Build a WoW Item Pricing Spreadsheet Using TradeSkillMaster .CSVs + Google Drive Sheets


In this video I go over how to use the (Beta) TradeSkillMaster Web APIs (Stormspire post explaining the feature) to download a .csv of my realm auction house pricing data and build a Google Drive Sheets spreadsheet that allows me to access and manipulate that data to do things like:

  • Quickly show prices for multiple items on the AH in one look.
  • Quickly show prices for any list of item names or item IDs.
  • Be able to do things like calculate material costs for items.
  • See which crafted items are selling for the most and the cost per mat etc.

This video gives you all the basics to get your own spreadsheet started. Where you go from here is only limited by your imagination. I know I'm still thinking up ways to manipulate the data that these TradeSkillMaster .csvs offer us.

And, before anyone asks, I *do not* have a version of the spreadsheet you can download. This time I expect you to follow the video and build you own. This will (hopefully) teach you how to do it yourself and not just have you rely on using what someone else made. ("Give a man a fish…" and all that.)

Pre-Built Warlords Importable TradeSkillMaster Groups by Animadnb


(Today's guest post was written by Animadnb. If you would like your gold-making guest post featured on Power Word: Gold please submit it for consideration to powerwordgold@yahoo.com. In the email include the post title, post text, images, and a public name/pseudonym for attribution.)

So my name is Robert and I go by the nickname Animadnb. Some time ago I did a fresh install of WoW/TSM right after the release of WoD. Seeing as my TSM didn't have any groups at all, I decided to use the Power Word: Gold Grouper in combination with the new items on Wowhead to get some new groups going. Since the huge huge amount of new items I might have missed 1 or 2 so if you find something I missed please let me know. I will break down the groups each individually to tell why I have set up the groups like that. Read on past the jump for my groups for TSM import.

Back In The Saddle Again


I finally stole away some time to level my garrison and now I'm getting the dreaded "Character not found" error. This means that I have a bit of "free" time to do things like, oh I don't know, write a blog post!

How To Turn Off Outlines In Warlords of Draenor


If you don't like the "outlines" that Blizzard added in World of Warcraft Patch 6.0.2 the setting to turn them off is a bit buried. Here's how to turn them off.

TL:DR - Options > Interface > Display > Outline Mode > Disabled (or Quest Objectives Only)

Macros For Quickly Buying 5-Stack Vendor Items In WoD Beta



If you're like me and buying lots of items from your Garrison Trading Post vendor you might have noticed it is very annoying to have to click each and confirm buying each 5 stack or ore (for example).

I decided to use good old /framestack (or /fstack) command to see if I could build a macro that would click all those buttons for me…and it worked! Head past the jump for the macros and how I made them.

The "Bankless" Glyph System - Three Chars, Zero Banks!




YouTube: "Bankless" Glyph Selling Guide - Three Chars, Zero Banks!

My search for a glyph selling system that works for me continues. After 1.5 hours in glyph posting purgatory I decided there had to be a better way.

What I wanted to eliminate: running back and forth to bank dozens of times managing expired glyphs.

This video goes over my solution: Three glyph sellers each with four 36-slot Royal Scribe Satchels (which I farmed all the leather for and many many Molten Front fire spiders died to help make). Read on for more details on the "bankless" glyph system.

Glyph Posting Purgatory!!! - A Cautionary Tale



What do you get when you're still trying to figure out what the hell you're doing to deal with hundreds and hundreds of expired glyphs? Apparently you spend 1.5 hours mucking about. Ugh!

On a side note, after making this I came up with a new idea about how to deal with this. Might share more in the future. For now, whatcha see is whatcha get!

If nothing else this video shows what is really involved in selling a ton of glyphs. If you've never done it, grab a coffee and settle in. It's gonna be a long one.

Macros To Swap Your Bags To The Bank



A livestream viewer saw me using the bag to bank swap macros while doing my glyph selling routine. I thought I'd post them here so everyone can get the use.

Thanks to Faid of ClockworkRiot for sharing these macros with me. Eseven also pointed me to this post on The Consortium that had similar macros. Head past the jump for the macros.

Using TSM To Make & Sell Glyphs (With Faid)





YouTube: Using TSM To Make & Sell Glyphs Pt.1 - How To by Jim Younkin


After reading Faid's How to Compete in Glyphs post over at ClockworkRiot I got fired up to jump back into the glyph market. I decided I wanted to record the experience of setting up my entire glyph creation and selling set up for posterity.

I was lucky enough to have Faid join me to help me for each step along the way. If you've ever wanted a complete soup-to-nuts explanation on how to properly set up a large glyph operation these two video (clocking in at a combined 3 hours) are about as good as it gets.

Again my gratitude to Faid for sharing her considerable glyph selling knowledge and her patience with helping me get it set up. Part 1 is above. Head past the jump for Part 2.

The Fastest Way I Know To Level 11 Characters



(Quick personal note: April and I were blessed to have a hearty and healthy baby girl come into our lives on Dec 10, 2013. She is our first and, as any parent can tell you, babies take up a lot of time. The results are totally worth the effort but if you notice things slowing down a bit here at Power Word: Gold just know we're busy helping "level up" the cutest level one you've ever seen.)

With 11 new characters (and 22 new professions) to level in the next month I thought I'd go over something I briefly touched on in Episode 77 of the podcast: The most efficient way to level 11 new characters.

In the podcast I mentioned that Recruit-a-Friend was likely going to factor into my strategy. In this post I'm going to explain how I'm planning to use Recuit-a-Friend to level 11 new characters as fast as I can.
