How Normal Players Like To Make Gold
Every once and a while a gold-making thread will pop up on /r/wow. When they do I love reading the comments to try and learn what normal (ie. non-gold-maker) players do to make gold.
When the thread "How do you like to make your gold?" popped up today I was anxious to see what commenters were saying.
Learning how different players think about gold-making is a good way to stay a well-rounded gold-maker. Read on past the jump for some quotes from the thread.

Transferring? How To Choose A New Server For Gold-Making
It seems that a lot of people have been transferring or looking to transfer servers lately. When I asked why on twitter and Facebook the majority of the responses tended to fall into a few main categories including looking for a fresh start or wanting to "change things up" to add life back into the game.
Another common reason seemed to be a desire to leave a server where the player was having difficulty with making gold (often attributed to either a very high or very low server/faction population).
While I've been happy on the same server for the last 8 years (and have no desire to transfer) the reasons above are very valid. When Selltacular suggested writing a guide for gold-makers looking to transfer and I thought it was a great idea.
The following advice is for players looking at a server transfer as a way to improve their gold-making situation. Read on past the jump for more.

Selling Glyphs Scares The Hell Out Of Me
There was a time back in Wrath of the Lich King when selling glyphs was my number one source of gold. Now it's a market I cringe away from. Why?

"I recently watched a livestream where Jim was vendoring 83-84 greens which he sells for like 300-400g each. His reasoning behind this was he did’nt [sic] want them filling up his guild bank so only kept one extra item.
…
I myself have 7, 8, 9, 10 copies of the exact same 83-84 green,I know I can post 1 - 2 and drop the others in the guild bank or mail them off."

Juggling that much unnecessary back stock would drive me nuts.

Reporting/Stopping In-Game Calendar Spammers
Image Source |
I complained about the recent in-game calender gold spam on twitter and @NotAnna was kind of enough to share the above image where Blizzard CSM Velocytori gives some advice for people wanting to report and/or help stop the calendar spam.
NotAnna was also nice enough to provide the copy and paste-able text for us all as well.
If right-clicking on the event and selecting "Report Player" doesn't work try the macro below.
Be sure to read time text in the image above (click on image to enlarge) for the full instructions.
Here is the relevant macro text for removing the invite in text form.
/run for i=0,99 do for y=1,31 do t,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,iB =CalendarGetDayEvent(i,y,1) if iB=="" or t=="TITLE" then CalendarContextInviteRemove(i,y,1) end end end
*Important: Replace TITLE in the script above, with the name of the spam event*

Proof vs. Evidence [Link]
Phat Lewts wrote:
"I just believe that Jim's argument is not compelling, and I know that I definitely would not want him to be my lawyer based on his definition of proof. All he provides is circumstantial evidence at best, while throwing the word proof around as if it's meaningless."

I now think evidence would have been a better choice of words.
Be sure to read the full post for more on Phat's reasoning as well as our original post.

"While we have always had competition in our markets I have never seen so many people with seemingly no idea as to what they are doing. Many markets have people selling items for a loss.

Titan's Grip Polearm And Staff Transmog In 5.4?
So this screenshot showing polearms and staves being able to be used (and likely transmogged for each other) with Titan's Grip showed up on /r/wow.
After a bit more digging it seems WoW Insider was able to get Ghostcrawler to cough up that polearms were "on the list for patch 5.4".
Looks like warriors are in for a whole new world of transmog options. I might have to start looking for beastly looking staves and polearms to stock up and sell if/when this goes live.
Can you say dual Telaari Polearms? Or maybe a nice pair of Frostscythes of Lord Ahune!!

Calculate Approximate Black Market Auction House Prices
In this quick video we show how to use a spreadsheet and The Undermine Journal data to calculate the median and average prices for completed items on the Black Market Auction House.
This can be helpful if you are thinking about bidding on a BMAH item but want to be careful not to over pay and not under pay. I also show how to find out if it has sold on your AH recently and for how much.

Proof Of Jeweled Onyx Panther Duping And Its Effects On Pricing
This isn't the first time that we've looked into evidence of duping (illicit duplication) of items (both big and small) in World of Warcraft. We've been hearing livestream viewers and readers complaining about duping of the Jeweled Onyx Panther mounts.
We decided to dig deeper into the actual numbers and try to determine if duping of panther mounts is happening and if so what its effects on pricing and the sellability of these mounts by gold-makers. Read on past the jump for more.

The Case Of The Mysteriously Quite Crowd

Making Gold With Blacksmithing: Hardened Obsidium Tanking Plate
Today we have a quick gold-making tip for any Blacksmiths who are looking for a way to squeeze a bit more gold out of there profession. (This tip was also mentioned on Episode 58 of the Power Word: Gold Podcast.)
I've been making and selling the Hardened Obsidium Set (level 80 plate tanking items) since Cataclysm and to this day it still sells very well. I sell the items for right around 395g each and they often sell out quickly.
In Mists of Pandaria I've noticed that ore and bar prices for the Obsidium and Elementium used to craft these has gone up so keep an eye on the auction house for cheap ore or mine it yourself.
Bonus Content: If you' re looking for some new gold-making blogs be sure to check out The Drunken Mogul (by GoblinRaset), GetRichWoW (by Erogroth) and Thairus' Creative Accounting (by Thairus).
