep into the ground.

Over the past month or two I've taken steps to securing myself a new home on this server. I've leveled a Druid, Mage and Shaman to 85 with several others waiting in the wings. I've amassed multiple professions and two guild banks. Which means I can now start preparing for Mists of Pandaria with both characters and from a gold making standpoint.

I'm really looking forward to getting back into my grove, back into my bubble.

I won't miss you.

I've had to drop myself down to under 50,000g as that is the maximum amount you can transfer with. The easiest way for me to do this was with several Vial of the Sands and many stacks of gems.

I'm excited about moving. Really excited!

What kind of server do you play on? Would you ever change server? Leave a comment or you can find me on Twitter @SocoWow
