I just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know that my 250K gold Hall of Fame interview was posted over at WarcraftEcon today.

Here is a short excerpt.

Q: How did you learn to do it? Anyone or resource you would like to thank?

A: The Undermine Journal’s “frontpage” (before they shut down the first time) that listed a large number of gold-making blogs was the first place I found out there was even such a thing as a “gold blog”. I started off (like many people) by reading the blogroll at Just My Two Copper. From there I found Alto’s Goldish Advice, Cold’s Gold Factory and Nerf Faids. I’d have to say my early experiences were most influenced by those three blogs. When I decided to start blogging about gold-making I was thrown into a whole new world of gold-making ideas and (much like the Borg) have tried to “assimilate” as many gold-making tips as I can. Not every strategy is a fit for my own personal gold-making style but I’m fascinated by how others are making their gold.

I would like to thank all those in the gold-making community who share their time and effort writing gold-making blogs. I’d also like to thank all those who read my own blog and offer encouragement and share their own gold-making wisdom with me.

If you're interested in my thoughts on reaching 250K gold head over and read "Hall of Fame – 250K Gold Club: “fluxdada” aka Power Word: Gold" at WarcraftEcon.

I enjoyed doing the interview. It really helped me reflect back on the last 6 months of gold-making. Thanks again to all of our readers and fellow gold-making bloggers. You all are the reason I do what I do.

I'm on blogging break until late August however if you write a blog post (or have a WarcraftEcon interview published) about one of your own gold-making milestones please let me know (email powerwordgold@gmail.com) and I'll work on getting it added to the Community Gold-Making Milestones here at Power Word: Gold.

Today's guest post was written by Power Word: Gold reader and /r/WoWGoldMaking community member Texl. If you've reached a gold-making milestone and would like to share your experiences with the Power Word: Gold readers send us an email at powerwordgold@gmail.com.


One million gold! Six months ago the most I'd ever seen at once was about 50k, so hitting this milestone was quite a rush.

What started out as a plan to collect enough gold to buy up pieces for the then-rumored caster legendary soon became an interest in itself - I found making gold quite enjoyable, to the point where probably half of my play time was involved in gold-making pursuits. Now, I find myself out of game reading gold-making blogs and forums as much as raid strategy and class gameplay tips.

What you're all probably most interested in, though, is how I did it. I don't think I've done anything that would surprise seasoned gold-makers but after the jump you'll find my commentary on what I found effective (and not-so-effective) by profession.

I love Warcraft Econ. It's a site where anyone that reaches certain gold milestones (250K, 500K, 750K, 1M and 2M) can submit their own story for a chance to be included in The Warcraft Econ Hall of Fame. (See "Interview Submissions" section of the Hall of Fame page to find out how to submit your own milestone.)

I have to admit that I have a very short attention span and these interviews tend to go a bit long for me. I know that I've been missing out on some solid gold making strategies though. With that in mind I decided to make a TL;DR (Too long; didn't read.) post giving a small taste of the Hall of Fame interviews Warcarft Econ did in May 2011.

I hope that breaking these down into smaller chunks will help me glean some useful gold-making nuggets from these treasure troves of gold-making information. Follow me after the jump for my TL;DR version May's interviews.

We meet again.

According to this new-fangled Analyst addon I've been using in the last seven days I've grossed around 27k with a net profit of just over 14k.

In this weeks recap I'll be going over what worked, what didn't and what's new. I'll talk about how the gem market is treating me, some unexpected cooking recipe sales and watching prices yo-yo.

This last week was a good solid week for me gold-wise. Even with a slight detour to put some time into Rift I was still able to make some good gold in WoW.

As a little atta-boy for myself I reached over 60k this week. This is the most gold I've ever had at one time and it feels good.

In this weeks recap I'm going to be talking about what worked, what didn't, what was new and what to look forward to.

Nearing 40k. I love the smell of gold in the morning!

Well, it's Monday and the weekend is over (whew!). It's time to recap how my weekly gold making went. I'm going to go over what worked, what didn't and follow up with what I like to call "Odds and Trends".

By keeping track of how I did it will enable me to look back in the future and either see how far I've come in my gold making skills or perhaps help me remember a gold making strategy that worked. Follow me after the jump to see how I did.
